1851 Sister Nian Has Long Arrived in the Independent Continent
"Aren't you too indulgent of Ji Ziyin?" That person was not tactful at all. "She, Ji Xiao, and the rest are about to form a small force in the family. If I remember correctly, our family still has a direct descendant who has wandered outside."
The elder's words carried weight. He looked at Ji Lingfeng. "There are still people in the family's direct line of descent. There's no reason for a collateral branch to replace the direct line of descent."
A direct descendant was a direct descendant, and a collateral branch was a collateral branch!
No matter how bad the direct descendants were, they were still the direct descendants. No matter how outstanding the collateral branches were, they were still collateral branches.
There was a difference in status!
"Of course, this is only my personal opinion. Patriarch, think about it carefully. I won't disturb you."
Then, he walked out with his walking stick.
He Lin waited for everyone to leave before brewing a cup of strong tea for Ji Lingfeng. He carefully observed the man's expression before saying softly, "Patriarch, have some tea."
"Mhm." Ji Lingfeng picked up the teacup. There was nothing unusual about his appearance.
He took a sip of tea and put down the teacup. Then, he looked at He Lin with his dark eyes and asked, "Have you found out the identity of the Miracle Doctor that Ji Nan found?"
"I haven't had the time to investigate. I'll report to you immediately after I find out." After He Lin placed the tea on the table, he stood respectfully at the side.
Ji Lingfeng responded and picked up his teacup to take a sip. He casually asked, "By the way, have you contacted the person I asked you to contact previously?"
He Lin reacted quickly and immediately realized that he was talking about Qiao Nian.
He immediately frowned and his expression became awkward. "I, I sent a message to Young Miss, but…"
Ji Lingfeng glanced at him suspiciously. "But what?"
He Lin braced himself and continued, "But Young Miss didn't reply to me."
Ji Lingfeng was stunned and could not react in time.
He Lin's old face was hot and flustered. He was embarrassed. He wished he could find a hole to hide in. He said softly, "I told Young Miss the reason I contacted her and even asked her to meet me. But she never replied to me."
He hesitated for a moment and raised his guess. "Patriarch, do you think Young Miss didn't receive the message?"
He was sure that his message had been sent successfully.
Moreover, it showed that the other party had read it. It was obvious that Qiao Nian had received the message and read it.
However, He Lin waited and waited, but there was no reply.
There hadn't been a single message for the past two days!
Not to mention asking to meet him!
Qiao Nian didn't even ask about the Ji family of the Independent Continent. Her indifferent attitude made it seem like she already knew her background!
He Lin was filled with doubts.
He didn't think that Qiao Nian would know her background.
If Qiao Nian knew that she was a direct descendant of the Independent Continent's Ji family, what reason would she have to not acknowledge her family?
She could still return to Beijing and the Jiang Family as if nothing had happened… This in itself did not make sense!
Therefore, He Lin felt that Qiao Nian must not know her background.
He only suspected another possibility—Qiao Nian might not have seen the message.
The reason why the message showed that it had been sent and the other party had read it was that his cell phone was broken.

He Lin still didn't know that the girl he was thinking about was already in the Independent Continent.
She was also the Miracle Doctor that Ji Nan had found!
Qiao Nian was in Ji Nan's car. She supported her chin with one hand and played with her phone with the other.
If Ji Nan took a closer look, he would realize that the chat software she logged into was completely different from the chat software on the market.
It was red with an "S" symbol.
After Qiao Nian logged in, she went straight to Guan Yan and sent a message.
