Chapter 67: Testing
Nie Jinxi didn't hide. Instead, she raised her head and looked at Lin Anqi coldly, and hit back without any hesitation: "Lin Anqi, you are just a stepdaughter, and you dare to fight me? Do you think your grandfather doesn't exist?"
"Hmph, I at least have a name, but you, relying on Grandpa's favor..." Lin Anqi was worried that Nie Jinxi would complain to Old Nie, so she could only put her hand down in frustration and muttered unconvincedly, "Who knows if you're a bastard, occupying the position of the eldest grandson's daughter for so many years..."
Nie Jinxi's expression changed instantly. She stared at Lin Anqi intently and said in a deep voice, "Lin Anqi, if you dare say another word of nonsense, don't blame me for being rude!"
Lin Anqi was about to say something, but when she saw Nie Jinxi's face suddenly darken, she shuddered. This was the first time she saw Nie Jinxi with such a terrifying expression.
"Tsk, are you afraid that I'll hurt you?" Lin Anqi curled her lips, turned around and left.
Nie Jinxi took a deep breath and stared at Lin Anqi's departing figure with a stern gaze. After a long while, she finally calmed down and picked up her phone to dial a number: "Hello, it's me. My plans have changed. Please help me solve one thing first..."

Meihuawu Restaurant.
Li Jinxing brought Nie Yao to this unique restaurant, and they even had to row a boat to the private room, which inevitably surprised Nie Yao.
"This restaurant is quite unique..." Nie Yao exclaimed with a smile, sitting in a private room made entirely of logs, holding a teacup in front of her.
"You don't like it?" Li Jinxing asked with a smile.
"No, it's just that I thought you usually liked to go to those Michelin three-star restaurants!" Nie Yao shrugged, picked up the teacup and took a sip. She felt that the tea seemed to have a faint floral fragrance, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
"Although this place hasn't been rated, it's not bad..." Li Jinxing smiled faintly and said nonchalantly, "When it comes to food and wine, I prefer to evaluate it myself!"
"Perhaps everyone has their own criteria for judging..." Nie Yao played with the teacup in her hand while looking outside the box: "Didn't you say that Director Chen was coming too? Didn't you deliberately coax me into rejecting Lu Yiyu?"
"Don't worry, he's still on his way!" Li Jinxing shook his head and smiled faintly. He picked up a plum in front of him and put it in his mouth. He asked thoughtfully, "If I hadn't come to find you just now, would you have agreed to have dinner with him?"
"I thought you left after listening to my speech..." Nie Yao did not answer his question directly.
"I made time for it and listened to your entire speech. How could I leave early?" Li Jinxing curled the corners of his lips slightly and looked straight into the depths of her eyes.
"You haven't answered me yet. If I hadn't refused for you, would you have agreed to have dinner with him?"
"Li Jinxing, how do you want me to answer?" Nie Yao asked back with a smile, supporting her chin with one hand.
"I hope you can clearly reject his invitation!" Li Jinxing said in a deep voice.
"Why?" Nie Yao turned her head and raised her eyebrows and asked back.
Li Jinxing looked at her deeply for a moment before looking away and saying calmly, "Nie Yao, you know the answer, don't you?"
Nie Yao was amused by his words. She picked up the teacup and took a sip. Looking at the tea leaves floating on the cup, she whispered, "How would I know if you don't tell me?"
