I Help the Richest Man Spend Money to Prevent Disasters
chapter-327

When Nie Jiqing saw her husband’s displeased expressions, she groaned and her eyes couldn’t help but shimmer with a layer of tears.

As long as they thought about their daughter, their hatred for Sheng Lian would get a little deeper.

Nie Jiqing and Sheng Yu discussed the matter merely for one night, but they already had a countermeasure planned out. As for Sheng Lian’s family, they were merely grasshoppers that appeared after the passing of autumn(1)— they won’t be able to jump for long.

(T/N: In winter, grasshoppers will freeze and become dead or at least, immobile. He’s saying that Sheng Lian and his family won’t be able to go on with their plans)

Sheng Yu wanted the Sheng family to lose everything that it gained from his family.

The two of them barely slept the entire night, but Sheng Yu went out at dawn.

Nie Jiqing originally wanted to make up for the sleep she lost, but when she was about to fall asleep, a person suddenly flashed in her mind.

Ye Zhi.

Nie Jiqing’s sleepiness disappeared. She immediately took out her mobile phone and began to check Ye Zhi’s information on the Internet.

Ye Zhi was twenty-five years old this year. She was raised by her adoptive parents and her birthday is in May.

The age was correct, the family situation was correct and the birthday was correct as well.

Nie Jiqing was overjoyed. The reason she would think of Ye Zhi was because every time she met Ye Zhi, there was a strange feeling in her heart.

She couldn’t really put her hand on the feeling except knowing full well that there was a natural urge to get closer to her.

What if Ye Zhi is my daughter?

After Nie Jiqing had this idea, she couldn’t suppress it any longer. She immediately searched for the contact and stopped her finger on Ye Zhi’s name.

Nie Jiqing took a deep breath and dampened her nervousness, before she dialed Ye Zhi’s phone number.

The constant beeps on the other end of the phone only rang for a few times before someone answered the phone. With that, Ye Zhi’s calmingly cold voice came from the receiver.

“Hello.”

Nie Jiqing’s heart jumped with delight, but she tried to calm down so that her voice would sound the same as usual.

“Miss Ye, I want to talk to you about something today, do you have time to spare?”

Ye Zhi was stunned for a few seconds. She didn’t know why Nie Jiqing would be looking for her, but she quickly reverted to normal.

Ye Zhi didn’t know that Nie Jiqing was already aware of what Sheng Lian did. Besides, in the book, the original owner had no chance to see Nie Jiqing.

Sheng Man also took advantage of the Sheng family’s power to suppress the original owner miserably. Nie Jiqing’s connivance with Sheng Man meant that the Sheng family indirectly harmed the original owner.

Ye Zhi politely rejected Nie Jiqing’s proposal.

“Mrs. Nie, you can just call me Ye Zhi. If this is about Sheng Man’s matter last time, she has already apologized and the matter is over.”

Nie Jiqing heard the faint estrangement in Ye Zhi’s words and felt a pain in her heart for some reason. Then, she immediately explained.

“I’m really sorry about Sheng Man and her actions, so I want to see you again.”

Ye Zhi heard the plea in Nie Jiqing’s words. She hesitated for a few seconds but unexpectedly responded with affirmation. She only felt a sense of relief wash over her when she heard Nie Jiqing’s exclamations of excitement from the other end of the line.

Nie Jiqing even offered to pick her up but Ye Zhi refused the offer as she drove to the Sheng Mansion by herself.

As soon as she hung up the phone, Nie Jiqing immediately sat in front of the dressing table and began to put on her makeup. Then, she stayed by the walk-in closet and selected her clothes repeatedly but was unable to find a satisfactory outfit.

Zhao Ma looked strangely from the sidelines, “Madam, are there any important guests coming?”

Nie Jiqing was stunned when she heard what Zhao Ma said. Then, she whispered to herself softly, “Maybe it’s not just a guest.”
