Chapter 571 Whose Conspiracy
"Nie Xiao..." Nie Yao saw how he was holding back and didn't know how to comfort him. She could only pat his arm and whisper, "Actually, you should explain this to them. Your father only has you as his son, and he won't refuse to listen to your explanation. And your mother..."
"I wanted to fight back, but later I just wanted to stay away from them, even if it meant being misunderstood!"
Nie Xiao shrugged and smiled nonchalantly, "Over time, I've become too lazy to explain. If they truly believed in me, they would have listened to my explanation from the beginning instead of sending me away for the sake of our family's reputation!"
Nie Yao sighed softly. First it was this cousin, and then it was Lin Anqi... Old Nie has always done the same thing. He didn't try to find out who the real culprit was, but to preserve the family's reputation first!
The two of them were silent for a while before Nie Xiao smiled and said, "Okay, cousin, after telling you about this today, I feel much better. Thank you for listening to me..."
"It's nothing. You remembered to talk to me about this. At least you really treat me as your cousin!" Nie Yao shook her head and said with a smile.
"Actually, I didn't want to talk about this anymore, but today Lin Anqi suddenly told me that she was drugged by Nie Jinxi, so I couldn't help but recall it..."
Nie Xiao sighed softly, rubbed his brow, and whispered, "It's really not a glorious thing. I still feel sick and upset when I think about it!"
Nie Yao nodded silently. If Nie Xiao was really framed as he said, it would be really terrible and disgusting!
However, when Lin Anqi mentioned Nie Jinxi to him, Nie Yao also felt strange. Could it be that Lin Anqi had found some new evidence?
"Cousin, I'm sorry to disturb you. It's getting late. Go back and rest..." Nie Xiao said with a smile.
Nie Yao nodded, and turned with Nie Xiao, heading towards the living room.
"Nie Xiao..." Nie Yao called him softly when the two of them walked to the door.
"What?"
"Who attended your party?" Nie Yao suddenly asked.
Nie Xiao was stunned for a moment, then answered hesitantly, "They are all from wealthy families, there are quite a lot of them..."
"Is Nie Jinxi here?" Nie Yao asked thoughtfully.
"No, of course it's impossible for her, a girl, to participate. They are all men..." Nie Xiao shook his head.
"Then...what about Ji Minghuan?" Nie Yao asked again in a deep voice.
"Brother Minghuan? Of course he's here. After all, we've always had a good relationship with the Ji family, and he's always been nice to me..." Nie Xiao nodded happily and answered without hesitation.
In fact, he didn't remember who was there at the time. He only knew that some people joined in the middle, but the only thing that was certain was that Ji Minghuan must have been there!
"I understand!" Nie Yao nodded in understanding, a hint of sneer flashing across her eyes.
With Ji Minghuan around, everything can be explained. At that time, Nie Jinxi was older than Nie Xiao, and she had been secretly having an affair with Ji Minghuan for a long time!
If Nie Jinxi really wanted to drug Nie Xiao, she might have instigated Ji Minghuan to do it...
Or maybe Ji Minghuan took the initiative to conspire with Nie Jinxi, because Nie Jinxi was his second uncle's illegitimate daughter, and no one knew about this except Nie Jinxi!
Nie Xiao is the son of his second uncle. If Nie Xiao gets into trouble and is driven away, then only Nie Jinxi will be the heir to the Nie family. Therefore, if Ji Minghuan wants to marry Nie Jinxi in the future, he can also slowly devour the Nie family through Nie Jinxi!
