In the huge box.
Except for a few elders of the Ji family, almost everyone was present.
They are the few people in the Ji family who have a say.
Ji Zinyin's words broke the peaceful atmosphere in the box.
Everyone looked calm and composed, either drinking tea or looking at the scenery outside...
Everyone is an old fox.
No one wants to be the leader.
Ji Ziyin always knew how to take advantage of her strengths. She gave Ji Hongyuan a look to signal him to start.
A hint of anger flashed across Ji Hongyuan's sharp eyes.
The old man with the hooked nose seemed to feel the gaze coming towards him, and turned his head slightly to look over, just in time to make eye contact with Ji Hongyuan.
Ji Hongyuan took a deep breath, his face livid, and he stood up reluctantly. He picked up his wine glass and said loudly to everyone at the table: "Everyone, I know your concerns. Let me tell you my thoughts! Although Ji Nan is from the direct lineage, he has no experience in researching and learning Ji family gunpowder. He has been fooling around outside for many years. If he inherits the family, the family will definitely go downhill in the future!"
"We are all veterans of the Ji family." He slowed down his tone, looked around at the people at the table, and said in a deep voice: "I know that everyone is willing to come here today for the future of the family, not for personal gain..."
Ji Hongyuan is worthy of being the elder who once presided over the Ji family's punishment hall.
With just a few words, he livened up the atmosphere in the box.
The elders of the Ji family looked at each other, smiled, and said, "Yes, we are not here for personal grudges."
"We are also thinking about the future of our family."
"If it weren't for the future of the family, otherwise I wouldn't come here to eat this meal."
"… "
Everyone was talking and beautifying themselves as if they had no selfish motives and gathered together at night purely for the benefit of the family. Leonard glanced at the Ji family in the Independent Continent, and a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes.
He picked up the teacup to hide the sneer on his lips, interrupting everyone's pretentious performance: "Okay, let's talk business."
Ji Hongyuan turned his head and said, "I suggest skipping the Madam's step and directly appointing Ziyin as the new clan leader."
Ji Ziyin had already sat down.
At this moment she felt the eyes falling on her.
She lowered her eyes and took a sip of tea without leaving a trace, her brows full of calmness and composure, not affected by praise or criticism.
A dozen or so elders of the Ji family immediately started talking among themselves.
"This isn't a good idea, is it? Will the lady agree?"
"Yes, according to the rules, when the old patriarch dies, his children should take over the position of patriarch and become the new patriarch."
"Jinan is a direct descendant after all. There has never been a precedent of a side branch inheriting the position of patriarch. We can't break the rules, right?"
When Ji Ziyin heard them keep talking about "side branch" and "direct line", her eyes darkened and her oval face became very gloomy...
Ji Hongyuan and Ji Xiao were secretly anxious.
at this time.
There was only the sound of a teacup knocking against the table.
The elders of the Ji family, who had been discussing a lot before, became quiet.
Leonard wiped the corner of his mouth elegantly with a tissue, and then looked at them under the gaze of everyone: "When did the Independent Continent attach so much importance to the distinction between direct descendants and side branches? The hidden family has always believed that the strong are respected!"
