Ji Ziyin's idea was to let them fight among themselves, so she raised her head and said quickly and anxiously: "You treat her as your sister, but she wants to replace you behind your back. If you continue like this, who will inherit the Ji family in the future!"
"I asked you to let go!"
Ji Ziyin's face flushed, eyes full of indignation: "Can't you see? The clan leader never considered you as the heir from the beginning to the end! It was me before, and now it's Qiao Nian...Are you willing to be recognized by your father even at your age?"
Ji Nanguo's back then stiffened and he didn't move.
Ji Ziyin breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly, "Ji Nan, the fact that she didn't tell you about the Privy Council means that she doesn't consider you as one of her own. I'm doing this for your own good."
Before she came, she had thought about what she could say to sow discord between the two.
Ji Zinyin thought she was good at judging people, so she knew very well what Ji Nan cared about most.
"You are all direct descendants, don't you want to be recognized by others?" Her tone was full of seduction.
Ji Nan lifted her hand, straightened his sleeves, and looked at her expressionlessly: "Is that all you want to tell me?"
Ji Ziyin was stunned and opened her mouth but was unable to answer.
Ji Nan laughed: "Do you think you are very smart and know how to play with people's hearts?"
"You are so smart, but you still don't understand why you were brought to the old house in the first place. Do you really think my father wants to train you to be the heir?"
Did Ji Zinyin forget that he was the direct descendant of the Ji family, and she was just brought to a side branch of the Ji family.
Apart from the gentlemanly spirit, Xie Yun had cultivated everything he needed to cultivate in him since he was a child. He just didn't like gunpowder, but that didn't mean he was an idiot.
"You said that my father intends to train Nian Nian to be the heir. I don't deny it." Ji Nan looked down at her and smiled: "But you said it was you before and it's her now... Don't you think too highly of your status?"
Ji Ziyin's face looked unhappy.
Ji Nan, however, rarely gave her face: "Except for Ji Xiao, who in the Ji family really thinks you will be the future heir? It's fine if you just dream about it at home, but you bring it up to provoke me. Don't you think it's ridiculous when you say this?"
Ji Ziyin took a deep breath, unable to control the pounding of her heart: "I didn't lie to you, Qiao Nian is going to join the Privy Council."
Ji Nan acted indifferent: "So what?"
Ji Ziyin was very disappointed: "You are also a direct descendant of the Ji family, and she replaced you without even discussing it with you. Isn't that called robbing? She is not as simple as you look."
Ji Nan's eyes were heavy: "At least she is simpler than you."
Qiao Nian would never do anything like stabbing someone in the back.
Ji Zinyin has a narrow mindset.
"Just drink slowly." Ji Nan didn't want to bother with her anymore, so he left her and strode out of the cafe.
Ji Ziyin looked at the cup of coffee opposite her that had not been touched, and Ji Nan's words before he left were still engraved in her mind.
Every word was full of sarcasm towards her.
—Do you think you are very smart and know how to play with people’s hearts
—The Ji family has never regarded you as the real heir.
Ji Ziyin tried her best to calm herself down and not take Ji Nan's words to heart, but the veins on the back of her clenched hands betrayed her. Her lips trembled as she covered her stiff and blue face with coffee, and she almost broke her teeth.
