Chapter 549 Killing Two Birds with One Stone
Father Nie turned around to make a phone call. The second son of the Nie family had no choice but to shrug helplessly at his wife and leave the living room.
Nie Jinxi did not rush back to the room. Instead, she caught up with Old Nie and called out softly, "Grandpa—"
Elder Nie stopped, turned around and looked at her, and asked in a calm tone, "Jinxi, do you have anything else to say?"
"I..." Nie Jinxi hesitated for a moment and said cautiously, "Can I bring Ji Minghuan to Nie Yao's engagement ceremony?"
Elder Nie frowned unhappily, looking at Nie Jinxi sharply, and asked coldly, "Jinxi, are you still associating with that Ji Minghuan?"
Facing her grandfather's inquiring gaze, Nie Jinxi's palms broke out in cold sweat, but she still nodded and responded softly.
"What nonsense!" Old Nie snorted coldly, too lazy to pay attention to her, and prepared to turn around and leave.
"Grandpa—" Nie Jinxi hurried forward and grabbed Old Man Nie's arm, saying with a wry smile, "Don't be angry. You know, Minghuan and I have been together for a long time. I can't possibly give up on him... And because of the engagement, the Ji family was a little dissatisfied with us, the Nie family, and felt that we had broken our promise. But if I marry Ji Minghuan, it will still be considered a marriage between the two families, so the engagement hasn't expired, and it can be considered as restoring the reputation of the Nie family!"
"Jinxi, so you are saying that you are with Ji Minghuan for the sake of the Nie family's reputation?" Old Nie raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
"I dare not..." Nie Jinxi was afraid of angering her grandfather, so she quickly waved her hands and smiled awkwardly, "I just wanted to tell you, Grandpa, that this is a win-win situation! You saw today, that Master Li Jiu sent an invitation, but he didn't say anything else. This shows that he doesn't take our Nie family seriously. So, if our Nie family and the Ji family can also form an alliance, at least we won't be suppressed by the Li family and have no chance of survival!"
When Mr. Nie heard her say this, he remained silent, as if he was lost in thought.
"Grandpa, I know that Sister Nie Yao doesn't like me, so I'm not sure whether she would like to see me at the engagement ceremony, so I..."
Nie Jinxi stopped talking here.
Elder Nie shook his head, patted Nie Jinxi's shoulder, and whispered, "No, A-Yao isn't such a petty person. Besides, the invitation sent by Li Jinxing emphasized all members of the Nie family. You are also a member of the Nie family, so of course you have to go with us!"
Nie Jinxi breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and said with a smile, "Yes, Grandpa, then Ji Minghuan..."
Before she could finish, Elder Nie rejected her request and said in a deep voice, "Ji Minghuan is not a member of the Nie family, so there is no reason for him to go with you. If the Li family is willing to invite, they will naturally invite the Ji family to participate. You don't have to worry about this matter!"
"Yes!" Nie Jinxi didn't dare to say anything more after seeing her grandfather said so. Although she felt a little disappointed, she could only lower her head and responded obediently.
"Alright, go get some rest. The plane will pick you up tomorrow. Pick out some nice dresses so as not to bring shame to our Nie family!"
After giving some instructions, Mr. Nie turned around and went back to his room.
Nie Jinxi quickly responded respectfully. Watching Old Nie leave, she could only curl her lips and return to her room. She opened the closet door and looked at the closet full of luxury clothes and fell into deep thought.
Since Nie Yao dared to invite her to the engagement ceremony, she had to dress up nicely and let everyone see who was the real daughter of the Nie family!
