Chapter 377 Support
Nie Yao's lips curled up into a cold smile, and a cold light flashed in her eyes: "I don't mind her attacking me. She failed to drug me last time, and I'm afraid she will attack me again. I will wait and see!"
Seeing that Nie Yao wasn't afraid to confront Nie Jinxi head-on, Li Jinxing curled his lips slightly, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, chuckling softly, "That's the way you should act. A mere illegitimate daughter has been occupying your nest for twenty years and still wants to act like a troublemaker in front of a legitimate daughter like you. It's time you taught her a lesson..."
Nie Yao smiled faintly, shook her head and said, "There's no rush now. I suspect that my second uncle and her biological mother may be related to my grandfather's death, so we can't alert them for the time being!"
She paused here, frowning slightly. "I've kept this a secret from Grandpa and Father, so don't let anything slip. Given how much they care about the family's reputation, even if they find out something in the future, they'll probably try to cover it up!"
Li Jinxing nodded and replied with a smile: "Don't worry, I will help you keep this secret!"
Seeing that Nie Yao seemed relieved, Li Jinxing brushed away the loose hair from her forehead, pinched the tip of her nose, and asked jokingly, "So you came back in a bad mood today, is it because of Nie Jinxi's life experience?"
"It's not just that..." Nie Yao shook her head and answered honestly, "Perhaps this was just the cause. I just had a quarrel with my father on the phone. I just wanted to ask Nie Jinxi, since she is my second uncle's daughter, if my second uncle had tampered with the blood and DNA tests back then. I didn't expect..."
She paused here.
Li Jinxing guessed Father Nie's reaction from her wry smile and asked thoughtfully, "He said you shouldn't doubt your second uncle?"
"Well, he thinks I'm not broad-minded enough and keep dwelling on the past..."
Nie Yao smiled bitterly and shook her head, whispering, "I just want to get the truth, but my father and grandfather think I'm just stirring up trouble and creating conflict within the family..."
Li Jinxing had long anticipated the Nie family's attitude. He patted her shoulder and soothed her, "What's the truth to you is just a ridiculous scandal to them. They certainly don't want to delve into it further!"
"I wanted to hold it in, but I found I couldn't. I just had a big fight with my dad, and I won't inherit the Nie family!"
Nie Yao took a deep breath and said slowly and seriously, "I plan to finish investigating this matter and then go back to school to finish my studies. I don't want to bother with the Nie family's affairs anymore!"
Seeing that Nie Yao didn't make this decision on impulse, but had suppressed her emotions for a long time, Li Jinxing stopped trying to dissuade her and said softly, "Since you've decided this, I support you!"
Nie Yao was slightly stunned. She raised her eyes to meet Li Jinxing's gentle gaze and asked hesitantly, "Don't you think I'm avoiding trouble and family responsibilities?"
"Do you think you are running away?" Li Jinxing raised his eyebrows and asked back.
Nie Yao thought for a moment, shook her head, and smiled, "No, I'm just tired of their rules of the wealthy and powerful, and their inability to distinguish right from wrong. I don't want to be associated with them!"
"Then do what you want in your heart. Don't make it hard on yourself..." Li Jinxing stroked her hair and said softly, word by word, "You have your own principles. There's no need to force yourself for the sake of a so-called wealthy family!"
