Chapter 257

After Ye Zhi finished speaking, she turned her head aside and did not speak again.

Nie Jiqing, who was still watching Ye Zhi, asked subconsciously, “Where’s Miss Ye’s family?”

Ye Zhi turned to look at Nie Jiqing.

Nie Jiqing suddenly realized she had asked a somewhat abrupt question.

She laughed nervously, “You carry yourself very well, Miss Ye. I’m just curious as to what kind of family could raise such a good person like you.”

Ye Zhi was silent.

After a long while, Ye Zhi breathed, “My family is gone.”

The adoptive parents of her original body had died, and her biological mother was right next to her, but she did not recognize herself and even took someone else as her daughter.Gét latest novel chapters on nov(e)lbj/n(.)c/om

Nie Jiqing’s heart sank. She opened her mouth to speak, but the words were caught in her throat, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Nie Jiqing took a deep breath, “Sorry.”

“Sheng Man, apologize to Miss Ye.”

The area fell silent at Nie Jiqing’s words.

Nie Jiqing waited for Sheng Man’s apology, Ye Zhi remained indifferent, while Sheng Man bit her lip firmly, anger surging in her heart.

Nie Jiqing had already brought Ye Zhi home, could she not even wait for a moment?

Sheng Man had to apologize to Ye Zhi. She forced herself to accept this reality last night, but she refused to open her mouth when Ye Zhi was now standing before her.

Sheng Man looked at Nie Jiqing, putting out her last, desperate efforts; her tone was very aggrieved when she pleaded, “Mom, I know I was wrong, but Ye Zhi is just an outsider...”

She faintly hoped that Nie Jiqing could save her some embarrassment in front of Ye Zhi.

Ye Zhi had expected this from Sheng Man.

She looked at Nie Jiqing calmly and addressed her quietly, “Mrs. Sheng, since your daughter didn’t mean to apologize, then I will leave...”

Ye Zhi turned around, pretending to leave.

Nie Jiqing stopped her immediately, “Miss Ye, please stay.”

With a smile hidden in Ye Zhi’s eyes, she slowly turned around.

Nie Jiqing looked at Sheng Man, completely indifferent to Sheng Man’s flattering and submission, and said coldly, “What did you promise me yesterday?”
