Chapter 337
Nie Jiqing turned to look at the butler and said quietly, “From today onwards, Sheng Man will not live here, so there is no need to put these things in it.”
The butler was shocked, “Madam….”
Nie Jiqing didn’t even look at the butler as she directly ordered, “Throw all these things at the door; make sure you don’t leave a single one out.”
The butler wanted to help speak up for Sheng Man, “But the Lady…”
Nie Jiqing looked at the butler indifferently, “If you say another word for her sake, then stop working in the Sheng manor.” The butler didn’t dare to speak up any more after that.
After Nie Jiqing watched the others throw Sheng Man’s things outside, she called her phone with a calm tone, “Sheng Man, I’m in your house, come here this instant.”
After speaking, Nie Jiqing hung up the phone without waiting for Sheng Man to speak. She sat on the sofa, waiting for Sheng Man to come over.
Sheng Man didn’t know what happened, but she didn’t dare to defy Nie Jiqing’s words. Hence, she ended the work she had and rushed over.
Sheng Man was very angry when she saw the things she newly bought stacked by the door. She rushed in angrily and saw Nie Jiqing standing by the window, her back looking indifferent and cold.
Sheng Man took a look and walked to Nie Jiqing. She said coquettishly, “Mom, how could those people throw my things outside? Help me give them a good lecture.”
Nie Jiqing turned her head and looked at Sheng Man. Then, she uttered a few words calmly, “I was the one who asked them to do so.”
A huge sense of panic surged in Sheng Man’s heart as she whispered, “Mom, what did I do wrong?”
Nie Jiqing watched Sheng Man for a while, but still, she did not speak. When Sheng Man’s fear grew deeper and stronger, Nie Jiqing suddenly asked, “How has the Sheng family treated you for so many years?”
Sheng Man, “The Sheng family treated me very well.”
Nie Jiqing’s voice became a little harsher, “I have never been unsupportive, have I?”
Sheng Man was terrified. The current Nie Jiqing was such a stranger to her that she was shocked, but she still managed to nod her head.
Nie Jiqing almost blurted out the next sentence, ‘so why did your family kill my daughter?’
Nie Jiqing controlled her emotions there and then— she knew that she couldn’t let Sheng Man discover anything now.
Nie Jiqing sneered inwardly, but her expression remained unchanged, “You have lived in this house long enough. Starting tomorrow, you will move to another place.”
Sheng Man’s expression changed drastically. She grabbed Nie Jiqing’s hand and asked in terror, “Mom, what did I do wrong? Why are you taking back my house?”
If she didn’t live in a mansion, she couldn’t imagine how the outside world would laugh at her, criticise her and question her!
Sheng Man grabbed Nie Jiqing’s hand but the elder only glanced at her. In the next second, she raised her arm slightly and pulled out her hand little by little without hesitation.
The feeling in Sheng Man’s hand was suddenly empty as she shook hands blankly, only grasping the cold air.
Nie Jiqing said coldly, “Do you want to know what you did wrong?”
In the air, Nie Jiqing’s cold voice fell.
“First, your brother Sheng Bang owed a large amount of gambling debts. The Sheng family has been helping him pay back the money despite so many years passing already. This has reached my bottom line.”
Sheng Man pursed her lips—she knew that it must have been related to Sheng Bang.
Nie Jiqing looked at Sheng Man and said coldly, “Second, you have been spending money arbitrarily and bullying others in the name of the Sheng family.”
