Ji Ziyin wanted them to fight internally. Thus, raising her head, she said anxiously and quickly, âYou treat her as your sister, but she wants to replace you behind your back. If you continue like this, who knows who will inherit the Ji family in the future!â
âl told you to let go!â
Ji Ziyinâs face turned red, and her gaze became indignant. âCanât you tell? The Patriarch has never placed you in the position of the heir! It was me in the past, and now itâs Qiao Nian⦠Are you not willing to be recognized by Father at your age?â
As expected, Ji Nanâs back stiffened and he stopped moving.
Ji Ziyin heaved a sigh of relief and slowly said, âJi Nan, since she didnât tell you about the Privy Council, it means that she doesnât treat you as one of her own at all. Iâm doing this for your own good.â
Before coming, she had already thought of what to say to sow discord between the two of them. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ji Ziyin thought that she was good at judging people, so she knew what Ji Nan cared about the most.
âYouâre both direct descendants. Donât you want to be recognized?â Her tone was bewitching.
At this moment, Ji Nan pushed her hand away, tidied his sleeves, and looked at her expressionlessly. âIs that all you want to tell me?â
Ji Ziyin was stunned. She opened her mouth, but Ji Nan laughed before she could answer. âDo you think youâre very smart and know how to play with peopleâs hearts?
âYouâre so smart, but you still donât understand why you were brought to the old residence in the first place. Do you really think my father was grooming you to be the heir?â
Did Ji Ziyin forget that he was the direct descendant of the Ji family while she was only brought from the side branch?
He had been taught to be a gentleman since he was young. Xie Yun had nurtured everything that needed to be nurtured. He just did not like politics and gunpowder, but that did not mean he was a fool.
âl donât deny that my father intends to nurture Nian Nian as the heir.â Ji Nan looked down at her and smiled. âBut you said that it was you in the past, and now itâs her⦠Arenât you overestimating your status?â
Ji Ziyinâs expression turned ugly.
However, Ji Nan did not give her any face, âOther than Ji Xiao, who else in the Ji family really thinks that you will become the future heir? Itâs fine if you want to dream, but you even used it to sow discord between us. Donât you think itâs ridiculous?â
Ji Ziyin took a deep breath, her heart beating uncontrollably. âIâm not lying to you. Qiao Nian wants to enter the Privy Council.â
Ji Nan appeared very cold. âSo?â
Ji Ziyin expected better from this. âYouâre also a direct descendant of the Ji family. She didnât even discuss it with you before replacing you. This is called stealing your position, right? Sheâs not as simple as you think.â Ji Nanâs gaze darkened. âAt least sheâs simpler than you.â
Qiao Nian would never pull such a cheap trick.
Ji Ziyin was too narrow-minded.
âDrink slowly.â Ji Nan did not want to be entangled with her anymore. He left her and strode out of the cafe.
Ji Ziyin looked at the untouched cup of coffee opposite her. Ji Nanâs parting words were still imprinted in her mind.
Every word was filled with mockery.
âDo you think youâre very smart and know how to play with peopleâs hearts?
âThe Ji family has never treated you as the true heir.
Ji Ziyin tried her best to calm down and not take Ji Nanâs words to heart, but the veins on the back of her hand betrayed her. Her lips trembled as she used the cup of coffee to cover her stiff and ashen face, and she almost gritted her teeth.
After taking a deep breath, rubbing her face, and sobering up, she got up, paid the bill, and left the cafe.
Qiao Nianâ¦
She had thought that she would be able to enter a new stage in her life soon..
Why was Qiao Nian unwilling to let her off and always wanted to take it from her!
