The Second Elder really did not know whether to sit or stand. It was even more inappropriate for him to leave. He could only suppress his anger and say to the aggressive Qiao Nian, "We're also considering the interests of the family."
Qiao Nian did not even blink. There was not much emotion in her dark eyes as she asked him in a clear and logical manner, "So the interests of the Ji family have sothing to do with ?"
The Second Elder stuttered, "You…"
Qiao Nian did not give him a chance. She placed her left hand on the back of the chair and bit her lip as she smiled. "Don't tell you really think I'm helping you for the Ji family's benefit?"
The Second Elder's expression changed slightly. He couldn't even maintain his basic dignity. Looking at the girl's rather arrogant face, he lowered his tone. "Miss Qiao, whether you believe or not, my intentions are for the family's sake. The Patriarch is still hospitalized. I don't know when he will recover. The Ji family can't offend the Chamber of Comrce Alliance… I know this is unfair to you. We've also decided on destroying the Three Nine Gate to give you an explanation. This is already the best we can do…"
"Pfft." Qiao Nian held her chin and looked straight at him. "Do I need you to give an explanation?"
"Qiao Nian!" The Second Elder was enraged.
Every ti he spoke, Qiao Nian would slap him rcilessly. Every ti she asked him a question, he would be embarrassed.
He was an elder, after all. How could he allow a junior to embarrass him in public?
He stood up expressionlessly and said stiffly, "Since you want to ddle in the Ji family's matters, it ans that you have feelings for the Ji family. We elders have already discussed this matter and will deal with the Three Nine Gate. It doesn't matter if you agree or not. This is our decision…"
He stood while Qiao Nian sat.
Therefore, she had to raise her head slightly to look at him. Logically speaking, this should have decreased her aura. However, the Second Elder could feel her aura had turned cold. Even the way she looked at him was bone-chilling…
On the other hand, his aura seed to have been suppressed, and he was half a head shorter.
At this mont, the man quietly drinking coffee at the next table placed his cup on the table and stood up. He was tall and had long legs. His narrow eyes glanced at him as if in greeting. In the blink of an eye, he placed his hand on the girl's shoulder. "The doctor told you to remain calm."
Qiao Nian was speechless.
Seeing Ye Wangchuan walking over and talking to Qiao Nian as if no one was around, an indescribable feeling in the Second Elder's heart caused him to tense up. He glanced at them and said stiffly, "You guys chat. I still have sothing on. I'll leave first."
As he spoke, he took his things and was about to leave.
However, soone refused to let him go.
"Second Elder, why are you in such a hurry? Let's sit down and talk."
It was slow and noble as if the clouds above his head suddenly pressed down with a majestic pressure.
The Second Elder stiffened. He took a deep breath and tried to calm down. Then, he slowly turned around to face him. "What do you want to talk about?"
He did not wait for Ye Wangchuan to speak.
"Young Master Ye, let remind you. No matter your relationship with her, this is the Ji family's internal matter. It's not for outsiders to interfere!"
"Pfft." Ye Wangchuan clicked his tongue and looked at him indifferently. His eyes were clear. "When you asked her for help previously, you didn't care about outsiders."
It had to be said.
He knew how to hit a sore spot.
