Chapter 22 Transmigrated as the Father of the Real and Fake Heiresses
The waiter quickly came over, picked up the items, and put them in the gift box.
Seeing that things had come to this, even though she hadn't given it to her grandfather herself, Li Tian knew that everyone was watching her now.
"Grandpa, what is this...?"
“Miss Li,” Old Master Ji interrupted her, “Although you have a history with the Ji family, you are not destined to be with our family.”
"Thank you for coming to celebrate my birthday today. I appreciate your kindness."
Grandpa Ji still wanted to cover up the shame for his grandson.
My son is unreliable, so I have to do it myself.
Ji Lin quickly replied, "Li Tian came specifically to wish Grandpa a happy birthday. Since she's already here, I'll leave first."
Li Tian frowned and looked at Ji Lin: "I have something to say."
Ji Lin squeezed her arm tightly, causing her to furrow her brows even more in pain.
“We can talk about it later. This is my grandfather’s birthday.”
Ji Huaizhi remained expressionless and did nothing.
Because he knew that Li Tian was not a docile person, and once she came, she wouldn't leave easily.
Li Tian's hair was a little messy as she looked around.
She saw a warning in the old man's eyes, but this was her last chance.
She shook off Ji Lin's arm and said, "Dad, I'm pregnant."
Ji Huaizhi stood calmly beside Old Master Ji and said, "You've called the wrong person."
Li Tian gritted her teeth and said, "Uncle Ji, I'm pregnant."
Ji Lin roared, "Enough!"
Li Tian completely ignored Ji Lin: "I'm pregnant with Ji Lin's child."
Ji Lin looked at Ji Huaizhi, afraid of seeing disappointment on his face, but there was no expression on his face at all.
This is the most heartbreaking thing.
Ji Nanzhi's eyes widened in surprise, as did her other siblings from the Ji family.
Fang Shan had a "I guessed right" look on her face: "I was right, his attitude towards him just now was clearly not the same as how he treats his sister."
Mr. Fang glanced at Ji Huaizhi's expression, which had been present since the beginning of the banquet.
President Ji's attitude towards his son is very cold, and Young Master Ji Lin's position can be said to be precarious.
Shaking his head, he thought to himself, "Luckily, I didn't bring up the matter of Shanshan's marriage to Young Master Ji before."
"What are you trying to do? Are you trying to ruin me?" Ji Lin tugged at Li Tian.
Li Tian almost lost her balance: "No, that's not it."
Judging from his son's expression, Old Master Ji guessed that he probably already knew: "Miss Li, I think you're unconscious."
"Do you think it's appropriate for you to tell such a lie just to get back into the Ji family?"
Fearing they wouldn't believe her, Li Tian quickly added, "It's true."
“I’ve been with Ji Lin ever since I left the Ji family.” Fearing they wouldn’t believe her, she added, “You can investigate if you don’t believe me.”
"The child in my womb is of your Ji family bloodline. You can't possibly let him wander outside, can you?"
Li Tian felt flustered, realizing that things weren't going as she had expected.
She pulled Ji Lin's hand and said, "Brother, tell them that you said you would let me go back to the Ji family. This is the opportunity."
Ji Lin looked at her with pain and complexity in his eyes.
It seems she only stayed with me to go back to the Ji family.
So was this part of her scheme?
I was also part of her scheme.
Ji Lin stepped forward to admit it, but then heard Old Master Ji say, "Li Tian, you've gone to any lengths to get back into the Ji family?"
"Have you forgotten that you two were siblings for seventeen years?"
Don't you find it ridiculous?
Li Tian wanted to argue, but the old man waved his hand and said, "The Ji family temple is too small to accommodate a big Buddha like you. Show her out."
After saying that, he ignored Li Tian's shouts, gave his son a look, and prepared to leave the banquet.
Li Tian refused, saying, "I'm telling the truth."
"I'm pregnant with Ji Lin's child, you can't kick me out!"
"I'm carrying the bloodline of your Ji family's heir, don't touch me!" Li Tian screamed like a madwoman, "Ji Lin, you said it, say something!"
"No, you can't do this! Waaaaah, you can't touch me!"
Li Tian was on the verge of collapse: "I want to go back to the Ji family! I'm a member of the Ji family! Let go of me!"
“Dad, I can’t be your daughter, but I can be your daughter-in-law. Dad, I can still call you Dad.”
Everyone thought Li Tian had gone a bit crazy.
Indeed, one thought can lead to heaven, and another to hell.
Seeing her somewhat delirious state, Ji Lin's brows furrowed, his eyes filled with struggle and hesitation, like a trapped little animal unable to find a way out.
Finally, he closed his eyes and shouted, "Let go."
Grandpa Ji stopped in his tracks.
Ji Huaizhi lifted his eyelids and rubbed his fingers, thinking that he wouldn't speak tonight.
"grandfather……"
The waiter who had grabbed Li Tian stopped.
Li Tian felt a surge of hope: "Ji Lin, tell me quickly, the child in my belly is yours. I knew you wouldn't abandon me."
"Say it," Li Tian said impatiently, shaking his hand.
Old Master Ji straightened up, sighed, and said in a deep, clear voice:
"Dear friends and family, today's banquet was meant to be a joyous gathering with you all, but I have some urgent matters to attend to at home. Please forgive me."
"We will invite you all again when the release date is set in the future, so as to make up for today's haste."
After hearing this, everyone put down their glasses to show their understanding.
Although many people still want to continue watching the show, they also know it's no longer appropriate.
Ji Huaizhi and the other members of the Ji family saw the guests off.
When they returned, only the Ji family members were standing in the hall. The old man looked at Ji Huaizhi and said, "Come with me."
Everyone else was looking at Li Tian and Ji Lin.
The old man, with his back turned, said calmly, "Ji Lin, kneel down."
After Ji Lin knelt down, Li Tian stood beside him the whole time: "Why is it different from what I expected?"
Hearing her words, Ji Lin found it amusing: "Why do you think the Ji family would be so easily threatened and manipulated?"
Li Tian was a little unsteady on her feet, so she put her hand on Ji Lin's shoulder: "What should we do then?"
Ji Lin asked a waiter to bring a stool.
The Ji family siblings were speechless when they saw this.
"Is Ji Lin out of his mind? At a time like this, he's still thinking about playing the hero and saving the damsel in distress?"
Ji Nanzhi didn't say anything, but felt that her worldview was collapsing. Hadn't they always addressed each other as brother and sister?
Even though they are not related by blood, the sibling bond they shared over the past seventeen years was genuine.
Seeing Assistant Zhou and Chen Xi standing together, Ji Nanzhi went over and asked, "Did their actions today have a significant impact on the Ji family?"
Chen Xi raised an eyebrow, a smile in his eyes.
Assistant Zhou clasped his hands in front of his abdomen: "It won't have much impact on the Ji family, but it will have a big impact on the young master."
Ji Nanzhi didn't quite understand.
Look in the direction of Dad and Grandpa.
Grandpa Ji sat on the sofa, looking at his son: "Didn't you value Ji Lin the most before? You could definitely have stopped this today. Are you trying to strip him of his status as heir?"
“Tell me why? I know you value your daughter, but before you knew Li Tian wasn’t your biological daughter, you never thought of paving the way for her.”
“If you feel sorry for Nanzhi, you can let them compete fairly.”
The Ji family does not care about the distinction between men and women.
Ji Huaizhi slumped lazily on the sofa, his long legs casually crossed, and his other arm resting on the armrest.
His expression was indifferent, as if he didn't care about his son at all.
“Dad, I may not be able to explain it to you, but I will not hand over the Ji family to someone who can watch me die at any moment.”
Ji Huaizhi's words left the old man completely baffled.
Then she heard her son continue, "Actually, I gave him a chance. He could have handled Li Tian's matter perfectly well."
"But look at how things have turned out today, even to the point of indulging Li Tian without any bottom line. I don't think he can handle anything important."
"For example, continuing to sit in the position of heir."
Grandpa Ji still understands his son. He used to be strict with Ji Lin, but he valued him highly.
But it seems like he's been ignoring him ever since he came back from Nam Gyi.
Moreover, it seems that his son's words just now are the reason why he completely gave up on Ji Lin.
"So what are you going to do?" Old Master Ji asked. "Do you think he'll be content with that?"
Ji Huaizhi lifted his eyelids and looked at Ji Lin kneeling in the hall.
