Chapter 53 Family Conflict
She began to doubt whether she should have listened to Li Jinxing's advice and gone straight to the airport after the banquet that night!
"What are you talking about? You are the eldest granddaughter of the Nie family. In the future, you will have to shoulder the responsibility of supporting the Nie family's business. Finding a wealthy young man who is of equal status is also one of your responsibilities!" Old Nie's face instantly darkened, and he put down his teacup and asked unhappily.
"Grandpa, I'm willing to come back only because you repeatedly persuaded my adoptive father, but for the past twenty years, my adoptive father has raised me single-handedly, and I've never thought of becoming the daughter of a wealthy family!"
Nie Yao looked calmly at her grandfather and father, and said in a deep voice, word by word, "I will not marry a man I dislike for the sake of an arranged marriage, nor can I bear the responsibility of supporting the Nie family's business. I have my own goals in life. You should choose someone else!"
"Your so-called life goal is to get covered in dust every day, hang out in those cemeteries, and study some useless things?" Old Nie asked coldly.
"Archaeology has never been useless!" Nie Yao said this and stood up. "I can't help it if you don't understand, but please don't underestimate my profession!"
After she finished speaking, she turned and went upstairs. Seeing this, Father Nie hurriedly asked her, "Ayao, where are you going?"
"Pack your bags and return to Egypt!" Nie Yao turned around and sneered at Elder Nie and Father Nie, "I'm going to continue doing what I believe is useful. I won't stay here and embarrass you!"
"Nie Yao—" Nie Laoli shouted, and with the help of Nie's father, he stood up and said to Nie Yao who was going upstairs, "Do you know what your responsibilities are as a member of the Nie family?"
Nie Yao didn't answer and went back to her room to pack her luggage.
Responsibility... When she was adopted, she had already thought that this family might not be able to give her the warmth she wanted, but that didn't mean she had to be forced to listen to them!
By the time she dragged her suitcase downstairs, Old Nie was so angry that he was helped away by Butler Lu. Father Nie blocked her way downstairs and whispered, "Ayao, you have to be considerate of your grandfather. You are the eldest daughter of this generation, and he was finally recognized. Your grandfather does have high hopes for you!"
"Dad, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you..." Nie Yao shook his head and smiled helplessly.
"Ayao, don't say that. I know you can't accept it right now. The people and things here..."
Father Nie held her shoulders and looked at her earnestly, "Dad won't force you into an arranged marriage, nor will he force you into a blind date. If you really don't want to live in this old house and see everyone else all the time, I have a new apartment in the city center. You can stay there temporarily, as long as you want..."
Father Nie handed her a brand new key and said with a smile, "Your grandfather is old. Just for the sake of his health, can you spare some time every week to come back and spend more time with him?"
Nie Yao met her father's sincere gaze, and the words of refusal came to her lips, but she couldn't say them!
She was silent for a moment, but finally accepted the key and whispered, "Dad, I promise you, as long as you don't force me to go on a blind date and don't stop me from completing my studies!"
"Okay, we won't force you, but Dad still hopes that you can come and help Dad and run the company together in the future!"
Nie Yao did not answer her father's words. Facing his expectant gaze, she could only whisper, "I'm sorry..."
