Chapter 975 Counterattack
After she finished speaking, she stood up and said to Li Jinxing with a smile, "Master Li Jiu, I came here specially today. Won't you treat me to dinner?"
Li Jinxing smiled faintly and calmly rejected her proposal, saying, "Once this deal is done, I will hold a celebration banquet and treat you to a good meal!"
"Really..." The woman raised an eyebrow, pointed at Nie Yao and joked, "I thought Master Li Jiu didn't dare to treat me to dinner because of his fiancée's arrival!"
Nie Yao frowned slightly. This woman knew that she was Li Jinxing's fiancée, yet she said this to her face, as if she was mocking Li Jinxing's henpecked husband...
It also seemed to be implying that there was something unusual between her and Li Jinxing, so she had to avoid her fiancée!
Nie Yao felt somewhat unhappy with this woman and couldn't help but say, "Excuse me, if you and my fiancé are business partners, then it shouldn't make much difference whether we invite you to dinner earlier or later... If we're just friends, then I won't interfere with this dinner. I wonder if you think I'm too narrow-minded, or if you think our Li Jinxing has found a tigress and doesn't even have the freedom to eat?"
Nie Yao's words were so blunt that the woman's smile froze. After a long moment, she smiled bitterly and said, "I was just joking..."
After she finished speaking, she sighed to Li Jinxing, "Master Li Jiu, this guy in your family has a really good mouth!"
Li Jinxing smiled slightly, looking at Nie Yao with a hint of pride: "Of course, my fiancée is a top scholar in the field of archaeology. If you have time, you can watch her speech, it's very exciting!"
He did not hesitate to brag about Nie Yao in front of outsiders, which made Nie Yao feel a little embarrassed.
"People like us don't understand archaeology, but Master Li Jiu was single before, and now he's suddenly engaged to Miss Nie. I guess Miss Nie must be quite special!"
The woman looked at Nie Yao deeply again, said these words with a smile, then stood up and shook hands with Li Jinxing to say goodbye.
"I'll take a look at the information and contact you when the time comes!"
After she said this, she did not forget to throw a coquettish glance at Li Jinxing and said with a smile: "Don't forget, you still owe me a meal!"
The woman swayed as she left Li Jinxing's CEO office. Nie Yao stared at her, lost in thought, until Li Jinxing put his arm around her shoulders and said with a smile, "Yaoyao, come back to your senses..."
Nie Yao then withdrew her gaze. Li Jinxing was afraid that she had misunderstood something, so he quickly explained with a wry smile: "Yaoyao, don't get me wrong. This woman and I only have business dealings, not personal relationships!"
"She looks familiar. Have I seen her somewhere?" Nie Yao asked thoughtfully.
"Of course, when you went to the neighboring city to meet Xia Chuqi before, didn't you see her in Xia Chuqi's club?"
Li Jinxing nodded slightly and reminded with a smile: "She and I have known each other for quite a while, so she can be considered a relatively familiar partner!"
After hearing Li Jinxing's reminder, Nie Yao suddenly remembered that when she went to the neighboring city to look for Xia Chuqi, she did run into Li Jinxing in the clubhouse and they were discussing business. That woman had looked at her with some hostility...
