Chapter 647 Nie Xiao's Doubts
"Of course not..." Nie Yao quickly waved his hand and smiled. Li Jinxing was also pleased by his address of "brother-in-law", and the corners of his lips rose slightly.
"Since you are Yaoyao's younger brother, you can live here as long as you want. This privilege is not available to other members of the Nie family!"
After Li Jinxing finished speaking, Nie Xiao also laughed and politely bowed to Li Jinxing to express his gratitude.
"Thank you for your kindness, brother-in-law, but I'm staying here mainly to resolve my own doubts..."
Nie Xiao said this, then looked at Nie Yao and asked in a deep voice, "Cousin, what did you mean by that? Why did you say that my father cared about her? Why did my father care about her?"
He stared at Nie Yao, wanting to get a definite answer.
Nie Yao was stunned. She hadn't expected him to take her words so seriously. She didn't know how to explain this to Nie Xiao, so she could only smile awkwardly and reply, "Nie Jinxi is favored in the Nie family. Every elder cares about her. Isn't that normal?"
"It's normal for grandpa and uncle to care about her, but it's not normal for my dad to care about her..."
Nie Xiao shook his head, not being fooled by Nie Yao's words. His brows furrowed slightly. "Sister, are you hiding something from me?"
Faced with Nie Xiao's questioning, Nie Yao could only remain silent. Li Jinxing saw this and held Nie Yao's hand. He said to Nie Xiao calmly, "Nie Xiao, you shouldn't question your cousin. She's only been back home for a short time. How much can she possibly know about the Nie family?"
Without waiting for Nie Xiao to answer, Li Jinxing continued, "If you really want to know the private affairs of your Nie family, you should ask your father or your grandfather. It would be better for them to tell you these things in person!"
"If there really is a secret, they wouldn't tell me..." Nie Xiao shook his head and sneered. Seeing Nie Yao's silent reaction and Li Jinxing's meaningful words, a great possibility emerged in his mind.
This possibility had actually been buried in his heart before. He had wanted to verify it several times, but he was worried about hurting his mother, so he never did it!
Now his cousin's reaction and the words she just said indirectly confirmed that his guess was not groundless!
Nie Xiao thought about this, shook his head and laughed at himself, then said to Nie Yao, "Cousin, I won't force you anymore, but I will verify it myself..."
He was about to turn and leave after saying this. Nie Yao was still a little worried and called out to him, "Nie Xiao, you—"
Nie Xiao stopped and turned to look at Nie Yao. Seeing the worried expression on her face, he curled his lips slightly and said with a faint smile, "Cousin, there's no need to say more. The scene I experienced in high school was much more dangerous than this. I've already adapted to it. What else is there that I can't accept now?"
Seeing Nie Xiao's resolute words, Nie Yao didn't know what to say. She could only nod and whisper, "Okay, I won't stop you from doing anything. However, the people and things involved in this matter are not that simple. If you encounter any problems, remember to come to me! Even if I don't return to the Nie family, I'm still your cousin!"
After all this, Nie Yao also realized that when Nie Xiao was in high school, he was almost kicked out of the Nie family because he was isolated and helpless, with only a mother who didn't really believe in him...
