Ji Ziyin wanted them to fight internally. Thus, raising her head, she said anxiously and quickly, “You 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!”
“l told you to let go!’
Ji Ziyin’s face turned red, and her gaze became indignant. ‘Can’t you tell? The Patriarch has never placed you in the position of the heir! It was me in the past, and now it’s Qiao Nian… Are you not willing to be recognized by Father at your age?”
As expected, Ji Nan’s back stiffened and he stopped moving.
Ji Ziyin heaved a sigh of relief and slowly said, “Ji Nan, since she didn’t tell you about the Privy Council, it means that she doesn’t treat you as one of her own at all. I’m doing this for your own good.”
Before coming, she had already thought of what to say to sow discord between the two of them.
Ji Ziyin thought that she was good at judging people, so she knew what Ji Nan cared about the most.
“You’re both direct descendants. Don’t you want to be recognized?” Her tone was bewitching.
At this moment, Ji Nan pushed her hand away, tidied his sleeves, and looked at her expressionlessly. “Is that all you want to tell me?”
Ji Ziyin was stunned. She opened her mouth, but Ji Nan laughed before she could answer. “Do you think you’re very smart and know how to play with people’s hearts?
“You’re so smart, but you still don’t 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?”
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.
“l don’t deny that my father intends to nurture Nian Nian as the heir.” Ji Nan looked down at her and smiled. “But you said that it was you in the past, and now it’s her… Aren’t you overestimating your status?”
Ji Ziyin’s expression turned ugly.
However, Ji Nan did not give her any face, “Other than Ji Xiao, who else in the Ji family really thinks that you will become the future heir? It’s fine if you want to dream, but you even used it to sow discord between us. Don’t you think it’s ridiculous?”
Ji Ziyin took a deep breath, her heart beating uncontrollably. “I’m not lying to you. Qiao Nian wants to enter the Privy Council.”
Ji Nan appeared very cold. “So?”
Ji Ziyin expected better from this. “You’re also a direct descendant of the Ji family. She didn’t even discuss it with you before replacing you. This is called stealing your position, right? She’s not as simple as you think.” Ji Nan’s gaze darkened. “At least she’s simpler than you.”
Qiao Nian would never pull such a cheap trick.
Ji Ziyin was too narrow-minded.
“Drink slowly.” 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 Nan’s parting words were still imprinted in her mind.
Every word was filled with mockery.
—Do you think you’re very smart and know how to play with people’s hearts?
—The Ji family has never treated you as the true heir.
Ji Ziyin tried her best to calm down and not take Ji Nan’s 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 Nian…
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!
