Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
He was not afraid of Ji Nan and Xie Yun.
What could an orphan and a widow do?
But Qiao Nian…
Ji Hongyuan saw from the corner of his eye that the girl’s eyelids were twitching and grew terrified.
Qiao Nian had never played by the rules, nor did she care about rules or qualifications. A huge force was also at her disposal. No one could stop her from doing what she wanted.
Therefore, since Ji Hongyuan entered, he did not even dare to make things difficult for Qiao Nian. Instead, he looked for trouble with Xie Yun. “Madam, don’t forget. Even if Ji Nan isn’t the next Patriarch, you’re still the former Madam. Please prioritize the family!”
Unlike him, Xie Yun was calm. She asked with a peaceful expression, “Are you done?”
Ji Hongyuan was stunned. He pursed his lips and found it inappropriate to continue. With a cold expression, he waved his hand and looked at the other elders. “In any case, I won’t agree to let a direct descendant who hasn’t acknowledged her ancestors take over the position of next Patriarch!”
Qiao Nian’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “Pfft.”
Ji Hongyuan!s scalp went numb. He pulled a long face and righteously asked, “What are you laughing at?”
Qiao Nian raised her leg and said, “Do you think I want to fight for the
Patriarch’s position with Ji Ziyin?”
Ji Hongyuan immediately frowned. “Isn’t that so? Ji Nan hasn’t even studied black gunpowder and hasn’t entered the research institute. He definitely isn’t qualified to fight for the position. Only you…”
Qiao Nian narrowed her eyes and interrupted him impatiently. “Ji Nan is from the direct bloodline.’
Ji Hongyuan was suppressed by her aura and could not say anything.
Qiao Nian’s gaze swept across the entire Righteousness Hall, passing over everyone’s faces, cold and sharp as a knife. “Since when has it been your turn to decide who’s going to be the next Patriarch? The successor of the direct line of descent hasn’t returned, yet you’ve already decided on the next Patriarch? And a thief at that? Why? Is the Ji family going to change paths and develop a new business in the future?”
Ji Ziyin and her teacher, Gu Hengbo, were in cahoots. The incident of academic theft was the stone hammer of the First Research Institute’s official announcement.
No matter how much Ji Hongyuan tried to quibble, he could not clear his name.
The elders who still had some backbone were slightly embarrassed. They looked left and right but were too ashamed to look at Ji Nan and his mother.
Qiao Nian did not indulge them. “Oh, or are you so eager to curry favor with the reclusive families?”
“Enough!” The Second Elder’s face was exposed. Angry, he said in a low voice,
“This is an internal matter of our family. It has nothing to do with you! Did Ji
Nan put you up to this? Let him say it himself.”
Ji Nan’s heart seemed to have been set on fire. His handsome face turned icy as he took a step forward.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Nian unhurriedly took out a black eagle-shaped jade carving from her shoulder back. Tossing it on the table, she raised her eyebrows and asked the Second Elder and the others, “Do you know what this is?”
Xie Yun was shocked. “This is?!”
The jade emblem was only the size of a palm, with a lifelike eagle carved on it.
The eagle’s eyes seemed almost alive.
She knew perfectly well that the eyes were made of an extremely rare black diamond. That was why the eagle’s eyes seemed to come alive under the light.
Xie Yun recognized the badge.
How could the elders not recognize it? It was the seal that symbolized the
Patriarch’s power..
