Chapter 3383: The Ji Family's Complicated Relationship

Editor: Atlas Studios

As Ji Lingfeng’s only son, Ji Nan should call Nie Qingru ‘Grandma’.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

However, according to blood ties, Qiao Nian was the only one in the Ji family who was truly related to her. Only Qiao Nian had her blood flowing through her veins.

Hence, Ji Nan said ‘your grandmother’ and not ‘our grandmother’.

Qiao Nian frowned, looking like she wasn’t in a good mood. “I guess you can say we’re not on good terms.”

“You…” Ji Nan didn’t expect her to admit it so readily. For a moment, he didn’t know how to persuade her. After a while, he said, “You’re related to her by blood. She’s one of the few elders alive. You should communicate with her properly. With your relationship, there’s no need to cause such a scene. I heard you even forced the younger brother she raised to death? Was that for… Auntie?”

At first, Ji Nan couldn’t bring himself to say ‘Auntie’, but he felt it wasn’t that difficult after saying it.

He thought there was only a common misunderstanding between Nie Qingru and Qiao Nian.

For example, Nie Qingru doted on her younger brother too much and did not treat Qiao Nian and Qiao Nian’s mother well. That was why Qiao Nian attacked Nie Qixing.

Ji Nan himself felt that this reason was a little ridiculous. Qiao Nian wasn’t the kind of person to find fault with such a small matter.

However, Ji Nan thought about it and realized Qiao Nian was still young. It was not impossible…

“The outside world doesn’t know about your relationship, but you should know. Why don’t you talk to her properly? There’s no need to make such a fuss.”

On one hand, he advised Qiao Nian because he didn’t know about Ji Qing. On the other hand, he sincerely advised Qiao Nian since Nie Qingru only had Qiao Nian as her descendant.

With Nie Qingru’s status, there were only benefits and no disadvantages for Qiao Nian to build a good relationship with her.

That was why Ji Nan persuaded her.

“Of course, I’m just saying. The decision is still yours. No matter your choice, I’ll be on your side.”

This was what he wanted to say the most.

It was also when he was on the brink of death that Ji Lingfeng forced him to swear that he would take good care of his sister and make up for his regrets!

Qiao Nian felt frustrated upon hearing Nie Qingru’s name. However, upon hearing Ji Nan’s detailed plans for her, her frustration was gently soothed.

She rubbed the lighter and watched the flames burn and extinguish. Finally, she slowly said, “The conflict between us is deeper than you think.”

“You guys…”

“I haven’t investigated thoroughly yet. I’ll tell you when I do.” Qiao Nian interrupted him. Her tone sounded normal.

Ji Nan vaguely sensed that the inside story was very complicated, so he did not continue on this topic and instead asked about her life.

They chatted briefly before Ji Nan stopped talking. It seemed like someone was looking for him.

“I’ll call you later.”

He spoke briefly before hurriedly hung up.

Qiao Nian slowly put down her phone and put the lighter back into her sweater pocket. She frowned, recalling what Ji Nan told her about Ji Lingfeng’s situation. The more she thought about it, the stranger she felt. Hence, she sent Jian Jin a message.

[Q: What’s going on with Ji Lingfeng?]

There was no response from the other party, probably because Jian Jin had not seen the message.

Qiao Nian picked up the things on the table and got up.
