Chapter 78: Grand Scene
Jiangnan Cultural Palace.
When Nie Yao and Assistant Mei arrived at the charity auction in the car sent by Nie's father, Nie Yao discovered that the scene was far more grand than she had imagined.
Not only was a red carpet laid out at the door, but a lot of media also came.
Nie Yao got out of the car with the help of Assistant Mei. She was wearing a champagne-colored custom-made dress, which had already attracted the attention of many media.
Many sharp-eyed media noticed Nie Yao's face and recognized her as the eldest granddaughter who the Nie family had just found. They quickly picked up their cameras and took a lot of photos of her.
"This daughter of the Nie family, was she really just found? She looks very elegant, beautiful, and has a good figure..."
"It shouldn't be fake news. I heard that the Nie family held a welcome banquet for her some time ago. It can be seen that the Nie family attaches great importance to her.
she……"
"Maybe it's a form of compensation. After all, she hasn't been raised in the Nie family for so many years. But I think she's no less capable than those daughters of famous families..."
The reporters took pictures of her and talked in low voices.
Nie Yao listened, shook her head and laughed. It didn't matter whether it was compensation or not. It was just that this charity auction looked so grand, and her grandfather and father asked her to represent the Nie family. It seemed that they really wanted her to take on the title of the eldest daughter of the Nie family!
After Nie Yao presented the invitation letter, she was led by a special person and sat down with Assistant Mei.
Nie Yao hardly knew many of the celebrities and businessmen present. Even if someone recognized her and came up to greet her, Nie Yao would just politely nod and smile in response.
The auction hadn't officially started yet, and people were everywhere toasting and chatting. Nie Yao just sat quietly in her seat, completely out of tune with the surrounding hustle and bustle.
Ji Minghuan, who was socializing with someone not far away, noticed Nie Yao the moment she came in. However, this time, the person following her was obviously an assistant from Nie's father, while Li Jinxing was nowhere to be seen!
Ji Minghuan curled the corners of his lips slightly, then responded with a few words and walked up to Nie Yao.
"Generally speaking, guests at charity dinners like this don't drink lemon juice..." Ji Minghuan said this while looking at the lemon juice in her hand.
Nie Yao looked up at Ji Minghuan, finding his opening remarks somewhat ridiculous. Raising an eyebrow, she asked, "I'm not sure what the rules are regarding drinking at a charity auction."
"It doesn't matter if you don't know anything since this is your first time..." Ji Minghuan said with a faint smile, as if he was willing to sit down and have a good chat with her.
But Nie Yao didn't ask him to sit down. Instead, she said calmly, "This is my first time attending this event, but I didn't make this lemonade out of thin air. Isn't it what this charity party uses to entertain guests?"
Ji Minghuan was speechless for a moment. He could only glance at Assistant Mei beside Nie Yao and asked thoughtfully, "Why didn't I see Master Li Jiu today? You have such a good relationship with him. Wouldn't he accompany you to such an important event?"
The words seemed to show concern, but they also contained a hint of sarcasm.
He always remembered that Nie Yao had rejected him twice for Li Jinxing. He would never forget this slap in the face!
"He has his own things to do, why does he have to accompany me to this charity auction?" Nie Yao asked back with a smile.
