Then he turned to look at his eldest brother: "90 is also the age of knowing one's destiny. It is not certain whether we will live to Dad's age in the future. Dad has not lost out in this life. Big brother, don't you agree?"
Nie Tao broke out in a cold sweat and immediately understood what she meant.
Nie Qingru told him clearly that even if Old Master Nie died now, she would not be sad. After all, in her eyes, Old Master Nie should die at this age...
Nie Qingru wiped her hands with a clean white handkerchief, then threw it into the trash can at her feet, saying in a low voice, "I want the Nie family to come forward and rescue him."
Nie Tao reacted: "But this is not a good time..."
"Brother, I'm not asking the Nie family to rescue our prisoners, I'm just notifying you." Nie Qingru was as strong as ever.
She looked at the middle-aged man with a changing expression, stood up and continued, "In order to let me continue to protect the Nie family, you used medical means such as freezing your eggs at the age of 60 to give birth to my younger brother and let me raise him as my son. You also promised me that everything in the Nie family would belong to him in the future! Now it's time for you to fulfill your promise."
Few people in the Nie family knew Nie Qixing's origins. Some people even speculated that Nie Qixing was Nie Qingru's illegitimate son, but that Old Master Nie registered the child under his own name in order to cover up the scandal.
Who could have imagined that the truth was even worse than this!
When Nie Tao saw her speak out in front of her frail old father, he knew she was serious. Thinking of his equally outstanding son, he was unwilling to give up the position of heir.
He took a step forward: "Qingru, it's not that we ignore him. He is also my blood brother, but this time is too sensitive and not suitable..."
Nie Qingru's eyes made him stop.
Nie Tao took a deep breath, shocked by the murderous intent and indifference in that look, but also afraid that if he continued speaking he would irritate her.
Nie Qingru said: "I'm not here to listen to excuses."
"But…"
"The Nie family still wants to rely on me to maintain their top position in the hidden family. It's best for them to do as I say."
Nie Qingru gathered up her shawl and said casually, "Brother, my patience is limited. You know I can do anything!"
Nie Tao raised his eyes and looked at her nervously.
Seeing that there was no emotion on Nie Qingru's face, but only endless gloom, he was shocked and his back was soaked with cold sweat.
The palms of my hands were covered in sticky sweat.
He looked at his old father on the bed for help: "Dad, I'll listen to you."
"Hey, stop arguing." Old Master Nie struggled to sit up: "Qingru, he is your elder brother after all."
This time, Nie Qingru just stood beside his bed and watched him struggling to sit up, but she remained indifferent and had no intention of lending a hand.
Instead, Old Master Nie, who was trying to persuade her, watched coldly, with mockery in his eyes, and said slowly: "Dad, you can't forget the things that the Nie family and you have done to me?"
Old Master Nie was horrified: "You, you..."
Nie Qingru smoothed the wrinkles on her clothes and glanced at the two of them: "Qixing must be the heir of the Nie family, and you must clear his name immediately."
"..." Under her overwhelming aura, neither Old Master Nie nor Nie Tao could say a word of refusal.
Mainly, they were also afraid of Nie Qingru.
If they were not afraid of Nie Qingru, Old Master Nie would not have given birth to another little son at the age of sixty in order to control her emotionally.
