But after Chen Rou said those words, he was still so angry that he couldn't control himself and trembled like a leaf.
Suddenly pointing at her, he asked in a gruff voice, "Who...who are you?"
In fact, Nie Rong had sensed something was wrong with Chen Rou as soon as she returned. A girl who used to only know how to dance ballet and play the piano had become a ruthless killer. She only needed three moves to kill his bodyguard captain, as if she were possessed by a demon. However, everything she did revolved around Nie Zhao's health, so Nie Rong tacitly allowed her to act recklessly and arrogantly.
But this moment is different. What she ruthlessly exposes is the despicable and cowardly nature in his heart that he himself is unwilling to admit.
Yes, when the then-Hong Kong government, representing Western powers, hinted that he should step down and be succeeded by Nie Zhao, he nodded in agreement, even forcing a group of directors who only liked Nie Yao and not Nie Zhao to agree as well.
His intention was to sideline Nie Zhao from the very beginning, remain behind the scenes, and continue to wield power and control the Nie family.
This is called political maneuvering, and it was also a self-preservation strategy he devised when he feared that his rebellious son, Nie Zhao, would kill him after he abdicated.
But now he's facing a problem.
The trick he had used not only failed to help him, but also put him in a difficult position after Nie Zhao was laid off.
Of course he didn't want to release Nie Yao, but he had no choice but to, because if he didn't release Nie Yao, the Nie Corporation would be in chaos.
He thought Chen Rou only knew fighting and killing and didn't understand business strategy, but he didn't expect that she not only understood it, but also ruthlessly exposed his little tricks and mocked him. He almost shouted: "You're not Chen Rou, are you? Who are you?"
His eyes widened in anger, and he said again, "You're not the Chen Rou I used to know! Tell me, who are you?!"
Chen Rou considered telling Nie Zhao about her experiences if she couldn't keep it a secret any longer, but of course she wouldn't tell Nie Rong. After all, she might be able to beat one or even ten bodyguards, but she couldn't beat dozens or even hundreds.
She was a time traveler, and it's impossible for her to serve a selfish person like Nie Rong. What if he goes crazy and gets a bunch of people to capture her and use her for human experiments like Unit 731? Wouldn't she be doomed?
Of course, she had the confidence to challenge Nie Rong.
Nie Rong, of course, didn't know what rebirth and time travel meant. He was just confused by Chen Rou's drastic changes, which is why he asked the question. But Chen Rou had the perfect explanation.
Nie Rong was so angry with her that he lost all his composure and looked like he was about to jump up and hit her, but she remained calm and composed.
She smiled and said, "Chairman Nie, you and Mrs. Mei have been together for over twenty years, sharing the same bed and sleeping in each other's arms. Do you know her? Do you understand her? Do you think she is still the same person you know now?"
She spoke the most hurtful words in the gentlest and calmest tone; these words were more effective than bullets.
When Nie Rong got up in the morning, her hair, which had been carefully styled by her personal secretary, stood up in anger, looking like a hedgehog.
He was still holding Nie Zhao's hand in one hand, and pointing at Chen Rou's nose with the other, breathing heavily in anger, but his chest was filled with the groans of old age and declining strength.
She was also afraid that if she really angered him to death, the already precarious Nie family would face new changes, which would then affect Chen Rou's plan to avenge the original owner. So she decided to call the housekeeper and the secretary to pick up Nie Rong.
But just as she turned around, Uncle Ming pushed the door open and came in: "Master, Chairman..."
“Ms. Mei…Ms. Mei Lu just called and said she’s coming to the hospital to see you right away,” Uncle Ming said.
Nie Rong was so angry with Chen Rou that he almost died, but when he heard that Mei Lu was coming, he sobered up a bit and cheered himself up. He let go of Nie Zhao's hand and beckoned to Uncle Ming: "Help me out!"
In his early years, he was foolish and misjudged people. Now, he has raised a tiger that will cause him harm. If he doesn't want to leave a mess for his son, and if he doesn't want to be despised, disgusted, and hated by his wife when he meets her in the afterlife, he must pull himself together and deal with the consequences of his stupidity one by one. And now, he has to face the person he least wants to face, Mei Lu.
He left, and Chen Rou wanted to leave too, but just as she was about to turn around, she heard Nie Zhao call from the bed: "A Rou."
Chen Rou thought he was asleep, so he remained silent while she and his father argued for a long time, but she didn't expect him to be awake.
The future richest man is getting better every day; judging from his demeanor, he is much better today than yesterday.
"Help me up," he said, extending his hand.
