1922 Still Wanting Qiao Nian to Return to the Ji Family
He thought that after he finished speaking, the girl would look at him with interest.
However, to Ji Hongyuan’s surprise, Qiao Nian only held a cup of plain water in her hand. She didn’t even look up, as if he was talking to thin air.
Ji Hongyuan immediately frowned, revealing a displeased expression. His expression darkened significantly.
He Lin was anxious.
He yearned to remind Qiao Nian how extraordinary Ji Hongyuan’s status in the family was. He wanted Qiao Nian not to make him unhappy.
!!
However, such an occasion was not something he could interrupt at will. No matter how anxious he was, he could only worry at the side.
“…The Nan family hasn’t managed to enter the First Research Institute in almost twenty years. There’s almost no one to take care of you there.” Ji Hongyuan watched her every move with eagle eyes. He poured a cup of tea for himself and smiled, then continued condescendingly, “You clearly have a better choice. There’s no need to go against the family. It won’t do you any good to continue going against the Ji family.”
“Oh.” Qiao Nian finally put down the glass. The bottom of the glass hit the table. She leaned back lazily and said, “Did you call me here to say this?”
Ji Hongyuan didn’t know what she meant.
Qiao Nian didn’t beat around the bush. She raised her snow-white chin slightly, her clear almond-shaped eyes cold. She tugged at her baseball cap, saying slowly, “It’s my turn to speak now. Let me make myself clear. I’m not here to return to the Ji family, nor do I want to benefit from you. I’m here to tell you not to call me if there’s nothing important… It’s a little annoying. It’s affecting me.”
He Lin’s eyebrows twitched, and his expression changed. Not caring less about the occasion, he hurriedly tried to smooth things over. “Young Miss, don’t be rash. The sixth hall master asked you out because he values your performance. He usually doesn’t care about these things…”
Qiao Nian picked up her cell phone and stood up. She looked down at the old man sitting opposite her and said indifferently, “I’ve already made it very clear that I’m not interested in the Ji family. Let’s go our separate ways and not interfere with each other.”
Just as she was about to leave…
Ji Hongyuan’s expression finally changed. His expression darkened slightly and he asked, “Qiao Nian, are you unwilling to return to the Ji family because of your father?”
As soon as he finished speaking, already having walked to the corridor, the girl suddenly stopped in her tracks, but she did not turn around.
Ji Hongyuan’s expression darkened. He placed the teacup on the table and continued, “Your father doesn’t want you to acknowledge your roots? Is it because of the Jiang family in Beijing…”
There was a guess and a threat in his words.
The Ji family’s direct line of descent had withered, and Ji Nan was the only one left in this generation.
Ji Nan’s thoughts were not on the nuclear technology that the Ji family relied on to survive. As a direct descendant of the Ji family, he naturally wanted to find a way out for the direct descendants.
Qiao Nian was the best choice.
However, after hearing He Lin’s words that day, he also wanted to give a warning to the young girl.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Nian was pletely unpredictable, causing him to be in a passive situation. He had no choice but to use threats to suppress the girl’s arrogance.
“The Jiang family in Beijing is about to decline, right?” Seeing that the girl had stopped, Ji Hongyuan knew that he had made the right move. Qiao Nian clearly cared a lot about the Jiang family.
