2218 Ji Ziyin Chooses to Lower Her Head

Ji Xiao smiled nonchalantly. He might as well make things clearer so that she would not be confused. “Both of us know that your talent in black gunpowder can’t compare to Qiao Nian. All these years, you’ve relied on hard work to learn faster than others. As long as you give Ji Hongfeng some time, he’ll be able to catch up to your progress sooner or later. At that time, will the family still place all their bets on you alone?”

“Stop talking.” Ji Ziyin hated it the most when others said that she was inferior to Qiao Nian!

However, Ji Xiao insisted on telling her. “There are still many people in the family who haven’t given up on Qiao Nian. For example, He Lin, who’s by the Patriarch’s side, has put in a lot of good words for Qiao Nian this time.

“Qiao Nian has the precious bloodline of the Ji family’s direct line of descent, and you’re just someone chosen to replace her.

“If the family hadn’t been unable to find her, do you think you would have had the chance to stand out?”

It had only taken Qiao Nian three months to enter the research institute and get chosen by Shi Fu to participate in the Level 8 laboratory’s confidential project…

Just based on this alone, Qiao Nian’s value could not be compared to ten Ji Ziyins!

Ji Xiao only regretted being too rash back then. From the beginning, he had made the relationship between the two of them irreversible. Otherwise, he would have left himself a way out long ago.

Unfortunately, there were no ifs in this world.

Ji Xiao looked at Ji Ziyin, who was lying on the bed, and shook his head. He regretted it a little and spoke even more impolitely. “Things haven’t reached the point where we can’t talk about it anymore. You still have room to fight for it. Think about what’s more important.”

Ji Ziyin bit her lip, her mouth filled with the smell of blood. She opened her eyes and did not speak.

Ji Xiao turned around and looked outside. Afraid that Ji Lingfeng and Ji Hongyuan would come in, he did not dare to delay and said to her, “The Patriarch and the others are still outside. I’ll go out first.”

Ji Ziyin’s heart sank as she watched Ji Xiao walk out of the ward without looking back.

Her gaze landed on the cell phone. Finally, she slowly reached for the cell phone.

Ji Ziyin found a phone number and dialed it.

In First Research Institute.

Cao Yanhua had just changed his clothes and walked into the laboratory when Ji Ziyin called him.

Ji Ziyin was sobbing on the other end of the call.

She kept saying that she did not do it on purpose, that she was just playing a prank, and that she didn’t expect Xie Xinyao to really poison her own aunt…

Cao Yanhua felt a headache coming on. He was too embarrassed to interrupt her.

However, he was not a fool. He understood why Ji Ziyin was calling him.

Ji Ziyin had been talking for five minutes and had yet to get to the main point, so Cao Yanhua suppressed his impatience and interrupted her. “Junior Ji, if you have anything to say, just say it. I’m in a hurry. The mentor is still waiting for me to go in and help.”

Ji Ziyin stammered for a moment before finally revealing her motive. “Senior Cao, you and Qiao Nian are both in the same laboratory. Can you speak up for me and convey my apology when you see her today?”

“This…”

The matter of Ji Ziyin instigating Xie Xinyao to poison her aunt had blown up.

Everyone in the research institute had received Ye Wangchuan’s mass email. Cao Yanhua naturally knew what Ji Ziyin had done.

Cao Yanhua’s first reaction was to frown and instinctively reject Ji Ziyin’s pleading.

Ji Ziyin did not give him a chance as she sobbed and said in a low voice, “I-I’ve already received my punishment.”
