Chapter 624: Winning Back a Round
When Nie Jinxi said this, her voice couldn't help but rise a few notches, and even had a bit of a tearful tone.
She was not afraid of being heard by other guests. She had just lost so much face, and now was the best time to make up for it and let everyone see who had made her look so miserable!
Sure enough, after Nie Jinxi finished saying this, the guests who were originally chatting on the side also looked sideways, looked at them curiously, and started talking in low voices.
Yu Wanqing's face darkened, and she angrily scolded, "Nie Jinxi, what are you talking about? Ah Yao didn't do anything. You just got caught in the heavy rain, and she doesn't even know..."
"Sister Wanqing, I know you're thinking about Sister Nie Yao, but I want to hear her explain to me in person why she keeps targeting me."
Nie Jinxi looked at Nie Yao, clutching her chest and saying, "Is it because, sister, you've been living away from home for over a decade, and you're jealous of me staying in the Nie family, thinking I've taken your place, that after you came back you're jealous of me and always want to kick me out?"
Nie Yao originally didn't want to bother with Nie Jinxi in front of everyone, but when she saw her pretending to be pitiful again, she shook her head and asked in amusement, "Nie Jinxi, I'm surprised you said that! We are both members of the Nie family, why should I chase you away?"
Without waiting for Nie Jinxi to answer, Nie Yao raised an eyebrow and added, "Today, Li Jinxing and I are getting engaged. All the Nie family members are present, including you. If I really wanted to kick you out of the Nie family, why would I bother asking you to attend my engagement ceremony?"
After Nie Yao finished speaking, the people who were listening nearby nodded in agreement.
"I think what Nie Yao said is right. If she hated Nie Jinxi, she wouldn't have let Nie Jinxi attend the engagement ceremony..."
"That's right. Nie Yao is so graceful and generous. But this Nie Jinxi made a fool of herself and blamed her sister. It's really funny..."
"I think Nie Jinxi is just jealous. She was raised in the Nie family, but her sister, who was raised outside and only came back later, married Master Li Jiu..."
Nie Jinxi heard everyone's discussion clearly and her face looked a little ugly.
I didn't expect that Nie Yao's acting skills are now comparable to mine. She even pretended to have a close sisterly relationship with her in front of other people!
Nie Jinxi didn't want to lose the chance to win back the game. She smiled wryly and shook her head at Nie Yao's question, retorting, "Sister, I came here with all my heart to wish you well. But I never imagined you'd ask me to attend your engagement just to teach me a lesson and embarrass me in front of everyone!"
When she said this, she pointed at her flat shoes, her voice trembling slightly. "You asked the housekeeper to take me on a tour of the manor, and I got lost on foot. No one paid any attention to me, and no one came to pick me up. God knows how much my feet suffered, and then we got caught in a heavy rain..."
Nie Jinxi said this with a wry smile, then asked Nie Yao, "Sister, if Dad and the others hadn't insisted on sending someone to look for me, would you have just left me alone in the open air at the manor?"
After Nie Jinxi finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but look at her flat shoes. Seeing that her bare ankles were covered with several band-aids, they couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.
There were even female guests who sighed softly, "It seems Nie Jinxi is in such a bad state, her feet are all broken..."
