Second Brother actually wants Jiang Nian to go to his room?!
Ji Yuwei stood there in disbelief.
Didn't Li Ma say that Jiang Nian was only found and brought back to the Ji family the day before yesterday?
Moreover, apart from her eldest brother, Jiang Nian had only met her other six brothers once, the day before yesterday.
Why is Fifth Brother so close to her, bringing her cakes and baked egg tarts when he comes back, not even minding the egg tarts she's already bitten into? Second Brother even invited Jiang Nian to his room and asked if it was convenient for her?
Neither her second nor fifth brother had ever treated her like that.
Ji Yuwei's face turned pale.
A strong sense of resentment welled up inside me.
What did her mother's actions have to do with her grandfather's lung disease, which caused him to fall ill? She was just a baby back then.
If it weren't for her father, Ji Linyuan would still be dead. She is the daughter of the Ji family's savior!
They're both younger sisters, shouldn't they be treated equally?
Just because of their blood relation, Jiang Nian has only been in the Ji family for less than three days, yet her brothers already dote on her so much.
Because she was not related by blood, even though she grew up in the Ji family, her brothers never kept their distance from her and never truly treated her as a sister!
Why is it so unfair to her?
Jiang Nian nodded and said to her second brother, "Okay."
The reason why the six older brothers concealed the Ji family's background was that they did not want to rely on family connections to develop in their respective fields, but only wanted to rely on their own efforts and abilities.
Ji Yanci is twenty-eight years old this year.
The fact that he became a professor at Peking University's School of Finance at such a young age, without anyone questioning it, is because of his solid resume, abilities, and research achievements.
I went into my second brother's room.
Apart from the eldest brother, the other brothers don't usually live at home; they only come back to stay when they have free time.
My second brother's bedroom is clean and tidy, with lush greenery visible through the floor-to-ceiling windows. A full-wall bookshelf is densely packed with original and translated books from both domestic and international sources.
On the meticulously organized desk lay a stack of exam papers, which Jiang Nian found familiar at first glance.
Ji Yanci sat in the chair and gestured for Jiang Nian to sit next to him.
He nodded slightly, and his long, slender fingers opened the paper.
“Niannian, I had the head of the teaching department at Yingzhong fax me a copy of the nine test papers you did today.”
"Your mathematical talent is indeed very high. No matter how these math problems are changed, you have a three-dimensional operating model in your mind. It's just that the values you substitute are different."
"So you don't need to draw diagrams and write formulas step by step like ordinary people. The answer you give also breaks out of the framework of the senior year math system."
Ji Yanci pushed up his glasses and looked at his sister, but his tone was not as cold and sharp as it was towards others.
"Niannian, high school questions are too easy for you. Studying in your senior year would be a waste of your talent."
“Kyoto University has elite programs that allow students to directly pursue master’s and doctoral degrees without taking the college entrance exam. If you want to come to Kyoto University, whether it’s the mathematics department or the finance department, your second brother can help you contact professors for interviews.”
So that's why my second brother called me over.
Jiang Nian spoke up, "Thank you, Second Brother, but I want to stay at Yingzhong High School to finish my senior year."
Ji Yanci wasn't surprised, but he still asked, "Why?"
Others would be overjoyed to hear about the opportunity to be admitted to Peking University without taking the entrance exam, but he could sense that his sister was different from others.
“I really like the atmosphere in Class 36,” Jiang Nian said. “Although the students in this class don’t have very good grades, they are all very friendly.”
So that's how it is.
Ji Yanci pondered for a few seconds: "How about this, I have a few days off this time when I go home. The day after tomorrow night I will give a lecture at Yingzhong on the construction of efficient learning methods, which will probably be helpful to your classmates."
Although Jiang Nian hadn't learned about it, she knew that her second brother held a high position in academia and was usually very busy with work.
Giving lectures is something that most schools can't get him to do.
Jiang Nian asked, "Won't this trouble Second Brother?"
Ji Yanci's gaze behind his gold-rimmed glasses was calm: "I would find it troublesome for others, but not for Nian Nian."
"...Thank you, Second Brother."
Ji Yanci hesitated for a moment, then reached out and patted Jiang Nian's head, saying lightly, "No need to thank me, you don't need to stand on ceremony with your own brother."

I ate the small cake that Fifth Brother brought home, and then I ate two egg tarts that Fifth Brother baked himself.
Jiang Nian and her fifth brother went upstairs to visit their maternal grandfather.
Before even entering the room, I could hear Ji Yuwei's choked voice coming from inside.
"Grandpa, it's so good that you're getting better."
"You have no idea how worried I was when I heard you were critically ill. I stayed up all night filming these past few days and rushed back immediately."
“I also asked friends everywhere to bring back some high-quality wild deer antlers for my grandfather, which will definitely be very beneficial to his recovery.”
"Tomorrow I'll have Aunt Li make soup for you, Grandpa, with these deer antlers."
Ji Qiyue couldn't help but frown upon hearing this.
“Don’t say you’re worried about Grandpa. The day before yesterday, Grandpa was critically ill, and all seven of us dropped everything and rushed home immediately.”
"If I were really worried, I would have rushed home the day before yesterday. I wouldn't have waited until filming was finished before coming back."
But Old Master Ji inside the house was clearly still happy.
His weathered voice held a hint of satisfaction as he grasped Ji Yuwei's hand and praised, "You're a thoughtful child."
Jiang Nian frowned, pushed open the half-closed door and went in: "Grandpa, you can't eat deer antler now."
Ji Yuwei's smile froze instantly.
What does Jiang Nian mean by this?
She brought back some nice things for her grandfather, who was very happy. But when she came in, he said she couldn't eat them.
Is this a slap in the face for her?
