Chapter 79 A malicious reminder
She had originally come to represent the Nie family, and it was also for charity. Li Jinxing had no need or reason to accompany her...
What's more, he always came and went without a trace these days. She was asleep when he came back at night, and she was still asleep when he left in the morning!
If she hadn't seen the traces of his use on the kitchen utensils, she would have almost thought that he hadn't returned to the apartment recently!
Because of this, she had no chance at all to question Li Jinxing about the origins of those sketches!
Nie Yao curled her lips when she thought of this, and Ji Minghuan noticed the subtle change in her expression.
A barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he pretended to be concerned and said, "Really? I thought he would come to accompany you. After all, he even donated a priceless antique to support this charity auction..."
Nie Yao was slightly stunned. She had never heard Li Jinxing talk about this matter, but she came to attend today's charity auction on behalf of the Nie family and did not tell Li Jinxing!
After all, although they lived together, they were not familiar enough to report their whereabouts to each other!
Seeing the surprise on Nie Yao's face, Ji Minghuan's smile widened, and he sighed softly, "It seems he didn't tell you! Ah Yao, you just came back, and there are some rules in the circle that you don't understand. People like Li Jiuye are always surrounded by beautiful women. Even if he changes his female companion every time, no one will be surprised. You'd better not hold your hopes too high..."
Before he could finish, Nie Yao interrupted him with a sneer.
"Ji Minghuan, you seem to have misunderstood something. He and I are friends, and the relationship between us isn't as bad as you think!"
When Ji Minghuan heard her say this, he just shrugged and chuckled, saying, "That would be great. Once, a rich girl wanted to pursue him and even drugged him, but he humiliated her so badly that she was forced to leave the city in disgrace..."
When he said this, he looked deeply at Nie Yao, lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Don't hold too high hopes for Master Li Jiu, lest you lose face and can't stay in the circle. Don't blame me for not warning you then!"
Nie Yao turned her head away in disgust, avoiding his approach, and replied coldly, "You don't need to be so kind, Ji Minghuan. I don't need irrelevant people to remind or comment on what's going on between him and me!"
Ji Minghuan was irritated by her words "irrelevant person" and wanted to lose his temper, but seeing her indifferent look and slightly raised chin, a dark light flashed in his eyes.
One has to admit that not long after returning to the Nie family, she transformed from an ugly duckling into a dazzling figure among the daughters of wealthy families...
She did not try to please him like Nie Jinxi or other rich girls, and she even acted aloof in front of him. He was even impatient to see the moment when she bowed her head in front of him!
When Ji Minghuan thought of this, his annoyance instantly disappeared. He smiled faintly at her and said, "I just mean well. I hope you have a good time at the auction later!"
Nie Yao snorted noncommittally. After Ji Minghuan left her table, she took a big sip of the lemon juice and said angrily, "This guy really speaks in a sarcastic way..."
Assistant Mei, who had been silent the entire time, whispered, "Ms. Nie, this Mr. Ji is the son of the president of the local Chamber of Commerce. It would be best for our Nie family to avoid offending him as much as possible..."
