Chapter 330 Ambition
But Nie Yao already understood what he meant and whispered, "I don't understand these things, but I always feel that this Second Uncle seems to be very hostile to me. I'm a little confused..."
"He's just worried that you'll come back and snatch the inheritance!" Li Jinxing leaned back in his chair, stroking her hair with one hand, and said in a light tone, "He has ambitions, and he has a son studying abroad who hasn't returned. Now that you've been found and Elder Nie values you so much, it's no surprise he's worried!"
"You mean, I have a cousin who has never shown up?" Nie Yao looked at Li Jinxing in surprise. She never expected that not only did he not tell her about this, but even other people in the Nie family did not mention it to her!
"That's right!" Li Jinxing met Nie Yao's surprised gaze, as if he had guessed what she would ask. He explained with a smile, "He doesn't have a good reputation. He caused a scandal in his early years and angered your second uncle and your grandfather, so he was sent away and was not allowed to come back until he achieved academic success..."
"What kind of scandal is it that makes everyone keep it secret?" Nie Yao really couldn't figure it out. Could it be the same scandal as Lin Anqi's?
"It was said that she went to a club to party, and was later found lying in bed with a little boy. Your second uncle caught her red-handed!"
Li Jinxing sighed at this point, "If I hadn't sent someone to investigate, I wouldn't have thought your cousin would play so big. He was just a high school student at the time, but he was so open..."
Nie Yao almost froze when she heard what he said.
So this cousin of hers, whom she had never met, slept with a little boy in high school and was caught by her second uncle himself?
"This is really..." Nie Yao didn't know how to comment on this matter anymore. She couldn't help but ask hesitantly, "What's going on between him and Nie Jinxi? A high school student sleeping with a boy, and an eighteen-year-old crawling into a man's bed?"
"Then we can only ask your Nie family elders!" Li Jinxing spread his hands and said with a smile, "It seems that they have a big problem in disciplining their children. Only you, who didn't grow up in the Nie family, have lived a completely different life from them!"
Nie Yao didn't say anything else, but frowned slightly and fell into a long silence.
"You don't have to feel sorry for them. They live a more comfortable life than many others. They've lived a life of luxury since childhood, without any worries. They chose their own path..."
Li Jinxing thought she was in a bad mood because of this, so he put his arm around her shoulders, lowered his head and kissed her cheek, whispering to her in comfort: "Although they all have the surname Nie, they are them, and you are you!"
"I'm not feeling sorry for them..." Nie Yao sighed, shook her head and smiled bitterly, "I just think it's a waste that they have such good resources but don't make good use of them!"
"Not everyone has your awareness!"
Li Jinxing smiled slightly, put his hand on her chin, gently lifted her face, met her eyes, and asked with a smile: "When your cousin returns from studying abroad, the Nie family is bound to face more unrest. Are you ready?"
"I've never thought about what we would be competing for with the Nie family, and what we would need to prepare for?" Nie Yao replied with a frown.
"But you've also seen that none of the younger generation in the Nie family are capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility. If your grandfather were to entrust this important responsibility to you, would you really hand it over and allow these prodigal sons to squander the Nie family fortune?"
