2228 Stubborn Shame

In comparison, Ji Ziyin, whom they supported for 20 years, looked ordinary. Be it outside or in the research institute, she was overshadowed by Qiao Nian.

Not only that, but Ji Ziyin had also caused big trouble for the family. They really regretted not standing up for Qiao Nian the previous two times.

Things wouldn’t have come to this if they had said something fair back then!

Everyone in the Ji family was green with regret.

They were filled with dissatisfaction and kept looking in Ji Hongyuan’s direction.

Ji Hongyuan had a high status in the family and was experienced. Other than being in a sorry state when Ji Lingfeng took back the power of the Punishment Hall, when had he ever been in such a miserable state?

He could feel dissatisfied gazes from all directions.

How could he not regret it!

Even a blind person would know who to choose if Ji Ziyin and Qiao Nian were placed together!

However, he did not expect an ordinary girl from Beijing to have such ability to stir up the situation in the independent continent.

There was no medicine for regret in this world.

However, since he had chosen Ji Ziyin, there was no turning back.

“What’s the point of saying all this now? We’ve already made our choice. Furthermore, no one had any objections at that time. Now that she said that she made the wrong choice, do you think that with her bad temper, she will return to the Ji family just because you go looking for her?”

Ji Hongyuan sneered as if he was mocking their fantasies.

“She never thought of coming back!”

Someone was unconvinced. “If the Sixth Elder hadn’t…”

“She’s a disaster if she comes back!”

Ji Hongyuan was unwilling to admit he did anything wrong and interrupted the other party. “Look at her style of doing things. Do you think she will even take the Ji family seriously? At the very least, Ji Ziyin knows how to respect us and how to contribute to the family.”

Most of those present did not agree with him.

Would Ji Ziyin work hard for the family?

Yes, Ji Ziyin was indeed desperately trying to stabilize her position and climb up… However, wasn’t the trouble she caused this time too big?

At least Qiao Nian did not cause any trouble.

Ji Hongyuan did not give the others a chance to refute him as a trace of coldness flashed across his eyes. “She has also been chased out of the research institute. Without the backing of the First Research Institute, she won’t be able to cause much trouble. She will be a nobody in the future!”

Previously, there had been rumors that Feng Yu was looking for an heir.

Qiao Nian was out.

“Even if she has her own power in the illegal district, she’s still nothing in the independent continent!” Ji Hongyuan could only try his best to convince himself now. The more he said, the more he would believe himself. “She’ll fall sooner or later!”

Ji Lingfeng did not even look at him. He only instructed He Lin calmly, “Talk to the Nan family again and try your best to come up with a solution.”

Although what Ji Hongyuan said was ridiculous, there was one thing that he pointed out—they had already chosen Ji Ziyin!

Hence, this time, the Ji family could only choose to protect Ji Ziyin.

“Yes, Patriarch.” He Lin felt terrible. He nodded and turned around.

“Also.” Ji Lingfeng tapped his finger on the table as he thought for a moment and then added, “Get Ji Nan to come back. From today onwards, he will learn from Master Yu and the others.”

The Ji family also had their own black gunpowder expert. Previously, these people had all served Ji Ziyin alone.

Now, Ji Lingfeng’s attitude has changed.

Ji Ziyin’s status was in danger!

“Also… Ji Hongfeng from the younger generation.” Ji Lingfeng raised his hand and said disdainfully, “Let him learn with him.”
