"I'm going to teach my daughter a lesson. What's wrong with you?"
Father Nie was immediately angered by Xia Tian's words and yelled: "Who do you think you are? You are not worthy of talking to me here. Get out of here."
"Old man, you're looking for a beating, right?"
Xia Tian curled her lips in displeasure.
"You still dare to speak rudely to me, you are so uneducated!"
Nie’s father’s eyes were full of undisguised disgust, and his impatience with Nie Xiaoli became more obvious: “Look at all the friends you have made, they are really vulgar, how can they not be as elegant and polite as Mr. Zhan!
"
Xia Tian lazily said to Nie Xiaoli: "Stewardess wife, is your dad that Mr. Zhan's licking dog?"
"You, you, what did you say!"
Father Nie almost lost his temper and went to heaven. He had lived for more than fifty years, and this was the first time someone dared to say that to him, so he scolded Nie Xiaoli again: "You bitch, you are indifferent when you see others scolding me."
, I don’t have a spoiled daughter like you!”
"Except for forcing me to marry Zhan Wenbin, when have you ever fulfilled your responsibilities as a father?"
Nie Xiaoli also had no feelings for this father, "Besides, if Zhan Wenbin hadn't paid off your gambling debt, you wouldn't have dared to show your face until now."
Nie Xiaoli's father's real name was Nie Changsheng. Although he came from a prominent family in Huangshan, he had been an uneducated playboy since he was a child. He had eaten, drank, prostituted, and gambled, and was a master of the five evils. He had gained a good reputation in vain.
Even after getting married and having a couple of children, he still wanders around outside day and night, not caring about the life and death of his wife and children.
Nie Xiaoli had never seen this father much since he was sensible, and had never enjoyed his father's love. Naturally, he had no feelings for him, and instead felt endless disgust in his heart.
It's just that her mother refuses to divorce this scumbag husband, so she has no choice.
"What do you mean by that!"
Nie Changsheng was poked in the foot, his face turned red, and he shouted angrily: "I am your father, your biological father, you actually said that to me, how unfilial!"
After saying that, he glared at his wife with dissatisfaction and yelled: "You are an old woman, you only know how to watch a show. You are happy that I was scolded by my daughter, aren't you?"
Nie's mother looked very speechless, but she had no choice but to say to Nie Xiaoli: "Xiao Li, today is a happy day, so don't get angry with him."
"That's right! Your father, I found such a good in-law for you, you have to thank me!"
Nie Changsheng couldn't hear the flattery, and he took credit very proudly, "Isn't it better to be the wife of a wealthy family than to be a stewardess?"
"You know how to get angry at your wife and children. You are really a hero."
Nie Xiaoli said calmly: "If you dare to use this tone towards your creditors, then I will still look down upon you."
Nie Changsheng was so angry that his mouth twisted. He pointed at Nie Xiaoli and opened his mouth to curse.
"Okay, just stop saying a few words."
Mother Nie quickly tried to persuade her: "Don't be angry, everyone, business is more important."
Nie Xiaoli looked puzzled: "Business, what business?"
"Husband, tell me."
Mother Nie hesitated for a moment, then turned to Nie Changsheng for help.
Nie Changsheng sneered at this time and said unhappily: "Now that I remember that I am here, the things are at your place, and the superiors also ordered them to be given to you. Of course you are the one who said they have nothing to do with me."
As he spoke, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms, lit them without hesitation, and started smoking.
"Smoking is not allowed here. If you want to smoke, go to the special smoking area!"
Nie Xiaoli frowned slightly and said dissatisfied.
"You're so pretentious!"
Nie Changsheng's anger was ignited again, and he yelled: "I'm going to smoke here, what's wrong?"
Ning Ruichen couldn't help but sarcastically said at this time: "Just now you said that others have no quality, it seems that your own quality is not very good either.
Don’t smoke in public, this is common sense and the most basic respect for others!”
"Little bastard, are you looking for a beating?"
Nie Changsheng held a cigarette between his fingers and glared at Ning Ruichen fiercely: "I just smoked, what can you do to me!"
Nie Changsheng sucked the butt of the cigarette, took a long drag, opened his mouth and was about to spray it at Ning Ruichen.
"You like smoking, right? That's good enough."
Xia Tian said with a smile.
"Cough cough cough -" As a result, the smoke did not come out, but was choked into the trachea. He immediately started coughing violently, and his whole face turned into a mask of pain.
"I told you to smoke less, but you just didn't listen. Now you're choking."
Nie's mother was so distressed that she immediately stepped forward to help and helped Nie Changsheng leave temporarily.
"Xiao Li, how come you have such a wonderful father?"
Ning Ruichen shook his head and said to Xia Tian.
Nie Xiaoli couldn't help but sigh: "Forget it, let's not talk about him."
Xia Tian lazily said: "This is not considered the best, it can only be regarded as an ordinary idiot."
"Well, is there any more wonderful thing?"
Ning Ruichen said with some surprise.
"Yes, you are."
Xia Tian replied casually.
Ning Ruichen was stunned for a moment, then laughed awkwardly: "Brother-in-law, why are you kidding me?"
"I never joke."
Xia Tian said with a nonchalant expression, "But whether you are weird or not has nothing to do with me, and I am too lazy to pursue it."
Nie Xiaoli listened to their conversation and felt a little confused: "What are you talking about?"
"nothing."
Ning Ruichen chuckled and brushed off the topic.
At this time, Mother Nie came back alone. After entering the door, Chi Ying paused and said to Xia Tian and Ning Ruichen: "You are Xiao Li's friends, I'm sorry. I have some secret things that I need to discuss with you."
Xiao Li, please tell me, can you two please step aside?"
Ning Ruichen said directly: "Auntie, you're welcome. We'll go out right now and you can have a nice chat."
Xia Tian didn't speak, but glanced at Nie Xiaoli.
"Then you go outside to eat something first."
Nie Xiaoli didn't know what her mother wanted to say, but she thought it was something more important, so she said to Xia Tian and Ning Ruichen, "I'll talk to my mother for a while."
Xia Tian said casually: "Stewardess, if anything happens, just call me."
"What do you mean..." Nie Xiaoli was a little confused.
"Haha, I'm kidding."
Mother Nie's eyes changed slightly, and she quickly regained her composure and said, "How can I still harm my own daughter?"
Xia Tian curled his lips: "That's not necessarily the case."
"Xia Tian, you go out first."
Between her biological mother and Xia Tian, Nie Xiaoli naturally stood by her biological mother and said to Xia Tian: "Although I am very grateful for your protection, please respect my mother."
Xia Xia just yawned and took Ning Ruichen out of the room.
"Mom, I'm sorry, Xia Tian's character is like this, please don't be angry."
Nie Xiaoli still defended Xia Tian, and then asked: "What do you want to say to me?"
Mother Nie held Xiao Li's hand, slowly sat on the sofa, and sighed: "Mom is not angry, that young man does seem to have a bad temper, but at least he really cares about you.
But do you know his origins?"
"Actually, I just met him and I don't know much about him."
Nie Xiaoli shook his head: "But he is Ning Ruirui's... friend, so there shouldn't be any problem."
"Oh, Miss Ning is a good person, and her friends are trustworthy."
Mother Nie was silent for a few seconds, and then started to get to the point: "Xiao Li, you also know that our Nie family is an ancient family with a history of thousands of years, and there are always some archaic rules for the continuation of the family.
Outsiders may sneer at this, but we can’t, because we have only survived to this day by relying on it.”
A suspicious look formed on Nie Xiaoli's pretty face: "Mom, what exactly do you want to say?
Why does it sound weird? Did the clan leader force you to do something again?"
"That's not true."
Nie's mother shook her head, then took out a piece of black ancient jade from her arms and handed it to Nie Xiaoli's hand: "This is the blood jade passed down from the ancestors of the Nie family. It has always been passed down from female to male. Now it is passed on to you."
Nie Xiaoli glanced at the blood jade in his hand, which was about the size of a palm. There were six eyes painted on it, five of which were open and formed a circle.
There is also an eye in the middle of the circle, which is closed.
Nie Xiaoli suddenly came to his senses: "Mom, since it is passed down from female to male, how can it be passed down from ancestors? If it is passed down once, it is just a foreign surname."
"It's normal for you to have this doubt."
Nie's mother chuckled twice, and then explained: "Because this jade has to be taken back, you can only keep it for half a year, and then it will be sent back to your parents' home and put in the Nie family's feeding hall."
"Then what's the point?"
Nie Xiaoli was still puzzled.
"I don't know what the meaning is."
Mother Nie did not explain this part, but turned to other things, "Take this piece of blood jade, and every seven days, take a drop of your husband's blood and put it into the eye in the middle of the blood jade."
Nie Xiaoli was startled, thinking of something bad, and asked: "Mom, what are you doing?"
"Don't ask what you want to do, just do it."
Mother Nie patted Nie Xiaoli's hand solemnly, "Only in this way can we save your life, and don't let anyone find out."
"Mom, what on earth are you..." Nie Xiaoli couldn't feel at ease and continued to ask: "Did the clan elders ask you to give it to me?"
"They gave me the things, but I found the method myself."
A tangled look appeared on Mother Nie's face, "Don't ask, Mom can't tell, but as long as you do what you do, you can at least save your life."
The doubts in Nie Xiaoli's mind deepened. She originally thought it was just an ordinary engagement party. The old people in the family were interested in the Zhan family's money and forced her to marry Zhan Wenbin. Now it seems that it is more than that.
.
"Little Li, have you ever wondered why you were always poisoned when you were a child, but you never died from the poison?"
Mother Nie suddenly spoke again at this time.
"Yes, this problem has always troubled me."
Nie Xiaoli nodded, "Mom, do you know the reason?"
Mother Nie's face suddenly showed a tangled look again, and she hesitated whether to say it or not.
At this time, Xia Tian's unique lazy voice sounded in the room: "Of course she knows, because she was the one who administered the poison."
