2155 The Xie Family Lost a Great Backer
Xie Tingyun made things clear. âMom, Iâm a married daughter. Back then, when I married Tianyi, I didnât take a single cent from the Xie family. Now, our assets have nothing to do with you. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIt doesnât matter if you agree or not. Todayâs matter will stop here. I wonât come back if thereâs a next time.â
âYou!â The old lady was furious, and her blood pressure soared again.
Mother Xie hurriedly went over to pat the old ladyâs chest and said disapprovingly, âTingyun, what are you doing? You clearly know that Momâs health isnât good, but youâre still angry at her. Canât you talk about it later? Weâre family. That Qiao Nian is just an outsider.â
She had said this more than once, but this was the first time Xie Tingyun was so disgusted. She almost did not give the old lady any face as she retorted, âSister-in-law, since I acknowledge Nian Nian as my goddaughter, sheâs no different from my daughter. I hope you can respect yourself!
âI donât want to fuss about whatâs going on with todayâs farce! But Iâm not a fool. Iâll only tell you one thingâeven if I, Xie Tingyun, donât have the fortune to give birth to a son or a daughter in my life, Iâm the one who decides whatâs mine. Iâm not dead yet. Itâs not up to others to distribute my assets!
âWhoever dares to play tricks on me like this again and even sow discord between me and my family behind my back, donât blame me for being rude!
âThe Xie family still has elders and relatives. I can call them all and let them see if our family is going to let an âoutsiderâ make the decision.â
Xie Tingyunâs every word was like a slap to Mother Xieâs face. Mother Xie had never been in such a sorry state.
Her sister-in-law did not actually scold or insult her with profanities. Her face was red, but she did not know what to say.
It was rare for Xie Tingyun to be angry. No one in the ward dared to provoke her.
Xie Yun could usually persuade her, but today, she did not say anything. Obviously, she was on Xie Tingyunâs side. However, she was still worried about Xie Tingyunâs health and said, âDonât be too angry. Iâll talk to Mom for you later.â
Xie Tingyun was already mentally and physically exhausted. With Nan Tianyiâs help, she said to the old lady on the bed, âMom, Nian Nian is the daughter of my best friend. I really acknowledge her. Even though you canât dote on her as much as the Xie familyâs children, I hope you wonât disturb her again.
âIâll forget about what happened today. However, if you do this again in the future, just pretend that you never gave birth to an unfilial daughter like me!â
The old ladyâs face turned pale, and she opened her mouth to speak.
However, Xie Tingyun was no longer in the mood to listen to her. She gently raised her hand and patted Nan Tianyiâs hand, then said in a low voice, âIâm tired. Letâs go home.â
âOkay, letâs go home.â Nan Tianyiâs straight face was filled with heartache. He did not even look at the Xie family as he held his wifeâs arm and walked out of the ward step by step.
The two of them disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Only then did Xie Yun turn around and look at the dejected old lady with her phoenix eyes. She lowered her head and whispered into her ear, âActually, Qiao Nian isâ¦â
At first, the old lady only regretted her impulsiveness. Now, her expression changed drastically, and her face turned pale and stunned. âYouâre talking about her!â
This time, Old Madam Xie completely collapsed on the bed. Thick regret could be found in her eyesâ¦
She did not expect the water behind Qiao Nian to be so deep. It actually involved the direct line of descent of the Ji family.
