Chapter 590: Low Rank
Li Yaofeng raised the corner of his lips slightly, and asked with a smile: "So what if you know?"
"..." Nie Jinxi was stunned. Meeting his deep gaze, she didn't know how to respond for a moment.
This eldest brother of the Li family doesn't seem to play by the rules. Shouldn't he politely explain that he doesn't like to show up in public? Why is he asking her instead?
Nie Jinxi's expression froze for a moment before a hint of smile appeared on her face again. She said, "I just feel it's a pity. It's my honor to have met someone like Mr. Li earlier..."
She paused here, then continued, "It's a pity that my sister didn't mention you to us when she was dating Mr. Li Jiu before. It really made us suffer..."
She wasn't sure whether Nie Yao didn't know about the existence of the eldest brother of the Li family, or was deliberately hiding it from her...
But now it seems that there is a high possibility that he deliberately concealed it from me. After all, Nie Yao definitely does not want her to have any chance to get close to the eldest brother of the Li family!
Li Yaofeng could see the intention behind Nie Jinxi's words and sneered in his heart.
I thought this woman was very skilled, but now it seems her scheming is just superficial!
"Miss Nie, you're wrong. I don't like socializing. If Jinxing and Nie Yao weren't getting engaged today, I wouldn't show up in front of everyone!"
He paused here, then added with a smile, "Just like Miss Nie, if she hadn't come to the engagement ceremony with the Nie family members today, she definitely wouldn't have appeared in Li Garden!"
The smile on Nie Jinxi's face froze again. Although the eldest brother of the Li family spoke in a calm tone, his meaning was very clear.
It was thanks to Nie Yao that she, Nie Jinxi, was qualified to step into Li Garden and meet other members of the Li family!
Otherwise, with her status and position, it would be impossible for her to have any interaction with the Li family, let alone know the eldest brother of the Li family?
Nie Jinxi subconsciously clenched the red wine glass in her hand, and envy and jealousy continued to surge in her heart.
Why was Nie Yao able to marry Master Li Jiu and hold their wedding in such a large manor, while she had to rely on Nie Yao's influence to be eligible to come in as a guest?!
Although she was jealous, Nie Jinxi did not dare to show it too obviously in front of the eldest brother of the Li family. She just chuckled and resolved the embarrassment herself.
"Mr. Li's words are really interesting. Of course, I wouldn't show up in Li Garden for no reason..."
Nie Jinxi smiled as she spoke, "Just like my sister Nie Yao, if she hadn't been engaged to Master Li Jiu, there wouldn't be an engagement ceremony at Li Garden right now, right?"
The eldest brother of the Li family hinted that she was not qualified to step into the Li family, but Nie Yao only got the position by climbing into Li Jinxing's bed, so it was hard to say who was more qualified!
When Li Yaofeng heard her retort, he couldn't help but look up at her, his eyebrows slightly raised, and he said with a smile: "What you said does make some sense..."
Nie Jinxi was delighted and continued to add, "After all, our Nie family and the Ji family had a marriage agreement. As the eldest daughter of the Nie family, if my sister hadn't ruined her engagement with Ji Minghuan for Master Li Jiu, she wouldn't be here. Mr. Li, don't you agree?"
Li Yaofeng frowned slightly and asked thoughtfully, "You said... Nie Yao had a marriage partner before?"
Li Jinxing had never told me about this matter...
