2155 The Xie Family Lost a Great Backer

Xie Tingyun made things clear. “Mom, I’m a married daughter. Back then, when I married Tianyi, I didn’t take a single cent from the Xie family. Now, our assets have nothing to do with you.

“I’ve discussed it with Tianyi. We want to hand all of this to Nian Nian.

“It doesn’t matter if you agree or not. Today’s matter will stop here. I won’t come back if there’s a next time.”

“You!” The old lady was furious, and her blood pressure soared again.

Mother Xie hurriedly went over to pat the old lady’s chest and said disapprovingly, “Tingyun, what are you doing? You clearly know that Mom’s health isn’t good, but you’re still angry at her. Can’t you talk about it later? We’re family. That Qiao Nian is just an outsider.”

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, “Sister-in-law, since I acknowledge Nian Nian as my goddaughter, she’s no different from my daughter. I hope you can respect yourself!

“I don’t want to fuss about what’s going on with today’s farce! But I’m not a fool. I’ll only tell you one thing—even if I, Xie Tingyun, don’t have the fortune to give birth to a son or a daughter in my life, I’m the one who decides what’s mine. I’m not dead yet. It’s not up to others to distribute my assets!

“Whoever dares to play tricks on me like this again and even sow discord between me and my family behind my back, don’t blame me for being rude!

“The Xie family still has elders and relatives. I can call them all and let them see if our family is going to let an ‘outsider’ make the decision.”

Xie Tingyun’s every word was like a slap to Mother Xie’s 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 Tingyun’s side. However, she was still worried about Xie Tingyun’s health and said, “Don’t be too angry. I’ll talk to Mom for you later.”

Xie Tingyun was already mentally and physically exhausted. With Nan Tianyi’s help, she said to the old lady on the bed, “Mom, Nian Nian is the daughter of my best friend. I really acknowledge her. Even though you can’t dote on her as much as the Xie family’s children, I hope you won’t disturb her again.

“I’ll 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!”

The old lady’s 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 Tianyi’s hand, then said in a low voice, “I’m tired. Let’s go home.”

“Okay, let’s go home.” Nan Tianyi’s straight face was filled with heartache. He did not even look at the Xie family as he held his wife’s 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, “Actually, Qiao Nian is…”

At first, the old lady only regretted her impulsiveness. Now, her expression changed drastically, and her face turned pale and stunned. “You’re talking about her!”

Xie Yun nodded.

This time, Old Madam Xie completely collapsed on the bed. Thick regret could be found in her eyes…

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.

Because of her rash actions, the Xie family missed out on a big backer.
