Chapter 922 Gathering
The Nie family's old house.
At the call of Elder Nie, all members of the Nie family arrived one after another, except for Cui Zhen and Nie Xiao, mother and son.
Mr. Nie originally wanted everyone to get together for dinner first and then discuss the division of the family property, but Cui Zhen directly refused, and the dinner was not held.
Nie Yao and Li Jinxing also came to the Nie family's old house after dinner. Seeing that Nie Yao still had an injury on her foot, the housekeeper quickly arranged a comfortable seat for her.
Li Jinxing sat next to Nie Yao, waiting for Cui Zhen and Nie Xiao. Nie Guanglin, the second son of the Nie family, hadn't expected Li Jinxing to come, and wanted to take this opportunity to get close to Mr. Li Jiu...
But no matter what Nie Guanglin said, Li Jinxing answered very coldly. Nie Guanglin could only look embarrassed and did not continue to move forward, which would have made him feel bored.
Nie Jinxi stood aside, watching her father being embarrassed in front of Master Li Jiu, and then compared it with Li Jinxing's various regards for Nie Yao, she felt even more uncomfortable.
Her mother hadn't yet ascended to power and was still hoping to please her father, but her father, in turn, was trying to please Nie Yao's fiancé...
It was obvious that she was raised in a wealthy family since she was a child, and Nie Yao was just a wild girl who was brought back just now, but now she has become the most glamorous one!
Lin Anqi, who was standing aside, was observing Nie Jinxi's expression and happened to see her sour look. A sneer appeared on the corner of her lips. If her mother had not stopped her and forbade her to talk nonsense on this occasion, she would have mocked Nie Jinxi again!
"That's strange! Didn't Nie Xiao come back a long time ago? Why haven't he and Cui Zhen arrived yet?" Father Nie checked the time. It was already completely dark, and the mother and son hadn't arrived yet. He frowned and urged his brother, "Didn't you say you called them?"
"I called, they said they would come..." Nie Guanglin nodded quickly and answered with a wry smile.
"What are these mother and son doing? Are they trying to stand us up?" Mother Lin, who was sitting next to Father Nie, couldn't help but complain in a low voice.
"Everyone's time is precious, and Grandpa needs to rest early..." Nie Yao also glanced at the time and whispered, "I'll call Nie Xiao and ask!"
"Okay!" Father Nie nodded. Nie Yao took out his cell phone and started calling Nie Xiao, asking when they would arrive.
The call ended quickly. Nie Yao smiled and said to everyone present, including Elder Nie, "Nie Xiao said they are on their way and will be here soon!"
"That's good..." Father Nie breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to gather everyone together with great difficulty, only to have his sister-in-law Cui Zhen suddenly change her mind and not want to come back to the Nie family to discuss the division of the family property!
"The last time our Nie family gathered together like this was when A Yao came back..." Mother Lin couldn't help but sigh softly.
Father Nie nodded silently, while Elder Nie frowned slightly and said with some displeasure, "The family should have been gathered together, but someone disobeyed and did something they shouldn't have done, which is why we have to gather together today to discuss the division of the family property!"
Nie Guanglin, the second son of the Nie family, knew that his father was criticizing him, and touched his hair guiltily, while Lin's mother also lowered her head guiltily.
Because after she found out about this matter, she reported it to Cui Zhen!
Old Nie is such a shrewd person, I'm afraid he has vaguely guessed something...
