Xie family.
Xie's mother received the invitation letter an hour ago and asked someone to call Xie Xinyao back from the research institute.
"Mom, I'm back."
Xie Xinyao had just walked in from the entrance and hadn't put down her things yet. Seeing the heavy atmosphere in the living room, she frowned and walked in, asking the person on the sofa: "Mom, what's wrong? Why were you so anxious to ask me to come back when you called me this afternoon?"
Xie's mother looked embarrassed, her face was tense and she didn't say anything.
Xie Xinyao frowned, turned her head, and noticed the invitation on the table from the corner of her eye: "What is this?"
She bent down to pick up the invitation, opened it, and her face suddenly changed!
It was clearly written on the invitation letter with a red background and gilded gold - Xie Tingyun wanted to adopt a goddaughter and invited them to attend the family recognition banquet!
Xie Xinyao's breathing suddenly became urgent, and she looked at her parents in disbelief: "Dad, Mom, what's going on? My aunt..."
"Your aunt is going to hold a family recognition party." Mother Xie then spoke with difficulty and answered her.
Xie Xinyao couldn't accept it and tightly grasped the invitation in her hand. She looked at her and said, "Mom, didn't you say before that you wouldn't let my aunt be cheated? This..."
It would have been fine if she hadn't mentioned this. But when she did, Xie's mother's usually radiant face lost its luster, and she was rarely angry: "Your aunt was very determined this time. Your father and I went to look for her, but we didn't even see her."
As soon as they got the invitation letter, they went to find Xie Tingyun, but Xie Tingyun refused to see them. Not only were they turned down, but they were also left alone by the old butler for a full half an hour.
In the end, Nan Tianyi came out to meet them.
It’s just that Nan Tianyi said it very bluntly.
Before they even explained their purpose, Nan Tianyi told them directly that Xie Tingyun's decision to adopt him as his goddaughter was a foregone conclusion and he would not change his mind just because anyone came to intercede for him.
Xie's mother and her friends had brought themselves into disarray and returned home helplessly. They then called Xie Xinyao to come back and discuss countermeasures.
"I don't know what that person said to your aunt, but she is determined to take her in as her goddaughter. She won't listen to anyone now! I asked your grandmother to call her, but she still has the same attitude - she must take that person in!"
Xie Xinyao's pretty face finally changed, turning slightly pale. She pinched her palm and asked, "Has the identity of the person that my aunt wants to recognize been found out?"
Mrs. Xie reacted quickly. She took a deep breath and looked as dignified and skillful as Mrs. Xie should be. "I found out something."
"?" Xie Xinyao didn't know what she meant.
If you find it, you find it.
If it’s not found, it’s not found.
What does it mean to find out a little bit
Mother Xie seemed to see through her thoughts. She reached out and pressed her forehead, and said worriedly, "Your aunt is very tight-lipped and refuses to reveal anything. We can only investigate on our own. The other party is quite capable. We investigated for a long time and only found out that the people in the manor called her... Miss Qiao."
"Qiao?" Xie Xinyao's heart skipped a beat, and she had a bad feeling: "Is that person's last name Qiao?"
She couldn't wait to ask: "Mom, don't you know her name?"
Xie's mother was embarrassed and shook her head. "I haven't found out about this. Your father and I have only found out that the other party's surname is Qiao. We haven't found out how old he is or where he came from. But we are still asking people to investigate, and sooner or later we will find some useful information."
