Chapter 613 Absent-minded
Only when Nie Jinxi's embarrassed look disappeared did the guests withdraw their gazes and resume their discussions...
Not far away, Nie Guanglin, the second son of the Nie family, who was also trying to curry favor with several business tycoons, looked at Nie Jinxi several times, unable to hide his frown, and wanted to go up and say a few words of concern.
Because he was talking absentmindedly, the business leaders were too lazy to pay attention to him and left with their glasses of wine.
"What's wrong with you? Didn't you want to take this opportunity to talk about business? Why do you look so absent-minded?" Cui Zhen, the wife of the second son of the Nie family, asked unhappily when she saw her husband looking absent-minded.
Nie Guanglin frowned slightly and said in a low voice: "Forget it, they didn't want to bother with me anyway. I saw Jinxi just came back from outside. I don't know what happened, but she is so embarrassed..."
"She just got caught in the rain. Who told her to be disobedient and wander around by herself?" Cui Zhen snorted coldly and muttered softly, "She's really brought shame to the Nie family!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Does she want to get wet in the rain?" Nie Guanglin glared at his wife, his face darkened, and asked coldly.
"Am I wrong? Look at Lin Anqi, and Yu Wanqing from the Yu family. Even our Xiao'er knows that this is the Li family's territory and they can't run around. But she actually treats this place as her own home!"
Cui Zhen curled her lips into a cold smile, raised an eyebrow and looked at her husband, then asked thoughtfully, "Guanglin, you're really weird. Our son finally came back, but you didn't show any concern. Instead, you're so worried about Nie Jinxi getting caught in the rain. What do you mean?"
"I..." Nie Guanglin felt guilty when his wife asked him this. His expression changed and he said angrily, "She represents the image of the Nie family after all. I can't let her make a fool of herself in front of everyone! Forget it, I don't want to talk to a woman like you anymore!"
Nie Guanglin snorted coldly, holding the wine glass and leaving his wife's side: "I'm going to find someone else to continue the discussion..."
Seeing that his wife did not catch up, Nie Guanglin finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, and found an opportunity to secretly leave the banquet.
Lin Anqi, who was standing next to Nie Yao, wanted to continue watching Nie Jinxi make a fool of herself, so she didn't plan to stay at the banquet and prepared to go upstairs to take a look.
Seeing this, Nie Yao stopped Lin Anqi and asked in a deep voice, "What are you going to do?"
"I..." Before Lin Anqi could answer, Nie Yao pointed out her intention with amusement: "Do you still want to see Nie Jinxi make a fool of herself?"
"She deserves to be embarrassed like this..." Lin Anqi shrugged and snorted coldly.
"No matter whether she deserves it or not, if you go over there now, you'll just be adding fuel to the fire. Do you still want to have a fight here?"
Nie Yao's face darkened slightly as she spoke in a cold warning, "Lin Anqi, don't think I didn't know you and Nie Jinxi were making a scene in the front hall earlier. Now that the guests are all here, you and Nie Jinxi are not allowed to cause any trouble, or I'll have you both kicked out!"
Lin Anqi finally gave up the idea, curled her lips and whispered, "I promise I won't make trouble anymore..."
When she said this, she thought of Nie Jinxi's embarrassed look and laughed to herself: "Anyway, Nie Jinxi wanted to compete with others today, but all her plans have gone to waste. Hahaha, I'm in a very good mood..."
Lin Anqi enjoyed herself for a while, then turned and left humming a song.
