Chapter 3472: Sister Nian's Aura Was Full
The situation at the old residence was exactly as Xie Yun had imagined.
Second Elder and the others were about to compromise when they heard a commotion outside. Right on the heels of that, they knew that someone had been sent to the hospital.
The sly old foxes instantly changed their attitudes.
When He Lin finished dealing with the Third Southern Hall matters and went to look for them, Second Elder and the rest had ashen expressions and insisted that there was a
misunderstanding. They wouldn't deal with those people from the Third Southern Hall for the time being and requested to see Ji Lingfeng to explain to him in person.
However, Ji Lingfeng was still being operated on in the hospital.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Of course, He Lin couldn't accept their request.
As a result, the situation fell into a deadlock.
Second Elder and the others weren't in a hurry. They sat on the red sandalwood chairs in the Righteousness Hall and drank tea while urging He Lin to report to Ji Lingfeng.
He Lin knew these people were deliberately making things difficult for him. They likely had already discovered that the Patriarch was not feeling well and had gone to the hospital, but he couldn't do anything about it.
After a short stalemate, He Lin was about to use the clan rules to force the elders to face their act of betrayal with the Third Southern Hall when someone jogged in from outside and
whispered in his ear, saying that Qiao Nian and Ji Nan were coming.
"What?" He Lin was surprised and delighted. He looked at Second Elder and the others with newfound confidence. "I'll go to the door immediately."
Then, he left the room full of people behind and ran out.
Second Elder vaguely felt things might be developing in a bad direction.
Someone asked, "Who's here? Could it be the Patriarch? Is the Patriarch back from the hospital?"
"Not the Patriarch."
Second Elder had yet to figure it out, but he knew in his heart that Ji Lingfeng was seriously ill. It was unlikely to be him.
"Then..."
Everyone was looking at him.
Second Elder composed himself and frowned. Then, he said in an uncertain tone, "Maybe it's Young Master Nan."
"Oh."
The elders calmed down. Going by the contempt they showed, it was clear these sly old foxes didn't take Ji Nan seriously at all.
Indeed, Ji Nan had not officially followed Ji Lingfeng to interfere in the family's affairs all these years. It was obvious it was a last-minute decision for him to take over the family.
Even if Xie Yun came along, they might not take her seriously.
From the beginning to the end, they were only afraid of one person-Ji Lingfeng.
He was also a direct descendant of the Ji family.
However, just as they convinced themselves it was Ji Nan, messy footsteps came from outside. It sounded like there was more than one person.
Second Elder and the others held their breaths and waited for Ji Nan to appear.
Among the people who came into view was Ji Nan, accompanied by He Lin, who had just run out.
However, that was not the main point.
Who could tell them why Qiao Nian was here?!
Second Elder instinctively stood up. His aura had already weakened before Qiao Nian could even speak.
"You..."
The girl brushed past him and walked straight to Ji Lingfeng's seat. Her sloppy temperament did not change, but her sharp gaze landed on Second Elder like a knife.
"I heard that Second Elder wants to vouch for those people from the Third Southern Hall?"
Second Elder's facial muscles tightened, and he subconsciously retorted, "We don't have enough evidence to prove that they betrayed the family..."
Qiao Nian couldn't be bothered to listen to his nonsense. She threw a lighter on the table and looked up at him. "What are you using to vouch for them? Your mouth?"
Second Elder was rendered speechless by her aggressiveness. He could only brace himself and reply, "How do you want me to vouch for that?"
