Chapter 3172: Nie Qingru Has to Lower Her n.o.ble Head Too!

Jian Jin listened to his self-talk and couldn’t help but laugh. “I don’t think I asked anything.” Lu Zhi pursed his lips. He was expressionless, and he did not say anything.

Jian Jin pushed the wheelchair forward again. “Let’s go. Don’t you want to eat with Father Qiao? It’ll be too late if we don’t go now.”

In the hotel in Country M.

Nie Tao looked at the clock on the wall and noticed it was already 10:30 p.m.

He turned to the angry person and reminded, “Qingru, there’s less than half an hour left of the time she gave you.”

Nie Tao now roughly understood the situation in Continent F and he also understood who Nie Qixing had provoked this time.

He said cautiously, “Actually… Qixing was too impulsive this time. He shouldn’t have gone after the people in Beijing. Fortunately, we’re a family behind closed doors. Since she’s Ji Qing’s child, you should have a good talk with her. She might not be entirely unwilling to listen to you.”

Nie Qingru felt frustrated. She pulled up her shawl and looked at him coldly. “Do you really think she will listen to me?”

“Well…” Nie Tao was not stupid.

Qiao Nian obviously wasn’t an obedient person with the commotion she created this time. However, Nie Qingru couldn’t control her younger brother, and he insisted on provoking her. At the end of the day, Nie Qixing was the one who started it!

It was normal for Qiao Nian not to give her face now!

“It’s fine if you don’t want to talk to her. Unfortunately, Qixing… I’m afraid he’s going to suffer a little this time.”

Nie Tao couldn’t wait to see Nie Qixing suffer. After all, blood relations could not compare to benefits, and he had a conflict of interest with Nie Qixing.

“But it’s good for him to suffer a little. Who asked him to be so impulsive every time he does something? He’ll learn a lesson this time.”

Hearing his tone, Nie Qingru felt that it was a small matter. Qiao Nian just wanted to teach Nie Qixing a lesson and then she would let him go…

She was so angry that her face turned ashen. She narrowed her eyes and looked at Nie Tao coldly. “Do you really want Qixing to be taught a lesson?”

“I’m just saying. If you’re worried, call her again…” Nie Tao sensed her displeasure and immediately shut up.

Nie Qingru’s mind buzzed, but she knew that Qiao Nian was not doing this just to teach Nie Qixing a lesson.

If she did not call her within the time limit she set, it was unknown if Nie Qixing would leave Continent F alive.

Nie Qingru had commanded the wind and rain for decades. She was already used to standing higher and looking down at the people below.

This was the first time she had been forced into a corner. She even had to do things according to others’ requests. One could imagine her grievance.

It was 11:45 p.m.

There were only 15 minutes left for Qiao Nian’s request.

Nie Qingru pinched the bridge of her nose and walked into the study with a dark expression, closing the door behind her.

Nie Tao was left alone outside, not knowing whether to leave or stay. After thinking for a long time, he could only sit on the sofa and wait for her to come out…

The night in Continent F was beautiful, with a cool breeze.

Nie Qixing and the others had been trapped for nearly two hours. Their nerves were stretched tight, they were exhausted, and their eyes were bloodshot.

On the verge of a mental breakdown, Nie Qixing forced himself to walk out and say, “I want to see Qiao Nian.”

Mo Dong was talking to Daji. Hearing this, he turned around and sneered. “Who do you think you are? You think you can meet her just because you want to?”

Still rational, Nie Qixing a.n.a.lyzed objectively, “You can’t keep us here forever. I want to talk to her face to face.”
