Ji Zinyin took off his sunglasses, walked forward and prepared to go in.
The bodyguard at the door blocked her way: "Sorry, you can't go in."
When Ji Ziyin heard this, the smile on her lips froze slightly. She squinted her eyes and looked at him. Her fair face turned cold. "Do you know who I am?"
The bodyguard stood in front of her like a mountain, motionless: "Sorry, no matter who you are, you can't go in without the order of Emperor Ji!"
Ji Ziyin's eyes turned slightly cold and the corners of her mouth tightened. She didn't want to conflict with him here, so she simply walked away to make a phone call.
She first looked for He Lin.
Ji Ziyin took out He Lin’s phone number and called him.
"beep."
After a few rings, no one answered.
She suppressed her anger, hung up the phone and called again, but the situation was the same as before, He Lin didn't answer.
Her anger had subsided a lot by now, and she began to realize that something was wrong.
Ji Ziyin called He Lin three times, but He Lin didn't answer.
She frowned, took out Ji Xiao's phone number again and called him.
"Hello." Ji Xiao picked up the phone in seconds and asked her immediately, "Didn't you say you were going to meet the clan leader? How come you have time to call me at this time?"
Ji Ziyin looked at Ji Lingfeng's bodyguard who was blocking the door like an iron tower, holding her breath and walking back.
She opened the car door with one hand and spoke to Ji Xiao with a sullen face: "Has the clan leader mentioned me recently?"
"Hmm?" Ji Xiao didn't understand the meaning of his call: "Mentioning you? Why did I mention you? Did you make the clan leader angry?"
Ji Ziyin got back into the car: "Did the clan leader mention me?"
The driver saw with his own eyes that she was stopped outside the door by the Ji family and was not allowed to enter. In addition, Ji Ziyin was on the phone again, so he didn't dare to ask a single question and honestly reduced his presence. Ji Xiao was very sure: "No."
"Since He Lin asked me to look for you last time, he hasn't looked for me since then!"
"For so many years, He Lin has always been the clan leader's right-hand man. He didn't look for me, so the clan leader certainly didn't mention you."
Ji Ziyin pursed her lips, becoming increasingly confused about the situation.
Even the Chamber of Commerce Alliance and the Lu family knew that she was treated as a guest of honor in the hidden family and was in the limelight. It made no sense that the Ji family didn't know about her affairs in Country M...
But everyone was extremely cold to her!
This was completely different from how she had imagined herself returning.
“…That’s impossible.” Ji Ziyin couldn’t figure out what went wrong.
Ji Xiao realized it later: "Did something happen when you went to see the clan leader?"
Ji Ziyin is no longer the same person she used to be. She now has the support of a hidden family behind her, so she speaks with more confidence: "No, I'm just asking you casually."
She lowered her eyes, not intending to tell Ji Xiao that she was stopped outside. Instead, she remembered, "By the way, tomorrow is the clan leader's birthday?"
"Yeah." Ji Xiao depends on her now, so he naturally won't hide it from her: "Saturday, on the first floor of the InterContinental Hotel, He Lin has already told the hotel that the Ji family will book the entire first floor of the hotel for a birthday party tomorrow."
"Are you going?" He finally reacted quickly for once.
Ji Ziyin rolled up the car window and put on sunglasses to hide the coldness in her almond-shaped eyes: "Come and pick me up, I'll go with you."
She has a strong sixth sense.
If she went there alone again tomorrow, she might be stopped at the door again like today.
Ji Ziyin hung up Ji Xiao's phone call, pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and said to the driver: "Don't go back yet, I'm going to meet the people from the Chamber of Commerce Alliance."
