Chapter 637: No Loss
"Nie Yao, what do you want to do?" Nie Jinxi was a little frightened when she saw her aggressive approach, and stammered, "This is a dance at the dinner party, you, you..."
Without waiting for her to finish, Nie Yao swung her arm, pulled the two people dancing apart, and then slapped Nie Jinxi on the right cheek.
"Ah—" Nie Jinxi screamed, covering her burning cheek. Furious and annoyed, she waited for Nie Yao and asked in disbelief, "Nie Yao, are you crazy? You actually slapped me in public?"
Nie Jinxi's scream instantly alarmed all the guests at the party. Everyone who was dancing looked in the direction of the sound in surprise, and found that Nie Jinxi, who had been ridiculed by them before, had returned to the party, covering her cheek and confronting Nie Yao.
Li Jinxing and Yu Wanqing were dancing, but when they heard the noise, Yu Wanqing was startled. She didn't dare to continue dancing, so she whispered to Li Jinxing, "Master Li Jiu, should we go over and take a look too?"
Li Jinxing responded softly, walked a few steps closer to Yu Wanqing, but stopped.
"Mr. Li Jiu, aren't you going to help A Yao?" Yu Wanqing asked doubtfully.
Li Jinxing shook his head and said with a faint smile: "Yaoyao will not suffer any loss..."
The tone was very firm.
Seeing this, Yu Wanqing could only helplessly stay by Li Jinxing's side, watching Nie Jinxi and Nie Yao confront each other, wondering what the two were arguing about.
Based on her understanding of Nie Yao, if Nie Jinxi hadn't deliberately provoked her, Nie Yao would never have made such a big fuss!
No one knew what had provoked Nie Jinxi. Upon arriving at Li Garden, she first argued with Lin Anqi and ended up fighting. Now, she was openly provoking A Yao in front of all the guests...
Does Nie Jinxi know that the protagonists of today's banquet are Master Li Jiu and A Yao?
Just as Yu Wanqing was silently complaining, Nie Guanglin, the second son of the Nie family, heard the commotion among the guests. He didn't care about his wife beside him and hurriedly pushed through the crowd to get closer. When he saw Nie Jinxi covering her cheek and accusing Nie Yao, as if she had been slapped by Nie Yao, his face suddenly darkened.
He was about to walk through the crowd when he was stopped by Li Jinxing.
"Mr. Li Jiu, what do you mean by this?" Nie Guanglin asked unhappily.
Li Jinxing's lips curled slightly, and he replied with a half-smile: "You are the elder. The disputes between the younger generations should be resolved by them themselves. As an elder, are you planning to take sides?"
"I—" Nie Guanglin was choked by Li Jinxing's words. He opened his mouth but couldn't answer. He could only stammer, "After all, this is your banquet, Master Li Jiu. With so many guests here, it wouldn't be good to make a big scene..."
"I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of?" Li Jinxing raised his eyebrows and asked back.
This sentence instantly stopped Nie Guanglin from trying to stop the fight. Nie Guanglin's wife Cui Zhen also came forward and whispered a reminder: "Okay, take a look at what's going on first..."
Nie Guanglin could only stand there helplessly, his brows furrowed secretly, staring at Nie Jinxi and Nie Yao who were still arguing, wanting to see what had happened between them.
"Nie Yao, you dare to slap me, I..." Nie Jinxi said this with gritted teeth, raised her arm, and also wanted to slap Nie Yao back.
"Oh no, she's going to hit A Yao too—" Yu Wanqing was afraid that Nie Yao would suffer, so she frowned worriedly.
