Chapter 3439: I Never Said I Wanted the Ji Family

Editor: Atlas Studios

Behind him, He Lin persuaded in a low voice, “Patriarch, listen to Miss Qiao… Since you want to hand the Ji family to her, wouldn’t it be slapping Miss Qiao’s face if you refuse her now?”

His last sentence was the key to convincing Ji Lingfeng.

Ji Lingfeng rubbed his glabella and closed his eyes before opening them again. He looked at the girl with his deep eyes. “Think about it carefully.”

What?

Qiao Nian felt there was a hidden meaning in his words.

However, the best way to resolve the matter now was to quell the internal strife in the family first. Otherwise, someone would attack Ji Nan again in the future.

Countless eyes stared at them from all over the independent continent, waiting to fish in troubled waters.

“Mm.”

She responded.

Seeing this, Ji Lingfeng waved his hand. “Tell them to leave.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Yes, Patriarch.” He Lin quickly went to do it.

…

Everyone in the Righteousness Hall looked at each other. They wanted to leave, but they didn’t dare to be the first to stand up.

Qiao Nian didn’t waste her breath on them. Not looking at them, she took a lighter from her pocket, smiled, and impatiently said, “I said I’d give you half an hour.

“Those who are still here in half an hour won’t be able to leave ever again!”

The elders paled. They knew her style well.

Ji Lingfeng might still be wary of them, but Qiao Nian… She had blown up their ancestral hall.

What could she not do?

Second Elder had interacted with Qiao Nian previously because of Ji Ziyin. Before leaving, he composed himself and said, “It’s not that we don’t want to agree, but this matter involves too much. It concerns the family’s future. We don’t want the Ji family to be involved in murky waters because of you…”

After saying that, he did not dare to stay any longer and left without looking back.

After everyone had left, Qiao Nian dragged out a chair and sat down to face Ji Lingfeng. Feeling a headache, she asked, “There were a few people outside when I arrived. What happened?”

Before Ji Lingfeng could speak, coming back from outside, He Lin happened to hear this and quickly answered, “The Patriarch wants to hand the family to you.”

Finding it ridiculous, Qiao Nian looked at the sickly middle-aged man.

Ji Lingfeng avoided her gaze but did not retort. He only said tiredly, “I don’t have much time left.”

Qiao Nian’s chest tightened. She did not feel anything. It was just a little uncomfortable, but it was not the kind of discomfort that made her feel like she was about to die.

She pursed her lips and stared at him with her dark eyes. “I never said I wanted the Ji family.”

Ji Lingfeng did not look at her. “It’s not just for you.”

He avoided the girl’s eyes and suppressed the pain in his lungs as he said in a dignified and cold voice, “My body can’t last long…”

“Then go see a doctor!” Qiao Nian disliked the meaningless conversation and interrupted him. She met Ji Lingfeng’s surprised gaze and said coldly, “Since you’re not feeling well, go to the hospital. Treat your illness however you want. Rest when you need to.

“Will you be able to live longer if you give me the Ji family?

“I’m not a god. Even if you give me the Ji family, I can’t make you live for a few more years. Besides, I don’t want the Ji family! I grew up in Rao City. What does the Ji family have to do with me?”

Ji Lingfeng was silent for a moment. “I know my body well.”

Furious, Qiao Nian stood up and pushed her chair away. “Alright!”

She couldn’t care less if he didn’t want to live anymore!

Could she save someone who didn’t want to live?
