"What did Movie King Ji mean just now?" someone queried, perplexed by Ji Jingchi's remark.
"Could it be that Dr. Ji has some other identity?" another speculated, intrigued by the exchange.
Meanwhile, Ji Jingchi regarded Ji Linbai with a playful glint in his eye, as if savoring the unfolding drama.
As he observed the scene, Ji Linbai couldn't help but feel a sense of resignation tinged with amusement.
The situation struck Ji Jingchi as absurdly humorous. Treated as a collateral relative—what a joke! He couldn't wait to regale his second uncle with this anecdote.
Ji Linbai met Ji Jingchi's gaze with a hint of resignation.
Ye Qingzi's eyes widened in astonishment at Ji Jingchi's revelation.
Though she had minimal interaction with the Ji family, as one of the Eight Great Clans, she possessed basic knowledge of their hierarchy.
According to her understanding, Ji Linbai was the designated heir of the Ji family.
