"The Jie Family doesn't have a throne to inherit." Jie Jingchen kept the thought to himself. He knew that in Granny's eyes, ten of his sentences weren't worth one from Jie Anlin. It was a thankless task, and he wasn't about to do it.
Qin Mei fell silent. 'From the looks of it,' she thought, 'Jie Jingchen is planning to stand by and do nothing.'
"Granny wouldn't believe anything I say," Jie Jingchen said with a hint of resignation.
Elders believe implicitly in whomever they favor. Granny's treatment of Jie Jingchen and Jie Anlin was starkly different. Qin Mei smiled with understanding.
"Jie Jingsi, do you have some deep-seated hatred for Jie Anlin?" Qin Mei couldn't help but ask. To not tell him something like this... An Lin was joyfully awaiting the birth of his child, and he would pour his heart and soul into raising them, only to find out the child wasn't his. He'd probably have a complete breakdown.
