On the second floor.
Old Master Nie was with the current Patriarch.
They were discussing Nie Qixing.
"Dad, Qingru must have come back for Qixing."
"I know." Old Master Nie lay weakly on the bed. His silver hair showed he was already in his eighties or nineties.
Nie Tao said in a frustrated tone, "Qixing is too disappointing! How did he get involved in that kind of business?! Even the most useless branch family member doesn't touch this kind of business. He… Sigh!"
Old Master Nie lay on the bed with his pillow propped up. He did not react to his indignation and reproach, as if he was deep in thought.
Nie Tao carefully probed his attitude. "Dad, many people in the family have objections to this incident. Several elders have looked for me to reconsider my future successor…"
Old Master Nie glanced at him and understood what he was thinking. He did not give a clear answer. "I'll think about it…"
