2114 Your Aunt Wants to Acknowledge a Goddaughter

Xie Xinyao agreed and looked at her.

“Mom, why are you free to pick me up today? Did something happen at home?” Xie Xinyao asked the key question. She was not stupid. Otherwise, she would not have been able to enter the Level 8 laboratory successfully.

Mother Xie did not hide it from her. She narrowed her eyes slightly and placed her hand on the platinum bag, then said elegantly and dignifiedly, “It’s about your aunt.”

“Aunt?” Xie Xinyao was stunned for a moment. She looked at her with her almond-shaped eyes. “What happened to Aunt? Did she get admitted to the hospital?”

The Xie family knew that Xie Tingyun’s health was not good. She usually lived in a manor in the countryside with Nan Tianyi and rarely appeared.

Xie Xinyao instinctively thought that Xie Tingyun’s condition had worsened.

Unexpectedly, Mother Xie shook her head and instructed the chauffeur to start driving home.

After they were a little away from the First Research Institute, Mother Xie said unhurriedly, “Your aunt’s condition has been very stable recently.”

Xie Xinyao did not understand what she meant. She bit her lip, her face pale and ugly. She wasn’t in the mood to understand. She nodded and did not ask further.

Seeing her lack of interest, Mother Xie asked if anything had happened at the research institute.

However, Xie Xinyao refused to say anything.

Mother Xie had no choice but to stop asking and talk about serious matters. “Your aunt seems to want to acknowledge a goddaughter.”

Xie Xinyao was already in a terrible mood. Now she was a little dumbfounded at this sudden news. “Goddaughter? Who?”

“Your father and I asked your uncle, but he wouldn’t tell us.”

Xie Xinyao frowned and tightened her grip on her bag.

Mother Xie looked at her and said in a serious tone, “We all know that your aunt won’t live for long. She has no children, and your uncle has such a personality. Logically speaking, you should inherit everything from her in the future… That’s what we planned previously. However, if she acknowledges a goddaughter, it’s hard to say what will happen in the future.”

“I’ve never coveted her things…” Xie Xinyao said quickly and anxiously. However, the bulging veins on the back of her hand betrayed her frustration.

Mother Xie quickly comforted her and placed her hand on the back of her hand. She said slowly, “I know you don’t covet them, but how can our Xie family’s things be taken by an outsider for no reason?”

Xie Xinyao relaxed a little.

Mother Xie continued, “I’ve discussed it with your father. We plan to look for Big Aunt later and see if she knows the inside story. Xinyao, if you’re not busy recently, you should visit your aunt and interact more with her. Your aunt used to be a rare genius in the Xie family. You should spend more time with her. If she’s willing to teach you, your future path in the research institute will be much easier.”

Xie Tingyun did not have any children, and Nan Tianyi was famous for loving his wife as much as his life.

Once Xie Tingyun died, the possibility of Nan Tianyi remarrying was extremely low.

The Nan family was famous for having a small number of people and did not care about fame and fortune. The possibility of them fighting with them was not high.

However, Nan Tianyi and Xie Tingyun had worked hard for most of their lives to have an heir. Those manors and connections had to be entrusted to one person.

Mother Xie and everyone in the Xie family thought that these would belong to Xie Xinyao in the future.

Even Xie Xinyao herself thought that Xie Tingyun’s future inheritance would be passed down to her. Who knew that Mother Xie would suddenly receive a bolt from the blue that Xie Tingyun wanted to acknowledge a goddaughter? This way, who knew who would inherit Xie Tingyun’s large inheritance in the future?

This was absolutely unacceptable to the Xie family!
