Chapter 661: Blood Relations and the Feelings Between a Father and His Daughter
“Your only mistake? Listen to what you’ve just said. You finally took on so of the bla with so much difficulty, yet you remain so conceited.” Ji Hongwen chuckled coldly. “As expected, even when you’re old, that stupid face of yours is still so important to you. Even if front of your own child, you’re unwilling to put it down and admit the mistakes you’ve made. Qing Lin’s life has already been ruined by you. It’s been so many years since she left. Don’t you feel any guilt whatsoever? Do you still think that she was in the wrong for leaving you when she was pregnant?”
Xiao Zhenjun closed his eyes. He was silent for a mont before speaking. “It’s been so many years since she left... No matter if it was my fault, right now, I only wish to make ands to my daughter. If from the beginning to the end, Qing Lin only hated for my actions, when we reunite in the Yellow Springs [1. The underworld of Chinese mythology] a hundred years from now, I will admit my wrongdoings to her. But this doesn’t an that you, Ji Hongwen, had the right to hide my daughter away from for so many years! And to think that your birth daughter had so many opportunities to sche against her!” ”
Ji ngran, who had stumbled onto the carpet, had already beco forgotten. Now that she was abruptly ntioned, she stiffened, turning her reddened eyes toward Ji Hongwen. “Dad, I didn’t...”
Ji Hongwen closed his eyes: “In this, I admit that I raised my daughter poorly. It was my fault that ngran is involved in sothing so dirty.”
Ji ngran cried: “Dad! Even at such a ti, you’re still speaking for the outsider! This person is already planning to bring Ji Nuan away. In the future, Ji Nuan won’t be your daughter anymore. If you let the police bring away, aren’t you afraid of growing old all alone...”
Ji Hongwen closed his eyes. “Growing old on my own is still comparatively better than raising a daughter whose conscience has been eaten, and who would willingly harm her own sister in order to obtain the family’s inheritance!”
“Tsk...” Ji ngran suddenly chuckled with her bloodshot eyes: “If Ji Nuan is really the Xiao family’s daughter, do you think she would still be impressed by our small Ji Corporation?”
Ji Nuan’s supporting arm did not leave Ji Hongwen’s side. She spoke up clearly: “Don’t use your moronic logic to co up with conjectures about my thoughts. My Dad is only in his fifties. If you weren’t constantly angering him into being ill, he would be much stronger now. The Ji Corporation can last in his hands for at least thirty to forty more years. Why are you in such a rush for a piece of the inheritance? Will you not give up until you’ve chased Dad off his chairman’s seat?”
In Xiao Zhenjun’s hands, the Ling Xiao Group was just as it used to be. Since the two of them were classmates back when they were studying in Arica, and were both of the sa age, Ji Nuan felt a mont of unhappiness. What right did Xiao Zhenjun have to appear like such a healthy man, while her father was such a stark contrast?
She definitely had to arrange for dical professionals of the highest standards to be by Ji Hongwen’s side. She would make them watch as he trained his body. She wouldn’t stop until his body beca exceptionally healthy within two years.
Ji ngran cried out: “I’m not talking about that now. This is because, when I previously returned ho, Dad said that he wouldn’t leave a single cent from the Ji Corporation to ! I’ve never said that I wanted him to give up his position right now. Ji Nuan, in this Ji family, you are an outsider! Don’t drive a wedge between us family mbers!”
Xiao Zhenjun narrowed his eyes coldly at Ji ngran, who was unaware of the grave she was digging for herself. He turned to Ji Nuan. “Outsider? Nuan Nuan, co back ho with . So long as the Xiao family is around, you will never be considered an outsider.”
Without any hesitation, Ji Nuan supported Ji Hongwen to sit down on the couch. At the sa ti, she stood up from his side. She did not turn to look at Xiao Zhenjun as she spoke coldly: “The reason behind Mr. Xiao’s visit to the Ji family must be because you heard of what has recently happened to . You rushed over here because you wanted to do sothing for . I’m thankful for Mr. Xiao’s feelings, but I’m sorry. I’m unrelated to the Xiao family. As for these issues, I have my own ways of settling them. There’s no need for a distinguished guest like you to help. In addition, Mr. Xiao, you should be able to recognize that the Ji family does not welco you. Please take your leave.”
Hearing Ji Nuan’s words, Ji Hongwen raised his head in shock. Xiao Zhenjun, on the other hand, did not appear surprised. However, it was clear that he still did not expect Ji Nuan to hold onto Ji Hongwen so firmly when his daughter had sched against her to such an extent.
Xiao Zhenjun’s voice turned heavy. “You must have already guessed about this. We’ve t twice previously, and with your keen senses, you must have had several conjectures about the Xiao family’s relationship with you. You’ve remained avoidant of us the whole ti, and I can be respectful of your decision. After all, we’ve never t once in twenty years. I understand that I must feel like a stranger to you, and I’ve never done my part in raising you. But right now, the Ji family is akin to a deep abyss. There’s no benefit in staying here. Why don’t you return ho with ? We are blood-related. The feelings between a father and a daughter can be slowly nurtured. Trust , with the Xiao family around, no one will ever dare to do anything against you. So long as you have this father around, so long as I’m alive, you’ll definitely be spoiled like a princess. You will be the treasure of the Xiao family!”
“There’s no such thing as an abyss. This is where I grew up. This is my ho. The man sitting on the couch is my true father.” Ji Nuan spoke mildly: “Ji ngran’s issues are her own problem. You can’t bla my father for it. If Mr. Xiao has been standing outside for quite a while, you should have heard Ji ngran’s earlier complaints; she said that my Dad was biased toward since we were young. I’ve never suffered in any way in this family. Besides, I’m already in my twenties. I no longer have any dreams of being a princess. At the very least, the Ji family can be considered one of the four largest families in Hai City. I don’t think we are less than the Xiao family. Mr. Xiao, there’s no need for you to consider yourself above everyone else here. The ground underneath my feet here holds the mories of my childhood and carries the warm happiness my mother had in her final years. This is where my roots are truly located.”
Xiao Zhenjun watched her, his brows furrowing slowly. “Nuan Nuan.”
Ji Nuan finally turned to look at him. “Please address as Miss Ji. We’re not close to the point where you can address that way.”
Xiao Zhenjun raised his hand toward her but paused midway. After a long mont, he finally put his hand down. He turned to look out of the door and changed the topic. “The police officers have been waiting outside for a long ti. Ji Hongwen, do you still plan on throwing this troubleso daughter of yours out?”
Ji Hongwen rushed to crawl toward Ji Hongwen’s feet. “Dad... Dad... save ...”
Before she could touch Ji Hongwen, Xiao Zhenjun’s expression turned cold. Two bodyguards suddenly stepped through the door and without any further delay, they hauled Ji ngran up.
“Dad! Save ! I don’t want to go to jail, Dad—” Ji ngran imdiately struggled with all her might. She raised her voice and scread loudly but was still firmly pulled away by the bodyguards. Without any hesitation, they brought her out of the Ji family’s villa. Even after the door was shut, Ji ngran’s screams could be heard. Xiao Zhenjun only watched the shut doors coldly. He did not give Ji Hongwen any opportunity to soften his heart.
