Ji Anning watched the old man's departing figure for a long time, her heart still trembling.
The senior valued face and reputation above all and dreaded any gossip about the Ji Family, which was widely known, otherwise...
She glanced at Ji Chicheng beside her, eyes brimming with sympathy.
At home, he was the favored one by the senior, second to none, and even the old man himself would yield to him.
Yet outside, the senior still cared about the conventional perspectives, afraid that having this illegitimate son as the head would spark criticisms.
Although in her heart, the old man wasn't such a person, even willing to neglect his own life for the sake of his younger brother, an illegitimate child.
Yet all his arrangements made one inevitably think that way.
Otherwise, how would Ji Jingfeng come to be the heir of the Ji Family?
Be it in terms of generation, talent, or even charm and looks, the younger brother was streets ahead of Ji Jingfeng.
