Chapter 2876 Sister Nian: Auntie, Call the Elders Back Here!
Ji Nan was telling Xie Yun about what happened over the past few days. Upon hearing his name being called, he instinctively turned to look at Old Madam Xie.
Old Madam Xie did not slip away in time. Her eyelids twitched as she stopped and laughed dryly. "Ji Nan, it"s great that you came back safely. Grandma has been very worried about you these past few days. Fortunately, you"re fine."
Xie Yun and Nan Tianyi were disgusted.
Expressionless, Xie Yun"s face was cold, and she was unwilling to talk to her.
Nan Tianyi was so angry that he scolded her. "You still know that you"re his grandmother and that we"re family."
Old Madam Xie looked at her son-in-law, who did not give her any face at all, and said with a flushed face, "I was just telling the truth."
"Your truth is to embarra.s.s your daughter in public?" Nan Tianyi asked back.
Old Madam Xie her mouth but could not refute it because of her guilty conscience. "I didn"t know Ji Nan would come back alive."
"Heh." Xie Yun sneered.
Seeing that she was ignoring her and at least did not fall out with her like Nan Tianyi, Old Madam Xie mustered her courage and earnestly said, "Lingfeng"s already dead. You guys have to find a way out for yourselves. Ji Ziyin has the reclusive families" backing. So what if you guys protect Lingfeng"s position? Ji Nan is nothing more than her…"
Old Madam Xie kept saying that Ji Lingfeng was dead.
Qiao Nian originally did not want to interfere, but now her eyes darkened, and she suddenly asked, "Who told you he"s dead?"
Old Madam Xie grew fearful every time she saw Qiao Nian. However, now caught between a rock and a hard place, she could only brace herself and confront the girl. "Everyone outside is saying…"
"Oh, you saw his body?"
"How could I…" Old Madam Xie met Qiao Nian"s cold gaze and closed her mouth resentfully, but her eyes were filled with explicit fear and hatred.
This Qiao Nian was like a demon.
She did not dare to provoke her at all.
She could still refute fearlessly with her elder status if Nan Tianyi and Xie Yun scolded her. But Qiao Nian…
She thought about how the Xie family almost ceased to exist.
Old Madam Xie s.h.i.+vered and hurriedly said, "I can"t explain it to you clearly! I won"t harm my daughter, anyway. Since you guys want to talk, I won"t be an eyesore here. I"ll leave first."
Before she could leave, Qiao Nian turned her baseball cap around, revealing her overly eye-catching face, and said, "If you don"t dare to guard the position for him, I"ll do it. If you don"t dare to interfere, I"ll do it! The direct line of descent of the Ji family is not dead yet. It"s not up to others to s.n.a.t.c.h this position!"
Old Madam Xie paused momentarily but did not dare turn around.
She ran away in a hurry.

Only Xie Yun and the other three were left in the Righteousness Hall.
Xie Yun and Nan Tianyi had just recovered from Qiao Nian"s powerful words.
Nan Tianyi felt guilty. "I"m sorry, Nian Nian. It was already too late when I arrived."
Ji Ziyin had indeed come prepared this time.
He did not expect Old Madam Xie to get involved and help outsiders s.n.a.t.c.h his daughter"s and grandson"s a.s.sets. It was too shameful and disappointing!
"Next, we…" Nan Tianyi was still considering the countermeasures.
Qiao Nian walked to a chair and sat down boldly, then casually placed her hand on the back of the chair like a big boss. Next, she said to Xie Yun, "Auntie, call the elders back here."
