NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 3420: You Said It Was a Rumor, It Must Be False
Chapter 3420: You Said It Was a Rumor, It Must Be False
Ji Lingfeng looked at the red-eyed woman in front of him and the fine lines at the corners of her eyes. He looked away and opened his mouth, but only one sentence came out.
"I'm sorry."
Xie Yun felt a surge of anger rising from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. She wished she could have a big fight with him.
However, she couldn't vent her anger on a dying person.
Tightening her back, she turned around and said coldly, "Even if I agree, the elders are not easy to deal with. They won't agree with you!
"Also... you decided on this matter without asking Nian Nian.
"You think that giving the Ji family to her is the only thing you can do for her and the only way you can make it up to Ji Qing. But you have to be clear that you're not her! She has her own thoughts. You're not being a good uncle by making decisions for her like this."
The Ji family had always been domineering.
She knew what kind of person Ji Lingfeng was.
He was doing this for Nian Nian's own good, but did Nian Nian really want the Ji family?
She wasn't saying this for Ji Nan's sake, but from the perspective of an elder. She mentioned it in the hope he would consider it carefully.
"Back then, in order not to let the people from the reclusive families discover her strength, you didn't hesitate to fall out with her and not let her acknowledge her roots and ancestors, causing both sides to become enemies.
"Now, you took the initiative to hand the Ji family to her and let her take over your position. You didn't even ask for her opinion from the beginning to the end... I don't think she will appreciate your actions."
Xie Yun couldn't be bothered to say more and let out a shaky breath, still not facing him. "I won't go against you in front of those people, but I hope you can think about what I just told you!"
After saying that, Xie Yun did not stay to suffer. She opened the door and left without looking back.
Ji Lingfeng was left alone behind the huge desk, deep in thought.
***
The Righteousness Hall.
The elders Ji Lingfeng had called over, including those from the various halls, were all present.
The Righteousness Hall could accommodate 200 people. At this moment, it was filled to the brim. Everyone gathered with familiar people to exchange pleasantries or inquire about what was happening today.
However, whether it was the Ji family's elders or those from the halls, none of them knew why Ji Lingfeng had called them over today.
At this moment, Xie Yun walked into the Righteousness Hall.
The moment she entered, she naturally attracted everyone's attention.
The second and fourth elders were relatively familiar with her and went over to greet her. "Madam, you're here too."
"Mm." Xie Yun walked inside.
Second Elder couldn't hold back and asked her indirectly, "You just went to see the Patriarch, right? Is the Patriarch alright? There are rumors outside about his... health. I'm a little worried."
As he spoke, he constantly paid attention to Xie Yun's expression. He could form a guess as long as something in her expression changed!
However, there was no change in Xie Yun's expression, as if she did not care about what he said.
"Since when did Second Elder believe in rumors?" She looked at the shrewd old man in front of her with a faint smile and said coldly, "There are always rumors about our Ji family outside. It's found to be made up every time. It's the same this time."
Second Elder laughed and touched the bridge of his nose. For a moment, he did not know how to continue. "I've heard too much. I'm relieved since you said that it's nothing."
