Of course, caring about his sister's health was not the main purpose of his visit.
"How long has it been since you and Ye Jiuzhou saw each other?"
Nalanbo asked pretending to be nonchalant.
While talking, he stared at Nalan Xinzhu's face.
Sure enough, when he heard the word "Ye Jiuzhou", Nalan Xinzhu sat up and asked very nervously: "What happened to him? Do you know any news?"
"I did hear some rumors. I didn't want to tell you at first, but..."
"But what, brother, please stop hesitating and tell me quickly."
Nalan Xinzhu was so anxious that tears flowed out.
"I'm also afraid that your anger will attack your heart and make your illness worse."
Nalanbo sighed again and said: "Ye Jiuzhou is dead!"
What?
Nalan Xinzhu felt dizzy for a moment, as if the sky had fallen.
"No, no!"
She murmured to herself as if she was lost in thought, tears already covering her face.
"It's absolutely true. You also know that the relationship between father and son of the Ye family is simply incompatible. I heard that just a few days ago, Ye Zhen knew the whereabouts of Ye Jiuzhou, so..."
At this point, Nalanbo didn't say any more, he just kept sighing.
"No, it's impossible. Although my uncle hates Ye Jiuzhou, it is his only seedling. How could he..."
At this point, she seemed to realize something, and suddenly said with a straight face, "Brother, are you deceiving me?"
Who is Ye Jiuzhou?
One person can fend off dozens of masters without even breaking his clothes.
How could he be killed so easily?
What's more, he knew Ye Zhen's character and would never kill his own son.
Then there is only one answer!
Nalanbo is lying to her!
Originally, with her intelligence, she should have thought of it a long time ago, but after hearing the news of Ye Jiuzhou's death, she was temporarily confused, so she didn't think about it carefully.
"He is indeed the same Ye Jiuzhou from fifteen years ago!"
Nalanbo's face also darkened.
"No, Ye Jiuzhou was already dead fifteen years ago, he is not."
Nalan Xinzhu quickly explained.
"Who isn't? How do you know who I'm talking about?"
Nalanbo asked.
After hearing this, Nalan Xinzhu was immediately confused. By saying this, wouldn't it be tantamount to asking for trouble?
"Brother, listen to me..."
"No!"
Nalanbo waved his hand, "Hsinchu, you have to recognize your identity. You are not an ordinary girl, but a woman of the Nalan family. No matter what you do, you should consider the interests of the family. You know that Ye
Did Jiuzhou make us the target of public criticism? Do you know that the Hsinchu Group he asked you to create is about to collapse? "
Perhaps because he had just seen his father's face, Nalanbo seemed to have changed. "If you were not my biological sister, I would have... hmph!"
"You want to kill me? Come on, kill me!"
Nalan Xinzhu hugged his arm directly, "If you can't bear it, then do it."
Nalanbo's heart softened when he made such a fuss, "Of course I won't kill you, but that boy Ye Jiuzhou... If I had known he was so difficult to deal with, I should have killed him when he was young.
Judging from his appearance, he must have been aware of what happened back then, so he came to us for revenge!"
Nalanbo found his answer and left the room without stopping.
"elder brother……"
No matter how much Nalan Hsinchu shouted, he could not stay.
She was also stupid.
She always thought that the Ye family and the Nalan family were aristocratic families, but now it seems that this may not be the case!
…
In addition to the Nalan family, the Ji family is also very lively.
At first, after Ji Kaishan came back from the pavilion, he stayed behind closed doors. Originally, everyone had almost forgotten about him.
But in recent days, the number of visitors has suddenly increased.
"Master Ji, you have high moral character and high respect. We can no longer endure it at this time. It's time to stand up for us!"
"Then the Nalan family is too domineering. No one can stop them. I'm afraid you are the only one who can come out!"
"As long as you raise your arms and call out, you will definitely get a response. You don't have to worry about the rest, we will take care of it ourselves!!"
…
Obviously, they hated the Nalan family to the extreme and regarded Ji Kaishan as their only hope.
They also wanted to find the other three wealthy families to make the decision, but unfortunately they were too soft-spoken and the gap in status was too great, so they simply refused to see them.
There was no other way, so these people had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and come to Ji's house.
If no one with authority comes forward, they will be like a piece of loose sand, and there is absolutely no way they can defeat the Nalan family.
Ji Kaishan sat there like an old monk in meditation, saying nothing, as if he didn't hear what everyone said at all.
"Master Ji, we are all eating in the same bowl. If we are finished, the Ji family will not be spared."
"Don't you know the truth behind dying lips and cold teeth?"
"In just a few months, dozens of aristocratic families have perished, and most of them were caused by the Nalan family. If you don't take a stand, I'm afraid it will be the Ji family's turn next!"
…
Ji Kaishan is their only hope, so no one wants to give up.
Even if they were to die on their knees here, they still had to ask Ji Kaishan to come forward.
Even if it means abandoning dignity, even if it means bankrupting everything!
"Everyone!"
Ji Kaishan sighed. Although his voice was soft, the hall suddenly became quiet, "I am just a wandering cloud and wild crane. It is really difficult for me to take on such a big responsibility!"
After hearing this, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
Obviously, Ji Kaishan wanted to stay out of the matter.
"If the Nalan family is as powerful as you say, then how can our Ji family stop their ambition to dominate? If you ask me to be the leader, don't you want me to die?"
Ji Kaishan said quietly: "I don't want to see anything happen to you old friends, but I can't sacrifice the entire Ji Mansion to be cannon fodder for you, unless you can find a reason to convince me instead of using lip-destroying teeth.
Come scare me."
What he meant was already obvious.
I don’t want to wade into this muddy water unless there is some benefit!
After hearing this, everyone fell silent.
They do have money, but if they take out the money, they may not be able to gain the discernment of Ji Kaishan.
When it comes to business, it goes without saying that the Ji family's business is bigger than theirs.
However, apart from that, it is really difficult for them to come up with a convincing reason.
"You have nothing to say? Then forgive me for not being able to help!"
Ji Kaishan picked up the tea cup, obviously intending to serve tea as a farewell to the guests.
This world is such a reality, no one is willing to do anything that is not beneficial.
"Mr. Ji!"
An older man hesitated for a moment and said, "If you don't say anything secretly in front of Mingren, wouldn't it be that your younger brother, Third Master Ji, died at the hands of the Nalan family?"
