Chapter 871: Passed down from generation to generation
Seeing Cui Zhen addressing him directly as "Old Nie" instead of "father," Old Nie felt a sense of foreboding. He wanted only to calm her anger, so he slowly said, "Ah Zhen, I didn't mean to hide this from you. It's just that Guanglin is such a disappointment. When he was young and impulsive, he fell for someone else's trick and ended up with a child like this..."
When he said this, he sighed and his tone became more helpless.
"After all, the child is innocent, and she is also the bloodline of our Nie family. Our Nie family is a large and historic family after all. How can we let a child with our bloodline wander around outside? If she gets out, it would be a joke on us. So I took the initiative to let her stay in the Nie family. I didn't want to affect your relationship, so I didn't tell you until now. Now, I, an old man, have to take the blame with you!"
Old Nie even wanted to stand up and apologize to his second daughter-in-law Cui Zhen, but was quickly supported by Nie's father.
Nie Guanglin felt a little ashamed. Although he was afraid of his daughter-in-law, he didn't ask his father to apologize on his behalf. He quickly stopped Old Nie and said to Cui Zhen, "I was wrong about this. If you want to hit or scold me, come to me. Don't embarrass my father!"
Nie Jinxi, who had originally been angrily scolded by Cui Zhen as a bastard, also found an opportunity at this time and whispered, "Yes, Second Aunt... Oh, no, Aunt Cui, I know you are very angry, but Grandpa is old, you can do whatever you want to me. For Grandpa's sake, please don't make a scene at home..."
Cui Zhen looked coldly at Old Man Nie, her husband, and her illegitimate daughter Nie Jinxi, who were all pleading with her. This retreat-to-advance tactic made her want to sneer.
"I really didn't expect that all of you have such amazing acting skills. It turns out that this has been passed down from generation to generation!"
Cui Zhen sneered, her tone full of sarcasm: "You guys are acting like you're pitying me, as if I'm the one who made the mistake!"
After she said this, Mr. Nie, Nie Guanglin and Nie Jinxi were stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Nie Jinxi wanted to say something, but Nie Guanglin quietly pressed the back of her hand, indicating that it was not appropriate for her to speak at this time, otherwise it would add fuel to the fire.
"Ah Zhen..." Old Nie sighed, looking at his second daughter-in-law with a pleasant expression, and whispered, "I know you have resentment and dissatisfaction in your heart, and Guanglin has learned a lesson. But considering that our two families are old friends, can you forgive him this time..."
He added with a smile, "Of course, I won't let you suffer in vain! I still have a ancestral inheritance, which I originally planned to divide equally among my children after my death. Now I'm giving it to you... If you agree, I'll call a lawyer over right away to sign the transfer agreement!"
"Dad—" Nie Guanglin called out to his father in surprise, and said in disbelief, "That's your ancestral property. How can you just give it away like that?"
"Yes, Dad, you should think about it again. After all, it was left by our ancestors..." Father Nie couldn't help but whispered a word of advice.
Nie Jinxi didn't dare to speak, her brows subconsciously frowned, and her hands clenched nervously. She didn't know that her grandfather had a large ancestral inheritance, but now seeing her father's reaction, it seems that this ancestral inheritance is very valuable!
Is Grandpa really going to give the valuable ancestral property to Cui Zhen, the woman who just scolded him?
