Bite the spring pear

Chapter 147 is the work of this little jinx.

Wicked woman?

Jinli likes this word.

Just like the revenge novels she wrote before about heiresses from wealthy families.

Cold-blooded, cunning, and vicious.

She should also give herself a clear definition: today she is a wicked woman who has returned to her family to seek revenge and seize power!

Can……

As soon as she got out of the car and stepped into the main hall of the Nie family's building, she felt a chill run through her body.

Perhaps it was because the hallway was too long and too spacious, or perhaps it was because every brick and tile here held the nightmares of her childhood, making her shudder.

"Don't be afraid." Xie Jiyan noticed her subtle movements and held her hand the whole time, warming her slightly cold and trembling fingertips with his warm palm. His tone was both humorous and serious: "Remember your persona, you are the nemesis."

"I'm not afraid."

Jinli regained her courage and proudly declared, "I get excited just thinking about how terrified they'll be of me."

That's true. As soon as she stepped into the main building, she saw her older cousin in the distance. His face was pale as he threw down his rice bowl and then, in a panic, stumbled and crawled upstairs to hide in his room.

His appearance was quite comical and pathetic.

"You good-for-nothings," Dou Yingyue scolded with exasperation. "You're all spineless cowards."

If the power of the Nie family is handed over to such a descendant in the future, it will be doomed sooner or later.

"Mom, it's Li Xi, it's Li Xi! I'm not seeing things, am I?" Li Qingyu was overjoyed, but she managed to suppress her excitement.

Dou Yingyue patted the back of her hand to calm her down: "You're not mistaken, it's Li Xi who's here."

At this moment, Nie Liuye was still in the restaurant. He pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, slowly moved his chair and stood up, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes, and followed Dou Yingyue and Li Qingyu out to greet them.

“Father-in-law, what do you mean by this? Why did you bring Li Xi along? You didn’t even call ahead to let me know,” Dou Yingyue said to Meng Lao Er, who rushed into the living room.

Meng Lao Er angrily snorted, "She slapped my precious granddaughter's face to pieces! I want her to kneel down and kowtow to Hua Shuang in front of everyone to apologize!"

“Father-in-law, the frost on your face is due to a food allergy. How can you be so indiscriminate?” Dou Yingyue’s words were clearly in defense of Jinli.

Jinli paused for a moment, and she and Xie Jiyan stopped in their tracks, standing two meters away in the corridor, listening to their conversation with mixed feelings.

Meng Lao Er added, "If it were just a simple food allergy, how could her face have become so ulcerated that even the doctors couldn't do anything about it! It's clearly the work of this little jinx."

He criticized Jinli.

"The Taoist priest also said that Huashuang's symptoms may be due to being poisoned by a Gu. If we can find out the cause and cure her today, I can let bygones be bygones. But if Huashuang's face does not improve, then I will absolutely not let her off the hook!"

"Poisoned... poisoned?" Dou Yingyue was shocked upon hearing this. "That's impossible. Hua Shuang has always lived in Fancheng and has never been to the Miao region. How could she have been poisoned by poison?"

Although the idea of ​​Gu poison sounds absurd, it is not something one cannot disbelieve.

"Whether it is true or not, we'll have to go and see for ourselves to know." Meng Lao Er said no more and led Fu Xian upstairs, heading straight for Nie Huashuang's boudoir.

Dou Yingyue didn't have time to think it over and quickly followed to see what was going on.

Li Qingyu, who hadn't uttered a word from beginning to end, kept turning back to secretly look at Jinli, who was lagging behind. Several times she wanted to call her name and get closer to her.

But when her gaze accidentally met those indifferent and ruthless eyes, she immediately forced herself to hold back.

After all these years, she hasn't fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother.

Jinli must hate her to the core.
