Chapter 576 Whose Rules
Lin Anqi's expression changed slightly, and she picked up the coffee and took a sip angrily.
She remembered that today's protagonist was Nie Yao, and she found a way to retort Nie Jinxi. She sneered and replied, "Yes, I'm not really good-looking. It's a pity that someone who calls herself a beauty is nothing more than an ugly duckling in front of a real beauty..."
When Lin Anqi said this, she saw Nie Jinxi's unhappy expression and smiled while eating eggs, "Nie Jinxi, I'm right, aren't I? You, a fake daughter, think you can outshine the real daughter with just your looks? Nie Yao has a good foundation to begin with. Look at the professional team that Master Li Jiu hired for Nie Yao. You can't even match her!"
Nie Jinxi's face turned pale and blue, and she could no longer eat the rest of her breakfast. She quickly wiped her mouth with a tissue, then stood up and left the restaurant, preparing to go back and change into a new skirt.
Yu Wanqing had just woken up and yawned as she went down to have breakfast when she saw Nie Jinxi hurriedly leaving the restaurant. She asked with a puzzled look on her face, "Why are you in such a hurry? Hasn't the engagement ceremony started yet?"
Lin Anqi shrugged and said to Wanqing jokingly, "Sister Wanqing, you probably don't know that someone thought their exquisite makeup could outshine the real person, and now they feel hit and are planning to go back and clean up again!"
Yu Wanqing frowned slightly and said unhappily, "What are you doing? Today is A Yao and Master Li Jiu's engagement ceremony. As a respectable guest, you shouldn't dress so brightly that you outdo the host..."
"That's right!" Lin Anqi nodded in agreement and said with a smile, "That Nie Jinxi really thinks she's here to shine. She doesn't even consider the occasion!"
"I'll go up to see her after breakfast!" Yu Wanqing said this, then looked at Lin Anqi and coldly reminded her, "Change into a new skirt when you go up later!"
"Sister Wanqing, what's wrong with my dress?" Lin Anqi's expression changed, and she asked unconvincedly, "I'm not trying to surpass Nie Yao..."
"Look at your dress. It's embroidered with gold thread and inlaid with diamonds. Isn't it too eye-catching?"
Yu Wanqing was unceremonious in the face of Lin Anqi's overtures. She said coldly, "Nie Jinxi is like this, so you should also observe basic etiquette. You are all members of the Nie family, and you can't let others see you as a laughing stock!"
"Okay..." Lin Anqi has always been a little afraid of this cousin of the Yu family. Although she was unwilling in her heart, she could only nod in agreement obediently.
After a quick breakfast, Wanqing went upstairs to Lin Anqi and Nie Jinxi's guest room, watching them choose clothes, forbidding them from being too flashy and overshadowing Nie Yao, making the Nie family look less refined...
The rest of the Nie family also got up and had breakfast. Looking at the bustling atmosphere of the manor, Nie Guanglin, the second oldest of the Nie family, curled his lips and muttered quietly, "The engagement wasn't conducted according to our rules, yet now they're making such a big fuss. I really don't understand..."
"Since the engagement was requested by the Li family, of course we have to follow the Li family's rules..." Father Nie said in a light tone. Looking at the busy crowd, he felt quite relieved.
Although the engagement did not follow the old rules, which made him a little worried, he was relieved now. At least it could be seen that Master Li Jiu was very attentive to his daughter Nie Yao, otherwise an engagement would not have to be so grand!
