Cold attitude.
"This is an internal matter of our family, you should not worry about it. You just entered the Privy Council, so you should worry more about the things there. After all, it is not easy for you to enter the Privy Council, and we, as elders, still hope that you can gain a firm foothold in it..."
Ji Ziyin's beautiful face twisted slightly, and the smile on the corner of her lips froze, but she didn't dare to show it. She could only smile and said, "Thank you, Second Elder."
"It's okay." The second elder patted her shoulder gently.
He clapped his hands once and then retracted them, turning around and saying to the other elders, "Clean up here, let's go back to the old house to discuss it first."
"OK."
The other elders didn't want to bother with Ji Zinyin and they all dispersed to arrange the aftermath.
Ji Zinyin became the abandoned person, standing there and watching the elders scatter.
There were so many people in the branch hall, but no one paid any attention to her.
Everyone walked past her as if she didn't exist, not even making eye contact with her.
"… "
The expression on her face changed from gloomy to happy. Finally, she couldn't hold it in anymore and walked away!
The fourth elder saw Ji Ziyin's back as she left angrily, raised his eyes, stood in front of the second elder, and said with cold and mocking eyes: "The person has left. We won't offend the hidden family, right?"
The second elder figured it out this time.
He looked at the tragic situation of the branch hall with cold eyes and snorted: "Look at our current situation, does it matter whether we offend them or not? Since it's the same whether we offend them or not, we might as well offend them!"
When the Fourth Elder heard him say, "We might as well offend him," a smile appeared in his eyes. He raised his hand and pressed it on his shoulder, silently comforting him, "I think Qiao Nian is good."
The second elder understood what he meant, but he did not give in immediately.
Qiao Nian is not bad, and he is also one of the few heirs of their direct lineage. But the problem is...
At the beginning, they had such an ugly quarrel with Qiao Nian that both sides said they would never accept each other again. Now... he was a little too embarrassed to go and find them!
The second elder frowned and said, "Let's see first!"

"Ms. Qiao, even though you are helping the Ji family so much, they may not appreciate it. Why bother..." Mo Dong was driving.
He has always been a straightforward person, and he always speaks his mind: "Look at those old guys. When you stood up for them, they hid behind you like monkeys. You let a junior stand up for them! What a joke!"
Qiao Nian was playing with her phone and had just replied to Ye Wangchuan's message. When she heard this, she raised her eyes, propped her chin with her hand, and said lazily, "I'm not helping them."
"Then who are you?" Mo Dong asked puzzled.
Qiao Nian paused for a second, as if thinking of someone.
She did not answer Mo Dong's question, but instead asked, "Didn't he always ask you to keep an eye on Leonard? What is Leonard doing recently?"
"Him?" Mo Dong, a rough man, immediately responded: "You mean Wang Ye."
Qiao Nian hummed.
He continued, "The old guy has been asking about antiques, calligraphy and paintings recently. He seems to have taken a fancy to a painting."
Qiao Nian became interested and asked him, "What painting?"
Mo Dong's scarred face turned slightly red, and he thought for a long time: "I remember! It seems to be an oil painting of flowers. What sunflower? It seems to be this flower. I heard from my subordinates that the one hanging in the M Continent Museum is a fake, and the original of this painting is in the hands of a certain force in our Independent Continent."
