Chapter 622: Absent-minded
She must have heard it right. This Nie Jinxi actually called the second uncle of the Nie family "Dad"?
Furthermore, Second Uncle Nie did not deny this title. Instead, he said a lot to Nie Jinxi...
She had always been suspicious of Nie Jinxi's background, and even thought that Nie Jinxi was her father's illegitimate daughter. Otherwise, there was no reason why Nie Yao, the real daughter, was brought back, and Nie Jinxi, a fake daughter, could continue to stay in the Nie family!
Now it seems that everything is explained...
Nie Jinxi is not her father’s illegitimate daughter, but her second uncle’s illegitimate daughter!
This news was so explosive that Lin Anqi couldn't digest it for a while!
There was still noise coming from the guest room. Lin Anqi was afraid that Uncle Nie would catch her eavesdropping outside the door, so she turned around and left without waiting for Uncle Nie to come out. She didn't even take the elevator and hurried down the stairs.
In the banquet hall downstairs, Nie Yao was having a buffet with her cousin Yu Wanqing, chatting occasionally, when she saw Lin Anqi hurried over, with a look of shock clearly written on her face.
"Lin Anqi, what's wrong with you? It's like you saw a ghost?" Yu Wanqing asked in confusion when she saw Lin Anqi's expression.
Nie Yao also looked at Lin Anqi. Seeing that she was indeed a little distracted, she asked with concern, "Lin Anqi, have you had dinner? Do you want anything to eat?"
However, she called Lin Anqi twice, but Lin Anqi did not respond.
It was Yu Wanqing who gently nudged Lin Anqi's shoulder before she finally reacted. Meeting Nie Yao and Yu Wanqing's inquiring gazes, she hesitantly asked, "What did you say?"
"We asked you if you had dinner?" Yu Wanqing said this and then asked jokingly, "Where have you been? We didn't see you just now!"
"I just felt a little stuffy in the room, so I went out for some fresh air..." Lin Anqi made up an excuse and looked at Nie Yao, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
Seeing her looking at him like that, Nie Yao seemed to want to say something. He put down the plate and asked jokingly, "Lin Anqi, do you want to tell me something?"
"I..." Lin Anqi hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Yu Wanqing beside her, but finally shook her head and swallowed back what she was about to say.
Nie Yao definitely wouldn't know about such an explosive thing, and it's even more impossible for Yu's cousin to know!
If she hadn't accidentally overheard it, she would have been kept in the dark...
If she told this to Nie Yao and Yu Wanqing now, Nie Yao would definitely question Nie's father, and her cousin Yu Wanqing could not stand secrets and would shout about them everywhere!
Although she really wanted to see everyone pointing at Nie Jinxi's nose and calling her an illegitimate daughter, she was worried that if the news got out, Grandpa Nie and her father would know that it was she who said it, and they would never let her return to the Nie family!
"Lin Anqi, why are you hesitating? This is not like your character!" Yu Wanqing waved her hand in front of her and reminded her with a smile.
"It's nothing. I'm going to find my mother. You guys take your time eating..." Lin Anqi came back to her senses, smiled apologetically at Nie Yao and Yu Wanqing, then turned and left them.
Nie Yao and Yu Wanqing looked at each other, watching her leave with a heavy heart, and couldn't help shaking their heads in amusement.
"This Lin Anqi is really weird. I don't know what happened to her that makes her so hesitant to speak!" Yu Wanqing said in a low voice.
"I don't know. Could it be that he was scared by Nie Jinxi?" Nie Yao shrugged and joked with a smile.
