The second elder of the Ji family, who had managed to keep his face steady with the help of the engraving, almost froze again: "Young Master Ye, please be careful with your words."
"Do you think I'm giving you face?" Ye Wangchuan ignored him and said directly: "She came out to participate in the treasure hunt for you, saved face for you, almost got injured for you, and took risks alone for you..."
The second elder of the Ji family frowned and said, "What do you want to say?"
Ye Wangchuan lowered his hand, grabbed the girl's uninjured hand, forced her five fingers apart, and intertwined their fingers with hers.
He held the person firmly in his hand, then raised his head and continued in a slow tone: "You still think that she needs you to give an explanation in order to get a fair result. Isn't it that I am giving you too much face? Otherwise, how could you be spoiled and lawless, and really think you are something. I have to beg you to give a fair explanation to the person I care about!"
The second elder of the Ji family's heart trembled for a second, and he subconsciously looked in the direction of Qiao Nian, as if he hoped that Qiao Nian would stand up and persuade Ye Wangchuan not to do anything stupid at this critical juncture.
Qiao Nian's eyes had been fixed on the man who ran over and grabbed her hand, but later she realized that the second elder of the Ji family was looking at her.
She was stunned for a second, then realized what the other person was thinking and couldn't help laughing out loud.
She laughed impolitely and wantonly. After a few short laughs, she suddenly put away the smile on her lips, licked her lips, and pulled the corners of her mouth. She was beautiful and evil, and she was not easy to mess with. She said bluntly to the second elder of the Ji family who was still counting on her to help him out: "I never care about the life and death of the Ji family. Your interests and the life and death of the Ji family have nothing to do with me! I only care about those one or two people, but if you think you can use this to restrain me, it's ridiculous."
"I will explain it to them clearly. It would be best if they can understand. If they can't understand, it means they are not worth my effort."
Qiao Nian said loudly: "I'm determined to make a move on the Chamber of Commerce Alliance!"
She turned her head and looked at the second elder of the Ji family, her eyes revealing a bone-chilling coldness: "As for you... just let me understand one thing."
"… "
The second elder of the Ji family looked at the thin lips opening and closing, and said arrogantly: "...A dog that cannot be fed should be sobered up with a big stick."
The second elder of the Ji family's face turned pale and red after being scolded by Qiao Nian. He pinched his palms for a long time and couldn't recover, but he didn't dare to talk back.
Before coming, he vowed that he could deal with Qiao Nian and persuade her not to pursue the matter.
But now Qiao Nian's reaction undoubtedly gave him a loud slap in the face, telling him that it was useless to try to restrain her with moral kidnapping.
Just like what she said, she didn't care about the life or death of the Ji family at all.
But she had risked her life for the Ji family these days, taking many risks, and even breaking up with the First Research Institute... How come she no longer cares about the family's interests
The second elder of the Ji family complained bitterly. He could not regret it at this point. He could only meet the girl's gaze and hesitantly reminded her: "Qiao Nian, you have the blood of the old patriarch in you after all."
What it means is that you are always a member of the Ji family.
"Oh." The girl responded, her expression casual but serious tone: "Then let him crawl out of his grave and ask me for his blood. If he comes to me in person and asks for it, I will give it back to him."
Ye Wangchuan couldn't help but glance at her sideways, the corners of his lips raised, and he squeezed their clasped hands imperceptibly.
