Lord Yan, The Little Ancestor Has Fallen Off The Horse Again!-Chapter 489: She is the Network!

Yun Yue’s indifferent and icy gaze turned toward Mrs. Ji and the pale-faced Ji Ling: "Grandfather is unwell, so I will take over hosting this banquet.

I am willing to accept the opinions of the Ji Family Elders and seniors, and I am aware of the business connections relevant to the Ji Family and the unknown secrets of everyone present."

Upon hearing everyone’s words, the expressions on their faces changed. Coming from prominent families, no one could guarantee their own cleanliness.

"Are you threatening us? Don’t forget, whether you can become the Ji Family Heir is up to us!" one of the Ji Family Elders snorted coldly, clearly displeased. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Ji Ling had never dared to talk to them like that—Yun Yue truly knew no bounds.

"Threat?" Yun Yue chuckled softly, looking at the Elder, "It would only be a threat if we were equals in strength. I don’t think you have anything deserving of being threatened by me."

Whoosh!

Yun Yue’s words left the Elder’s face turning green, trembling with fury, unable to utter a single sentence for a long while.

"Damn! Sister Yue is really setting things on fire!" Wei Xuan exclaimed in admiration.

Society, my Sister Yue!

How could she be so overwhelmingly cool!

In that moment, Xiao Chen’s eyes were solely on Yun Yue, his lips slightly curved in a light smile; his Sister Yue was indeed both beautiful and imposing.

Yun Yue continued unhurriedly: "I am merely stating the facts. Please don’t doubt a single word I say, and as for the test to become the Ji Family Heir... we still need to go through the process, to prevent anyone from feeling that grandfather is being unfair."

Mrs. Ji and Ji Ling felt relieved at Yun Yue’s words. They did not believe Yun Yue, who had never managed such a large family and enterprise, could outperform Ji Ling when put to test.

"That’s easy for you to say, but if we are to be fair, you cannot rely on Xiao Chen and the Xiao Family’s power," calculated Mrs. Ji.

Yun Yue’s biggest support was Xiao Chen and the Xiao Family; without their help, being a disciple in the Painting Association and Vice President of the Calligraphy Association would not be intimidating at all.

As for being a national top scorer, that was also not intimidating. Ling’er was going to enter Lab D in half a month, which was one of the three most authoritative labs at Jing University. Yun Yue had just started her studies and definitely couldn’t get in.

"Agreed," Yun Yue smiled.

"Fine then," Mrs. Ji looked behind her at the family elders and company shareholders with a flicker in her eyes: "You all are senior elders, may I ask how you intend to test?"

"Since it’s about becoming the Ji Family Heir, connections are essential. Let’s start with testing connections. Today, all of Jing City’s wealthy and powerful are here. Let’s all witness who has the most extensive and significant connections," the previously speaking Ji Family Elder snorted.

Without the Xiao Family’s support, let’s see what kind of connections you still have.

Yun Yue casually looked at the Elder: "Are you sure?"

"Sure," the Elder snorted again, annoyed that the girl hadn’t even become the Ji Family Heir yet but was already disregarding him and the other elders.

"Shall we start then? Let’s use this line in the middle to divide the sides, those supporting me on the right, those supporting Ji Ling on the left," Yun Yue said, her gaze sweeping over Ji Ling, casually adding, "You may gather supporters now."

"It seems you are scared! Ling’er’s connections are extensive, even if you are Xiao Chen’s fiancée, the people you know can’t compare to hers!" Mrs. Ji scoffed, thinking Yun Yue wanted to start rallying support at that moment.

Yun Yue just curled her lip, ignoring her, her aloof appearance infuriating Mrs. Ji.

"I’ll support! I’m with Sister Yue!" Wei Xuan was the first to move to the right side.

"And what kind of connection are you supposed to be!" He Minzhen rolled her eyes at him and dragged Wei Guohang to the right side.

"Mom! You’re really undermining me. I’ve got hundreds of junior followers even if I don’t step forward, how are these not connections?" Wei Xuan said earnestly.

He Minzhen’s face turned dark with anger: "You sure act like you know everything!"

Wei Xuan quickly moved next to He Chong: "Grandpa, save me!"

He Chong shielded Wei Xuan behind him with a stern face: "I’m not pleased if anyone wants to hit my grandson."

"...Dad! You are always protecting him!" He Minzhen gritted her teeth.

That kid was academically weak, dim-witted, she had no idea what her dad saw in him, pampering him to the skies!

He was becoming more unruly in Beijing!

She really regretted not slapping him more when they were in Lan City.

Wei Guohang consoled her: "Alright now, don’t let this anger hurt you. Only Yun Yue can handle him. Just talk to Yun Yue later and watch this kid dare to rebel."

He Minzhen’s eyes lit up, it was a good plan.

Gu Cong stood by Ji Ling’s side, while Gu Yue moved to Yun Yue’s side.

"Good brother!" Wei Xuan, seeing Gu Yue actually defy his brother’s wishes to stand by this side, immediately walked over and slung an arm around his shoulder.

"What about Lin Xuanze?" Wei Xuan found it strange, Sister Yue had come, so why hadn’t he?

Gu Yue shook his head, "I don’t know, he didn’t reply to my messages."

Lin Xuanze, who was being beaten up, sneezed, and before he knew it, a heavy punch came head-on, knocking him out cold.

"..."

Ji Ling went over to each person who supported her to express her gratitude, and at the same time, she did not forget to canvass for votes.

This was what Yun Yue herself had said.

Connections are all exchanged for perks and conditions; did she really think that just standing up there, people would support her?

Now, at the entire banquet, nearly half of the people, led by the Gu Family, were supporting her.

They did not expect Elder He and the newly appointed Governor Wei Guohang to stand by Yun Yue’s side.

The positions of these two were indeed significant, so Ji Ling could not hold back and went to canvass for votes.

Soon, the vast majority had picked their sides. Ji Ling’s side had ten times as many people as Yun Yue’s.

Ji Ling then shifted her attention and gaze to the central figures.

They were the top forces in Beijing, far more powerful than these wealthy families.

"Vice President Wu, ask for anything you want, as long as I can do it, I will do my utmost," Ji Ling said, believing that Wu Er would certainly understand.

The crowd looked on with odd expressions. These top forces never took sides and never got involved with any wealthy families. Could Ji Ling truly convince Wu Er to support her?

Wu Er represented the entire Black Alliance!

Wu Er curved his lips, "Can you really promise anything?"

Ji Ling was overjoyed, "Of course, as long as I can do it!"

Wu Er, "I want your entire Ji Family."

The smile on Ji Ling’s face instantly stiffened, "What, Vice President Wu, you aren’t joking with me?"

Wu Er seriously said, "Do you think I look like I’m joking with you?"

Ji Ling clenched her teeth, "Could Vice President Wu consider another condition? This one is indeed a bit too demanding."

Wu Er stared at her, his lips curling into a thin smile, "I’m not interested in anything else."

Ji Ling took a deep breath and pulled out a smile, "It’s okay; the Black Alliance never gets involved in affairs of the wealthy; I respect Vice President Wu’s choice."

"I like Miss Ji’s sense of the bigger picture," Wu Er said with a smile.

"It is my honor to be esteemed by Vice President Wu, and I hope there will be opportunities to collaborate with you in the future," Ji Ling said, extending her hand with a smile.

Wu Er’s smile was profound, making Ji Ling inexplicably nervous, "I’m afraid I can only disappoint Miss Ji."

"What?" Ji Ling couldn’t quite understand what he meant.

Stunned, she watched him walk over to the right!!!

"?!!!"

They forcefully rubbed their eyes, incredulously watching the spot where Wu Er had been!

"?!!!"
