2237 She Was Clearly the Successor Chosen by the Ji Family from the Beginning

The light in Gu Hengbo’s eyes was doused. He frowned as he looked at Ji Ziyin and shook his head. “…But it seems like it won’t work now.”

Ji Ziyin’s blood was already boiling from hearing about the reclusive family. Her heart pounded, and she couldn’t help but ask, “Teacher, is there no other way?”

Since Gu Hengbo wouldn’t mention this to her for no reason.

Sure enough.

Gu Hengbo pointed at the note. His eyes darkened as he said, “There are two paths in front of you now.”

Ji Ziyin suddenly looked at him with bright eyes. She bit her lip and said, “Teacher, please speak.”

Gu Hengbo walked back with his hands behind his back. “First, try your best to fight for the position of the dean’s heir.”

Ji Ziyin’s heart suddenly sank, and she felt uneasy. “But the candidate the dean likes is…”

“We all know that the candidate he likes isn’t you.” Gu Hengbo interrupted her forcefully and looked into her eyes sharply. “As long as he hasn’t announced the successor, you still have a chance to fight for it. If you don’t fight for it, how do you know that you will definitely lose?”

Ji Ziyin pinched her palm and did not argue with him. Her lowered eyes were clearly thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

Gu Hengbo waited for her to slowly digest it herself, then said calmly, “This is the first path.”

Ji Ziyin only felt that this path was very difficult to walk. She raised her head and asked, “Then, the second path…”

“The second option is in your hands.” Gu Hengbo raised his chin slightly, indicating for her to look at the contact information on the note. He said in a soothing tone, “I know Mr. Martin, the butler of the reclusive family. That’s his contact information.”

Ji Ziyin’s heart suddenly beat faster. Her throat dried as she looked at the note nervously. “Teacher, this is…”

This was the first time she had heard of the existence of a reclusive family in the independent continent.

However, she believed that Gu Hengbo was not lying to her.

This circle really existed.

However, she was standing too low and could not see it, let alone come into contact with it… But everything would be different once she could reach the tip of this circle!

Ji Ziyin’s face had been pale and sickly ever since she entered the research inst.i.tute to get her things. Only at this moment did the color gradually return to her face.

She wished she could contact this person immediately.

Gu Hengbo could tell that she was impatient and said in a bad tone, “That’s right. This is their contact information.

“But Mr. Martin and I are just acquaintances. He won’t take you seriously even if I introduce you to him.

“However, the dean is different.”

Gu Hengbo had to admit that Feng Yu was much better than him in this aspect.

Gu Hengbo did not even look at Ji Ziyin as he said in a low voice, “The dean has an extremely good relations.h.i.+p with Mr. Martin. The two of them can be considered friends in private. The effect will be completely different if he’s willing to introduce you to Mr. Martin… This is also why I mentioned it to you even though I knew that the first path was not easy.

“This opportunity will be Qiao Nian’s once she’s chosen as the successor of the First Research Inst.i.tute! Think about it yourself.”

If Ji Ziyin was still in heaven a second ago, now she fell into an endless abyss…

She had already suffered consecutively for the past few months. How could she be willing to be suppressed by Qiao Nian again?

She was clearly chosen as the next successor of the Ji family from the beginning.
