Chapter 976 Why Should I Care
"So it was her..." Nie Yao said with sudden realization.
Earlier, at Xia Chuqi's club, she had first met her business partner, Li Jinxing. His name seemed to be Hou Jia...
Xia Chuqi also mentioned it to her later, saying that this woman named Hou Jia came from a good family and, most importantly, had strong personal abilities. She took over the position of director of the family group at a young age, completed the merger and acquisition of several family-owned companies, and quickly revitalized the family business that had been somewhat declining.
Because Hou Jia, who is beautiful and capable, has always had a high opinion of herself, many rich second-generation men who pursue her look down on her. She is also very close to Li Jinxing, and many people even think that they are a good match and will end up together...
This was also the main reason why Hou Jia felt hostile towards her when he first met her, because Hou Jia completely regarded her as a woman who was trying to curry favor with a rich and powerful man!
"Yaoyao, I don't have much of a personal relationship with her. We only have business dealings. If you don't believe me, you can ask Li Qin. Sometimes, he helps me negotiate with Hou Jia!"
Seeing that Nie Yao didn't say anything, Li Jinxing thought she was angry about Hou Jia's attitude just now, so he hurriedly explained to Nie Yao helplessly.
Li Qin saw Master Li Jiu's pleading look and followed his words, nodding and saying with a smile, "Yes, Master Jiu is right. I've been in contact with him many times, but Master Jiu has never had a private meal with Director Hou..."
Nie Yao burst out laughing and raised an eyebrow, asking, "Li Jinxing, why are you so nervous? Even if you had dinner with her, can't it just be a normal interaction between friends? I won't get suspicious..."
"Yaoyao, do you really not care?" Li Jinxing was a little surprised when he heard her say that, and asked hesitantly.
"Why should I care? Not to mention that you manage such a large company, and you have many friends coming over and socializing, do I have to care about every single one of them?"
Nie Yao asked back with amusement, but Li Jinxing did not feel relieved by her words. Instead, his brows furrowed slightly.
"Yaoyao, you don't care..." Li Jinxing sighed softly, holding her hand and said with some distress: "Why am I even more worried?"
Nie Yao couldn't help laughing, shook her head and sighed, "Li Jinxing, if you want to see me jealous, or make trouble with you, or force you to explain, then I'm afraid you will be disappointed..."
At this point, she jokingly asked back, "And I guess you don't want a partner who cries, makes a fuss, or even threatens to commit suicide all the time, right?"
Li Jinxing quickly waved his hand in decline. He simply couldn't imagine such a scene.
"Yaoyao, I know you are a smart and calm woman..." Li Jinxing said with some relief, and then sighed softly: "It's just that you are too calm. Sometimes I always worry that you don't care about me that much..."
"Li Jinxing, you're being rather heartless!" Nie Yao deliberately frowned and glared at him unhappily. "If I didn't care about you, do you think I would wear the diamond ring you gave me and become your fiancée? If I didn't care about you, would I have deliberately sent you away in Egypt? If I didn't care about you, would I have taken the initiative to help you drink water to test for poison?"
After she said this, she pushed Li Jinxing's hand away angrily and turned to leave, but was held tightly by Li Jinxing.
