Lord Yan, The Little Ancestor Has Fallen Off The Horse Again!-Chapter 492: Not So Easy

Mrs. Ji only felt a sharp pain on her face. What kind of aphrodisiac had Yun Yue fed these people to make them all speak up for her!

"The way things are, Yun Yue is the winner, and the subsequent competitions will be discussed later," said one of the family elders, his face betraying his displeasure.

Though inwardly shocked, if these people could all help the Ji Family, it wouldn’t just be the He Family that would be outpaced, the Xiao Family would have to catch up too.

He started to reassess Yun Yue seriously from his previous disdain. Elder Ji choosing her as the Ji Family Heir did have its reasons.

Just this exceptional network alone was something Ji Ling couldn’t compare with.

As for her abilities in other areas, those remained to be seen, but he believed they couldn’t be too bad. She just needed to modify her condescending attitude. After all, they were the elders of the clan, how could they allow her to belittle and threaten them!

"Let’s call an end to today’s business. Today is my grandfather’s birthday banquet, and I hope everyone enjoys the food, drinks, and has a great time!"

With the end of Yun Yue’s speech, a melodious and poignant piece of music began to play.

Originally, Ji Ling was supposed to represent the Ji Family in the opening dance, but after such a commotion, everyone only knew Yun Yue as the Ji Family’s legitimate daughter, while she was merely an adopted daughter of the Ji Family!

"Miss Yun, since you are Elder Ji’s own granddaughter, it is only appropriate that you perform the first dance," spoke a middle-aged man.

His name was Ji Jun, a collateral relative of the Ji Family. Favored by Ji Xian, he now held a director position at Ji Company. As the heir hand-picked by Ji Xian, he would naturally offer his unconditional support.

Moreover, having just witnessed Yun Yue’s strength, he had even less reason to question her capabilities.

"Tsks," Yun Yue’s eyebrows lifted as she showed off her slender, jade-like long legs through the slits of her black dress.

Her slim waist, just enough to be encircled by hands, was suddenly embraced from behind while a familiar scent invaded her nostrils. She then heard Xiao Chen’s magnetic voice—

"May I have this dance with the beautiful and enchanting young lady?"

Xiao Chen bent slightly in front of her, his movements gentlemanly and tender, his gaze full of adoration.

Ji Jun understood with a smile and stepped to the side.

Yun Yue’s lips curved upward slightly, placing her hand gently in his palm.

In the eyes of the crowd, the man was as resplendent as a jade tree in the wind, and the woman was a nation-felling beauty, seemingly a match made in heaven!

If anyone else took their place, it’d be hard to say who could match up to whom.

"What do you think? Aren’t they a perfect match?" Jiang Qiong nudged Xiao Jingchang.

From the moment she first saw Yun Yue, she had decided that this girl would be her daughter-in-law!

These two were born with a married couple’s look!

"Perfect match," Xiao Jingchang replied with a smile, "I even feel like my son is punching above his weight."

Jiang Qiong said, "You’re not the only one who feels that way..."

He truly struck gold, meeting such a wonderful girl as Yueyue, or he might have stayed single for life!

In the center of it all, the man and the woman danced with a tacit understanding, their movements light and graceful, changing rhythm with the music, especially during the high-difficulty moves which they completed with great fluidity.

At the end of the dance, thunderous applause filled the venue.

"Beautifully danced."

"Yes, it was the best dance I’ve seen so far."

After the dance, Yun Yue said a few words and gave up the floor, and then many gentlemen began to dance with their partners.

"Miss Yun, I am Ji Jun, a trusted confidant of Elder Ji, and I’ve been assigned by him to assist you. If you have any questions about the Ji Family or the company, you can always ask me." Ji Jun approached again.

"Show me around and introduce me to the members of the Ji Family," Right now, Yun Yue had no desire to waste time with that group of people, but considering she’d agreed to take over the Ji Family, it was essential to know them.

"Of course, Miss Yun, follow me," Ji Jun said with a smile, nodding his head and guiding Yun Yue around.

"Do you remember much, Miss Yun?" Ji Jun asked, hoping to get a sense of what she knew before he sent her a copy of the personal information.

Yueyue sipped her red wine lightly, "I remember everything."

"It’s fine if you don’t remember... What?! You remembered everything?!" Ji Jun’s eyes widened in disbelief, as if he thought she was bluffing him.

"Mm," Yueyue softly acknowledged, glancing at the time, "Go on with your work. I’m going to find Grandfather."

"Okay." Ji Jun didn’t ask any more and watched her leave.

Several people at the scene were as if still in a dream.

Mrs. Feng seemed not to have snapped back to reality, "Am I definitely not dreaming today? First, Mo Fan is the Golden Net Charm Fox, then Yueyue is Elder Ji’s granddaughter. I wouldn’t dare dream of this!"

Jiang Ying snorted with laughter, "Aunt Feng, you’re not dreaming. If you don’t believe me, I’ll pinch you and you’ll see if it hurts..."

Mr. Jiang gave her a stern look, "Respect your elders."

With a hum, Jiang Ying took Jiang Qi to dance.

...

In Housekeeper Ji’s study, Housekeeper Ji was covering his mouth coughing when he heard a knock on the door. He immediately stopped and motioned for Housekeeper Ji to open the door.

Upon seeing Yueyue, Housekeeper Ji’s eyes lit up, "Young Miss."

Housekeeper Ji quickly hid the handkerchief with blood in the crevice of the sofa, looked outside without showing any concern, "Is that Yue, girl? Let her in."

Yueyue stepped in and sat across from him.

Housekeeper Ji looked at her kindly, his eyes filled with nostalgia, "The first time I saw you, I thought you looked just like your mother when she was a child. That’s when I decided to live in Lan City, even if I couldn’t find her, it would be good to see you.

As you grew older, you increasingly resembled Wen Jun; I thought to myself that you must be Wen Jun’s daughter. Later, I secretly took a strand of your hair for a paternity test, and indeed, you are my Ji Family’s granddaughter.

I’m aware of your capabilities and understand your personality. Are you resentful about today’s events?"

Housekeeper Ji tensely looked at her, dreading that she might express resentment towards him.

"No resentment. After all, I am your biological granddaughter." Yueyue smiled indifferently, "Managing the Ji Family will be fairly easy for me."

She had calculated everything. Even if she were to take over the Ji Family in the future, she would just need to maintain a few capable people; she intended to be a hands-off manager.

The Ji Family, big as it was, didn’t have as many affairs as Golden Net and Black Alliance.

"Then I am relieved," Housekeeper Ji immediately felt less burdened.

Yueyue’s gaze landed on his face, her eyes flickering slightly, "Tomorrow I’ll have someone send you the medicine, an enhanced version. Since I’ve agreed to be the Ji Family Heir, you too must promise me something..."

Housekeeper Ji coughed twice, "Go ahead."

"Don’t worry about the affairs of the Ji Family from now on. Take less stress and focus on your health."

His health had been deteriorating severely; he had been relying on remedies she provided over the years. He couldn’t afford to overwork and worry excessively; otherwise, all the medicine in the world wouldn’t help. This was why his health deteriorated day by day after returning to the Ji Family.

"Right, as long as you are willing to handle the Ji Family’s affairs, I have nothing to worry about. I want to live a few more years and spend more time with you," Housekeeper Ji said, smiling.

"By the way, you can’t just marry Xiao Chen too soon. It’s not easy to marry the Ji Family’s legitimate daughter."

He was serious, deeply afraid that she would be lured away by Xiao Chen.

It was a hard-won recognition of his granddaughter, and if someone took her away, he wouldn’t know where to go to cry.

"That engagement we had before doesn’t count. I don’t agree. Go tell him that he can’t skip any of the proper procedures," Housekeeper Ji huffed.

That young man was so arrogant in his presence!

See if he dares to disobey him now!

Yueyue: "..."
