"Yes, I also agree." Someone immediately chimed in.
The person beside him nodded in agreement. His aged brow revealed the arrogance of someone who had been pampered. Suppressing his composure, he said slowly, "Patriarch, since she's a member of our direct line of descent, I don't think we can let her wander outside. Her upbringing is a little lacking. She grew up in Rao City and has never come into contact with our Independent Continent. The education and upbringing she has received are not satisfactory...
"However, these are all small problems. After she acknowledges us, we'll get someone to teach her well. These can be slowly changed.
"It's mainly because her talent is amazing. We can't let her enter the research institute on behalf of the Nan family. It's time for her to know some things... such as her background."
This person was an elder of high status in the Ji family.
The other agreed as soon as he spoke.
"Yes, why should the Nan family benefit from our Ji family's bloodline?"
"Patriarch, let's acknowledge her." "Yes, I also agree to acknowledge her." The huge meeting room was filled with discussion. Everyone was whispering to each other and nodding in agreement. It was as if whether Qiao Nian wanted to return to the Ji family or not was up to them alone!
Everyone had the same thoughts as He Lin back then. If the Ji family was willing to acknowledge someone back, how could that person not be willing?
They thought that Qiao Nian would be grateful and so excited that she would be incoherent.
Deep down, they had never thought that the other party would be unwilling to return to the Ji family!
After all, the Ji family of the Independent Continent was such an amazing existence. No matter how many people racked their brains, they could not touch their threshold.
Yet, they were willing to accept a bumpkin who had not grown up in the Independent Continent. They felt that they were already open-minded enough.
What other objections could Qiao Nian have?
Ji Lingfeng listened to their discussion expressionlessly. Then, he put down his teacup and raised his chin slightly, signaling He Lin to come over.
"Patriarch." He Lin walked to his side with a complicated expression and greeted him respectfully.
