Chapter 875 Taking Advantage of the Fire
Egypt.
When Nie Yao received her father's call, the archaeological site was in full swing. She couldn't hear her father's voice clearly, so she could only walk away with the phone.
"Dad, what did you say? I didn't hear you clearly!"
"Ayao, are you outside?" Father Nie also heard the noisy voices and machine sounds coming from Nie Yao's side on the phone, and asked with concern.
Nie Yao nodded and answered loudly, "Yes, didn't I tell you before? Our archaeological project has already begun, and we've been quite busy recently..."
"Well, I saw your press conference a while ago..." Father Nie replied with a smile and casually asked, "How is your archaeological project going?"
"Not bad, it went smoothly!" Nie Yao felt that her father's tone seemed a little hesitant, and she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Dad, you called me suddenly, is there something wrong?"
Father Nie murmured a response and slowly said, "Well, your second aunt found out that Nie Jinxi was your second uncle's illegitimate daughter. She made a big scene at home and threatened to divorce your second uncle..."
Having said this, he sighed helplessly.
Nie Yao was not surprised at all about this. Although she didn't like her second aunt very much, looking at her proud and domineering appearance, she knew that it would be strange if her illegitimate daughter didn't make a fuss!
"It's understandable for Second Aunt to do this. After all, Second Uncle has kept the fact of raising an illegitimate daughter a secret from her for too long, and he's been keeping her under his nose. Of course she's angry!"
Nie Yao spoke calmly, not thinking that this matter was worth making a fuss about, or even that it was worth her father calling her to explain it.
Seeing Nie Yao's calm reaction, Father Nie felt even more helpless. He explained with a wry smile, "You're right. It's understandable that she made such a scene, but our Nie family can't afford such a commotion... Your grandfather told you not to tell anyone because he was worried your second aunt would find out. After all, your second uncle and second aunt's marriage was an arranged marriage, and a big fuss would be disastrous for both families!"
Nie Yao shrugged indifferently upon hearing his father's words and said coldly, "I think Second Uncle understands this principle himself. It's a pity that he still can't control his lower body and caused such a disaster!"
Seeing Nie Yao's blunt evaluation of the second son of the Nie family, Nie's father was also stunned. He originally wanted to ask her not to say that, but when he thought about the fact that his daughter was the eldest granddaughter of the Nie family, but was not as good as an illegitimate daughter of the Nie family, and had been suffering outside for the past twenty years, the words of persuasion came to his lips, but he swallowed them back.
"Ayao, your second uncle is indeed wrong in this matter, but now your second aunt is making a fuss at home, insisting on dividing the family property and even planning to take a large portion. This is just taking advantage of the situation!"
Father Nie frowned as he spoke. "So your grandfather asked me to call and ask you to go back whenever it's convenient for you to hold a family meeting to discuss this matter..."
Hearing that this was Grandpa's intention, Nie Yao had already guessed what he meant. He shook his head and smiled faintly, "Dad, I don't think a junior like me can interfere with Second Aunt's request. Besides, I have a lot of archaeological work to do right now. I'm sure you two can work out how to resolve it..."
Seeing Nie Yao's cold refusal and her unwavering attitude towards the division of the family property, Father Nie couldn't help but feel a little angry. He said unhappily, "Ayao, how can you say that? You are also a member of the Nie family, and the eldest granddaughter. Are you going to be an outsider and sit idly by while the family property dispute continues?"
