Lord Yan, The Little Ancestor Has Fallen Off The Horse Again!-Chapter 552: It’s All Fake!

"Just doing my usual, where are you at home or someplace else? It’s time for your medical treatment," Yun Yue’s lips slightly curled upwards.

The days have been counted, just half a month.

"At home, do I need to send someone to pick you up?" Ji Xian asked with concern.

"No need, Xiao Chen will come for me," Yun Yue said as she hung up the phone and stood at the gate of Tianqi, waiting for her ride.

Ji Ling walked over and stood beside Yun Yue.

"You must be very pleased with yourself right now!" Ji Ling turned her head and stared at Yun Yue.

Yun Yue’s brows lifted, "Yeah, you’ve noticed, have you? But haven’t I always been like this? Why, you just realized it today?"

Ji Ling’s teeth clenched, her eyes filled with malice as she glared at her.

"Sooner or later, you’ll pay for your arrogance!"

A Maybach stopped in front of Yun Yue, and she turned to Ji Jun, "I’m going to the Ji Family, not the company with you."

Ji Jun nodded slightly. He had driven there and going to the company was convenient for him.

Yun Yue walked down the steps nonchalantly, paused at the car door with a warning tone, "I don’t like playing games or beating around the bush. You better not drag my grandfather into our issues, or else I’ll make you realize that being alive can be the most painful thing in the world."

After speaking, she bent at the waist and sat in the passenger seat. The car door slowly closed, and it drove off.

Ji Ling broke out in cold sweat down her back, not understanding why she was so frightened by Yun Yue.

"Miss Ji, are you alright?"

Several people looked at her worriedly.

Were they on the wrong side? Seeing Miss Yun’s attitude, Miss Ji was no match for her. Was it still possible for them to switch to Yun Yue’s side?

"Of course, I’m fine, better than ever!" Ji Ling’s eyes lowered, hiding the malice beneath them.

"Cold watermelon juice," Xiao Chen handed it to her.

Yun Yue took it, squinting her eyes and enjoying herself while sipping the chilled watermelon juice through the straw.

The watermelon juice was very pure and wonderfully cold, perfect for beating the heat.

Seeing that Xiao Chen must be tired from driving, she reached out to put the straw to his lips, "Have a sip."

Xiao Chen took his hand off the steering wheel—the car, being an automatic, would drive itself.

He gently took a sip, "Indeed, quite good."

Soon, the car entered the Ji Family estate.

Housekeeper Ji was already waiting outside.

"Miss Yun, the Elder Master and the clan elders are all inside."

Yun Yue’s step faltered and she turned to look at Xiao Chen.

"Since there’s business to discuss, text me when you’re done," Xiao Chen cupped her face and planted a kiss on her like a dragonfly skimming water, handed his bag to Housekeeper Ji, and then turned to leave.

...

In the Ji Family’s council hall, Ji Xian sat solemnly and authoritatively in the main seat, the clan’s elders seated on either side. Their gaze at her wasn’t as disapproving as before, but a few still had strong opinions, scoffing and turning their heads upon seeing her.

"Yue, come sit over here," Ji Xian waved his hand, indicating for her to sit on the left side.

After a while, Ji Ling also arrived and took her place on Ji Xian’s right side.

"Everyone is here, let’s begin," Ji Xian spoke, and the seated clan elders began to talk.

"Today’s Tianqi Group tender has concluded, and with that, the first item of the assessment is complete. For the second item of the assessment, after discussion amongst all clan elders, it’s been decided that the Ji Family Heir must be a member of one of the three DMP laboratories at Jing University," the lead elder spoke.

"That’s just making things difficult for someone. Yun Yue is just a freshman at Jing University this year. All those talented students there are only assessed in their senior year. This is clearly a trap set for Yun Yue! Besides, Ji Ling is already a prospective member of Lab D, this is unfair to Yun Yue."

Ji Ling, who knew the truth, remained silent.

"Actually..." Yun Yue began in a soft voice.

"There’s nothing fair or unfair, Yun Yue’s mother joined the P lab in her freshman year, so naturally, she can too."

"You! You’re just being arbitrary!"

Those in support of Yun Yue were somewhat upset, clearly biased in favor of Ji Ling.

"May I say a couple of things?" Yun Yue interrupted them.

"Go ahead," Ji Xian spoke, and no one dared to stop her.

"Actually, I’m already a prospective member of the DMP lab. I just haven’t received the notification yet." After Yun Yue finished speaking, she fell silent.

"Prospective DMP lab member?! What do you mean by that?!"

For a moment, they didn’t understand what Yun Yue was talking about.

Yun Yue just sat there, remaining silent no matter how they questioned her; if she said she’d speak two sentences, then it was only two sentences.

"What Yue means is that she’s now a prospective member of three labs at Jing University," Ji Xian spoke with undisguised pride.

Others couldn’t pass one, but his granddaughter aced three! And with full marks at that!

"Elder Ji, is this true? You’re not fooling us?!" another elder asked with some disbelief.

"It hasn’t been officially announced, but Dean Ding has already messaged us a few people, there’s no mistake," Ji Xian said leisurely.

"This, this is an incredible joyous occasion. This means the Ji Family has just gained members in three labs, and in the future, the resources allocated to the Ji Family will only increase!"

The Ji Family was glorious back when Ji Wenjun and Elder Ji were around.

Elder Ji was wise and resourceful, while Ji Wenjun was exceptionally intelligent, winning a lot of resources for the Ji Family. No one expected his daughter to outdo them both, securing resources from three labs all at once!

The clan elder who supported Yun Yue excitedly rose from his chair, somewhat losing his composure, but he couldn’t care less at that moment. He looked at Yun Yue with one hundred and twenty percent satisfaction.

"I think there’s no need to compete any further; Yun Yue is the most suitable choice for Ji Family Heir."

She was of Ji Family blood after all; how could an outsider be the Ji Family Heir?

Ji Ling may carry the Ji surname, but she isn’t born to the Ji Family.

If she became the Ji Family Heir, wouldn’t the Ji Family eventually follow an outsider’s name?!

"That’s right, I also think there’s no need to continue the competition. Yun Yue carries Ji Family blood; her inheriting the Ji Family is beyond doubt."

Watching one after another stand up in support of Yun Yue, Ji Ling’s face turned whiter with each moment, biting her lower lip.

Looking at these clan elders who weren’t harsh to them on normal days, it was a case of kicking someone when they’re down. These people had promised her before, but upon seeing the limitless benefits Yun Yue could bring to the Ji Family, they immediately pushed her out!

She is of Ji Family blood...

Was this not a covert jab at her being an outsider?

Besides blood, everything about her belonged to the Ji Family; she grew up in the Ji Family, working desperately hard to study and get their recognition, only to be denied everything because she "doesn’t carry Ji Family blood."

She couldn’t accept it!

She would make them regret the choices they made today!

She ran straight out of the conference room, and as if on cue, a torrential rain began to fall outside. She had thought at least someone would follow her out, but when she turned around, no one was there.

She wandered the streets of Beijing aimlessly like a walking corpse.

Watching the passersby and vehicles, her heart felt extraordinarily desolate.

Without the Ji family, she had nowhere to go in the vast city of Beijing.

Why had fate treated her so unfairly?!

The Ji Family had adopted her, and from a young age, she was told that she was to be the future Ji Family Heir, the fiancée of the Xiao Family...

But one by one, everything was snatched away by Yun Yue!

"It’s all fake! Fake!" Ji Ling screamed, her tears mingling with the rain.
