How could they not be afraid of a woman who could kill her only blood-related daughter in the world and attack the Nie family
Old Master Nie exhaled a breath of foul air, closed his eyes and opened them again as if resigned to his fate: "I understand, I will make them do as you say."
"That's good." Nie Qingru turned around and prepared to go downstairs.
Old Master Nie looked at her back as she pushed the door open and was about to leave, and suddenly called her: "Qingru, I know that the Nie family and I have let you down in this life. But your brother is not suitable to be the successor of the family. The business he has been involved in behind the scenes has long exceeded the bottom line of the business that a family like ours would touch..."
Before he could finish his words, Nie Qingru had already left the room accompanied by Shadow.
Old Master Nie looked at her figure who didn't even turn his head. His eyes, which had long lost their vitality, dimmed again. He sighed heavily and called his son.
"Just do as she says."
"Dad!" Nie Tao was unwilling to accept the fact: "Qixing even touches low-class businesses. The Nie family will be ruined in his hands!"
"Do you have any other choice?" Old Master Nie looked at him with a rare clear look.
"..." Nie Tao pinched his palms, feeling frustrated and unable to answer.
Seeing him silent, Old Master Nie raised his hand, as if he was tired: "The Nie family has no choice, and neither do you and I. Since there is no choice, let's just be happy. As the eldest brother, you should live as long as possible. If you can survive her, maybe... the Nie family still has a chance of survival. If you can't..."
Old Master Nie seemed unable to continue.
He sighed and shook his head: "Forget it! I'm tired, you go out."
Nie Tao looked at him unwillingly.
But at this moment, Old Master Nie's face was full of pain and his eyes were closed. He looked like he was asleep, with the corners of his mouth pursed and he was unwilling to speak anymore.
Nie Tao had no choice but to leave the room with a look of disappointment and close the door for Old Master Nie.
**
The people from the Nie family downstairs had already heard the result brought down by Nie Qingru.
They were in a state of agitation, unwilling to believe that Old Master Nie would choose to sacrifice the Nie family's century-old reputation to save Nie Qixing at this juncture.
At this time, Nie Tao came down from the second floor.
Everyone in the Nie family immediately surrounded them.
"Clan leader, does the old man really want to protect Nie Qixing at this time?" "Clan leader, now is not a good time."
"Patriarch, if we step out at this time, won't we make the Nie family a target?"
A bunch of people, including aunts and uncles, surrounded Nie Tao and talked non-stop.
They only dared to surround Nie Tao and express their dissatisfaction.
Nie Qingru just stood there, and no one dared to step forward to accuse her.
Nie Tao managed to calm everyone down with great difficulty.
He walked up to the strong old woman and pleaded, "Qingru, even if you want to rescue Qixing, can you wait for two days?"
"I'll give you 12 hours." Nie Qingru had long lost her patience and looked up at him.
Isn't 12 hours just half a day
Nie Tao opened his mouth but didn't have time to say anything.
Nie Qingru had already extended her hand, and Shadow quickly stepped forward to support her arm: "Empress."
"let's go."
Nie Qingru walked in front, with Shadow following closely beside her.
She just ignored everyone in the Nie family and left.
…
The people in the Nie family felt uncomfortable when they heard the sound of the whistle coming from outside gradually fading away.
The great aunt who had argued with Nie Qingru before now stood up and looked at Nie Tao: "Do we have to listen to her?"
