Ni Sitian's face darkened. Ni Ziqi actually dared to dream of moving into the villa on the lakeside island. She really had no manners. Did she think she was her own sister?

Ni Qianshan is sick, and as his daughter, she has the obligation and responsibility to take care of him. But who are He Cuiyun and Ni Ziqi? What right do they have to move into her house? Besides, do you think she doesn't know what Ni Ziqi is up to? Moving in is like inviting a wolf into the house. Do they really think she's stupid?

However, what is most disappointing is that even at this point, Ni Qianshan did not think about her feelings. It was he who took the initiative to suggest that the mother and daughter move into her house.

No matter how stupid, foolish, or blindly filial she was, she would never agree to this. She said in a deep voice, "You've rented a small single room near the hospital, so it's convenient for you to take care of Dad. I'll pay the rent."

Considering Ni Qianshan's serious illness, this was already the maximum concession she could make.

“Ni Sitian, Dad is already like this, and you still hold a grudge about those little things from the past. No matter what, my mom was Dad’s lawfully wedded wife. It’s one thing that you’ve never called her ‘Mom’ even once, but now you’re making excuses.” Ni Ziqi originally thought that by using Ni Qianshan’s words, she would have a chance to move in with Xu Tingchuan. She was confident that she could win him over by spending time together. But she didn’t expect Ni Sitian to be so firm in her stance on this matter.

“Ni Ziqi, haven’t you had enough of soaking in the reservoir? What right do you have to act arrogantly in front of me now?” Ni Sitian said coldly.

"You, you admit it! You're the one who had me thrown into the reservoir! I'm calling the police!" Ni Ziqi had already suspected it, and now that it was confirmed, she was furious.

“If you want to go back to jail, I have no objection,” Ni Sitian said casually. After thinking for a moment, she added, “I suddenly remembered that jail is actually a good place for you. There won’t be loan sharks chasing you there, and you’ll still get three meals a day.”

"Ni Sitian!" Ni Ziqi's veins bulged.

"Enough, Ziqi, shut up," Ni Qianshan reprimanded.

He Cuiyun tugged at Ni Ziqi's hand, and Ni Ziqi pouted and ran out of the ward.

Ni Sitian had a headache. She glanced at the time and it was almost seven o'clock. After staying a little longer, she told He Cuiyun to take good care of Ni Qianshan and then left.

He Cuiyun escorted Ni Sitian to the ward door, closed the door, turned around and smiled at Ni Qianshan.

Ni Qianshan also curled the corners of his mouth, closed his eyes, and looked relaxed and carefree, not at all like someone who was sick.

When Ni Sitian got home, it was already 7:30. She opened the door and saw that the living room lights were on; Xu Tingchuan had already returned.

She was exhausted and felt heavy-hearted, and wanted to talk to Xu Tingchuan.

I changed into slippers and went inside. Seeing the light shining from his study, I went straight there.

Just as they reached the door, before they could even push it open, Xu Tingchuan's voice rang out: "Have Manager Zhou talk to General Manager Chen of Dahe Group to see if he can delay payment until September."

"Mr. Xu, Manager Zhou met with Mr. Chen this afternoon. It seems they received news that we are having financial problems and are unwilling to extend the deadline," Assistant Xu said.

Ni Sitian heard it too. She frowned slightly. Xu Tingchuan must have turned on the speakerphone function. He seemed to be typing on the keyboard, accompanied by crisp tapping sounds.

"Then let's go and collect the old debts owed to us by other companies." Xu Tingchuan stopped typing and rubbed his temples.

Negative news is not so easy to completely eliminate. Although the stock price has rebounded slightly, there are still too many rumors about M&K, and it is really difficult to raise the funds from the United States.
