1726 Qiao Nian Found What She Wanted!
The middle-aged man did not speak much. He had a medium build and a thin face. His facial features were outstanding and he looked more mature than Ji Nan. However, there was a thick black layer under his eyes and his lips looked dark. He gave off a sinister aura, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
“Patriarch?”
The other members of the Ji family were also waiting for his response.
Would they give her the family tree or not?
Ji Lingfeng only looked in the girl’s direction. The girl was far away and wearing a cap. He couldn’t see her face clearly, he could only see its outline.
She seemed rather eye-catching.
He retracted his gaze and instructed softly, “Give her the family tree.”
“Patriarch?”
The others were stunned. Even though they felt that she could make any requests she wanted, and the other party did not make any problematic requests, if they really let outsiders have such a private thing as the family tree, the rest of the family would feel a little uncomfortable.
“Are we just going to give her the family tree?”
Ji Lingfeng said calmly, “She’s just borrowing it for a look. She won’t really take it away.”
The rest of the Ji family looked at each other, wanting to ask him how he knew that Qiao Nian was only borrowing it for a look. What if she took it away?
However, with Ji Lingfeng’s status, not many people in the family dared to question him.
After a while, someone handed the Ji family tree to Qiao Nian, peeking at her while at it.
Qiao Nian lowered her eyes and pretended not to see it. She naturally took the family tree and flipped through it.
Master Cheng, Nie Mi, Liang Conglin, and the others at the table were speechless.
Each one was quieter and more dumbfounded than the other.
No one had expected Qiao Nian to ask for the family tree!
However, Qiao Nian was studying it seriously. None of them dared to ask questions.
…
The Jis were a large family in the Independent Continent. This kind of family could only accumulate prosperity after a hundred years.
The Ji family genealogy was thick. From their origin generation to the latest generation, it was at least a few hundred pages thick.
Qiao Nian read very quickly.
She had a photographic memory.
Master Cheng and the others saw her flipping page after page. In the blink of an eye, she flipped to the back.
Qiao Nian quickly flipped to Ji Nan’s name on the family tree.
Her fingers paused and she narrowed her eyes. She slowed down a little and did not continue flipping. Instead, she turned back and read the previous page again.
Ji Shuo, Ji Lingfeng, Xie Yun…
Her searching gaze finally stopped and landed on one name—Ji Qing!
In this generation of the Ji family, Ji Nan’s name was under Ji Lingfeng’s and Xie Yun’s names.
However, there was no one under Ji Qing. The lone name written on the side was like a special existence in the family tree.
Qiao Nian had been investigating this matter for more than a year. At this moment, she finally felt that the dust had settled.
Ji Qing was a member of the Ji family.
This result also explained why she could not find any information about her biological mother in Rao City. In addition, it also explained why there was no record of her in Beijing… Ji Qing was from the Independent Continent!
She was from the Ji Family of the Independent Continent.
A family that many royal families in Continent O were afraid of.
Then why did her biological mother leave them in the end? Why did she die at such a young age? What role did the Ji family play in this?
“Nian Nian?” Nie Mi called out to her when he saw that she was stuck on a page.
Qiao Nian suddenly came back to her senses. She closed the family tree and put it down coolly and boldly. Then, she stood up and said to the others, “Dad, Master Cheng, let’s go back.”
