Chapter 1153 Who gave you the courage?
When Nie Guanglin heard Nie Yao's words, his expression turned even uglier. He subconsciously denied it on Nie Jinxi's behalf, "That's impossible. She has her own jewelry, so why would she steal yours?"
Nie Yao shrugged and replied with a sneer, "Why did she steal? I think it's best for Second Uncle to ask her himself! Whether Second Uncle believes it or not, I have evidence against her here. If she doesn't want to give it back to me, I can only ask the police for help!"
"You—" Nie Guanglin's face changed drastically. He had never expected Nie Yao to be so heartless. He glared at Nie Yao with wide eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Nie Yao, Nie Jinxi is also your sister. Do you have to be so heartless?"
Nie Yao smiled without comment. No matter how cruel she was, it was not as heartless as what her second uncle and Nie Jinxi's mother had done back then!
"Dad, please persuade Nie Yao. If she insists on making a big deal out of this, it will be our Nie family that suffers in the end!" Seeing that persuading Nie Yao was useless, Nie Guanglin could only ask Old Nie to plead for her.
Elder Nie frowned slightly. He had seen Nie Jinxi sneak into Nie Yao's room on the surveillance camera before, but he was too angry afterwards and didn't stare at Nie Jinxi to see what she took from Nie Yao...
Now that Nie Yao said this, he believed that Nie Yao would never slander Nie Jinxi. He sighed softly and said to Nie Yao, "Ayao, tell Grandpa, what did she take from you?"
"They took a diamond brooch and a set of pigeon blood ruby jewelry hidden in a secret compartment!"
Nie Yao paused and continued, "Grandpa, I didn't want to tell you this, but since Second Uncle doesn't believe me, I can only tell you the truth! Although I rarely wear these jewels after you and Dad gave them to me, it doesn't mean that they can be taken away by others at will!"
Old Nie's face darkened. It would have been fine if it was just a small brooch, but this Nie Jinxi was so bold that she even dared to take away a whole set of pigeon blood ruby jewelry. It was really a disgrace to their family!
As expected, the illegitimate daughter of a mistress is not presentable. After being raised in the Nie family for so many years, she still can't change the habits she inherited from her mother. She actually came back to steal things...
Old Nie had long been disappointed with Nie Jinxi. Now, when he heard Nie Yao talking about the theft, he just scolded Nie Jinxi in his heart and comforted Nie Yao softly, "Ayao, you don't have to be angry about this. Don't worry, Grandpa will come forward and ask her to return your things to you!"
Nie Yao smiled faintly and took the initiative to comfort Old Nie, saying, "Grandpa, you are still recovering from your illness. There is no need to trouble you. I can handle this matter myself!"
Before Elder Nie could say anything, Nie Guanglin spoke anxiously, "Dad, how could you believe Nie Yao's one-sided story? Jinxi has been raised in luxury, she's seen everything. She owns a vast collection of jewelry. There's no way she'd covet Nie Yao's things!"
When he said this, he glared at Nie Yao coldly, with a hint of warning in his eyes.
Nie Yao ignored her uncle's warning and replied calmly, "My uncle trusts Nie Jinxi so much. If you didn't know, you would think he has no sons and only this one daughter!"
"You!" Nie Guanglin was so angry at Nie Yao's words that he almost jumped up and down. He pointed at her nose and shouted, "Nie Yao, I think you are becoming more and more shameless. You actually spoke to your second uncle like that! Who gave you the courage?"
Without waiting for Nie Yao to answer, Li Jinxing said coldly: "I gave it to you, how about it?"
