Chapter 1066: Ji Qingwei Had a Mental Collapse, In Family, Discovered (2)

**

Sijiu City.

The Yu Family.

Yu Yao naturally received the call from Mrs. Ji while dining with Old Master Yu and Old Madam Yu.

Upon learning that it was the Ji family calling, Old Master Yu immediately put the call on speaker.

If the Ji family wished to forge a connection, they shouldn’t blame him for tearing off the facade.

…

Old Madam Yu shared the same sentiment.

However, when they heard Mrs. Ji invite them to the Muston Dukedom for the celebration banquet, everyone was taken aback.

“Really?” Elder Yu said in surprise. “I didn’t expect Qingwei to have the talent for designing chips.”

“People should always be humble,” Mrs. Ji replied modestly. “Old master, I’ve reserved a spot for you here; feel free to come when you have the time.”

Once the call ended, Old Master Yu’s expression turned serious as he began to contemplate deeply.

As far as he knew, the president of Above the Clouds was even more influential in the Free State than Ji Yun. However, the Yu family had always been out of touch with important figures in the Free State and were unaware of this President Yun’s true identity.

The chief designer of Above the Clouds was someone who could converse directly with this President Yun.

Although Si Fuqing ranked first in the international joint examination, she had just entered the Intercontinental Research Institute, and there was still a long way to go.

Moreover, Ji Qingwei had grown up alongside Yu Yao, and the Yu family had faced setbacks with Si Fuqing before. It was clear whom they would choose.

But Old Madam Yu expressed her doubts, saying, “She stays cooped up in her room all day; where could she have learned these things? Even a piece of embroidery had to be copied. What a disgrace to make it to the international stage! I hope this time it’s not another case of plagiarism. I don’t want to embarrass our Yu family further.”

Yu Yao frowned. “Grandma.”

“Grandma is only saying this because she once saved you; otherwise, I would have been more direct,” Old Madam Yu said, her expression darkening. “With so many young ladies from prestigious families, why do you keep running to the Ji family?”

Yu Yao sighed. “She got hurt because of me; I can’t be too heartless.”

“Enough with this talk. Since the Ji family invited us, we must go,” Old Master Yu interrupted their quarrel. “Get ready to set off.”

Old Madam Yu remained adamant. “I simply don’t like that frail girl.”

Old Master Yu looked further ahead. “The medical facilities in the Free State are superior; who knows, Qingwei might recover, and you might regain your health as well.”

Hearing this, Old Madam Yu finally quieted down.

With the Yu family making moves, the other prominent families in Sijiu City quickly followed suit, boarding flights to the Muston Dukedom.

Meanwhile, Ji Longtai did not forget to create a buzz online. He imitated the entertainment industry, hiring numerous marketing accounts to start promoting Ji Qingwei as the newly appointed chief designer at Above the Clouds.

On the other side, the In Family.

After the international joint examination concluded, In Yunxi visited the Evolved Being Alliance once more, successfully meeting with Chris.

However, she failed to achieve her goal and had to endure listening to Chris recounting how extraordinary his “white moonlight” was. After listening to him, she returned home with her guards.

She had little interest in the press conference of Above the Clouds.

It was Lang Xuan’s assets outside of the Free State, so merely a game .

However, In Yunxi prepared a generous gift for Lang Xuan.

As the eldest daughter of the In family, she was responsible for forging connections with these influential figures.

“Miss,” the butler approached her, “the Great Elder is waiting for you in the ancestral hall.”

“Alright,” In Yunxi nodded. “I’ll go right over.”

In the ancestral hall, an elderly man in his seventies or eighties was kneeling on a mat, respectfully bowing three times.

In Yunxi waited for him to finish before calling out, “Grandfather.”

“Back already?” The Great Elder opened his eyes, his stern face breaking into a slight smile. “Let’s offer some incense together.”

In Yunxi nodded and picked up a stick of incense from the side.

She knew whom her grandfather was worshiping: the previous elder council and the family head.

It was said that they had experienced a major disaster, resulting in the near-total annihilation of the In family’s upper echelons.

In Yunxi was unaware of the specifics; she had attempted to pry information from her family on numerous occasions but had never gotten a clear answer.

She had learned from conversations with other evolved families that a tragedy had indeed occurred over twenty years ago in the In family.

This tragedy left the In family unable to compete with the Kusonoki and Lotebar.

After finishing her offering, Yin Yunxi was about to rise when a roll of paper fell from her.

“Yunxi, your things—” The Great Elder’s gaze flickered, suddenly halting. “What is this?!”

His tone was urgent and stern, a sound In Yunxi had never heard from him before.

“Ah, it’s nothing,” In Yunxi stammered, appearing obedient. “It’s just the list of candidates for this year’s international joint examination. The director of the Biochemical Institute casually gave it to me. It’s not of much use; I’ll just toss it away.”

Before she could pick the list up, the Great Elder had already pressed down on the first page.

He didn’t look at the others, just this one.

In Yunxi quickly spotted Si Fuqing’s stunning bare-faced photo and smiled. “Grandfather, you have a good eye! This is the first in this year’s international joint examination. Even a super brain evolved being couldn’t score higher than her.”

“However, she’s not an evolved being and doesn’t understand us evolved beings, so I didn’t form any connections.”

The Great Elder seemed oblivious to her words, his sharp gaze fixed on Si Fuqing’s photo, his thoughts instantly connecting to the fact that the Old Madam In insisted on attending the international joint examination site, as well as all the actions taken by the In family during this time. Everything fell into place.

In the next second, the paper in his hand instantly turned to dust!

In Yunxi’s expression changed. “Grandfather?”

“She’s not an evolved being?” The Grand Elder sneered. “Si Fuqing. Do you know who her father is?”

Her father is a Class S evolved being; how could his daughter be an ordinary person?
