Chapter 612: Shameful
"We're a family, so of course I care about you..." Lin Anqi shrugged and replied jokingly, "You're in such a miserable state! If someone didn't know you, they'd think you were out farming!"
Lin Anqi's repeated exclamations attracted the attention of all the guests. They looked at her as if they were looking at animals in a zoo, and then laughed softly.
"Where did she go? She's in such a mess..."
"I think he went out and got caught in the rain. What bad luck! How could he have been caught in such a downpour?"
"Who knows? The weather is so unpredictable. If she keeps wandering around outside, won't she get soaked to the skin?"
"You said they were both daughters of the Nie family, but why are they so different? One was clearly raised outside and brought home, yet she's grown up to be so graceful and elegant, while the other grew up in a wealthy family, yet she's so unpresentable and even acted so awkwardly at such an important occasion. It's so embarrassing..."
"That's right! If I were a member of the Nie family, I would take Nie Jinxi back home and stop her from embarrassing herself..."
Although the voices were not loud, Nie Jinxi heard them all. She subconsciously clenched her hands holding her high heels. She felt the raindrops on her hair falling down instantly, like small knives stabbing into her heart.
"Jinxi—" Father Nie felt distressed when he saw Nie Jinxi's miserable appearance. He quickly stepped forward and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
As he spoke, he looked coldly at the male servant next to him and asked in a deep voice, "Don't you have any towels?"
The butler hurried to get a towel, and another butler brought over a large white towel in time.
Father Nie quickly grabbed a towel and wrapped Nie Jinxi in it, whispering, "Jinxi, you're soaking wet. Go back to your room and take a hot shower, or you'll catch a cold!"
Nie Jinxi responded softly, not daring to raise her head for fear of meeting the mocking gazes of the crowd. However, she couldn't help but subconsciously look at Nie Yao. She was wearing a pink long dress, which made her look even more graceful and exquisite.
Nie Yao just stood in front of her, holding a tall glass in her hand, looking at her indifferently, as if she was looking at a jumping clown!
Nie Jinxi clenched her palms again.
Damn it, she looked so miserable now, and yet Nie Yao looked so radiant, as if her and Nie Yao's lives had suddenly been reversed...
It is obvious that before, Nie Yao was not recognized by the Nie family. She should have been such a glamorous daughter, sought after by everyone, and pursued by the sons of wealthy families!
If Nie Yao hadn't come back, she would still be out there in some wilderness, wearing a worn work suit, her face covered in dust.
And she, holding a wine glass, got engaged to a big shot of the same status as Mr. Li Jiu, who was popular with everyone, at a lively banquet, and then accepted everyone's praise and goodwill.
What exactly has changed?
Nie Jinxi's teeth itched with hatred, and she couldn't help but bite her lower lip, not even noticing that it was almost bitten through...
Seeing Nie Jinxi in such a state of disgrace, yet still able to take a look at herself, Nie Yao slowly said, "Nie Jinxi, Dad is right. You've been caught in the rain. Go back and take a hot bath. I'll ask the kitchen to make you a bowl of ginger soup to prevent you from catching a cold..."
After Nie Yao finished speaking, Nie's father nodded in agreement, wrapped Nie Jinxi tightly in a towel, and took Nie Jinxi away from the banquet hall where everyone was gathered.
