Not only did Nie Tao's face change, his shoulders also trembled. He raised his head and looked at his sister in disbelief.
The first was for him to give up his son.
The second is to make him slap himself in the face in public.
The cost of solving this problem is too high!
Nie Qingru continued, "Third, I will go to the hospital with you, and it would be best if we could reach a settlement with the victim's family. It would be best if they could come forward and say they forgive me, but if not, at least we can appease them and stop them from expressing any opinions on this matter."
Nie Tao closed his eyes and said with a bleak face: "They will not agree to reconcile. I have contacted them before, and their attitude is very firm. They must make Jun Wei responsible."
Nie Qingru looked at him as if he was laughing at a joke: "That's right, we are going to the hospital to tell them the news."
“…” Nie Tao looked at her suddenly.
Nie Qingru was not afraid at all and met his gaze head-on. There was no emotion in those eyes, only an endless sense of oppression.
"Either you follow the path I give you, or I can only choose to protect myself and draw a clear line between myself and the Nie family. I don't have much time, so you should think it through."
Nie Tao couldn't suppress the panic and anger in his heart: "We are your family!"
Who knew that Nie Qingru would only answer him calmly: "Ji Qing is still my only daughter. Didn't I sacrifice myself just as you said?"
The whole house of the Nie family was in deathly silence.
Even Old Master Nie didn't dare to continue with this topic.
Nie Qingru didn't care what they thought. She stood up and took her bag. She swept her arrogant eyes across the faces of everyone in the Nie family. She felt extremely tired. "I have come this far and there is nothing I cannot give up. It was no exception before, and it is no exception now when it comes to you."
"Didn't Qixing sacrifice himself in the same way?"
She remembered that her good brother had advised her not to hesitate. It was just Nie Qixing, and he could sacrifice himself.
Now she can return this sentence to him.
"You have two sons. If one is gone, you still have one left. There is no need to hesitate. Just sacrifice it."
Nie Tao frowned in great pain and covered his face, his lips trembling as if he wanted to beg her: "Qingru. There is no other way."
Nie Qingru looked at him as if he were an ant, looking down on him, cold and aloof, with no emotion at all: "Yes, at the cost of the entire Nie family."
She smiled, as if she was laughing at the worthless feelings of the people in the room, and at their confusion: "Even if I lose the Nie family, I will still be the queen of the hidden family, and my position will not be shaken. But if you lose the protection of the hidden family, the Nie family will fall from grace and will never be as glorious as it is now."
The Nie family is different from industrial families like the Murdor family, otherwise they would not have thought of selling their daughter for marriage.
Who would be willing to give up the power that is within reach
Qiao Nian always looked at her with a look that said 'she was wrong', reckless, rebellious.
But she was not wrong.
She knew she was just making the choice most people would make.
Sure enough, before she even walked out of the door, she heard her elder brother's painful and resounding answer from inside.
"I'll go to the hospital with you."
"… "
Nie Qingru stopped for a moment and raised the corners of her mouth silently, as if she was confirming once again that she had done nothing wrong.
She slowly turned her head, still with that arrogant look, and looked at the depressed Nie Tao, and told Shadow: "Take him, we'll go to the hospital first."
