Chapter 3039: Do We Have to Listen to Her?
Editor: Atlas Studios
A woman who could even kill her only biological daughter in the world. How could they not be afraid that she would attack the Nie Family?
Old Master Nie let out a shaky breath and closed his eyes before opening them again as if he had accepted his fate. “I understand. I’ll tell them to do as you say.”
“That’s good.” Nie Qingru turned around.
Old Master Nie watched as she opened the door and was about to leave. Then, he suddenly called out to her, “Qingru, I know the Nie family and I have let you down in this life, but your brother is not suitable to be the successor. His secret business has long exceeded the bottom line of a family like ours…”
Nie Qingru left the room with Shadow before he could finish speaking.
As Old Master Nie looked at her departing figure, his eyes, which had long lost their vitality, dimmed again. He sighed heavily and told his son: “Do as she says.”
“Dad!” Nie Tao could not take it lying down. “He even got involved with such a low-tier business! The Nie family will be destroyed in his hands!”
“Do you have any other choice?” Old Master Nie looked at him with a rare clear gaze.
Nie Tao clenched his fists, unable to answer.
Seeing he was silent, Old Master Nie raised his hand as if tired. “The Nie Family has no choice. You and I have no choice, either. Since we have no choice, why don’t we be straightforward? As her elder brother, try to live a few more years. If you can outlast her, perhaps… 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 can leave.”
Nie Tao looked at him with an unwilling expression.
However, Old Master Nie’s face was filled with pain and his eyes were closed. He looked to be asleep. The corners of his mouth were pursed and he was unwilling to speak.
Faced with such a scene, Nie Tao had no choice but to leave the room in disappointment.
Downstairs.
The Nie family members had already heard Nie Qingru’s report.
They were in an uproar and were unwilling to believe Old Master Nie would choose to sacrifice the family’s hundred-year-old reputation to protect Nie Qixing.
At this moment, Nie Tao came down from the second floor.
Everyone immediately surrounded him.
“Patriarch, is Old Master really going to protect Nie Qixing now?”
“Patriarch, this isn’t a good time, right?”
“Patriarch, wouldn’t we be dirtying the Nie Family’s reputation if we stood out now?”
Everyone surrounded Nie Tao and chattered non-stop.
They only dared to express their dissatisfaction to him.
Nie Qingru just stood there, and none of them dared to criticize her.
Nie Tao finally managed to calm them.
He approached the domineering old woman and pleaded, “Qingru, even if you want to save Qixing, can you wait two days?”
“I’ll give you 12 hours.” Nie Qingru had long lost her patience.
Wasn’t 12 hours only half a day?
Nie Tao opened his mouth, but before he could say anything—
Nie Qingru extended her arm, and Shadow quickly went forward to hold it.
“Empress.”
“Let’s go.”
Nie Qingru walked in front while Shadow followed closely behind her.
Just like that, she ignored everyone and left.
The Nie Family members all felt uncomfortable as they heard the sound of cars driving away.
The great-aunt who had previously argued with Nie Qingru stood up and looked at Nie Tao. “Do we have to listen to her?”
