1911 Slap in the Face, Sister Nian Doesn’t Want to Acknowledge Them at All!
“Yes, I also agree.” Someone immediately chimed in.
The person beside him nodded in agreement. His aged brow revealed the arrogance of someone who had been pampered. Suppressing his composure, he said slowly, “Patriarch, since she’s a member of our direct line of descent, I don’t think we can let her wander outside. Her upbringing is a little lacking. She grew up in Rao City and has never come into contact with our Independent Continent. The education and upbringing she has received are not satisfactory…
“However, these are all small problems. After she acknowledges us, we’ll get someone to teach her well. These can be slowly changed.
“It’s mainly because her talent is amazing. We can’t let her enter the research institute on behalf of the Nan family. It’s time for her to know some things… such as her background.”
This person was an elder of high status in the Ji family.
The other agreed as soon as he spoke.
“Yes, why should the Nan family benefit from our Ji family’s bloodline?”
“Patriarch, let’s acknowledge her.”
“Yes, I also agree to acknowledge her.”
… .
The huge meeting room was filled with discussion. Everyone was whispering to each other and nodding in agreement. It was as if whether Qiao Nian wanted to return to the Ji family or not was up to them alone!
Everyone had the same thoughts as He Lin back then. If the Ji family was willing to acknowledge someone back, how could that person not be willing?
They thought that Qiao Nian would be grateful and so excited that she would be incoherent.
Deep down, they had never thought that the other party would be unwilling to return to the Ji family!
After all, the Ji family of the Independent Continent was such an amazing existence. No matter how many people racked their brains, they could not touch their threshold.
Yet, they were willing to accept a bumpkin who had not grown up in the Independent Continent. They felt that they were already open-minded enough.
What other objections could Qiao Nian have?
Ji Lingfeng listened to their discussion expressionlessly. Then, he put down his teacup and raised his chin slightly, signaling He Lin to come over.
“Patriarch.” He Lin walked to his side with a complicated expression and greeted him respectfully.
Ji Lingfeng nodded and instructed him unhurriedly, “Come, tell the hall masters the details.”
More than ten pairs of eyes looked at him in unison.
He Lin became a little nervous. He straightened his back, pursed his lips, and said with difficulty, “Hall Masters, I’ve already contacted Young Miss half a month ago. Young Miss should have known about her background long ago…”
“She already knows?”
“If she knew, why did she represent the Nan family to participate in the research institute’s assessment?”
“She…”
There was a commotion in the huge meeting room.
He Lin looked up at everyone, then lowered his head again and continued silently, “Young Miss should know her background, but she hasn’t contacted me. I even called her yesterday, but she didn’t pick up. After that, she even blacklisted me… I think Young Miss might not be willing to come back.”
Everyone in the Ji family was already used to giving charity to others in a high and mighty fashion. They had never thought that someone would not want their charity.
She even disdained it.
She ignored them.
The conference room grew silent.
Some people’s eyebrows twitched violently, while others wanted to say something but hesitated.
However, when they thought of Qiao Nian’s results in the research institute’s assessment, they suppressed their anger and dissatisfaction.
They really didn’t dare to say that she didn’t know how to appreciate favors.
