There was the sound of a magnetic card entering the door.
Yingzi brought Nie Qixing, who had just been brought back, to her and said respectfully, "Empress, I have brought Young Master Nie back."
"kindness."
Nie Qingru went to the police station in person this morning, but she only showed up in the car, which was a disguised way of acknowledging Nie Qixing's identity in public.
She herself did not wait until Nie Qixing came out before leaving.
After Nie Qixing came out of the police station, Yingzi took him home to take a shower, change clothes, and freshen up before bringing him to see Nie Qingru.
Nie Qingru was still immersed in what Qiao Nian had just said. She didn't look kindly at Nie Qixing, who had caused her so much trouble. She didn't even bother to raise her eyelids. "Tell me, what else are you hiding from me?"
Nie Qixing stood in front of her holding his breath. The few days' trip to the police station had made him lose a lot of weight, and his face looked haggard and tired. Fortunately, he inherited the same excellent genes as Nie Qingru, and had a good appearance. Although not as outstanding as Ye Wangchuan, he could be considered gentle and elegant among ordinary people.
He quickly observed Nie Qingru's expression and saw that she didn't even look at him. Nie Qingru felt panicked, bitter and humiliated.
"I… "
"What do you want to do?" Nie Qingru finally looked up at him, but there was no warmth in her eyes, only the indifference of official business: "Are you short of money or people? From childhood to adulthood, I didn't give you anything you wanted. In addition to asking you to keep a low profile, your treatment is no worse than anyone else in the Nie family, and even higher than your nephew's status! I gave you a noble status, and only asked you to do what I said, is it so difficult?"
The nephew she was referring to was the son of her eldest brother Nie Tao.
If she had not made an agreement with Old Master Nie, according to the order of succession, the Nie family would have been inherited by Nie Wenyan instead of her younger brother Nie Qixing.
Nie Qingru frowned her dark brows, and there was an unsuppressible murderous aura on her body, which made people dare not approach her easily.
She stared at the silent man and pressed him, "Tell me, what do you want those girls for?"
The atmosphere in the living room was extremely cold, even Shadow couldn't breathe, and he glanced in the direction of Nie Qixing out of the corner of his eye.
Nie Qixing just clenched his fists but kept silent about the reason.
Nie Qingru waited for a few minutes, and seeing that he refused to say anything, she seemed a little disappointed and looked away: "Forget it if you don't want to say anything. I don't want to know either."
"Listen carefully. I don't care what shady businesses you've been involved in secretly without telling me. From now on, stop them all!" Her eyes turned cold, and only an imperative tone remained in her voice.
"I want a flawless successor, not a piece of trash. If you can't do that, I can always change someone. You are not my only choice."
"..." Nie Qixing suddenly raised his head and looked at her, as if he didn't expect her to say such words so easily.
It was as if the relationship of more than 30 years was not worth mentioning in her eyes. He was just a chosen puppet and could not have his own thoughts. Otherwise, he would be disobeying her and would only be destined to be abandoned.
The feeling was suffocating him.
Nie Qixing didn't dare to show it, so he could only force himself to lower his head and speak less.
Even Shadow was shocked by Nie Qingru's words and whispered, "Queen, you..."
"Don't call me!"
Nie Qingru was irritated by Qiao Nian on the phone before, and now her migraine came back and her head started to hurt. She said in a bad tone and didn't want to talk to them anymore: "I'm tired, you guys go out."
