Chapter 193 fig leaf
"Of course. Her adoptive father is a renowned archaeology expert. I think Editor-in-Chief Xu might have heard of Professor Fred. A-Yao grew up with him, so he can be considered her apprentice!"
When Xu Xin heard this, he couldn't help but look at Nie Yao with admiration. No wonder he always felt that the daughter of the Nie family had a unique temperament. It turned out that she grew up with an archaeologist!
"I didn't expect Miss Nie Yao to have such an experience in the past. No wonder Mr. Nie even specially held a welcome banquet for her now that she's been brought back..."
Xu Xin said this and changed the subject with a smile, "But I still want to ask Mr. Nie, is Miss Nie Jinxi, as the outside world has said, a usurper, and is she actually not related to the Nie family by blood?"
"Of course not. Because A-Yao was sent away when she was young, and her younger sister Jinxi is in good health, so Jinxi was allowed to stay at home to replace her sister Nie Yao and bear the title of the Nie family's granddaughter. It can also be regarded as helping her sister to avoid disaster..."
Mr. Nie answered without hesitation, and Xu Xin suddenly understood.
Xu Xin quickly typed down the information and smiled at Mr. Nie on the phone, "So Miss Jinxi is Miss Nie Yao's sister. I understand. I will write down this interview truthfully!"
"Thank you, Editor-in-Chief Xu!" Mr. Nie felt relieved after hearing this and ended the conversation with Editor-in-Chief Xu Xin.
Nie Yao also turned off the speakerphone and picked up the phone again. She heard her father arguing with her grandfather on the other end of the line, and she seemed to vaguely hear her father's dissatisfaction.
"Dad?" Nie Yao called hesitantly to her father on the phone.
Father Nie quickly responded and whispered to Nie Yao, "Ayao, we are sorry for you, and so is Dad..."
"I never blamed you..." Nie Yao said lightly.
This is not the first time that my father has apologized like this, and the statements he made to the editor about my background were not what he meant!
He was nothing more than the grandfather of her family's reputation, a fig leaf used to cover up the huge gossip that Nie Jinxi had caused!
"Ayao, actually..." Father Nie wanted to tell the truth, but after hesitating for a moment, he swallowed it back and said with a wry smile: "Forget it, I'll tell you later, Ayao, Dad owes you this, and I will make it up to you in the future!"
Nie Yao could hear her father's suppressed emotions on the phone, which seemed to include anger, regret, and annoyance.
She wanted to ask a few more questions, but her father had already hung up the phone.
A hint of sneer flashed across Nie Yao's lips. She could even imagine that her father and grandfather on the other end of the phone were probably arguing fiercely because of this story about her life experience!
The seemingly high-sounding words actually had too many loopholes. If she was really sent out by the Nie family for recuperation, how could they have left her out there and ignored her?
In order to cover up the identity swap between her and Nie Jinxi, the real and fake daughter, and to cover up the joke made by the Nie family, they made up such a statement. It’s ridiculous just to think about it!
The magazine editor-in-chief Xu Xin, who was sitting opposite him, had already roughly sorted out the content of his conversation with Mr. Nie.
Seeing Nie Yao end the call, Xu Xin smiled and said, "Miss Nie, I'd like to ask you about your experience in archaeology. Could you tell me a little bit about it?"
He didn't mention a single word about whether there were any loopholes in the story that Mr. Nie had just told about Nie Yao's life experience!
"Of course..." Nie Yao came back to her senses, nodded and smiled politely at Xu Xin, and quickly adjusted her mood.
