Chapter 1363 Did I do something wrong?
"Dad, do you also believe those rumors online?" Nie Guanglin's eyes widened as he argued unwillingly, "Those are all false accusations against me. How could I possibly do such a thing... I've already found out that those media outlets are all very close to Li Jinxing. He did it on purpose. He and Nie Yao are working together to bring disgrace upon me and the Nie family..."
Before he could finish his words, Elder Nie's face darkened and he shouted, "Enough!"
Nie Guanglin was startled by his father's yelling. He wanted to say something, but he met Old Nie's stern gaze and felt a little guilty for a moment.
"You can criticize others, but you have no right to criticize A-Yao! The person you feel most sorry for in your life is her!"
Elder Nie glared at his son fiercely and said in a deep voice, "This is the last time I'll take care of your business! Once this matter is settled, you must go and apologize to her in person. Regardless of whether she forgives you or not, you must admit your mistake!"
"Dad—" Nie Guanglin didn't expect his father to speak up for Nie Yao at this moment. He stamped his feet and asked in disbelief, "Why do you have to treat this damn girl differently? Back then, you kicked Nie Jinxi out without hesitation and even removed her name from the family tree!"
"Nie Jinxi is an illegitimate daughter, and I've been very good to her. I've let my own granddaughter stay out there for so many years for nothing!"
Elder Nie shook his head and snorted coldly, looking at his son with a serious look: "Why do I treat A Yao differently? Shouldn't you understand the reason best?"
Nie Guanglin wanted to say something, but when he met his father's all-knowing gaze, it seemed as if nothing could be hidden, and he had to swallow back what he wanted to say.
"Nie Guanglin, I'm only helping you clean up this last mess. Behave yourself for the time being, otherwise if anything happens in the future, I won't protect you anymore!"
Nie Lao sighed and waved his hand to send him away: "Go away, leave me alone!"
Nie Guanglin curled his lips, stood up and said goodbye to his father: "Okay, then I'll be leaving first. Dad, please take care of yourself and don't believe Li Jinxing's lies. His ambitions are obvious!"
After he said this, he left the Nie family's old house.
A cloud of gloom covered Mr. Nie's face. He rubbed his eyebrows and sighed deeply.
Seeing this, Butler Lu also picked up a cup of tea and handed it to Elder Nie, whispering, "Master, don't worry too much. Your health is more important..."
Old Nie took the teacup and took a sip. He shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Old Lu, do you think I did something wrong?"
"Master, what you mean is..." Butler Lu was stunned and asked in confusion.
"Old Lu, there are no outsiders here, and you don't have to play dumb with me. Do you also think that I've been too indulgent towards Nie Guanglin, which has led to the Nie family falling into this situation now?" Old Nie asked in a low voice.
Steward Lu was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke, "Master, I know it's not easy for you. You're always weighing the family's reputation against everything you do. So, this will be unfair to some people and some things..."
"You also think that A Yao will hate me?" Old Nie's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly.
"Master, I'm not sure whether the eldest lady hates you, but I still don't believe what Second Master said, nor do I believe that the eldest lady is colluding with Master Li Jiu to take revenge on the Nie family!"
Butler Lu answered slowly and solemnly.
"I don't believe it either..." Old Nie sighed, blowing on the tea leaves in his cup, and said in a faint tone: "But Li Jinxing really went a bit too far this time. I don't know what he wants, but I can at least talk to A Yao!"
Steward Lu nodded and whispered, "I hope some people will be worthy of your efforts, Master..."
