She remembered that when she climbed over the wall that day, she heard someone calling out to the ones who wanted to chase after her. She was very familiar with that voice. At least, she had heard it before.
Now that he mentioned Ji Lingfeng, Qiao Nian remembered that the voice seemed to be his!
âThatâs strange⦠He stood on Ji Ziyinâs side and was very unfriendly towards you in the past.â
Ye Wangchuanâs eyes flashed as he told her the bold guess he thought of in the past few days. âNian Nian, have you ever thought that he might be doing this to⦠protect you?â
Even Gu San found this unbelievable. âMaster Wang, youâre thinking too much. Why would Emperor Jiâ¦
Ye Wangchuan leaned against the cabinet beside and calmly asked him, âWhy not? Donât you understand the situation in the independent continent?â
Gu San still felt that it was a little ridiculous.
The Ji family had always been unfriendly to Miss Qiao. Why would Ji Lingfeng protect Qiao Nian?
âThe Ji familyâs direct line of descent has declined, and the branch family has risen. Itâs not peaceful internally. If she goes back at this time, sheâll only be roasted on the fire.â Ye Wangchuan clicked his tongue and laughed as if he had guessed Ji Lingfengâs thoughts. âThe colder he is to Qiao Nian, the more those talents in the Ji family like Ji Xiao donât dare to act rashly. Only then can Qiao Nian do what she wants in the independent continent. This is the simplest and most effective way to protect her.â
Ji Lingfeng chose to distance himself from her to protect her.
âWhat about Ji Ziyin?â Gu San still did not believe it.
Ye Wangchuanâs eyes were filled with disdain. âHer? Of course, sheâs Ji
Lingfengâs biggest substitute for Qiao Nian.â
It was a pity that this substitute, including some self-righteous ambitious people in the Ji family, thought that Ji Lingfeng really thought highly of Ji Ziyin.
He did not believe that Ji Lingfeng could not tell that Ji Ziyin was not as capable as Qiao Nian.
âWhat you said⦠I have to think about itâ¦â Qiao Nianâs head hurt. Coincidentally, her cell phone lit up.
She casually took it and pressed the screen. It was a message from Feng Yu: [Someone from the reclusive family is here.]
Qiao Nian suddenly sat up straight and narrowed her eyes, with a dangerous glint in them.
What a coincidence.
She had just found Ji Qingâs belongings, and the reclusive family appeared.
At this moment, at Martinâs place.
He was arguing with an old man with white hair and a white beard until his face was red. He clenched his fists. âHow many times have I told you that Ji Ziyin is just a show!
ââ¦Sheâs only relying on monopolizing other peopleâs research results. She doesnât have any skills!â
Even though Martinâs face was red and his voice was loud, the person opposite him was unmoved. âIs that so? Donât tell me youâre on good terms with Feng Yu, so youâre speaking up for him and slandering an outstanding young woman.â
Martin was so angry that his face turned green. He clenched his fists and said angrily, âElder Yu, I, Martin, am not this kind of person.
âIf sheâs really talented, I wonât say anything bad about her because of anyone.
âThe truth is that she doesnât have talent. She only obtained those results by taking the unorthodox path! Those results arenât her true strength. Theyâre shameful plagiarism!â
The old man sneered. âWhereâs the evidence?â
Martin was furious. He gritted his teeth and said, âThe people of the independent continent are all evidence.. They all know about it!â
