He Lin was about to go back and boil some medicine for Ji Lingfeng, so he told his men, "Next time you see him coming to the old house, just tell them that the clan leader is not here."
"yes."

Nie Tao hit a wall twice in a row and only returned to his hotel in the evening.
In the hotel room.
Old Master Nie and several members of the Nie family had been waiting inside. Except for the old master, everyone else was relaxed and indulged, either sitting on the sofa watching TV or eating fruit. Some even ran to the wine cabinet to get a bottle of champagne and drink it with the ham sent by the hotel.
The atmosphere was a relaxing vacation, and Nie Tao, who had just returned from a bad mood, felt pain in his temples and a cold face. He threw his bag on the sofa like the wind, making a 'pop' sound.
Now everyone realized that he was back.
Old Master Nie was pushed in front of him in a wheelchair under the care of the housekeeper. He stared at him with a pair of cloudy but shrewd eyes and then frowned.
"Qiao Nian refuses to agree?"
This is the worst situation in Old Master Nie's eyes.
However, the situation was worse than he had imagined!
"I didn't even mention it. She just turned and left when she saw me." Nie Tao mentioned this, his square face still showing anger.
Old Master Nie was silent for a moment, then raised his eyes uncertainly: "You mean...she didn't recognize you? You didn't tell her who you were?"
Nie Tao's expression became strange, he hesitated for a while, and said: "I think she knows my identity, but she ignored me."
He was too embarrassed to tell the old man directly in front of so many people that Qiao Nian only said one sentence to him, and it was just one word - get out!
After all, he was a well-known figure in Continent M, and all the people he came into contact with were celebrities.
Nie Tao has lived a long life and rarely makes a fool of himself like he did today.
He was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
"As for Ji Lingfeng, I waited at Ji's house for three hours. His assistant told me that he was not feeling well and went to sleep."
Nie Xia reacted violently and stood up: "What do they mean!" The people in the Nie family are used to being bossy.
It is rare to be treated this way.
Everyone was very angry.
Only Old Master Nie's initial surprise and fleeting anger turned into a deep pool after listening to Nie Tao's words.
"That's enough!" The younger generation of the Nie family couldn't figure out what the other person meant, but the old man with half of his body buried in the earth could see it clearly.
—The Nie family has lost power.
In the past, Nie Qingru was the queen of a hidden family, and other people would look up to them somewhat because of Nie Qingru. But now the situation has changed.
Nie Qingru is no longer the queen, and they have been reduced to their original forms as well!
The Nie family was originally a middle-class, or even lower-middle-class family among the hidden families.
Now this is just the treatment they should have received.
But who can calmly accept himself as he is after enjoying the flowers and brocade
Old Master Nie is no exception.
He had enjoyed respected treatment for nearly twenty years, so how could he accept becoming an insignificant old man again
When the others saw him gasping for breath, they excitedly widened their eyes and shouted at them to stop. They were all frightened and fell silent.
Nie Tao also went over and patted the old man on the chest to calm him down: "Dad, don't be angry."
Old Master Nie finally calmed down, and the frequency of his chest heaving slowly slowed down. After a long while, he said with his torn throat: "...Apart from the Ji family, I remember that we have some friendship with the Nan family."
Nie Tao remembered: "You mean Nanzhengyu?"
