Xie Xinyao responded without hesitation, then looked at her and said, "Mom, how come you have time to pick me up today?"
"Did something happen at home?" Xie Xinyao was smart, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to enter the Level 8 laboratory so smoothly. She immediately asked the key question.
Xie's mother had something to ask her, and she didn't hide it from her. She narrowed her eyes slightly, put her hand on her platinum bag, and said elegantly and dignifiedly, "It's about your aunt."
"Aunt?" Xie Xinyao was stunned for a moment, and looked at her with almond eyes: "What happened to my aunt? Is she in the hospital?"
Everyone in the Xie family knew that Xie Tingyun was in poor health. He lived in a country estate with Nan Tianyi and rarely showed up.
Xie Xinyao instinctively thought that Xie Tingyun's condition had worsened.
Unexpectedly, Xie's mother shook her head and told the driver to go home first.
After the driver drove away from the First Institute, Xie's mother said slowly, "Your aunt's condition has been very stable recently."
Xie Xinyao didn't understand what she meant. She bit her lip, her face turned pale and ugly. She didn't feel like trying to figure it out. She just said "oh" and didn't ask any further questions.
Seeing that she looked uninterested, Xie's mother asked her if she had encountered any problems at the institute.
But Xie Xinyao refused to say anything.
Xie's mother couldn't do anything about her, so she simply stopped asking questions and told her the real thing: "It seems that your aunt wants to adopt a goddaughter."
Xie Xinyao was already in a terrible mood, and when she heard the news, she was a little confused: "Goddaughter? Who?"
"Your father and I asked your uncle, but he refused to tell us."
Xie Xinyao frowned and tightened her grip on the bag.
Mother Xie looked serious, as if she was looking at her seriously, and said solemnly: "We all know that your aunt will not live long. She has no children in her life, and your uncle-in-law has such a personality. In theory, everything she has should be inherited by you in the future... This is what we planned before, but if she adopts a goddaughter, the future will be uncertain."
"I've never coveted these things..." Xie Xinyao said quickly and anxiously, but the protruding blue veins on the back of her hands betrayed her inner confusion.
Mother Xie tried to comfort her, she put her hand on the back of her hand and said slowly, "I know you don't want these things, but how can our Xie family's things be given to outsiders for no reason?"
The tension in Xie Xinyao's heart eased slightly.
Mother Xie then said, "I have discussed this with your father, and we plan to go back and look for your eldest aunt to see if she knows the truth. Xinyao, if you are not busy recently, you should go and see your aunt and spend more time with her. Your aunt was once a rare genius in the Xie family. If you spend more time with her, and if she is willing to teach you, your future in the research institute will be much easier."
Xie Tingyun has never had any children, and Nan Tianyi is well-known for loving his wife dearly.
Once Xie Tingyun died.
The possibility of Nan Tianyi remarrying is extremely low.
The Nan family is famous for their small population and indifference to fame and fortune, so it is unlikely that they will come to compete.
But the wealth that Nan Tianyi and Xie Tingyun had worked hard for most of their lives must have an heir, and those manors and connections need to be entrusted to one person.
Xie's mother and everyone in the Xie family believed that all these would belong to Xie Xinyao in the future.
Even Xie Xinyao herself thought that Xie Tingyun's future inheritance would be inherited by her. However, Xie's mother was suddenly shocked to learn that Xie Tingyun wanted to adopt her as her goddaughter. As a result, no one knew who would inherit Xie Tingyun's huge inheritance in the future.
This is absolutely unacceptable to the Xie family!
