Madam’s Identities Shocks the Entire City Again

Chapter 3837: Have You Ever Thought That This Day Would Come?Editor: Atlas Studios

She looked at Nie Qingru’s cold eyes and retorted, ”You’re the last person who has the right to say these words! You asked me not to implicate irrelevant people. What about yourself?”

Nie Qingru’s eyes flickered. In the end, she was in the wrong first.

She choked for a moment, but her expression was ugly!

Seeing that she was silent, Qiao Nian became disinterested. Her aura was still vicious, but she was not as angry. She returned to her cold attitude.

”I don’t have Di Xicheng.”

”You’re lying.”

Nie Qingru clearly did not believe it and had a huge reaction.

Qiao Nian wasn’t interested in arguing with her. She picked up the water glass and took a sip. Slowly putting it down, she said with her usual expression, ”Believe it or not.”

Seeing her like this, Nie Qingru couldn’t make up her mind and frowned sharply at Qiao Nian.

Her gaze was filled with scrutiny and deliberation.

But she did not have the blood ties and gentleness of an elder.

”What about Xue Qing and those people? They must be in your possession.” In the end, she did not continue to harp on the matter of Di Xicheng. Instead, she mentioned the others.

Her main purpose in coming to the illegal district this time was to find Di Xicheng. Her secondary goal was to get her people back from Qiao Nian.

The thought that Qiao Nian might let them go didn’t even cross her mind.

”When do you plan to let them go?” Nie Qingru asked matter-of-factly. She even narrowed her eyes to show her dissatisfaction.

Qiao Nian had probably heard the most ridiculous joke of the day. She finally looked up at her and sized her up with clear eyes. There was a strange expression on her face.

”You... want me to let them go?”

Nie Qingru suppressed her dissatisfaction and tried to calm down. ”Those people didn’t participate in the matter back then. They have nothing to do with your mother’s death.”

It would have been better if she had not mentioned Ji Qing.

Qiao Nian was immediately filled with hostility and interrupted her. ”Do you think that as long as you bring this up, I’ll pretend that nothing happened on your account and turn a big matter into a small one?”

Nie Qingru’s thoughts were exposed. Her face stiffened, and she called out in a warning tone, ”Qiao Nian.”

However, Qiao Nian ignored her and smiled rather uninterestedly. The corners of her lips even curled up in mockery.

”But why should I give you face? Who are you to me?”

”I’m your grandmother!”

The veins on Nie Qingru’s forehead bulged. She stood up angrily and looked down at her fiercely.

”It doesn’t matter if you admit it or not. You have my blood in your veins. The fact that I’m your grandmother will never change!”

”Ha.” Qiao Nian looked at the façade of calmness that Nie Qingru could no longer maintain. She felt that it was much more pleasing to the eye.

Nie Qingru restrained her anger. ”What are you laughing at?”

Everyone had already fallen out with each other. Qiao Nian couldn’t be bothered to pretend to be a snake with her. She stood up and put her hands in her pockets, facing her.

”I’m laughing at you. When you used your own daughter’s life to exchange for your current status, did you ever think that you would grit your teeth and stand in front of me one day? That you could only rely on your status as my grandmother to suppress me and retrieve your people?”

Without waiting for her answer, she answered for her, ”You probably never thought about it!”

To be precise, Qiao Nian’s tone was icy-cold. It was not mocking or anything. She was just calmly narrating a fact.
