Chapter 1257 Staring at Her
"You two are in a relationship, and although you are not biological siblings, you are both smart and good children. Grandpa hopes that you will never have the same kind of quarrels between brothers as other wealthy families in the future!" Old Nie's voice was steady and solemn.
Nie Yao and Nie Xiao glanced at each other, a smile on their faces, and they said in unison, "Don't worry, Grandpa, we won't let you down!"
Elder Nie also revealed a gratified smile, nodded, and laughed repeatedly: "Okay, okay, Grandpa believes in you..."
At this point, he changed the subject and whispered, "Besides you two, there's also Nie Jinxi..."
When Nie Yao and Nie Xiao heard Elder Nie mention Nie Jinxi, they were both stunned and subconsciously frowned slightly.
Elder Nie looked at the two men's expressions and knew they disliked Nie Jinxi. He slowly said, "Grandpa knows that Nie Jinxi is far inferior to you two. She has a mother who is not worthy of being mentioned in public, and she has done many wrong things. But she is still a descendant of the Nie family. If she is disgraced or commits a crime, she will always be linked to the Nie family!"
Elder Nie smiled bitterly and sighed, then continued, "So Grandpa hopes that you two siblings can still take care of her and keep an eye on her. Don't let her commit any serious offenses that would bring shame to the Nie family!"
Nie Yao smiled noncommittally, and Nie Xiao spoke first, "Grandpa, I'm afraid even if my cousin and I talk, she won't listen!"
"So when she comes back today, I will teach her a lesson and remind her to listen to what you two say and not go down the wrong path and go further and further!" Old Nie's expression was quite serious.
"But..." Nie Xiao wanted to say something, but was stopped by Nie Yao.
"Grandpa, Nie Xiao and I will remember what you said. Her last name is Nie, and she's a member of the Nie family. Even if we kick her out, her words and actions will still be remembered by the Nie family!"
Nie Yao's words hit the nail on the head for Old Nie.
It’s not that Mr. Nie hasn’t thought about kicking Nie Jinxi out completely, but when he thinks of Nie Jinxi’s weird behavior and what her mother did, he is still a little worried!
Even if they don't recognize Nie Jinxi, even if Nie Jinxi is just an illegitimate daughter, she still bears the name of the Nie family. Those who covet the Nie family cannot start with other members of the Nie family, but they can break through with Nie Jinxi!
So even if he was disappointed with Nie Jinxi, he couldn't give up on her so easily...
"Grandpa, don't worry. Nie Xiao and I will keep an eye on Nie Jinxi and prevent her from causing any harm to the Nie family!"
Nie Yao's words also made Nie Laoan feel relieved.
"Ayao, Grandpa is old and sometimes gets confused. From now on, the Nie family will rely on your guidance!"
Elder Nie patted the back of Nie Yao's hand. Seeing that Nie Xiao remained silent, his brows still slightly furrowed, he whispered to Nie Xiao, "Xiao'er, Grandpa knows you're angry with her. Don't worry, Grandpa won't let you suffer in vain. Most of the Nie family's wealth belongs to you and your cousin!"
"Grandpa, I'm not doing this for the family fortune..." Nie Xiao couldn't help but retort.
Elder Nie reached out and pressed the back of Nie Xiao's hand, chuckling softly, "Just because you don't care doesn't mean Grandpa doesn't! Besides, Nie Jinxi's matter has hurt you and your mother, too. You deserve compensation!"
Nie Xiao wanted to say something, but when he saw Nie Yao winking at him, he nodded and said, "Grandpa, I'll do as you say!"
