Chapter 890 Courage
Nie Yao smiled faintly, put down the water cup, and said to her father, "Don't worry, Dad. My progress is going smoothly, but it will take a long time..."
Upon hearing this, Father Nie quickly asked with concern, "How long will it take?"
"It's hard to say, maybe as little as one or two years, or as much as five years or more..." Nie Yao answered honestly.
"It took so long..." Father Nie sighed softly, his brows slowly furrowed, and a layer of faint sadness covered his face.
Seeing her father's expression, Nie Yao vaguely guessed that he was worried about the Nie family's fortune. She asked with concern, "Dad, what's going on with my Second Aunt trying to split up the family? I just heard Assistant Mei say something on the way back..."
"Your second aunt has always been quite strong-willed. Plus, your second uncle was originally in the wrong, so when the illegitimate daughter's incident happened, your grandfather planned to use some of the family inheritance to compensate him!"
Father Nie sighed softly when he said this.
"But Second Aunt doesn't agree with the compensation given by Grandpa, so she insists on divorce and dividing the family property?" Nie Yao asked with raised eyebrows.
"That's right, she even took out the divorce agreement, and she has her own plan for how to divide it!"
Father Nie nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Actually, logically speaking, your grandfather only has two sons, your second uncle and me, so it's understandable that he would split the property in half. However, your second uncle squandered some of the Nie family's assets, and I manage most of the remaining assets. If I divide them now, I'm afraid it will be a big blow to the Nie family!"
"I've also heard about this from Assistant Mei..." Nie Yao nodded and said hesitantly, "I don't know much about these businesses, but if Second Aunt is really doing this for Nie Xiao, we can discuss it properly when Nie Xiao comes back..."
"I hope so. However, Nie Xiao made a mistake and was kicked out of school. I'm afraid he'll come back this time with hatred in his heart and join his mother in a fight!"
Father Nie frowned slightly and said worriedly.
"No, I've talked to Nie Xiao before, and he's not that kind of person..." Nie Yao gave his father a comforting smile and said with certainty, "I believe in Nie Xiao's character, and he wasn't kicked out before because of anything wrong, but there must be something else going on!"
"Is there something else going on?" Father Nie was stunned. He remembered that the second son's wife had said the same thing before, and asked in confusion, "Ayao, why do you say that? When Nie Xiao got into trouble, you weren't at the Nie family..."
"Dad, I'm not at the Nie family, but Nie Jinxi is here!" Nie Yao's lips curled slightly, and he reminded her with a low laugh, "Don't you think that what happened to Nie Xiao back then is exactly the same as Lin Anqi's previous ** incident?"
"You mean..." Father Nie didn't even dare to think further when he said this, but his face had changed.
Although Nie Jinxi is not his biological daughter, he has raised her for many years. If it was really Nie Jinxi who did it, this child is too terrible!
"Does she really have the courage to do these things?" Father Nie murmured, still a little bit unbelieving.
"She's more courageous than you and Grandpa give her credit for!" Nie Yao shrugged and sneered, "Besides, don't forget, even if she doesn't dare, she still has her biological mother behind her. Who wants to take the throne the most and take advantage of this opportunity to seize the Nie family's wealth the most?"
Father Nie's brows furrowed even more tightly, and at this moment, there was a knock on the door of the ward.
