There was bloodbath at the Independence Island Bay Pier.
The Ji family’s old house has not received the news yet.
Several elders trapped Ji Lingfeng in the study, trying to delay time as much as possible.
After all, Ji Lingfeng has been in charge of the Ji family for more than 20 years and he is not a pushover.
"Second Elder, what exactly did you come to see me about today? You didn't come here to talk to me about Qiao Nian, did you?" He initially believed that these people wanted to communicate with him about Qiao Nian.
After so much time had passed, he began to notice something strange.
The second elder and a few elders who were on good terms with him exchanged glances with each other, feeling a little impatient. Why wasn’t that over yet
"Patriarch, you think too much."
"So what are you doing here?"
Ji Lingfeng had sharp short hair and fierceness in his eyes. He still had the pen in his hands on the table. His tall body leaned back, and he seemed to be impatient.
The second elder's breathing became heavier in this oppressive feeling: "Clan, clan leader. Qiao Nian is too uncontrollable. I sincerely advise you to reconsider."
Seeing that he finally told the truth, Ji Lingfeng threw the pen in his hand on the table with a clacking sound, and looked around at these people: "So, as the clan leader, I don't even have the power to make decisions?"
The second elders were in the wrong and did not dare to look him in the eye: "Patriarch, that is not what we meant. We all know how hard you have worked for the Ji family, but Qiao Nian is too eccentric and undisciplined. If she takes over the Ji family in the future, it is hard to guarantee that she will not cause trouble for the family."
"You also know...your mother in the hidden family..."
It has long been no secret that Qiao Nian and Nie Qingru are at loggerheads.
This is also the reason why the old stubborn people in the Ji family don’t want Qiao Nian to take over!
On the one hand, they wanted to use the blood flowing in Qiao Nian's body for their own benefit, but on the other hand, they were unwilling to take the risk of offending the hidden family and Nie Qingru for Qiao Nian.
So what they have always done is to ask Qiao Nian for help when they encounter problems, but they pretend not to know when Qiao Nian encounters problems.
It was just like they had heard about the incident involving Nie Qixing in Continent M before, but no one in the Ji family had contacted Qiao Nian or asked if he needed help.
Only Ji Nan, Xie Yun and Nan Tianyi called Qiao Nian and asked about her.
None of the second and fourth elders, who had received help from Qiao Nian in Ji Zinyin's matter, showed up.
The second elder took a deep breath and said, "Patriarch, I hope you can put the overall situation first and not be blinded by personal feelings. Are you doing this right by the family and the old patriarch?"
Ji Lingfeng's hands on the table turned pale, and he sneered. For the first time, a sneer appeared on his mature and steady handsome face: "It's because I'm too worthy of you that I'm not worthy of the most important person to me."
He did it for the sake of the Ji family, in order to prevent these people... from missing the opportunity to save Ji Qing!
Now he is so sick that he won't live for many days. These people stand in front of him and show off their power, questioning him word by word whether he is worthy of the family.
"I am worthy of the Ji family, but I am sorry for my conscience...I am sorry for the woman I have loved all my life! I am sorry for my sister who dissected the darkness and pulled me out of the abyss."
What happened back then is no secret to these elders.
The elders in the study fell silent.
It’s not that they don’t want to put the family first anymore, but they can see that Ji Lingfeng will not change his mind easily.
He had already made up his mind to return the Ji family to Qiao Nian.
It's the same determination to do it at all costs, regardless of everyone's opposition.
