Chapter 569 Sick Home
Nie Xiao paused here, then continued, "I originally wanted to study bioengineering, but my mother strongly disagreed. She insisted that I study business, saying that I should learn to manage a company in the future. She also forced me to take that Master of Business Administration exam..."
"Your mother has a point. If you want to manage the company's business when you return, studying business is indeed more useful..." Nie Yao nodded in agreement and said with a smile, "But the most important thing is that you like it!"
"I can't say I like it, nor can I say I hate it..." Nie Xiao shrugged, looking at his cousin Nie Yao beside him, and asked curiously, "I heard that your cousin is studying archaeology?"
"Yes, my adoptive father also studies archaeology, so I can be considered as following in his footsteps?" Nie Yao nodded happily and joked with a smile.
Nie Xiao was also amused by her words and sighed softly, "I see that my cousin and your adoptive father have a very good relationship. Did you always follow your adoptive father before returning to the Nie family?"
"Yes, my adoptive father raised me and taught me a lot of things. I am very grateful to him..." Nie Yao nodded and smiled.
"That's great, cousin. Actually, I'm a little envious of you..." Nie Xiao sighed softly.
"You envy me?" Nie Yao stopped and looked at Nie Xiao in surprise. She asked jokingly, "You have both parents and grew up in a privileged environment. What is there to envy me for?"
"My cousin just returned to the Nie family. She probably doesn't know that the Nie family only looks good on the surface..."
Nie Xiao shook his head, a sneer curling up at the corner of his lips. "On my uncle's side, Nie Jinxi and Lin Anqi have been fighting openly and covertly, and there has been no peace since I was a child. And my parents, apart from maintaining a harmonious relationship outwardly, actually have a very bad relationship. Privately, no one wants to talk to each other..."
When he said this, his brows furrowed slightly. "I know my dad is a playboy and has countless women outside, but as long as he doesn't bring any of them home, my mom turns a blind eye. As for grandpa, he's old, and I don't know if he can't see some things clearly, or if he just doesn't want to get involved..."
Nie Yao was a little surprised when she heard him talking about the Nie family. She never expected that this cousin was full of complaints about the Nie family!
Remembering what Li Jinxing had told her before, Nie Yao couldn't help but ask, "Nie Xiao, do you ever feel resentful about being sent abroad as punishment and unable to return until you finish your studies?"
"Resentment?" Nie Xiao shook his head and sneered, "I wish I could get away from that sick family. The farther away the better. There aren't many normal people in that family!"
Nie Yao burst out laughing. She hadn't expected Nie Xiao to say such things about the Nie family. She raised an eyebrow and asked, "Nie Xiao, have you said these words to them?"
Before Nie Xiao could answer, Nie Yao changed her approach: "Or perhaps, what you did back then was revenge against your family?"
She didn't say what Nie Xiao had done back then. After all, it wasn't a glorious thing, but Nie Xiao would understand!
Nie Xiao lowered his head and looked at his cousin. His eyes flickered with a strange light under the moonlight. He asked in a low voice, "Cousin, do you think I'm the kind of playboy who doesn't care about food or meat and wants anyone, in any situation?"
Nie Yao was stunned at his strange question. After thinking for a moment, she shook her head and said with an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry, Nie Xiao. Although you are my cousin, this is the first time we meet. I don't know anything about you..."
