2365 Ji Ziyin Is About to Be Returned to Her Origin
“What do you mean?” Ji Nan was slightly stunned to hear this. He put the gla.s.s of water down and looked at his mother, who was sitting on the sofa, in confusion.
Didn’t his father always think highly of Ji Ziyin?
This was something that not only the Ji family knew, but everyone in the independent continent knew. Otherwise, Ji Ziyin would not have gone from a side branch family member to the leader of the main family’s younger generation…
Ji Nan frowned and tightened his grip on the cup. He kept feeling that he had touched a secret. It was just that this secret was hidden too deeply. He could not pry into its full appearance with just a few clues… This made him a little uncomfortable!
“Will those old things in the family agree with Ji Ziyin being removed from the younger generation? I’m afraid they’ll cause trouble again.” Ji Nan paused and thought of something more important.
“Don’t tell me you really think your father cares about these people?” Xie Yun gracefully lowered her head and took another sip of tea. Her elegant face did not have many traces of time, but it exuded the charm of a mature woman.
There were almost no lines around her eyes, but she was old, after all. One could vaguely tell her age from her experienced eyes.
She was not young!
Ji Nan was rooted to the ground, still unable to figure out the twists and turns.
Xie Yun did not expect him to immediately understand Ji Lingfeng’s thoughts. “Your father has made up his mind this time. Just watch. It’s useless for them to make a fuss. Ji Hongyuan, Ji Xiao, and the others around Ji Ziyin are just a motley crew. If your father really wants to remove Ji Ziyin from the younger generation, none of them can change the outcome!”
Ji Nan was silent. He asked after a moment, “Then, isn’t Ji Ziyin finished?”
“Tsk.” Xie Yun snorted. “This position doesn’t belong to her, to begin with. To put it bluntly, she was just lucky to replace someone else for more than 20 years. She’s already done enough! Now, she’s just beaten back to her original state…”
Ji Nan and Ji Ziyin had been familiar with each other for many years.
Xie Yun spoke casually and simply, but Ji Nan knew it in his heart. This outcome was undoubtedly a blow to Ji Ziyin, and she would not be able to accept it.
Xie Yun seemed to know what he was thinking. She sized him up, gracefully tidied her shawl, lowered her eyes, and said, “Some people stay in positions that don’t belong to them for too long and think that everything should belong to them. Now, she has time to calm down and look at herself in the mirror!”
A crow was a crow. Even if it stole the phoenix’s clothes and put them on, they would not become the phoenix.
A once-in-a-century genius of the Ji family?
Ha, what a huge joke!
She was not worthy.

At the same time, at Ji Ziyin’s house.
Ji Lingfeng had already left.
Ji Ziyin was sitting on the ground with tears streaming down her face.
The old servant saw her crying silently. In the end, she could not bear it and walked forward to help her. “Eldest Miss, the ground is cold. Get up first.”
Ji Ziyin did not move as if she did not hear her.
The old servant tried to help her up, but she refused. After the last attempt, she could only let go and sigh deeply. “Miss, I’ll make you a cup of hot coffee. You’re better now. Remember to drink some to warm your body.”
Then, she walked to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee for Ji Ziyin and stood beside her for a while.
In the end, the old servant returned to the living room, took off her ap.r.o.n, folded it, and tiptoed out.
As she left, she even considerately closed the door.
