Chapter 374 Unable to be magnanimous
"Of course it's not enough. You've only been back for a short time..." Father Nie tried to persuade Nie Yao, but Nie Yao had already made up her mind.
"Dad, I have something else to do here, so I won't talk to you for now. Sorry!"
Nie Yao didn't listen to her father's advice and hung up the phone directly.
The computer screen was still on the webpage where she searched for news about the missing person. She browsed quietly and actually saw the obituary of her mother's death!
Even though the photo of her mother was already blurry, Nie Yao suddenly felt a pang of sadness...
She was too young when she disappeared and had long lost her memory of her mother. However, in her dreams, there was always a vague figure holding her and humming a song softly, as if he had never left!
Perhaps, her mother has been silently watching over her and protecting her in heaven, just like the amulet that she has never lost!
If she had not disappeared, my mother might not have been so exhausted from trying to find her that she got into a car accident, and my grandfather would not have been bedridden and eventually murdered!
Nie Yao quietly took out a photo of her mother from her pocket. She had asked her father for it when she returned to the Nie family's old house.
Many years have passed since the photos were taken. Because her father remarried, most of her mother's photos were put away to prevent her father from suffering the same pain as before. Now, they are in the hands of her, her daughter.
Looking at her mother's gentle appearance in the photo, Nie Yao's eyes suddenly became moist.
She thought she could be magnanimous, but after arguing with her father today, she suddenly realized that perhaps she could never be magnanimous!
Nie Jinxi, who had usurped the throne, could throw herself into her father's arms and complain and act like a spoiled brat without restraint, but she was scolded just for doubting her second uncle...
How could she be magnanimous in the face of such a contrast?
It wasn't her fault, but now it seems as if she is the one who made the mistake in the Nie family. After she made a concession in revealing the mystery of her life experience, they seemed to hope that she would make concessions again and again!
If my mother and grandpa were still alive, perhaps everything would not be like this!
"I came back to recognize my relatives. I recognized so many people, but you are the only one missing, Grandpa..."
There is no doubt that these two people loved her the most back then!
Tears quietly fell down her cheeks. At this moment, there was a knock on the study door. Nie Yao came to her senses and asked quickly, "Who is it?"
"Miss Nie, it's me—" the housekeeper's voice sounded outside the door, and he asked respectfully, "You've been alone in the study for quite a while. Would you like some fruit or afternoon tea?"
"No need!" Nie Yao was reluctant to open the door, her voice a little hoarse.
The butler could only respond helplessly. He wanted to ask a few more questions, but in the end he shook his head and left the study.
After the housekeeper's footsteps had gone away, Nie Yao wiped away her tears and sniffed.
The only time she cried since she was a child was because she was scared by a stray dog!
Later, her adoptive father gave her a stone and told her that crying is the behavior of the weak. Only by becoming strong and daring to face difficulties can she not be scared away!
Nie Yao clenched the photo in her hand and spoke slowly and solemnly to her mother in the photo, "I won't give up. Even if I ever fall out with the Nie family, I will never give up on finding out the truth!"
She put the photo back into her most precious folder and continued to search for news clues from that year on the Internet. Before she knew it, it was dark and she didn't even hear the sound of Li Jinxing coming back.
