2225 It’s Finally Time to Settle the Score

The two of them had just walked out of the research inst.i.tute.

Nan Tianyi was waiting for them outside. “You’re out?”

Seeing them come out, Nan Tianyi stubbed out his cigarette, threw the cigarette b.u.t.t on the ground, and quickly ran over. Exuding coldness, he looked at them not as if they were a family, but as if they were strangers.

Mother Xie’s heart skipped a beat, and she felt a strong sense of unease…

She pulled Xie Xinyao closer to her and forced a smile. “Tianyi, why are you here?”

Nan Tianyi ignored her. His sharp gaze pa.s.sed her and landed on Xie Xinyao, who was hiding behind her. His gaze was like a knife, scaring Xie Xinyao so much that she hurriedly lowered her head and stammered, “Uncle.”

Nan Tianyi did not respond.

Mother Xie was a little fl.u.s.tered. She immediately stood in front of her daughter and pretended to be relaxed as she said, “Tianyi, why didn’t you tell me you were coming? I could have come out to pick you up.”

“Mm.” Nan Tianyi finally looked her in the eye. Gentleness could not be seen in his eyes, only endless coldness. “If I came early, how could you have forgiven the Ji family for me and Tingyun in front of Dean Feng?”

Mother Xie’s face instantly turned red. Her eyes flickered as she said awkwardly, “I… I didn’t mean that.”

“You didn’t forgive Ji Ziyin on my behalf inside?” This was the first time Nan Tianyi did not give her face and spoke so ruthlessly.

After a moment of awkwardness, Mother Xie could only explain, “The Ji family asked me to put on a show in the office. We also wanted to minimize the matter and not make a big deal out of it. After all, Xinyao is still young. For her future, I have no choice but to do this…”

She hesitated when Ji Hongyuan found her in private and asked her to ‘act’ a reconciliation scene in front of Feng Yu.

She knew that what she was doing was inappropriate, but considering Xie Xinyao’s future, Mother Xie gritted her teeth and cooperated with Ji Hongyuan to put on a show.

After all, there was only one victim in this matter—Xie Tingyun.

And Xie Tingyun was a member of the Xie family.

If the Xie family expressed that they would not pursue the matter, the research inst.i.tute would not punish them severely.

Even if everyone knew very well that she was not qualified to forgive Ji Ziyin on behalf of Xie Tingyun, everyone present was smart. They only wanted to give each other face… They risked their faces to put on a show. Even if Feng Yu knew that they did not have the right to make a ‘reconciliation’ scene, it was not appropriate to expose them in public.

Perhaps their method would have worked if Qiao Nian had not come today!

Unfortunately, she came.

All her efforts turned to waste.

“So in your eyes, her future is more important than my wife’s life.” Nan Tianyi looked very calm as if he was just asking calmly.

Mother Xie’s heart raced. She acutely sensed the ruthlessness in Nan Tianyi’s tone and hurriedly said, “That’s not what I meant.

“Isn’t Tingyun fine?

“I only agreed to the method proposed by the Ji family because Tingyun turned misfortune into good luck and came out safe.”

Seeing that Nan Tianyi was unmoved, Mother Xie gritted her teeth and continued, “I’ve already taught Xinyao a lesson in private. When Tingyun’s health improves a little, I’ll make her kneel in front of her aunt’s bed and admit her mistake…”

“Mom.” Xie Xinyao could not accept admitting her mistake. She pulled Mother Xie’s arm and called out to her unhappily.
