Madam’s Identities Shocks the Entire City Again Novel - Chapter 2204

2204 It’s Time for the Ji Family to Make a Decision
Ji Xiao did not know that Ji Ziyin had gone to look for Xie Xinyao, nor did he know that Xie Tingyun had been poisoned and almost died.

Therefore, at Ji Hongyuan’s question, he subconsciously shook his head and turned to look at Ji Lingfeng. He lowered his head and said respectfully, “I-I don’t know.”

“Patriarch, Ziyin…”

Ji Hongyuan’s bloodline was basically destroyed this time. He hated Qiao Nian deeply. Before Ji Xiao could finish, he asked the mature man sitting in the high seat, “Patriarch, I know you care about your family. She’s… that person’s only bloodline.”

At first, Ji Lingfeng had a calm expression. At this, a sharp gaze landed on Ji Hongyuan. Even at Ji Hongyuan’s age, he was almost suffocated by this aura.

However, everything had been ruined by Qiao Nian. He could not take this lying down.

He came looking for Ji Lingfeng this time to say this.

Ji Hongyuan looked away from Ji Lingfeng. He still raised his head and said forcefully, “But as you can see, she’s unwilling to return or work for the family! Since we’ve already decided to abandon her, among the family’s younger generation, only Ji Ziyin can bear the burden of leading the Ji family in the future. We can’t lose her…”

The Ji family had already made their choice last time.

Most people chose Ji Ziyin.

Ji Ziyin was known as the once-in-a-century genius of the Ji family, but the main members of the family knew well how exaggerated it was.

If Ji Ziyin really had Ji Qing’s talent in the past, why did they not take sides for so long?

Ji Ziyin was suppressed by Ji Nan because her ability was limited. They did not want to hand over the Ji family’s future to someone with limited capabilities.

Qiao Nian was originally an unexpected ‘surprise’.

However, she refused to return to the family.

It was fine if Qiao Nian refused to come back, but she was still investigating Ji Qing’s death and even… going against the Ji family.

They had no choice but to choose between Qiao Nian and Ji Ziyin. Ji Hongyuan and some people chose Ji Ziyin, and some chose to be neutral.

However, Qiao Nian had been too ruthless to the Ji family these two times. Some of the people who had maintained a neutral attitude were on the verge of siding with Ji Ziyin.
“Patriarch, Ji Ziyin is the new generation we think the most highly of in the research institute. We can’t leave her behind.”

Ji Hongyuan knew that if he did not add some shocking news, Ji Lingfeng might still choose to side with Qiao Nian.

He patted his right arm heavily and stared into Ji Lingfeng’s eyes. “This was how my right hand was crippled. Do you want the only person in the Ji family’s younger generation who can inherit the family to become crippled like this?

“Patriarch, it’s time for you to make a decision!”

Ji Lingfeng was still silent.

Ji Hongyuan was unable to endure it anymore. His face reddened as he said agitatedly, “You should not care about this matter. I can only call all the elders of the Ji family over and discuss how to deal with it.

“Her situation now will only make things worse if she’s handed over to the council hall to handle… At that time, it’ll be even more impossible to clean up the mess.”

Anxious, He Lin looked at Ji Lingfeng. “Patriarch, why don’t I call Young Miss and ask?”

He felt that Qiao Nian was not the kind of person who would cause trouble for no reason.

Ji Ziyin must have done something to anger her.

If they helped Ji Ziyin this time, Qiao Nian’s relationship with the family would only become more distant and move towards an irreversible outcome.

Ji Lingfeng was silent for a moment. His dignified eyes seemed to have already made a decision. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his face was as calm as water.

He instructed, “Bring her back.”
