Madam’s Identities Shocks the Entire City Again

Chapter 3691: If It Had Been Di Xicheng

Only Shadow, who had been standing at the side and observing, could tell that Di Xicheng was making a cheap shot. He pursed his lips and looked at the excited Nie Qingru. Then, he lowered his eyes and looked at his toes without saying anything.

Nie Qingru was in a good mood. “They just left.”

Di Xicheng found a place to sit down and looked up. “Oh? They’re unwilling to accept Country C’s offer?”

“You know about it?” Nie Qingru asked casually. Then, she did not hide anything from him. “They used Fei Teng to weasel out of it. They don’t want to take on a job from Country C.”

Di Xicheng smiled. “Then… what does Eldest Aunt plan to do?”

Nie Qingru narrowed her eyes disdainfully. “Let me think about it.”

The Leonard family was not easy to deal with. She needed to think of a dual solution. It would be best if she could persuade the Leonard family to take the initiative to cooperate with her.

She was unwilling to give up on the Country C approach. This was the only way to deal a strong blow to Beijing and Qiao Nian.

She had spent a lot of money and energy and would not allow this plan to fail.

Di Xicheng seemed to have grasped her thoughts. “Eldest Aunt, why don’t you leave this matter to me? I might be able to find a solution.”

“You?” Nie Qingru was silent for a moment. She looked him up and down and did not immediately agree.

She was an ambitious, capable, and ruthless woman.

Therefore, it was not easy for her to trust others.

However, the eyes of the person in front of her were as bright as that person’s smile, with a clear voice.

She hesitated.

“What do you have in mind?”

Di Xicheng knew she would give him a chance. “I haven’t thought about it yet.”

He asked next, “Eldest Aunt… You don’t believe that I can do it well?”

Nie Qingru could be ruthless to anyone, but upon meeting those eyes, her heart would always be shaken. In just a few seconds, her heart softened. “Be careful. The Leonard family is not so easy to deal with. Tell me before you do anything.”

“Alright.” Di Xicheng agreed quickly.

Nie Qingru frowned as she looked at him with pursed lips.

Di Xicheng came this time because he wanted to take over the right to deal with the Leonard family from her. Now that he had achieved his goal, he did not want to stay any longer. After patiently exchanging a few pleasantries with Nie Qingru, he reasoned that the doctor would examine him soon and asked for leave.

Shadow sent him out before returning.

Nie Qingru had already returned to her usual unapproachable noble appearance.

“Empress.” Shadow walked over and called out hesitantly.

“Hmm?” The woman sitting on the chair carved from red cedar had a different style even though she was already this old. She raised her eyelids indifferently and looked dignified.

Reading a document, her gaze was like a sharp knife as she looked at Shadow. “I know what you want to say. If you can tell, I can also tell.”

Shadow was speechless. “Then you…”

Nie Qingru’s expression was indescribably tired. “He called me Eldest Aunt.”

After a moment of silence, Shadow thought of another person.

Young Master Qixing also held his hand with bright eyes and often asked him why his ‘godmother’ had not come to see him. Was it because he was not performing well?

However, what Young Master Qixing did not know until his death was that even though the Empress doted on him a little, she had once thought of handing over her position to him…

However, her nurturing and love toward him were nothing compared to her nurturing and love for another person. If the Empress had been forced to choose between status and this Young Master Di back then…

Would the Empress have sacrificed Young Master Di without hesitation?
