Madam’s Identities Shocks the Entire City Again

Chapter 2879  Sister Nian: Do You Know This?

He was not afraid of Ji Nan and Xie Yun.

What could an orphan and a widow do?

But Qiao Nian…

Ji Hongyuan saw from the corner of his eye that the girlʼs eyelids were twitching and grew terrified.

Qiao Nian had never played by the rules, nor did she care about rules or qualifications. A huge force was also at her disposal. No one could stop her from doing what she wanted.

Therefore, since Ji Hongyuan entered, he did not even dare to make things difficult for Qiao Nian. Instead, he looked for trouble with Xie Yun. ”Madam, donʼt forget. Even if Ji Nan isnʼt the next Patriarch, youʼre still the former Madam. Please prioritize the family!”

Unlike him, Xie Yun was calm. She asked with a peaceful expression, ”Are you done?”

Ji Hongyuan was stunned. He pursed his lips and found it inappropriate to continue. With a cold expression, he waved his hand and looked at the other elders. ”In any case, I wonʼt agree to let a direct descendant who hasnʼt acknowledged her ancestors take over the position of next Patriarch!”

Qiao Nianʼs lips curled into a mocking smile. ”Pfft.”

Ji Hongyuanʼs scalp went numb. He pulled a long face and righteously asked, ”What are you laughing at?”

Qiao Nian raised her leg and said, ”Do you think I want to fight for the Patriarchʼs position with Ji Ziyin?”

Ji Hongyuan immediately frowned. ”Isnʼt that so? Ji Nan hasnʼt even studied black gunpowder and hasnʼt entered the research institute. He definitely isnʼt qualified to fight for the position. Only you…”

Qiao Nian narrowed her eyes and interrupted him impatiently. ”Ji Nan is from the direct bloodline.”

Ji Hongyuan was suppressed by her aura and could not say anything.

Qiao Nianʼs gaze swept across the entire Righteousness Hall, passing over everyoneʼs faces, cold and sharp as a knife. ”Since when has it been your turn to decide whoʼs going to be the next Patriarch? The successor of the direct line of descent hasnʼt returned, yet youʼve already decided on the next Patriarch? And a thief at that? Why? Is the Ji family going to change paths and develop a new business in the future?”

Ji Ziyin and her teacher, Gu Hengbo, were in cahoots. The incident of academic theft was the stone hammer of the First Research Instituteʼs official announcement.

No matter how much Ji Hongyuan tried to quibble, he could not clear his name.

The elders who still had some backbone were slightly embarrassed. They looked left and right but were too ashamed to look at Ji Nan and his mother.

Qiao Nian did not indulge them. ”Oh, or are you so eager to curry favor with the reclusive families?”

”Enough!” The Second Elderʼs face was exposed. Angry, he said in a low voice, ”This is an internal matter of our family. It has nothing to do with you! Did Ji Nan put you up to this? Let him say it himself.”

Ji Nanʼs heart seemed to have been set on fire. His handsome face turned icy as he took a step forward.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Nian unhurriedly took out a black eagle-shaped jade carving from her shoulder back. Tossing it on the table, she raised her eyebrows and asked the Second Elder and the others, ”Do you know what this is?”

Xie Yun was shocked. ”This is?!”

The jade emblem was only the size of a palm, with a lifelike eagle carved on it.

The eagleʼs eyes seemed almost alive.

She knew perfectly well that the eyes were made of an extremely rare black diamond. That was why the eagleʼs eyes seemed to come alive under the light.

Xie Yun recognized the badge.

How could the elders not recognize it? It was the seal that symbolized the Patriarchʼs power.
