Chapter 3067 If You Have Time to Care Who I Eat With, You Might As Well Care About Yourself
“Tsk.”
Nie Qingru’s nerves snapped and her mocking provoked her. “What are you laughing at?”
Qiao Nian said calmly, “I’m thinking about how much benefits are at stake for the n.o.ble Empress to call me to express her goodwill.”
Nie Qingru felt as if she had been slapped in the face. Angry, her expression became even gloomier.
She gripped her wine gla.s.s tightly. “I heard you only invited Ji Nan from the Ji family to your birthday this time?”
Nie Qingru had long heard that Qiao Nian was celebrating her birthday.
She originally thought the other party would take this opportunity to form a closer relations.h.i.+p with the Ji family. However, Qiao Nian did not invite the elders of the Ji family as she had expected. Instead, she only invited Ji Nan.
She still couldn’t figure this out, so she called to find out more.
Nie Qingru put on airs.
She had always placed herself as an elder and a superior. Even if she had a motive for calling, her tone was insufferably domineering.
“Why didn’t you call the rest of the family?”
“Does it have anything to do with you who I call for dinner?” Qiao Nian did not answer her question directly, nor did she mock her anymore. Instead, she was cold.
It was as if her cold att.i.tude towards strangers had pierced Nie Qingru’s self-esteem.
Nie Qingru’s face was cold and solemn and her eyes were malicious as she coldly said, “Don’t forget that I’m still your grandmother. We’re connected by blood. My blood flows in your body!”
Qiao Nian had wanted to see why she called, but after hearing this, she had no desire to continue chatting with her.
“My blood came from my mother. It has nothing to do with you.”
Qiao Nian then thought of something and her eyes narrowed again. She prodded Nie Qingru’s sore spot in return, a t.i.t for tat. “If you have time, you should care more about the successor you’ve nurtured for over 30 years.
“I thought the person you’ve been hiding and protecting for 30 years was outstanding. I didn’t expect your taste to be so bad.
“You probably didn’t expect him to partic.i.p.ate in these businesses behind your back, did you?”
Qiao Nian knew that was enough to make her go crazy. She sarcastically added, “So, the human heart is not as easy to control as you think. At least you didn’t manage to do it.”
Those who played with eagles would one day be pecked in the eye by them.
She said lightly, “If you have the time, why don’t you pay more attention to Nie Qixing? Didn’t you use your connections to bail him out? Ask him what business he’s still involved in behind your back. Don’t brag about the reclusive families to me all day long. Even the lowly people in Continent F don’t want to do such dirty business.”
“Qiao Nian! Is this your upbringing?!” Nie Qingru was so angry that her blood pressure soared. Her face was red and purple. It was a rare moment for the mask of elegance to fall and reveal her true colors.
Unfortunately, she was so angry that her guts were about to burst. She panted and reprimanded the girl sternly, but the other person did not take her seriously.
After saying “I’m hanging up,” she hung up on her in the blink of an eye.
Nie Qingru froze for a full three seconds before accepting the fact that she had been hung up on.
The veins on her forehead bulged as she slammed the phone against the wall. With a loud bang, the phone shattered and fell to the ground.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Nie Qingru was no longer in the mood to drink red wine and returned to the living room. Then, she expressionlessly said, “Come in.”
