“Father!” Ji Qiu’s expression instantly changed. He lifted his head and looked at Ji Ru in disbelief. He could not believe that a simple sentence from Ji Ru would decide everything for him.
The temporary family head was a role that indicated the next family head’s candidate. Now that Ji Ru had removed him from his position as the temporary family head, he was showing to everyone that Ji Qiu could no longer become the next family head of Ji family.
Ji Ru’s decision not only shocked Ji Qiu, it also made everyone else in the Ji family dumbstruck.
It must be known that Ji Ru only had three sons. Ji Yun had already died on the battlefield, and there was only Ji Qiu and Ji He remaining. Ji He had always been following Ji Qiu. Even though he was witty, he was definitely not the suitable candidate for a family head.
After Ji Qiu had been removed and Ji He was not suitable, who else could be the family head?
Ji Qiu’s face was extremely unpleasant. Ever since he was young, he understood that Ji family would eventually be his and Ji Ru had also indicated so. How could he accept this sudden stripping of his power?
Ji Qiu’s eyes instantly drifted to Ji Fengyan. If not because of Ji Fengyan’s return, these things would not have happened…
Suddenly, a shocking thought came to Ji Qiu’s mind. He stared hard and said to Ji Ru, “Father, I know that I have made many mistakes, but I hope that you can let me go on behalf of my efforts for Ji family all these years. Moreover, there is rule by the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon that a terminator cannot manage a family…”
Ji Qiu’s last sentence revealed the guess that he had.
Ji Ru looked at Ji Qiu and laughed coldly.
“A terminator cannot manage a family? Ji Qiu, what are you implying? Since when did I say that Fengyan will take over as the family head?”
Ji Qiu’s face paled.
Ji Ru’s eyes looked past Ji Qiu ad Ji He, then at the members of the Ji family outside the door.
This gaze made all of them instantly pull themselves together, as if they could gather all their spirits to show Ji Ru. They were all hoping earnestly that the position of a temporary family head would land on them. Among them, Ji Mubai’s expression was the most nervous. In his generation, he was the most outstanding one.
However…
Ji Ru turned to look at Ji Fengyan after taking a glance.
“Fengyan.”
Ji Fengyan was slightly stunned. How was it that after everything, it still came back to her?
“Who are you closest with in Ji family?” this sudden question from Ji Ru made everyone stunned.
What did Ji Ru mean?
Ji Fengyan also wanted to laugh and cry by his random question. Her eyes glanced at all the shocked Ji family members and eventually, she glanced at a humble figure. Then, she laughed and said to Ji Ru, “Sister Linglong had been taking care of me. She’s the closest to me.”
Ji Ru nodded slightly. He was not surprised by what Ji Fengyan had said.
“Linglong, come out.” Ji Ru said to Ji Linglong, who was standing behind the crowd.
Ji Linglong was slightly stunned, then she went forward. “Grandfather.”
Ji Ru sized up her gentle and graceful granddaughter, and he seemed pleased.
“From today onwards, you shall be the temporary family head of Ji family. Ji Qiu, hand over your family head pendant to Linglong,” Ji Ru said emotionlessly.
