Chapter 918: Collapse
Ji Minghuan's face darkened instantly, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes. He coldly questioned, "Well, Nie Jinxi, you're trying to shirk your responsibility now? What did you promise me back then? Don't forget, you were the one who found the wine cellar and asked for my help. Now you're not in a hurry anymore..."
Nie Jinxi also heard Ji Minghuan's annoyance, chuckled, and quickly explained: "Minghuan, that's not what I meant. I just think that since Nie Yao's matter has failed, we should slow down for now to avoid revealing too much!"
She paused, then added with a smile, "You said it yourself, I came to you personally, so how could I not be anxious? But now, being anxious won't solve the problem. Isn't Nie Yao still in the hospital and doing well?"
Ji Minghuan had caught the hidden meaning in her words and was clearly quite dissatisfied with Nie Yao's survival. He sneered and asked, "Nie Jinxi, are you challenging me over Nie Yao's matter? Do you think I'm deliberately letting her win?"
"Whether it is or not, only Minghuan you know..." Nie Jinxi shrugged and sighed softly.
"You—" Ji Minghuan choked with anger, then bluntly reminded him, "Nie Jinxi, don't worry about Nie Xiao. I know what you're thinking. You don't want to offend your biological father!"
He said this with a sinister smile on his lips: "But don't forget, Nie Xiao was sent abroad because of something he did that angered his father and grandfather. Now that he's back, do you think you can escape?"
Nie Jinxi's face turned pale after hearing these words. Of course she knew what happened back then, but so many years had passed, who could find evidence?
not to mention……
Nie Jinxi had visited Nie Yao during the day, but was driven out by Mr. Li Jiu. In addition, she was humiliated in public by Yu Wanqing, so she was angry. Now, when she heard what Ji Minghuan said, her face couldn't help but turn cold.
"Ming Huan, if you say so, then we're both in the same boat... Back then, you were Nie Xiao's good brother. You arranged the trip and got him the wine, and I was at home at the time. If this matter were to come to light, who would be the real culprit?"
Nie Jinxi sneered and reminded Ji Minghuan. Ji Minghuan stood up angrily and shouted, "Okay, Nie Jinxi, are you going to settle accounts with me now? I'm telling you, I'm not afraid of offending the Nie family, but you're different! Without the Nie family, you're nothing!"
Ji Minghuan's words reminded Nie Jinxi of the day when Yu Wanqing had pointed at her nose and mocked her. The snickering faces of the people around her kept resurfacing in her mind...
She had finally had enough of the ridicule from these self-proclaimed wealthy families. For a moment, she no longer wanted to curry favor with Ji Minghuan. She sat up straight and sneered, "Mr. Ji, you are Chairman Ji's son. Of course you are not afraid of offending the Nie family! However, don't forget that the Nie family still has a backer, Master Li Jiu. Do you really think that your Ji family can offend Master Li Jiu?"
Ji Minghuan was speechless after hearing this. He could only yell at Nie Jinxi, "Just wait and see," and then hung up the phone angrily.
When Nie Jinxi heard the beeping sound on the other end of the phone, her heart began to beat wildly.
This was the first time she said something harsh to Ji Minghuan. After saying it, although she was a little scared, she also felt very happy!
