Chapter 2621  Ji Lingfeng: Kneel!

After the banquet ended, Ji Ziyin followed Ji Xiao and Ji Hongyuan to the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall was dedicated to the ancestors of the Ji family. Candles burned all year round, and the air was filled with solemnity.

Ji Lingfeng stood in front of the curtains of the ancestral hall as he lowered his head and lit the incense. He waved his hand and bowed respectfully to the three memorial tablets in front.

Then, he placed the incense stick on the incense holder and looked at the rising smoke. Without turning his head, he said to the three people standing at the door, "Come in."

Ji Hongyuan was the first to enter.

Ji Xiao and Ji Ziyin exchanged glances. Feeling uneasy, they followed him in.

"Patriarch, why are you looking for us?" Ji Hongyuan was not a fool. He roughly knew why Ji Lingfeng asked for him. He stood straight and said, neither servile nor overbearing, "If it's due to the matter at noon, I admit that I did not do a good job, but I don't regret it!

"You also said that we have severed ties with her. I don't understand why you invited her this time."

His eyes narrowed slightly. He was old, but his personality was still as tough as when he was young. "I won't agree to her return as long as I'm alive!"

Qiao Nian was too uncontrollable!

As an elder, he deeply sighed at the ability of this youngster. At the same time, he was also deeply afraid of Qiao Nian's ability.

Like Ji Qing, Qiao Nian had an uncontrollable personality.

Worse, Qiao Nian was even more… rebellious and domineering than Ji Qing.

Such a person would destroy the Ji family!

He would never agree to Ji Lingfeng bringing her back.

He did not regret what he did.

"Mhm." Ji Lingfeng was still calm. He looked at Ji Ziyin and Ji Xiao indifferently. "Kneel."

Ji Ziyin trembled. "Patriarch?"

Ji Xiao was not so daring as to question him, but he still hesitated.

Ji Lingfeng said coldly, "Why? Do you want me to repeat myself?"

Cold sweat dripped down Ji Xiao's back. He did not dare to hesitate anymore. He quickly walked over and knelt in front of the ancestral hall. He lowered his head and did not even dare to breathe loudly.

One had already knelt properly, and the remaining one seemed especially out of place.

Ji Lingfeng's sharp gaze landed on her.

Ji Ziyin's face was pale, and her eyes flickered. Enduring the humiliation, she slowly walked towards the ancestral hall, finally reaching Ji Xiao's side.

She mustered up her courage several times before bending her knees and kneeling.

Humiliated, Ji Ziyin said, "Patriarch, I'm sorry."

Ji Lingfeng looked at her kneeling form and ignored her.

Ji Ziyin's face turned even paler. Pinching her palm, she said in a low voice, "I shouldn't have looked at the contents of the cardboard box, but I didn't know that there was a model of a fighter plane inside. She said that it was just a toy…"

She thought there was nothing valuable inside.

Ji Ziyin was telling the truth. She did not expect the model of Falcon HTV-2 to be inside the cardboard box.

Ordinary people couldn't think of such things…

She had been tricked by Qiao Nian.

Who would have thought that an ordinary delivery box would contain a model of a cutting-edge aircraft? She herself was even covered in dust.

Ji Lingfeng stood behind her with his hands behind his back. His expression was dark and his voice was calm. "Did He Lin tell you that I asked you to come back early?"

Alarmed, Ji Ziyin immediately lowered her head to hide her uneasiness and softly responded, "He told me."
