Chapter 5

oup, it's so embarrassing.Besides, Sister Yi An married her current husband right after breaking up with Gu Cheng. Praising Sister Yi An's husband so publicly must have hurt Gu Cheng deeply."@"Cheng,X...After all, Ji Zi Yin's talent could run rampant in the Independent Continent for many years. If Qiao Nian returned to acknowledge her ancestors, the Ji family could climb another level.

With Qiao Nian's talent, it is possible for the future generations of the family to have someone become the head of the first institute.

Who would give up such huge gains right before their eyes

Even the proud Ji family would lower their noble heads in the face of immense profit.

"Didn't you make it clear to her" someone offered a way out.

He Lin wore a bitter expression, shook his head, and answered very affirmatively: "I sent her a text message. She read it but didn't reply. Later, I called her again, and as soon as she heard my name, she hung up directly. After that, when I tried calling her again, I couldn't get through."

Qiao Nian's reaction clearly showed that she knew who he was, but she didn't want to pay him any attention.

The large conference room fell silent once again, deathly so. Every elder of the Ji family wore grim expressions, unable to utter a word.

After a long time.

Someone still couldn't help but say: "But she is our Ji family's bloodline, she has the blood of the Ji family flowing in her veins. How can a direct descendant of the Ji family represent the Nan family to participate in the first Institute's assessment If this gets out, what will people think of us Isn't this a huge joke!"

The Ji family and the Nan family are both among the three major forces on the independent continent.

Joe Nian is the legitimate heir of the Ji family.

Qiao Nian didn't represent the Ji family to participate in the assessment, but she represented the Nan family, which is one of the three major forces of the independent state along with them...

This matter if it were to get out, would definitely become a laughing stock!

Ji Lingfeng supported the table with his hands, pressing his fingertips against his brow, his face flushed with irritation. He seemed to be annoyed by the arguing as well, and said in a low voice: "I didn't call all of you uncles here to argue. I wanted to hear your opinions. Should we acknowledge this person"

"Acknowledge!"

Of course I will take it back!

"Acknowledge! The direct bloodline of the Ji family shouldn't be left outside."

All opinions were very unanimous.

"Alright, I understand." Ji Lingfeng's expression eased slightly. A pair of deep eyes looked at everyone and slowly spoke: "I will try to contact her again. Before she comes back, I hope you can keep this a secret."

All the people in the conference room were those who could access the core of the Ji family. They were different from Ji Zi'in and Ji Xiao, and they didn't bother to mix with them.

So when Ji Lingfeng spoke up, everyone readily expressed their understanding and agreed not to spread the word about Qiao Nian being the estranged legitimate heir of the Ji family.

After all, these people also know that this matter is very important. Before Qiao Nian comes back, if they spread the news, it will only be their Ji family who loses face.

Ji Lingfeng nodded and said no more.

He kept one of the elders behind and let the others go first.

After everyone else had left, Ji Lingfeng quietly spoke to the elder who remained: “Uncle Liu, I wonder if you could make a special trip”

Before this, he always had He Lin and Qiao Nian handle things. Although He Lin was one of his trusted lieutenants, his status ultimately lacked something.

This Sixth Uncle left behind by Ji Lingfeng belongs to the direct lineage of the Ji family, and his seniority is precious. He is also a member of the Punishment Hall.

The old man knew what he meant when he left. He pursed his lips, a solemn expression on his aged face, and nodded, saying, "I understand."

"I'll go talk to her myself." just made it through surgery, no idea if she can handle this kind of drama.""I said, don't push me! I'm saying this three times, if you don't speak up, I'm leaving now!"Gu Cheng knew Shen Yian's weak...
