Chapter 1732 - 1732 'Ordinary Person' Qiao Nian
1732 ‘Ordinary Person’ Qiao Nian
“Instead, we should find out why Ji Nan suddenly came back.”
The Ji family’s future should be inherited by Ji Nan, but Ji Lingfeng’s attitude was vague.
Moreover, as a member of the Ji family, Ji Nan had no interest in black gunpowder at all. It could be said that he knew nothing about it.
Ji Lingfeng paid special attention to Ji Ziyin.
As time went by, the Ji family’s hearts naturally became unsettled. Some people placed their chips on Ji Ziyin and wanted to take a gamble.
Ji Xiao was one of them.
He wasn’t interested in an unimportant girl from Country Z at all. Compared to Qiao Nian, he was more concerned about Ji Nan’s movements.
Ji Ziyin explained her thoughts to him politely. “I just feel that Qiao Nian isn’t as simple as she looks. She gives me a very familiar feeling, but I can’t explain it for a moment.”
Ji Xiao frowned. He still didn’t want to pay attention to a girl from Qing University. “They’re leaving tomorrow. It doesn’t matter to us if there’s anything complicated behind this.”
“They’re leaving tomorrow?” Ji Ziyin was usually busy. She had to go to the research institute and study. She was so busy every day that she didn’t have time to sleep.
She rarely took small matters of the Independent Continent to heart.
For example, when outsiders would leave.
If it weren’t for Qiao Nian this time, she wouldn’t have paid attention to any foreign forces.
“They’ll leave early tomorrow morning.” Ji Xiao took a sip of coffee and put down the cup. “They and the other forces in the Paradise Hotel will leave tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I think you’re thinking too much. Since our people can’t find out anything about Qiao Nian, it means that this is a coincidence. No matter how hard you try, you won’t be able to find anything. We might as well focus on serious matters…”
Ji Ziyin didn’t say anything and lowered her eyes as if she was thinking.
After a while, she suddenly looked up and said to the others, “I’ll take some time to go to Country Z after I’m done with my experiments.
“I still think that she wouldn’t want to look at the family tree for no reason. Besides, black gunpowder isn’t something that anyone can come into contact with.”
She had a feeling that Qiao Nian’s ability to handle things with ease was shocking.
Ji Ziyin was shocked, but at the same time, she became more vigilant.
She certainly didn’t think anyone was more gifted than she was in this area, but when it came to black powder, she was a cautious person. Since she couldn’t find out the other party’s background at this stage, she had to check again.
“Do you care so much about Qiao Nian? She’s just an ordinary person. How can she be worthy of your attention? If you’re really worried, you can just send someone to Jing City to investigate. There’s no need to make a trip yourself…” Ji Xiao still didn’t think much of it. His words and actions didn’t hide his contempt for Qiao Nian at all. “She’s just an outsider. She can’t even be considered a member of the Independent Continent! There’s no need for you to care about such a person.”
However, Ji Ziyin was unmoved. She narrowed her eyes and said calmly, “Second Uncle, you don’t have to say anything else. I’ve already decided.”
Ji Xiao frowned when he saw her persistence. He more or less disagreed with her, but he and Ji Ziyin could be considered to be using each other.
He couldn’t put on airs in front of her, but he did not think much of it.
A girl from Country Z had ‘coincidentally’ learned a little about black gunpowder manufacturing. Ji Ziyin was taking such a small matter too seriously!
