Chapter 2394: Could Ji Lingfeng Be Protecting You?

She remembered that when she climbed over the wall that day, she heard someone calling out to the ones who wanted to chase after her. She was very familiar with that voice. At least, she had heard it before.
Now that he mentioned Ji Lingfeng, Qiao Nian remembered that the voice seemed to be his!
“That’s strange… He stood on Ji Ziyin’s side and was very unfriendly towards you in the past.”
Ye Wangchuan’s eyes flashed as he told her the bold guess he thought of in the past few days. “Nian Nian, have you ever thought that he might be doing this to… protect you?”
Even Gu San found this unbelievable. “Master Wang, you’re thinking too much. Why would Emperor Ji…
Ye Wangchuan leaned against the cabinet beside and calmly asked him, “Why not? Don’t you understand the situation in the independent continent?”
Gu San still felt that it was a little ridiculous.
The Ji family had always been unfriendly to Miss Qiao. Why would Ji Lingfeng protect Qiao Nian?
“The Ji family’s direct line of descent has declined, and the branch family has risen. It’s not peaceful internally. If she goes back at this time, she’ll only be roasted on the fire.” Ye Wangchuan clicked his tongue and laughed as if he had guessed Ji Lingfeng’s thoughts. “The colder he is to Qiao Nian, the more those talents in the Ji family like Ji Xiao don’t dare to act rashly. Only then can Qiao Nian do what she wants in the independent continent. This is the simplest and most effective way to protect her.”
Ji Lingfeng chose to distance himself from her to protect her.
“What about Ji Ziyin?” Gu San still did not believe it.
Ye Wangchuan’s eyes were filled with disdain. “Her? Of course, she’s Ji
Lingfeng’s biggest substitute for Qiao Nian.”
It was a pity that this substitute, including some self-righteous ambitious people in the Ji family, thought that Ji Lingfeng really thought highly of Ji Ziyin.
He did not believe that Ji Lingfeng could not tell that Ji Ziyin was not as capable as Qiao Nian.
“What you said… I have to think about it…” Qiao Nian’s head hurt. Coincidentally, her cell phone lit up.
She casually took it and pressed the screen. It was a message from Feng Yu: [Someone from the reclusive family is here.]
Qiao Nian suddenly sat up straight and narrowed her eyes, with a dangerous glint in them.
What a coincidence.
She had just found Ji Qing’s belongings, and the reclusive family appeared.
At this moment, at Martin’s place.
He was arguing with an old man with white hair and a white beard until his face was red. He clenched his fists. “How many times have I told you that Ji Ziyin is just a show!
“…She’s only relying on monopolizing other people’s research results. She doesn’t have any skills!”
Even though Martin’s face was red and his voice was loud, the person opposite him was unmoved. “Is that so? Don’t tell me you’re on good terms with Feng Yu, so you’re speaking up for him and slandering an outstanding young woman.”
Martin was so angry that his face turned green. He clenched his fists and said angrily, “Elder Yu, I, Martin, am not this kind of person.
“If she’s really talented, I won’t say anything bad about her because of anyone.
“The truth is that she doesn’t have talent. She only obtained those results by taking the unorthodox path! Those results aren’t her true strength. They’re shameful plagiarism!”
The old man sneered. “Where’s the evidence?”
Martin was furious. He gritted his teeth and said, “The people of the independent continent are all evidence.. They all know about it!”
