Who knew that Ji Ziyin's smile faded slightly, she lowered her eyes, but did not respond to him.
Old Madam Lu glanced at Ji Ziyin's reaction and immediately said, "President Simon, this is not appropriate, right?"
"We are all here today to welcome Miss Ji. It would be bad if we chat about something and someone with ulterior motives overhears us."
Simon frowned and looked at her: "Miss Qiao is not that kind of person."
Old Madam Lu sneered and said with a smile: "President Simon means that we are that kind of people?"
Simon's face darkened and he didn't want to argue with her.
Ji Ziyin then slowly said, "Everyone, stop arguing."
"I am very grateful to everyone for welcoming me. If everyone quarrels because of my matter, I will blame myself."
She looked at Simon and said generously, "This is your territory. If you want her to come in, just come in."
"It's just that I wanted to talk to you about what I saw in Country M..." She hesitated, "You also know the relationship between her and me. With her here, some things are hard to talk about. But it doesn't matter. It's a good thing for us to sit together and have a meal."
Simon was a smart man, so how could he not understand her voice-over: If Qiao Nian came in to eat, she would not talk about the hidden family.
Whether it's the Chamber of Commerce Alliance or the Hacker Alliance, including Old Lady Lu, who would make a special trip just to have dinner with her
The reason why everyone organized this welcoming dinner was actually to find out from Ji Zinyin about the movements of the hidden family!
After Ji Zinyin said this, he became hesitant instead.
…
ten minutes later.
He came out, walked up to the girl in the cap, and said with a guilty look on his face: "Miss Qiao, I'm sorry, I'll treat you to a meal some other day to make amends."
Qiao Nian waited until now to see him come out, and had already guessed the result: "It's okay, it's just a small matter, no need to apologize."
Simon had already made his choice, but he didn't want to offend the girl, so he asked, "Where are you going to eat? How about I ask the driver to take you there?" Qiao Nian shook the car key hanging on his finger at him and said nonchalantly, "I drove here."
Simon didn't know what to say for a moment.
Qiao Nian had already turned around and waved, saying to Xu Yi: "Let's go, let's go to another place."
Xu Yi's cold eyes fell on Simon. Without saying a word, he picked up his hand and followed the girl's footsteps to leave.
When he was out of Simon's sight, he took a step behind the girl and whispered in a very low voice, "Ji Ziyin is here too."
"Hmm." Qiao Nian stopped and turned to look at Xu Yi when she heard what Xu Yi said.
Xu Yi's handsome face was cold and indifferent: "The person he just went in to find should be Ji Ziyin. Ji Ziyin didn't agree for us to go in for dinner, so he came out to apologize to you."
"It is said that Ji Ziyin hooked up with a hidden family. He chose to please Ji Ziyin and gave up on you."
Qiao Nian was stunned for a moment: "Where did you know this?"
She was not surprised by what Xu Yi said, but she was surprised that he knew about Ji Zinyin, the Hidden Family, and the Chamber of Commerce Alliance.
Xu Yi pursed her lips and lowered her dark eyelashes: "I told you, I am an illegitimate child."
He cheered himself up and forced himself to smile: "Someone from my family came to see me recently, and I heard some things from them."
For example, the recent major events in the Independent State.
For example, Ji Zinyin.
For example, the hidden family...
