Chapter 323 Disdain
"Minghuan, your uncle Nie has already promised that Nie Yao and Jin Xi will have the same status in the Nie family..."
Father Ji was still trying to persuade his son, but Ji Minghuan simply didn't want to listen anymore. He waved his hand and sneered, "I told you, I, Ji Minghuan, won't let them do whatever they want. Now that my eldest daughter is gone, they're using my second daughter as an excuse. There are countless daughters from prestigious families who want to marry me, Ji Minghuan. Do you really think I have to marry someone from the Nie family?"
He deliberately shouted this sentence loudly into the phone, and his voice was so loud that it made Father Nie frown and hold the phone away.
Even Nie Yao and Yu Wanqing, who were chatting, couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound, with a look of surprise on their faces.
Nie Jinxi, who was eavesdropping on the call, was so shocked that her hands were shaking and the corners of her lips were trembling slightly. She couldn't believe her ears...
Originally, she still held a glimmer of hope, but she never expected that Ji Minghuan would despise her so thoroughly that he was unwilling to marry her even without an arranged marriage!
Nie Jinxi didn't know how much effort it took before she could support herself by leaning against the handrail of the stairs, but Ji Minghuan's angry words were still echoing in her ears.
She couldn't lose, she couldn't lose like this. She had given herself to Ji Minghuan at the age of eighteen, and she couldn't fail so miserably just because of Nie Yao's appearance!
"Mr. Ji, what Ji Minghuan said just now..." Father Nie spoke slowly at this time, his tone quite serious: "Is he disliking our Nie family's daughter?"
"Of course not!" Father Ji quickly laughed and apologized to Father Nie, "Minghuan has been in a bad mood these days, so his reaction was a bit too intense..."
After he said this, he subconsciously went to find Ji Minghuan. However, after Ji Minghuan deliberately said this to his father's mobile phone, he turned around and left.
Father Ji called him several times but failed to get him back. He had no choice but to apologize again and again to Father Nie who had listened to the whole conversation on the other end of the phone.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Nie, Minghuan has a childish temper. Let's discuss this marriage when we meet again..."
Although Father Nie felt a little uncomfortable after hearing Ji Minghuan's yelling, Father Ji's attitude was good, so he suppressed his displeasure, nodded in response, and then hung up the phone.
After he finished the call, he turned around and found Nie Jinxi standing not far behind him. He was stunned for a moment and asked hesitantly, "Jinxi, how long have you been standing here?"
Nie Jinxi didn't answer, but her tearful expression said it all.
"Did you hear what Ji Minghuan said just now?" As soon as Father Nie saw her expression, he guessed that she had heard everything.
Nie Jinxi burst into tears. Seeing this, her father couldn't bear it either. He patted her shoulder and comforted her, "You don't have to be too sad. I think Minghuan was just saying that in anger..."
"Dad, how could he say such harsh words?" Nie Jinxi finally couldn't bear the grievance in her heart anymore and threw herself into her father's arms, tears wetting her face.
"I treat him wholeheartedly, yet he speaks such cruel words. Does he think that only Nie Yao is worthy of marriage with him? Then what am I?"
Ever since he learned that Nie Jinxi wasn't his biological daughter, Father Nie hadn't hugged her in a long time. Now that she had thrown herself into his arms and sobbed, Father Nie felt a deep sigh in his heart. This child, after all, had been raised by him...
