After Ji Ziyin asked this question, she found it ridiculous. She smiled and waved her hand generously: "Just pretend I didn't ask."
Seeing her like this, Lu Yiming felt bad, so he asked her, "By the way, is there something you want to talk to me about?"
Ji Zinyin instantly put aside the slight discomfort in her heart, and looked at Lu Yiming urgently with her almond-shaped eyes, as if grasping at the only straw.
She was not afraid that her image in Lu Yiming's mind would be damaged, so she told him frankly and generously about what had happened recently.
Finally, she said directly: "Can you help me check whether this matter has anything to do with Qiao Nian, and whether she did something behind the scenes..."
Lu Yiming listened to her patiently. Even though he knew that Ji Ziyin was fine and it was impossible for her to keep looking for him, he couldn't help but feel a little irritated when he heard with his own ears that Ji Ziyin only wanted him to investigate Qiao Nian.
He pushed aside the coffee that Ji Ziyin ordered for him, pursed his lips, looked at the woman in front of him whom he had sincerely loved, and interrupted her, "I can't help you."
Ji Ziyin's voice suddenly stopped, and her reaction was even greater than when he said he was going to get married. She immediately frowned, suppressed her displeasure and asked, "Why?"
"I can't investigate Qiao Nian." Lu Yiming leaned back in his chair, facing her frankly, without hiding anything from her, and said, "Lu Zhi personally ordered everyone in the Lu family not to get involved in matters related to Qiao Nian. Once he finds out, he will turn against the Lu family."
It turned out to be Lu Zhi!
Ji Ziyin never expected this.
Lu Yiming smiled bitterly, maintaining his demeanor, and looked up at her: "You know that the Lu family is just glamorous on the surface. Our relationship with the Ji family depends entirely on the existence of Lu Zhi. Who dares not to listen to him? So... I'm sorry, I can't help you this time."
…
Not long after rejecting her, Lu Yiming took the initiative to pay the bill and left the restaurant.
Ji Ziyin didn't leave.
She sat in the same seat for a long time after Lu Yiming left, and was unable to recover for a long time.
She never expected that Lu Zhi would intervene and warned everyone in the Lu family in advance. She was afraid that Lu Yiming's hasty marriage this time was also related to Lu Zhi's personal warning to the Lu family.
The Lu family is really cutting off the source of the problem.
With one move, she cut off the ladder for her to ask Lu Yiming for help. Lu Yiming was married, and she couldn't always ask a married man to meet her...
Ji Ziyin was so angry that she laughed. There was a coldness in her eyes. She turned around and prepared to pick up her bag and go back first.
She was sharp-eyed and saw people coming out of the mall outside the commercial district carrying large and small bags. She looked at the girl walking in front of her from a distance and recognized her almost at first sight—Qiao Nian!
Why is she here
…is it a coincidence
Ji Ziyin bit her lip, paused holding the bag in her hand, and fixed her eyes firmly on the person below.
Qiao Nian quickly walked to the SUV parked on the side of the road, and the man walking behind her opened the door for her... Ji Ziyin saw the girl disappear from her sight.
She was somewhat unwilling to give up and was about to take another look.
Suddenly, a gaze shot straight towards her from below.
Ji Ziyin broke out in a cold sweat on her back. Even though they were so far away, she shrank her neck and hid her whereabouts as if she was afraid of being discovered by the other party.
Finally, that sight disappeared, and the oppressive feeling that Ji Zinyin was pressing on him also disappeared.
She looked down again and the SUV had already gone away.
Qiao Nian had long since disappeared.
