Chapter 166: Dinner Party, 1 Kill
Chapter 166: Dinner Party, 1 Kill
How can you kiss someone if you don't like them? How can you let the other person sleep in your house if you don't like them?
Ni Jia didn't know what was going on in Li Yucheng's head, and how many detours he had taken to end up in such an outrageous path.
Simply because of refusing marriage?
The driver came to open the door. The cold wind made Ni Jia shiver. Beauty comes at a price. She quickly calmed herself down and got out of the car, holding up her skirt.
The Cheng family manor is luxurious and gorgeous. Behind this iron gate is the world of fame and fortune.
Ni Jia has no control over how many people came here today with the desire to climb up the social ladder.
As long as this occasion can gather the people she wants to see, it's enough.
Li Yucheng stood beside her, his expression had returned to normal, "Hold me."
This was the first time they appeared in public, without a relationship but closer than when they were together.
Countless pairs of eyes looked towards them, and Ni Jia saw inquiry, scrutiny, suspicion, contempt, envy, jealousy, and amazement in their eyes.
She had almost all the emotions she wanted. She was not surprised and not at all nervous. She smiled back at everyone who looked at her.
Except...Shen Chuyao.
As soon as their eyes met, Ni Jia felt the other's hatred.
She looked at the other person's clothes carefully. The bright peach pink princess dress with an exaggerated large skirt made her look like a runaway Disney princess. She was very eye-catching.
It had been a long time since they last met. At that time, Shen Chuyao was still very polite. She proudly held the arm of Old Mrs. Huo and called her Grandma Huo affectionately.
Now the other party should feel that he has taken over Li Yucheng and hate him to the core.
"Want to go over?" Li Yucheng asked, bending down.
Ni Jia turned around and smiled sweetly, and held Li Yucheng's arms a little tighter. To outsiders, this action seemed like she wanted to pull Li Yucheng closer and whisper something to him.
"Not urgent."
Li Yucheng was a little dazzled by this smile. He couldn't take his eyes away for a moment and couldn't help but move closer.
"Okay." He stared into Ni Jia's eyes, making sure that the other party was putting on a show: "Don't run around when there are so many people around."
"Don't worry." Ni Jia wrinkled his nose playfully.
The appearance was completely different from that in the car. Li Yucheng felt a little torn. Even though he knew it was fake, he couldn't help but be carried away by his emotions.
"Li Yucheng." Ni Jia pinched his arm implicitly.
"Ok?"
Ni Jia leaned close to his ear and said softly, "Can you be happier?"
"You seem excited."
"Do you want to avenge your daughter?"
"Of course I do." Li Yucheng stood up straight and smiled in agreement.
Ni Jia grabbed his arm and warned him in a low voice: "Hold on, don't let your smile fall."
It's fake, so what? Li Yucheng sighed in his heart and continued to smile: "Okay, Princess Jiajia."
Ni Jia pulled back and helped Li Yucheng straighten his cloak. He lowered his voice and said, "Don't shout like that outside..."
"Aren't we going to act?" Li Yucheng turned around and put his arm around her waist, saying in a low voice, "Then be professional."
It’s not just acting, Ni Jia thought, weren’t we very happy before attending the event together?
Li Yucheng glanced at the door and whispered, "Your sister is here, be careful."
"Really?" Ni Jia blinked, "Then you should greet him warmly~"
She took the initiative to pull Li Yucheng towards Ni Chang.
This kind of Ni Jia was strange and interesting. Li Yucheng couldn't help but look at her a few more times. Only after they met face to face did his eyes slowly shift direction.
"How have you been lately?"
Ni Chang gritted her teeth inwardly, but had to smile on her face: "What do you think?"
Ni Jia deliberately looked back and saw Li Chengan slowly getting out of the car.
"Your brother is here," she patted her subordinate's arm, "go and say hello."
Li Yucheng glanced at her without saying anything. He placed his hands on her lower back affectionately twice before leaving.
"It's good to have both love and career flourishing, I guess."
It’s not that she wants to avoid Li Yucheng, but with him around, Ni Chang can’t help but hold back.
It would be a pity if she couldn't see her sister's true appearance at a time like this.
"Don't be too complacent. If you can't fulfill your promise, you'll see how Dad will punish you!"
“Why should I fulfill my promise?” Ni Jia leaned in and smiled, “I never had that thought.”
"What do you mean?"
"It means you are the same as me," Ni Jia drew a line between the two of them, "Do you see it clearly now, Miss Ni."
She deliberately emphasized the last four words, just to let her sister know that no matter whether she was the eldest lady or the second lady, she had to serve Ni and Ni Dehai.
They will be thrown out sooner or later, they are all pawns, there is no difference.
“You…” Ni Chang’s expression almost collapsed. After taking a few deep breaths, she cursed in a low voice: “You bitch!”
"There must be something hateful about pitiful people." Ni Jia rubbed her sister's shoulder and whispered, "I shouldn't feel sorry for you."
"You pity me?" Ni Chang was so angry that her body trembled slightly, and even her facial muscles began to tremble slightly: "Say it again."
Since she wanted to hear it so much, then she would do as her sister wished. Ni Jia stood up straight, stared into her sister's eyes, and said word by word.
"Listen carefully."
"It was Ni Dehai who arranged for me and Li Yucheng to get married."
"I'm not wrong, not at all."
"You clearly know the answer, but you still hold on to it. This shows that you are a coward."
"You don't dare to look for Ni Dehai or anger him because you rely on him and need his assets, so you only bully me."
"I used to give in to you because I felt sorry for you."
"Now I wish you to rot and stink in that mire!"
"Because you are just like him, you are a rotten person at heart."
Ni Jia's emotions were very stable, and he always had a smile on his face, as if he was reading a script he had memorized by heart.
She watched Ni Chang's emotions gradually get out of control while she was forbearing. Her smile faded, her expression became stiff, and her two curved smiling eyes gradually became sharp.
If looks could kill, she would probably be riddled with wounds by now.
This was a public place, and Ni Chang grabbed the hem of her skirt and tried her best to restrain herself from completely losing control.
"Bitch, have you forgotten who you are?"
"Your last name is also Ni, and you and I have the same blood."
"If we don't have a good life, you won't have an easy life either!"
"We will always be in the same quagmire, don't worry!"
"I've never relied on Ni, how about you?"
"Can you survive without it?"
Seeing Li Yucheng and Li Chengan walking towards him, Ni Jia smiled.
"Sister, you should find someone else as soon as possible. I can't let you marry into the Li family."
Thinking of what Ni Chang said to her sister that day, Ni Jia's fake smile faded, his expression turned cold, and he glanced at Ni Chang's belly.
"You can't get in."
Feeling the contemptuous gaze, Ni Chang could no longer bear it. She loosened her skirt, grabbed Ni Jia's wrist, and wanted to take him to the corner.
"I'm going to tear your stinky mouth apart today!"
