The Ji family recognized their sister at a glance through the glass window.
The girl was seventeen years old, slender, and exuded a cool and aloof aura.
She dressed casually in a white T-shirt, jeans, and canvas shoes; her delicate skin had a cool, pale white hue that rarely saw sunlight. Her black hair was tied back in a ponytail, revealing her long, graceful neck.
A pair of thick, black-rimmed glasses covered most of her small, palm-sized face. While she seemed to be intentionally concealing her sharp features, it couldn't hide the exquisite beauty of her face; her dark eyes were still stunningly beautiful.
Their sister's eyes look exactly like their aunt's from back then.
Jiang Nian couldn't help but frown and pull away from the man's embrace: "You are..."
Ji Xiuan blinked his peach blossom eyes and said affectionately, "Niannian, I am your third brother, Ji Xiuan."
Ji Xiuan?
Jiang Nian remembered this name.
Recently, a talented director who has returned to Hollywood and is enjoying great popularity, has never made a public appearance, and is being courted by top-tier celebrities, is named this.
But that director, there are rumors that he comes from the Ji family, one of the top wealthy families in Jiangcheng.
"Niannian, I am your older brother, Ji Yanli," the handsome man in the black suit, with a calm demeanor, introduced himself.
Jiang Nian looked over—and sure enough, the other party was the current president of the Ji Group, a conglomerate worth hundreds of billions in Jiangcheng.
“Niannian, I am your second brother,” said a man with a cool and aloof demeanor wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
Ji Yanci is the youngest professor and vice dean of the School of Finance at Peking University.
“Niannian, I am your fourth brother.” The man was tall and slender, and even with sunglasses and a mask on, his striking appearance was still evident.
Ji Yubai is the youngest newly crowned Best Actor in the history of China's entertainment industry.
“Niannian, I’m your fifth brother,” said the handsome, cheerful man in a black vest and cargo pants, with a muscular physique.
Ji Qiyue, the newly crowned ZNE champion boxer.
"Niannian, I am your sixth brother." The man, whose temperament seemed untouched by worldly dust and whose features were as exquisite as a painting, spoke gently.
Ji Bojian is China's youngest principal pianist.
“Niannian, I am your seventh brother.” The last man, who was also 185 cm tall and had a free and unrestrained hairstyle and eyebrows, spoke.
Ji Mufeng, a legendary esports legend from a top professional team.
These seven people are so famous that even though Jiang Nian rarely pays attention to news in these circles, she knows their names.
But the outside world didn't know that they were all members of the Ji family, and even brothers. Jiang Nian never imagined that they would be her brothers.
“…I remember the information said that my uncle’s surname was Li, he came from Chengshui County, and he was unemployed,” Jiang Nian said.
Ji Xiuan said, "Niannian, Dad and Grandpa's ancestral home is indeed Chengshui County. They were originally surnamed Li, but later changed their surname to Ji."
“My father retired after my eldest brother took over the family business. He only holds the title of chairman in name only, so it wouldn’t be wrong to say he’s unemployed.”
"Then, say that Grandpa made a living by raising pigs..."
“Our family did indeed make its fortune in animal husbandry by my grandfather. The earliest animal husbandry line in our family is still raising pigs, but we have 100,000 pigs.”
"……oh."
Jiang Nian silently put the bank card back into her pocket.
It seems that my maternal grandfather's family doesn't really need my financial support.
Mentioning the old man, the eldest brother Ji Yanli's expression turned solemn.
“Niannian, all these years, Grandpa and we have been searching for news of your aunt, who is also your mother.”
“My aunt left home with a letter back then and never returned. If you hadn’t posted the photos and information online this time, Grandpa might not have made it through last night…”
“Grandpa’s health has been deteriorating ever since he had a lung infection last year. This time, he was in a coma for several days, and he only regained consciousness last night after hearing your news.”
"Grandpa was very excited to hear that you had been found. If we hadn't stopped him, he would have wanted to come and pick you up in person."
Jiang Nian's heart tightened: "I want to go see my grandfather."
Ji Yanli patted her head: "Okay, we'll take you home."
As he sat in the Rolls-Royce, Ji Yanli asked, "Niannian, I heard that your father didn't treat you well. For the past ten years or so, he abandoned you in the countryside and didn't care about you at all."
"What kind of good person is a man who can remarry right after his aunt passed away?" Ji Mufeng leaned back in his chair, fiddled with his bracelet, and sneered.
“Big brother, you mustn’t let him get away with this,” Ji Qiyue’s eyes also turned cold. “Didn’t you say that Jiang Sheng came to our Ji family to ask for investment before? Jiang’s company is so small, we can make it go bankrupt with just a flick of our finger.”
“No need, elder brother,” Jiang Nian said. “I can handle the Jiang family’s affairs myself.”
Jiang Nian had always suspected that her mother's death was inextricably linked to Jiang Sheng and Chen Fulan. She wanted to investigate thoroughly first and then make them pay the price.
"Big brother, I want to make a phone call," Jiang Nian said.
The call connected quickly after dialing a number.
Jiang Nian said into the phone, "Mrs. Si, this is Jiang Nian, daughter of Jiang Sheng of Jiangcheng Shenglan Real Estate."
“My stepmother says I’m disobedient and she’s going to send me to jail. So I’m sorry, my father agreed to the marriage, but I can’t go.”
Jiang Nian hung up the phone without changing his expression.
Ji Yanli looked over, a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Niannian, Madam Si?"
Jiangcheng is the economic capital of China. In terms of wealth, power, and status, if Jiangcheng were a vast city, the Ji family and the Si family would each occupy half.
Two weeks ago, Si Boye, the sole heir of the Si family, went abroad to Southeast Asia to discuss business. When he returned, his plane crashed and his body was never recovered. Madam Si was heartbroken.
If it weren't for Old Master Si still holding things together and keeping the Si family in check, the entire Si family would probably have been in chaos long ago.
Jiang Nian slightly raised her eyelids: "Jiang Sheng wanted to marry me off to the dead Si Boye in exchange for a five million investment from the Si family, which is why he brought me to Jiangcheng."
"I agreed, and I had Jiang Sheng sign a letter of consent to sever ties with me before I rejected the Si family."
"The Si family must be furious that we were tricked by the Jiang family at this critical juncture. But I am just an unfavored daughter of the Jiang family, so the Si family's anger will not be directed at me."
Ji Xiuan chuckled, smiling as he rested his chin on his hand: "Ah, as expected of the Ji family bloodline, they never suffer a loss."
The car headed towards the Ji family villa.
At the same time, Jiang Sheng's phone rang at the Jiang family home.
Upon seeing that the call was from Mrs. Si, Jiang Sheng jumped up from the sofa, his expression one of pure elation.
Jiang Nian must have gone to the Si family, and Madam Si is coming to transfer that five million to him!
Jiang Sheng suppressed his excitement and immediately began to fawn over her as the call connected: "Mrs. Si..."
The other party, however, was furious, his tone icy: "Jiang Sheng, are you playing with the Si family?"
Jiang Sheng was completely dumbfounded: "Madam Si, what are you talking about? Even if you gave me a hundred lives, I wouldn't dare to mess with the Si family!"
"If you can't figure it out, go ask your second wife. What does it mean that she wants to send Jiang Nian to jail after she told you to marry her?"
Mrs. Si slammed down the phone.
Jiang Sheng gasped, and after finding out where Chen Fulan was, he headed straight there.
Upon seeing Chen Fulan at the hospital, he was so angry that he slapped her across the face: "You woman! You're the one who talked nonsense in front of Madam Si, saying that you would send Jiang Nian to jail?"
