Madam’s Identities Shocks the Entire City Again

Chapter 3449: I’m Only Sorry to the Woman I’ve Loved All My Life

Editor: Atlas Studios

There was a bloodbath at the pier of the independent continent.

The Ji family’s old residence had yet to receive the news.

Several elders trapped Ji Lingfeng in the study room, stalling for time.

Ji Lingfeng had been in charge of the Ji family for more than 20 years and was not someone to be trifled with.

“Second Elder, why are you looking for me today? You’re not here to talk about Qiao Nian, are you?” At first, he believed that these people wanted to talk about Qiao Nian.

But after such a long time, he had more or less noticed something amiss.

Second Elder and the other elders exchanged glances. They couldn’t hold it in anymore. Why wasn’t the other party done yet?!

“Patriarch, you’re overthinking.”

“Then what are you doing here?”

Ji Lingfeng’s short hair was sharp, and his eyes were ruthless. Holding a fountain pen, his tall figure leaned back, clearly impatient.

Second Elder’s breathing gradually became heavier under such pressure. “Patriarch, Qiao Nian is uncontrollable. I sincerely advise you to reconsider.”

Seeing that he was finally telling the truth, Ji Lingfeng threw the fountain pen on the table and looked at them. “So as the Patriarch, I don’t even have the right to make decisions?”

Second Elder and the others knew they were being unreasonable and didn’t dare to look him in the eye. “Patriarch, that’s not what we meant. We know all the hard work you’ve put in for the Ji family, but Qiao Nian’s personality is too unreasonable and unruly. If she takes over, it’s hard to guarantee that she won’t cause trouble for the family.

“Also, you know… your mother from the reclusive families…”

It was no secret that Qiao Nian and Nie Qingru were at loggerheads.

This was also why the stick-in-the-muds of the Ji family did not want Qiao Nian to take over!

On the one hand, they wanted to use Qiao Nian’s blood. On the other hand, they were unwilling to risk offending the reclusive families and Nie Qingru for Qiao Nian.

Therefore, they always asked Qiao Nian for help whenever something happened. However, when Qiao Nian encountered trouble, they pretended not to know.

For example, they had heard about the Nie Qixing incident in Continent M, but no one in the Ji family contacted Qiao Nian or asked if she needed help.

Only Ji Nan, Xie Yun, and Nan Tianyi had called Qiao Nian.

Neither the Second and Fourth Elders, who had received Qiao Nian’s help in Ji Ziyin’s matter, contacted her.

Second Elder took a deep breath and said, “Patriarch, I hope you can consider the big picture and not be blinded by your personal feelings. How can you face the family and the old patriarch with your current actions?”

Ji Lingfeng’s hands on the table turned pale as he sneered. For the first time, a mocking smile appeared on his mature and handsome face. “It’s because I’ve been too good to you guys that I’ve let down the most important person to me.”

Back then, for the family’s sake, he missed the chance to save Ji Qing!

Now, he was so sick that he didn’t have many days to live. These people stood before him and flaunted their might, questioning whether he was worthy of the family.

“I’ve been fair to the Ji family, but I’ve let down my conscience… I’ve let down the woman I’ve loved all my life! I’ve let down my sister who cut open the darkness and pulled me out of the abyss.”

What happened back then was not a secret to these elders.

They fell silent.

It wasn’t that they agreed with him, but they could tell that Ji Lingfeng wouldn’t change his mind easily.

He had already made up his mind to return the Ji family to Qiao Nian.

It was the kind of determination that disregarded everyone’s objections and risked everything.
