On the other side.
He Lin received a call from the Ji family.
He told Qiao Nian and quickly picked it up.
Qiao Nian leaned back in her chair and lazily waited for the decision from the Ji family.
Five minutes later.
He Lin walked back with a heavy heart.
Qiao Nian saw his expression and basically guessed the answer.
"Which one did the Ji family choose?"
She had given them two choices.
He Lin quickly looked up at her, as if he had a thousand words to say. In the end, he only said, "The Patriarch has already punished the Sixth Elder and stripped him of his position as an elder of the Punishment Hall. Young Miss, this punishment is already very heavy for the Sixth Elder. He's the older generation of the Ji family's direct line of descent and has worked for the Ji family his entire life. The Patriarch can't hand him over to you.
"He's already done everything he can to give you an explanation."
