Madam’s Identities Shocks the Entire City Again

Chapter 3838: Sister Nian’s Conditions Are RuthlessEditor: Atlas Studios

However, the truth in her words was like a thorn in Nie Qingru’s heart, unable to be pulled out. It inevitably reminded her of the decision she had made back then.

She stood facing Qiao Nian for a full second before pursing her lips and speaking arrogantly.

”Ji Qing had to die.”

She did not explain why, as if she did not think there was a need to explain her actions to Qiao Nian.

”Even if I hadn’t done that, she would have died anyway.”

Ji Qing had touched the interests of too many people. She was destined to die.

In the reclusive families back then, she had not climbed to her current status yet. On one hand, her daughter had to die, and on the other hand, the interests were so easily attainable.

Nie Qingru only thought about it for one night before making a decision.

She wasn’t truly emotionless. Even if she had raised a dog for 20 years, she would still have feelings for it. Moreover, in the past 20 years, Ji Qing had carefully tried to please her growing up.

If Ji Qing did not have half of that man’s bloodline, the man she hated the most, she would not have been so heartless.

But no one could change their fate.

Nie Qingru did not think that she was in the wrong. She looked at Qiao Nian calmly without any guilt. ”From your point of view, I might have been too cold-blooded. But from my point of view, I’d already tried my best to persuade her.”

She had indeed advised Ji Qing not to continue her research. She had only mentioned it over the phone.

Ji Qing had always listened to her, but she did not agree at that time. Nie Qingru was annoyed and could not be bothered with her anymore, so she never mentioned it again.

Of course, in her eyes, she had ”tried her best” to save Ji Qing.

From her point of view, she sacrificed a daughter who would never win her favor and whose birth only served to prove that she had been humiliated in the past, in exchange for the highest position and countless benefits.

Any normal person would do the same.

She had only made a decision that most people would make. There was really no need for Qiao Nian to harp on this matter...

”If you want to make things difficult for me because of this, I have nothing else to say.” Nie Qingru looked at the girl opposite her with a burning gaze, emphasizing with a hint of threat and warning, ”But you have to understand a principle: quit while you’re ahead! Otherwise, even if you think you’re climbing high, you’ll fall even harder!”

She was referring to the fact that Qiao Nian had wiped out all the forces of the reclusive families in the illegal district...

Everyone present was smart and could hear the meaning behind her words.

Qiao Nian sneered and raised the corners of her eyes lazily. She did not take her threat seriously. ”If you want me to let them go, sure.”

Nie Qingru thought that she had finally listened, until the girl continued.

”50 million USD per person. If you give me the money, I’ll let them go,” she said casually. It was unknown if she was serious.

Nie Qingru’s face darkened instantly, and she called out in a suppressed voice, ”Qiao Nian!”

On the plane, she received a call from the families in Country Y and Country R. They said that the ransom offered by the Red Alliance was 20 million USD per person.

20 million USD was already a sky-high price.

Qiao Nian actually asked her for 50 million USD per person.

Nie Qingru’s expression was dark, just short of pointing at the girl’s nose and saying, ”You never wanted to talk to me!”

”You were the one who fantasized about using your face to gain benefits.” Qiao Nian had never indulged her. After retorting, she raised her eyebrows slightly.
