Chapter 635 Who is more dedicated
"It's hard to explain in a few words..." Nie Yao sighed softly, without going into details about what happened before.
Nie Xiao had also vaguely heard something from his mother. He shrugged and sneered, "I know. Those two crazy women, Nie Jinxi and Lin Anqi, will definitely disturb your peace!"
Nie Yao was amused by his analogy. She raised an eyebrow but didn't deny it. She whispered, "But speaking of Lin Anqi, I don't think I saw her just now. What about you?"
"No, Nie Jinxi was standing nearby and didn't see Lin Anqi!" Nie Xiao shook his head and answered affirmatively.
"That's strange. Lin Anqi loves to be in the spotlight. How could she be absent from an occasion like this?" Nie Yao frowned slightly and muttered doubtfully, "Just now, when I was with my cousin, I saw that she looked flustered and hesitant. I don't know what happened..."
Not only did Lin Anqi not see it, but Lin Anqi's mother didn't seem to show up either. No one knew what happened to the mother and daughter, and why they suddenly didn't show up at the evening party?
"I'll ask her when I get a chance!" Nie Xiao frowned slightly upon hearing this and whispered, "It just so happens that I have something else to confirm with her!"
Nie Yao knew he was probably talking about the drugging, so she nodded in understanding and said nothing more...
Since Lin Anqi dared to tell Nie Xiao, it is very likely that Nie Xiao was also drugged by Nie Jinxi back then. Perhaps Lin Anqi has obtained some new evidence!
The two of them were dancing and chatting, and they didn't notice that a new pair of people were dancing next to them until Nie Jinxi's voice reached their ears.
"Sister, why did you let Nie Xiao be your dance partner?"
Nie Yao and Nie Xiao looked over and saw Nie Jinxi dancing with a male guest as they approached them.
Nie Jinxi glanced mockingly at Nie Yao and Nie Xiao at this point, then chuckled softly, "Sister, can't find a dance partner, so you've dragged your own brother along?"
Nie Yao wasn't annoyed. She just glanced at the flat shoes she was wearing and said with a half-smile, "Your foot injury is healing quickly..."
Without waiting for Nie Jinxi to reply, Nie Xiao also took over Nie Yao's words and sneered, "Yes, just now you were telling everyone how terrible your legs were. People who didn't know would think you couldn't walk. Now you can actually dance. Even the most skilled doctor doesn't have such amazing medical skills!"
Nie Jinxi's expression changed slightly. She felt a little embarrassed by the back-and-forth of their sister-brother relationship, and replied angrily, "Who said that if you're injured, you can't dance?"
God knows she was enduring the pain while dancing, because she had dressed up so carefully and couldn't miss such a social occasion, right?
This was a banquet held in Li Garden. The wealthy and powerful people who came to the Nie family's usual banquets were not as high-ranking as today's.
"I can see that you are very dedicated!" Nie Yao joked with amusement.
Nie Jinxi sneered noncommittally, thinking Nie Yao was mocking her for wanting to befriend the rich and powerful. She said in a gloomy tone, "When it comes to professionalism, I'm still no match for my sister!"
When she said this, she subconsciously looked at Nie Yao's abdomen and sighed, "I don't know why my sister dares to dance in high heels even though she's pregnant. Aren't you afraid of dropping your baby?"
"Nie Jinxi, what are you talking about?" Nie Yao thought she had misheard and asked with a frown, "What treasure?"
