Chapter 5 Recognition
"Yes, Dad, don't worry. Didn't the housekeeper go to pick him up?" A young woman standing next to Nie Ronghao also hurriedly persuaded with a smile.
"What do you know?" Nie Ronghao glared at his stepdaughter in dissatisfaction and asked coldly.
She was about to say something, but her mother quietly pinched her palm. She could only pout in frustration, and began to feel a little jealous of this elder sister whom she had never met.
At this moment, someone cheered, "Master, Butler Lu is back with the eldest lady." Old Nie, who had been sitting upright, immediately stood up excitedly with the help of his crutches.
Seeing this, the second daughter-in-law of the Nie family hurried forward to support Old Nie. Just as she was about to advise Old Nie to be more careful, she heard Old Nie calling out tremblingly: "Ayao, my dear granddaughter, you are finally back——"
Almost everyone in the Nie family raised their eyes to look at Nie Yao who came in with the housekeeper, which made Nie Yao feel uncomfortable.
Nie Ronghao could no longer sit still. He stood up and walked over to Nie Yao. He grabbed her hand and said excitedly, "Ayao, I'm your father!"
Nie Yao raised her head and looked at the man who claimed to be her father. She saw that his black eyes under his thick eyebrows were filled with emotion. Under his strong nose, his lips were stretched apart, unable to hide his happiness and emotion at seeing her.
He was wearing a dark grey suit, which made him look straight and tall. Even though time had left traces on his face, Nie Yao had to admit that her biological father looked like a very charming middle-aged man!
Seeing Nie Yao looking at him, Nie Ronghao took her hand and walked in front of Old Nie: "Ayao, this is your grandfather——"
Nie Yao nodded politely, looked at the kind old man in front of him, and said politely: "Hello, Grandpa——"
"Okay, I'm glad you're back, I'm glad you're back..." Old Nie nodded excitedly and gave her the agarwood bracelet on his hand without saying anything.
"This agarwood bracelet has been worn by my grandfather for many years. I'm giving it to you to bless you with safety..."
Nie Yao was still hesitant, but her father whispered, "Go ahead. This is out of your grandfather's good intentions!"
Nie Yao knew that the bracelet was very valuable, but seeing how eager her grandfather was to give it, she could only accept it and express her gratitude.
When the other family members saw that Mr. Nie gave away the expensive bracelet without hesitation, they couldn't help but feel jealous.
"Ayao, this is your stepmother, and this is your sister Lin Anqi!" Nie Ronghao began to take Nie Yao to meet other family members.
As soon as Nie Yao heard the name Lin Anqi, she knew that this was the daughter brought by her stepmother. She wondered in her heart, where is her biological mother?
In front of so many people, she didn't feel comfortable asking, but just watched the mother and daughter look her up and down, then lowered her head to look at her clothes, and she understood.
Compared to their carefully dressed-up outfits, my work clothes, which were just for work convenience, seemed a bit unrefined...
Nie Yao greeted her second uncle's family again, and then Old Nie spoke.
"Okay, Lao Lu, take A Yao to her room and let her have a good rest—"
As the old butler Lu Yuan left the living room, some whispers from the Nie family members also reached Nie Yao's ears.
"Mom, look at her. She looks like a wild boy, not a girl at all."
"Keep your voice down. She's just been brought back, so she might be used to being wild. Your grandfather will definitely find someone to train her. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the Nie family if she goes out?"
"That's right. She's the eldest granddaughter. She can't be so shabby!"
