Because of the time difference, Shadow called her at three in the morning and briefly told her about the situation in the Privy Council over the phone.
Ji Zinyin couldn't sleep in the second half of the night.
The next morning, she couldn't wait to pack up and go out.
She originally wanted to find Ji Lingfeng.
But when the driver drove to the gate of the Ji family's old house, Ji Zinyin remembered the embarrassment of being stopped outside and not allowed in last time.
She saw the security guards outside the old house, hesitated for a moment, rolled up the window and said to the driver, "Let's go to another place, downtown."
"Miss, aren't you going in?" The driver thought she came so early to discuss something at the old house, but she didn't want to go.
Ji Ziyin was in a bad mood. She lowered her eyes to hide her uneasiness. She hummed and didn't explain to him: "Let's go to the city center."
She thought of someone.
So he took out his cell phone from his bag and sent a message to that person.
after an hour.
Ji Ziyin was waiting for someone in a cafe near the InterContinental Hotel.
"Waiter, one iced coffee." She called the waiter, ordered a cup of coffee, and then sat at her seat waiting for the man to come over.
As the man walked over, the waiter brought up their newly ordered coffee and placed it in front of the man very cleverly: "Your coffee."
Ji Nan was wearing a light blue T-shirt today, looking fresh and handsome. He sat down and said to the waiter, "Thank you."
The waiter tactfully took the tray and left quickly, leaving them some space to chat alone.
After Ji Nan sat down, he didn't touch the cup of coffee she ordered. Instead, he leaned back and looked at the woman opposite him with great interest. He said in a calm voice, "What do you want from me?"
Ji Ziyin told him in the text message that she wanted to talk to him alone about Qiao Nian, otherwise he would not have made the trip.
Ji Ziyin kept silent about Qiao Nian, pointing at the coffee in front of him and said with a smile: "This iced coffee tastes good, would you like to try it?"
Ji Nan raised his eyebrows, without moving his body, and looked at her sharply with eyes that were three-quarters similar to Ji Lingfeng's: "Just say what you want to say."
Ji Ziyin bit her lip and spoke awkwardly, "We have known each other for more than ten years. Ever since I was brought back to the old house by the clan leader when I was eight years old, I have always regarded you as my brother."
Ji Nan frowned, looking very impatient: "Is this what you wanted to talk to me about?"
Seeing that he was about to get up and leave, Ji Ziyin quickly stopped talking and said, "I want to tell you about Qiao Nian."
Only then did Ji Nan turn around and look at her again.
Ji Ziyin stopped talking about the past, pursed her lips, and looked at him with her almond eyes: "Qiao Nian is your sister, right?"
"What exactly do you want to say?" Ji Nan frowned, very impatient.
Ji Ziyin didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "I know you have a good relationship with her and treat her as your own sister, but do you know how she sees you? Does she treat you as a brother?"
Ji Nan stood up suddenly and said coldly: "You don't have to talk to me about this. We have nothing to talk about."
Ji Ziyin grabbed his sleeve and stopped him from leaving: "Ji Nan, do you know about the recruitment of new members for the Privy Council?"
Ji Nan grew up under the education of Xie Yun, who trained him to be an extremely gentleman, with aristocratic blood running in his bones.
He couldn't bring himself to push the woman away, but Ji Zinyin's behavior still made him so disgusted that he wanted to pull her hand away.
"Let go."
