She looked at the rebellious girl opposite her and felt a surge of anger between her eyebrows.
Nie Qingru suppressed her temper and sat back down with a cold expression. Her gaze never left Qiao Nian as she asked oppressively, "Where’s Xicheng? What did you do to him?"
Jian Jin entered at this mont.
She walked up to Qiao Nian and handed her the glass of water. "It’s warm."
Qiao Nian acted as if she did not hear Nie Qingru’s aggressive question and gently took the water from Jian Jin. "Thank you."
Jian Jin smiled intimately. "I’ll be outside. Call if there’s anything."
"Alright."
Qiao Nian placed the glass on the table.
Before leaving, Jian Jin glanced in Nie Qingru’s direction. Without saying anything, she silently retreated and closed the door.
Only the three of them were left in the office.
Nie Qingru’s face darkened even more upon being completely ignored. The veins on her neck bulged. It was obvious that she was trying her best to suppress her emotions.
However, her disgust, coldness, and hatred for Qiao Nian leaked out of her eyes.
She seed to have reached the limit of her patience as she emphasized again, "Qiao Nian, you know why I’m here. You don’t have to play dumb. My patience is limited..."
"You can leave." The girl raised her head at this mont, revealing an exquisite face under her baseball cap, far more stunning than Nie Qingru’s.
Moreover, she had a unique aura that could not be ignored—casual, as if she was not interested in anything, but so strong that it could not be ignored.
Nie Qingru frowned coldly and watched as the girl sitting opposite her slowly took a lighter from her pocket and played with it, not even giving her a look.
"I agreed to co and see you. You’re the one begging , not the other way around. Please figure out the situation before you talk to ."
Silence.
Nie Qingru had never suffered such grievances before.
Her gaze as she looked at the girl was as if she were a venomous snake, as if she wanted to tear her apart. She couldn’t even pretend otherwise!
She verbalized the disgust in the depths of her heart. "I really should have weeded you out at the roots!"
She regretted it.
She should have listened to the suggestions of the people around her after Ji Qing’s death and carefully investigated her interpersonal relationships.
Instead, she ended the matter hastily and let Qiao Nian grow up.
Qiao Nian listened to her vicious curse and t her gaze expressionlessly, her emotions calm and unaffected. "You ca today to say this? There’s no need. I’m tired of hearing it."
Nie Qingru suppressed her anger and clenched her hands, trying her best to calm down.
"Qiao Nian, what will it take for you to let Xicheng go?"
Smack.
The lighter in the girl’s hand lit up.
Then, she extinguished the fla with her fair hand. Her dark eyes were bottomless, as if stirring with so emotion. It was a little strange.
However, at this mont, Nie Qingru’s mind was filled with Di Xicheng’s safety. She did not notice the change in Qiao Nian’s mood and continued to harp on this topic.
"Didn’t you capture him to threaten ? Now that I’m here, you can co at directly if you have anything. There’s no need to implicate irrelevant people!"
"Are you qualified to tell that?"
Qiao Nian’s emotions were ignited, and she held the silver lighter higher.
