Holding the somewhat distraught Lan Yun in his arms, Kong Sang said calmly, "Dad can hear everything, you don't need to contact him."
Under Nie Yan's stunned gaze, Kong Sang lit up the big screen.
The familiar figure who kept up the video call was imprinted in everyone's eyes.
He wore a pure white research base work uniform, sat upright behind his desk, his hair was a little unkempt, but it did not affect his handsome face. He looked about five parts like Nie Jingxing, and his temples were a little gray, which added to his charm after years of experience.
His deep eyes swept over everyone, and his harsh words made the socialites who had been humiliated turn pale.
"Dad, I wanted to give the family a surprise, but it turned out to be a shock. I'm too naive and someone's been targeting me. The things I was investigating have been leaked by someone..."
At this point, she choked up and shed tears: "It's one thing for outsiders not to believe me, but even my younger brother... wouldn't listen to a single explanation from me, and just concluded that I wanted to take the position of the Nie family's daughter."
"Dad, things have come to this, I'd better leave the Nie family. I don't want to live under someone else's identity."
Nie Yan was dumbfounded... completely stunned on the spot, what was going on?
Nie Qu's face was cold, and his voice was icy as he said, "What nonsense are you talking about? From the day I brought you back to the Nie family, you have been my daughter, and no one can change that."
Even Xiao Cha's legs went weak at this, she hadn't expected this outcome...
"Since everyone is here, I will make things clear to prevent gossip from spreading."
The crowd echoed in agreement, pretending to listen attentively; some even took out paper and pens to take notes—this was Nie Qu's status.
"My wife had a difficult childbirth when our daughter was born. I chose to save her life, but the baby died shortly after birth. My wife was devastated and became mentally unstable."
"That night, there was another woman in the hospital who was also having a difficult childbirth without an identity registration. The difference was that the child was alive, but the mother was gone, and no one claimed the child. So I took the child back to the Nie family and said that the madam's child had been rescued."
"This child is Kongsang. His family was unaware of it. Kongsang happened to find out about his background some time ago and contacted me immediately."
"I explained the situation clearly, but this child is convinced that Miss Yu is likely the child who died young, and has been secretly investigating the matter. I was planning to deal with it when I finished my work, but this whole thing has turned out like this..."
His gaze, though not imposing, swept across the room, yet some people unconsciously straightened their backs.
Nie Qu said firmly, "I will only say this once: Nie Kongsang is the eldest daughter of the Nie family, and this identity will never change. I hope that you will all take care of my daughter out of consideration for me."
"Those families that look down on my child should not do business with the Nie family in the future."
Xiao Cha and the socialites' expressions changed drastically. It was all over. What awaited them when they got home?
Everyone readily agreed, but when their gazes swept over Yu Wei, a strange look appeared on their faces. It was clear that the Nie family head highly valued the fake heiress, leaving the real heiress in an awkward position…
"Miss Yu, it is a fact that you are my and my wife's daughter. Although we do not know how you survived, we feel indebted to you. Would you be willing to return to the Nie family and become Sister Sang?"
Sister! The crowd's expressions varied; this was an implicit acceptance that the fake heiress was overshadowing the real heiress…
It is well known that the larger the family, the more they value the eldest son and eldest daughter. The moment the word "sister" was mentioned, everyone had already determined the identities of the two women.
Yu Wei's eyes flickered slightly: "I've lived alone since I was little, so naturally I long for family."
No one was surprised by this answer; for a family like the Nie family, not responding would be insane.
Nie Qu nodded: "Go back to the Nie family first and settle in. I will come back in a month to host your introduction meeting. As for Nie Yan... get out and kneel for a night."
Lan Yun was startled and immediately released Kong Sang, saying urgently, "Brother Qu, A Yan's leg injury hasn't healed yet, he can't kneel. He was just startled, he didn't mean to hurt A Sang."
"You still protect him? Do you really think I don't know what he's done all these years? Disrespecting his elder sister, secretly persecuting her—have you ever interfered in any of these things?"
"What was Jingxing doing when he was his age? How could my Nie Qu's child produce such a wicked child? Guards, drag him away. He is not allowed to get up before dawn."
A group of men in black immediately appeared in the villa and dragged Nie Yan, whose legs were still crippled, off the wheelchair like a dead dog. Nie Yan, unable to move his lower body, lay on the expensive carpet and clung tightly to Kong Sang's ankle: "Sister!"
The boy's eyes were red, as if he were filled with immense sorrow, making it impossible to bear to hurt him in the slightest.
Unfortunately, this is just the surface. Once you peel back the disguise, the inside is already rotten and a mass of rotten flesh.
Kong Sang let out an "Ah!" as if her high heels had been pulled too hard, causing her to lose her balance and fall heavily to the ground. Her wrist was scraped and bled quickly.
Nie Qu was furious. He slammed his fist on the table and stood up, saying, "Insolence! Stubborn fool! Kneel until dawn and bring the person to the base. I want to see what you've learned all these years."
Kong Sang's lips curled into a subtle smile as he looked at his beloved father, his face dark with anger as he hung up the video call.
Now that's good. She hadn't seen her dear brother for a long time, and thinking about the unbearable days at the base, she felt genuinely happy that Nie Yan would have to endure them instead.
But this joy quickly dissipated.
A tall figure appeared before her without her noticing, and in front of everyone, he supported her bare back, picked her up horizontally, and carried her upstairs.
He seemed born high above, like a king, and disdained to explain his thoughts to anyone.
The crowd's eyes flickered. They had long heard that Nie Jingxing was stern and unsmiling, but he was exceptionally caring towards the eldest daughter of the Nie family. Before, it didn't seem like anything special since they were just like siblings, but now... there was a hint of something romantic about it...
Lin Changli's eyes were cold as he gave Yu Wei a look.
Yu Wei smiled wryly. Facing Nie Jingxing on the very first day was incredibly stressful for her, her "real sister"...
Nie Jingxing carried her into the room. As always, he was not one to say much. He took care of her wounds and wrapped them in waterproof silk.
water proof?
Kong Sang felt uneasy, but dared not truly provoke Nie Jingxing; a manic episode was terrifying...
Despite Nie Jingxing dragging her to the bathroom, the warm shower water washed her entire body, soaking half of his suit jacket, but he still carefully washed away all her makeup.
Then she tore open her bright red strapless dress, and before her clothes fell off, Kong Sang stood in the shower where she couldn't open her eyes, mustering her courage to refuse: "I don't want to!"
Even knowing that Nie Jingxing had changed, the fear from the past would not subside in a short time.
Her wet, long hair clung to her curvaceous body, a disheveled yet undeniably beautiful sight, and her trembling body made Nie Jingxing stop.
Pinching Kong Sang's delicate face in the water, Nie Jingxing's deep eyes gradually filled with intense desire. He lowered his head to kiss her, but a knock on the door interrupted his actions...
When Nie Jingxing left, Kong Sang was crying in the water, clutching her tattered red dress, as if that could wash away the disgust and humiliation.
Hearing the crying as he climbed in through the window, Lin Changli's deep blue eyes grew even more intense. He paused at the bathroom door for a moment, then resolutely opened it...
