Chapter 619: Being Punished in vain
Nie Guanglin closed the door, walked up to Nie Jinxi, and whispered, "Jinxi, I saw you were soaked just now, so I came up to check on you..."
When he said this, he lowered his head and saw her applying iodine on her feet. His brows furrowed and he asked in a deep voice, "What's going on? Are you injured?"
Nie Jinxi's nose felt a little sore at being so concerned by her biological father. She nodded and replied, "Well, I got lost in the manor and walked for a long time. My feet got blisters, so I had to take off my high heels and walk. As a result, the soles of my feet were scratched..."
"How could this happen?" Nie Guanglin frowned even more tightly. He took the iodine from her hand and applied it to her wound. He then said, "This is not enough. You need to take some anti-inflammatory medicine later to avoid tetanus..."
Nie Jinxi lowered her head and watched her biological father apply medicine to her. She felt better, but she couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Do I need an injection?"
"Don't be afraid. I'll ask for some anti-inflammatory medicine for you later!" Nie Guanglin helped her apply the medicine and put on a band-aid. Then he stood up straight, touched the top of her head and comforted her, "Just don't get wet again..."
Nie Jinxi nodded silently. Nie Guanglin glanced at the ginger soup she had left untouched on the table and asked with concern, "Why don't you drink the ginger soup? You just got caught in the rain, be careful not to catch a cold. Drink it while it's hot!"
"But this ginger soup was sent by Nie Yao, and I'm worried that she might drug me!" Nie Jinxi frowned and looked at the ginger soup with a look of rejection.
"Jinxi, she wouldn't dare do that!" Nie Guanglin shook his head in amusement and handed her the ginger soup: "Drink it quickly!"
"But I'm in this miserable state now because of her. If she hadn't ordered the housekeeper to do so, I wouldn't be laughed at by everyone and injured now!"
When Nie Jinxi said this, her teeth itched with anger.
"Okay, even if she wants you to make a fool of yourself, she won't drug you. Drink this bowl of ginger soup first!" Nie Guanglin whispered. Only then did Nie Jinxi reluctantly pick up the ginger soup and drink it in one breath.
"That bitch Nie Yao asked me to attend her engagement ceremony with such evil intentions!" Nie Jinxi put down the soup bowl, wiped the corner of her mouth, and said bitterly, "See if I can tear her apart after I let her go!"
"Jinxi, you're confused. This is Li Garden!" Nie Guanglin was horrified. He quickly held his daughter's shoulders and whispered, "You can't do whatever you want!"
"Am I going to be bullied by her in vain?" Nie Jinxi raised her head and asked unwillingly.
"Silly child, we can't be sure now that it was Nie Yao who bullied you..." Nie Guanglin sighed softly.
"If it wasn't her, who else could it be? That housekeeper couldn't possibly be so bold. I'm a member of the Nie family, an honored guest. How dare a mere housekeeper cheat me like this? He must have been under her orders!"
When Nie Jinxi said this, she saw that her biological father didn't speak up for her. Her face darkened, and she curled her lips in displeasure and asked, "It's fine that my nominal father is on Nie Yao's side, but are you going to side with Nie Yao too?"
"Of course not, it's just..." Nie Guanglin was a little confused. On the surface, it was indeed his daughter who suffered a loss in this matter.
But I'm afraid the one who ordered the housekeeper to do this wasn't Nie Yao, but Master Li Jiu...
