She was about to leave with a sullen face.
Xie Yun, He Lin and Ji Nan had never expected that things would get to this point just from a few words.
For a moment, I didn't know how to ease the tense atmosphere between the two of them.
Qiao Nian walked to the door and suddenly stopped without looking back. His back was straight and his tone was still cold and hard as before, not warm.
"You knew that going to Continent M would be dangerous, so why did you go?"
Ji Lingfeng thought she would leave without looking back, just like she had done many times before, but he didn't want to hear the questions the girl asked him.
He was silent for a while. After all, he didn't want to impose the grudges of the previous generation on her and let her bear things that she shouldn't bear at this age.
“…It has nothing to do with you.”
"good."
The girl still didn't look back. This time she walked with big strides without even turning her head back. Her back quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
He Lin watched Qiao Nian leave, and then he couldn't help but say to the man: "Patriarch, why did you lie to Miss Qiao? You clearly..."
"That's enough!" Ji Lingfeng interrupted him and said tiredly, "I'm tired, help me go back."
This time Qiao Nian let these elders and hall masters go. He still has to think of other ways to make these people compromise and agree. He doesn't know if his body can hold on until then.
Ji Nan took the lead, silently helped him up, held his arm, and said calmly: "Dad, I'll take you back to your room."
Ji Lingfeng saw his much more mature profile, and then remembered what He Lin said before that he alone stopped everyone outside the hall...
In the end, she didn't say anything and let him help her leave.
Xie Yun looked at the backs of the father and son walking away, and her eyes were touched. She tilted her head and said to He Lin, "You said that when he was in the Black Sea, he would rather give the only lifeboat to his son. Why did you make the decision this time without even asking Ji Nan's opinion?"
In fact, Xie Yun knew very well that Ji Nan didn't want the Ji family. As long as Ji Lingfeng opened his mouth to talk to Ji Nan, it would only take a few words.
Unfortunately, both father and son were like gourds with sawed mouths, one more twisted than the other, and neither was willing to speak their mind. He Lin looked at Ji Lingfeng's disappearing back, not knowing how to answer her, and only whispered: "Madam, are you not angry?"
Xie Yun smiled and said nothing.
Is she angry
Of course!
She was angry that Ji Lingfeng did not put Ji Nan first. Everything else was fine. After all, she truly loved Qiao Nian because he had saved her own sister.
Besides, what does this have to do with Qiao Nian? It was all caused by our family and we didn’t even ask for their opinions beforehand.
**
Outside.
Qiao Nian walked out of the old house, looking at his phone all the way. When he reached the door, he finally followed his heart, took out the number in the address book and called.
After a few rings, I picked up the phone.
"Hey, how's it going? Did you find out who that person is?"
Qiao Nian narrowed his eyes slightly, and said thoughtfully: "Mr. Zhong, can you do me a favor?"
Zhong Yiliu was stunned by her, and said with full energy: "With our relationship, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. If I can help you, how can I not help you?"
Qiao Nian didn't bother to be polite with him: "I would like to trouble you to come to the Independent Continent, and also to bring those medicines for conditioning the body that you mentioned."
Zhong Yiliu was not stupid, and he immediately understood something from her words: "So that person is indeed... Emperor Ji?"
When Qiao Nian raised her eyes, she saw Ye Wangchuan, Qin Si and others waiting for her outside. Mo Dong was also directing the cleanup of the scene.
She paused and slowed down: "Yes."
"It's him."
