Chapter 872: Breaking the Disguise
Seeing that Elder Nie mentioned the ancestral property, Cui Zhen did not hesitate and said coldly: "Elder Nie, I was anxious for you to come to the meeting today just to discuss this matter..."
She paused at this point, then spoke in a deep voice, word by word, "I married Nie Guanglin, and was deceived by him for so many years. I was blind. I can't control you, Nie Jinxi, the bastard, if you want to stay in the Nie family, but you should compensate my son!"
Elder Nie was stunned for a moment, then asked hesitantly, "Are you talking about Nie Xiao? He's still studying abroad and hasn't graduated yet..."
"Yes, Xiao'er did not graduate, but he has always been a good student and will come back to inherit the family business in the future!"
Cui Zhen raised his chin slightly and sneered, "Xiao'er had a bright future back then, but because of one incident, you sent him abroad to study. Now he'll be back soon after completing his studies, and it's time for him to take over the Nie family's business!"
"Xiao'er has no experience at all..." Nie Guanglin said hesitantly.
At this moment, Nie Jinxi whispered a reminder, "Aunt Cui, have you forgotten that Nie Xiao was caught by Grandpa for playing with men before? Grandpa was worried that he would cause a scandal, so he sent him away..."
As soon as this matter was mentioned, Cui Zhen slapped Nie Jinxi, making her take two steps back.
"Aunt Cui, why did you hit me for no reason?" Nie Jinxi covered her slapped cheek with her hands. A layer of mist instantly appeared in her eyes. She looked at Cui Zhen in disbelief.
"If you have something to say, talk it over nicely. Why are you hitting the child?" Nie Guanglin felt sorry for his daughter. He glared at his wife unhappily and then, mustering up the courage to say, "If you're angry, just come to me. Why take it out on an innocent child?"
Seeing him protecting Nie Jinxi, Cui Zhen grew even angrier. She gritted her teeth and said, "Innocent? Xiao'er has been the pride of our family since she was little. And then something scandalous happened. Who knows if someone deliberately framed her? Ever since that bastard Nie Jinxi entered the Nie family, we've had no peace. First it was Xiao'er, then it was Lin Anqi..."
She looked at Nie Jinxi with a sharp gaze. Nie Jinxi's cheek was swollen and painful from being slapped. She was very angry with Cui Zhen in her heart, but when she was looked at by her in such a way, she couldn't help but take a step back in fear and could only pretend to be aggrieved.
"Aunt Cui, how can you say that? Just because I'm not your daughter, you're going to put all the blame on me?"
"Nie Jinxi, don't play innocent in front of me. You deceived me all those years ago!" Cui Zhen couldn't stand her pretending to be pitiful and sneered, "Your mother is a bitch. She seduced my husband and gave birth to a bastard like you. You and your daughter are both not good people!"
Nie Jinxi was so angry that she was shaking. Her mother had never dared to appear in public, and yet she had to be humiliated by Cui Zhen like this...
She originally wanted to be humble, but she had been humble enough before. Now that she was humiliated by Cui Zhen, she didn't want to continue to be humble!
"Aunt Cui, don't forget, I'm older than Nie Xiao. My mother and father truly loved each other. They weren't the bitches you claim they were. It's just that she didn't have your social status or your good family background. Otherwise, they would have been married long ago. How could you have gotten married then?"
"Okay, you--" Cui Zhen raised her hand angrily, wishing she could slap her again. She knew that what Nie Jinxi said now was what was in her heart!
