"We can wait…" The old man was unwilling to relent.
Nie Qingru's face was as cold as ice. "You mean you don't trust me anymore?"
These words were a few degrees colder.
The elders from the Leonard family did not look too good either. No one would be happy to have an important account book stolen from them. Moreover, the other party had reported them, causing them to be overwrought… If it weren't for Nie Qingru, they wouldn't have come to talk today. Instead, they would have directly arrested him.
At this moment, Luke stopped the old man trying to confront Nie Qingru. "Uncle, don't be angry. Let's trust the Empress this time."
The old man heaved a sigh of relief, as if he had found a way out. He looked indifferently at Nie Qingru, no longer as polite and respectful as before. "In short, this account book is very important to us. I hope the Empress will take it to heart and give us an explanation as soon as possible."
"Of course."
