2080 No One in the Ji Family Takes Jiang Zongjin Seriously

On the other side.

He Lin received a call from the Ji family.

He told Qiao Nian and quickly picked it up.

Qiao Nian leaned back in her chair and lazily waited for the decision from the Ji family.

Five minutes later.

He Lin walked back with a heavy heart.

Qiao Nian saw his expression and basically guessed the answer.

“Which one did the Ji family choose?”

She had given them two choices.

He Lin quickly looked up at her, as if he had a thousand words to say. In the end, he only said, “The Patriarch has already punished the Sixth Elder and stripped him of his position as an elder of the Punishment Hall. Young Miss, this punishment is already very heavy for the Sixth Elder. He’s the older generation of the Ji family’s direct line of descent and has worked for the Ji family his entire life. The Patriarch can’t hand him over to you.

“He’s already done everything he can to give you an explanation.”

He Lin emphasized the words ‘everything’.

Qiao Nian had been waiting for his final answer with a dark gaze. She was not surprised at this result. She gently pulled down the brim of her baseball cap, revealing her exquisite and eye-catching face with a rather arrogant gaze. “So the Ji family chose the second option?”

He Lin was silent.

Qiao Nian actually gave the Ji family two choices. First, hand over Ji Hongyuan, and this matter would have nothing to do with the Ji family. Second, protect Ji Hongyuan, and she would completely end her relations.h.i.+p with the Ji family.

Although Ji Lingfeng had punished Ji Hongyuan, it was obvious that he did not choose the second option. He only compromised and gave Qiao Nian a different answer.

He would punish Ji Hongyuan in private, but he would not hand him over to Qiao Nian!

“Okay.” Qiao Nian did not pester him anymore. She pulled out the chair and stood up. “I understand.”

Seeing that she was about to leave, He Lin panicked. “Young Miss, there’s no need for you to be enemies with the Ji family like this, right? Your father is fine, and the Sixth Elder has been punished. Why do you have to harp on this matter? Actually, as long as you lower your head slightly, the Ji family is willing to let you go back. If you go back to the Ji family, you’ll be the hope of the family’s direct line of descent. You’ll surpa.s.s Miss Ziyin in minutes.”

Previously, he had told Qiao Nian that she had a chance to surpa.s.s Ji Ziyin.

Now, he spoke about surpa.s.sing Ji Ziyin in minutes.

Indeed.

Qiao Nian had caused too many surprises in the independent continent in less than three months. Now, which faction in the independent continent did not have their eyes on this newcomer from the research inst.i.tute?

Everyone was trying their best to rope in this heaven-defying newcomer.

Especially ten days ago when Qiao Nian relied on her connection with Feng Yu to enter the Level 8 laboratory and came into contact with the core experimental project led by s.h.i.+ Fu.

This attracted the attention of the various factions in the independent continent!

Under such circ.u.mstances, as long as Qiao Nian was willing to give the Ji family a way out, it was only a matter of time before she returned.

“Young Miss, you really don’t have to be enemies with the Ji family. It won’t do you any good. The Sixth Elder isn’t someone you can touch, either. The Patriarch has already avenged you.”

He Lin knew that Qiao Nian was powerful, but in his heart, no matter how powerful she was, she was only a person, not a G.o.d.

The Ji family was a towering tree.

The tree was big and the roots were deep.

If Ji Lingfeng had not stepped up this time, Ji Hongyuan would not have been punished for this matter.

To put it bluntly, Jiang Zongjin was just an ant in the eyes of everyone in the Ji family. He was even more fragile than an ant.
