Simon from the Chamber of Commerce Alliance showed a surprised expression: "Heart of the King? Are you talking about the Heart of the King that is a collection of the royal family of the Kingdom of M?"
"Yes." Ji Ziyin nodded slightly.
Simon's scrutinizing eyes fell on her, and he quickly hid all these emotions under the mask. He smiled slightly, turned his head and said to Ji Lingfeng: "Emperor Ji is so lucky. The younger generation of the Ji family is more promising than the other. It's really enviable."
Ji Lingfeng maintained a cold expression throughout the whole process, as if he couldn't understand what it meant for Ji Zinyin to get the collection from the royal family of Kingdom M.
Ji Ziyin didn't want to give diamonds.
Giving diamonds was only one of her purposes. Another purpose was to use diamonds to show her strong relationship with the hidden family.
None of the Ji family elders responded, only Ji Hongyuan interrupted and said, "The younger generation of the Ji family is indeed reassuring, but it's a pity that an outlier appeared. One bad apple spoils the whole barrel!"
"Okay." As soon as Ji Lingfeng heard his innuendo, he scolded him before he even responded to Ji Zinyin.
Ji Hongyuan is old and of high seniority, and he rarely loses face like this in public. His face turned red, he clenched his fists, and didn't dare to say anything more.
Everyone present knew who the rat was that he was talking about.
Simon's expression also became subtle.
Several people were talking.
He Lin brought Qiao Nian and Feng Yu over.
"Chief, the young lady and Old Feng are here." He Lin put the cardboard box in his arms on the ground, wiped the sweat off his forehead and said.
At this time, several elders of the Ji family + Ji Ziyin, Ji Xiao and others all looked at the girl who was walking over.
It was different from Ji Zinyin's formal attire.
Qiao Nian was still dressed in her usual style, trying to keep it simple and comfortable. She walked forward without looking away, facing Ji Lingfeng, and said calmly, "Happy birthday."
Ji Lingfeng was distracted for a moment when he looked at her, as if he saw another person through her. The tremor of his soul made him unable to recover for a long time. It was not until He Lin called him again that he realized that the person who came was Qiao Nian: "You..."
He pursed his lips, and his lips moved. When the words came to his mouth, they turned into the indifference unique to the Ji family: "Ji Nan is in there, you can sit with him later."
"Yeah." Qiao Nian nodded, having no objection.
Feng Yu exchanged a few words with Ji Lingfeng without even looking at Ji Zinyin and the others standing by.
Just because they don't cause trouble doesn't mean anyone wants to see them steal their limelight.
Ji Xiao saw that Qiao Nian was about to follow Feng Yu in.
He glanced at the courier box that He Lin had placed on the ground, and said half-jokingly, "What is that? Isn't that a gift from Miss Qiao to the clan leader? Did she just buy it online?"
He spoke suddenly.
Everyone's eyes were on the express box that He Lin placed on the ground.
The main reason was that the paper box packaging that Qiao Nian brought looked too cheap. It looked like the small online gifts that Ji Xiao mentioned.
"With this size, could it be... a money tree or something like that?" Ji Xiao continued.
His words showed disdain for the gift from Qiao Nian: "I heard that Miss Qiao has her own business. There's no need for her to be so...down to earth?"
He Lin's face darkened.
He didn't have time to speak.
The girl looked over nonchalantly and admitted frankly: "I didn't really change the box for packaging, mainly because I was too lazy to open it. There was a small model inside, which could be considered a toy."
