Chapter 372 Ulterior Motives
"Ayao, what's wrong?" Father Nie didn't expect that his daughter would call again not long after leaving home. He thought she had something urgent to say, so he asked hurriedly with concern.
"Dad, after I came back, there was something I couldn't figure out, so I wanted to ask you!" Nie Yao said in a low voice.
"You said..." Father Nie smiled and nodded.
"When Nie Jinxi was found, you tested her DNA and blood type, and there were no problems, right?"
Father Nie was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect her to ask about this matter suddenly. He nodded and replied, "Yes, there is indeed no problem..."
"Then when she was eighteen, and you discovered the problem, did you ever think about the reasons behind it? Was it Second Uncle who brought Nie Jinxi back? Was it Second Uncle who was responsible for the blood test?"
Nie Yao asked several questions in a row, but Father Nie fell silent. He sighed softly and replied in a quiet voice, "Ayao, it wasn't your uncle who was responsible for the blood test back then. But after Jinxi's identity was exposed, I did suspect it was your uncle who did it! I also confronted your uncle about it, and he said that he saw my pain after losing my daughter, and that my wife and I were grief-stricken, so he struggled for a long time before bringing Nie Jinxi back home, treating her as my and your mother's biological daughter. He would tell me later..."
Nie Yao listened to her father's words silently. It sounded as if her second uncle was really doing it for her father's good, and even trying hard for family harmony, but the truth was definitely not that simple!
If grandpa hadn't died, maybe she would have believed that this was really the reason given by her second uncle!
"Dad, don't you think Second Uncle's reasons are hypocritical? If he really wanted to do this for your own good, why would he pass his illegitimate daughter off as yours? Even if you can accept that, my mother, who carried him for ten months, would never accept it!"
Nie Yao said this coldly, and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
"Father, you are so kind. Have you never suspected that Second Uncle has ulterior motives?"
Father Nie frowned upon hearing his daughter's aggressive questioning and angrily rebuked, "Ayao, your second uncle is your elder after all. How can you say that about him? He's my biological brother, your biological uncle. When you disappeared, he did his best to help us find you..."
"Maybe he's just acting..." Nie Yao snorted coldly and said in a cold tone.
"Ayao!" Father Nie was a little annoyed. He scolded her harshly and said in a deep voice, "I know you have a lot of resentment in your heart, whether it's towards this family, towards Nie Jinxi, or towards your grandfather and your second uncle... But your second uncle is definitely not that kind of person. Even if you don't trust him, you should trust your father! I know his character very well!"
After being suddenly scolded by her father, Nie Yao felt that her eardrums seemed to be aching slightly. Even through the phone, she could feel that her biological father had frowned in dissatisfaction and was scolding her for being petty!
Sure enough, before she could speak, Father Nie continued, "Ayao, you are an excellent and sensible child. I heard that you have traveled to many places with your adoptive father. I hope you can be more open-minded. Now that you are back, don't cling to the past, and don't think that the Nie family are all your enemies..."
The meaning of this statement was very clear. Her father would never agree with her suspecting her second uncle in order to investigate the past!
Nie Yao shook her head and smiled self-deprecatingly. It seemed that her decision was right. Whether it was investigating her grandfather's death, her own disappearance, or her mother's death in a car accident, she could not tell anyone in the Nie family!
