On the one hand, they were disgusted by the Lu family's behavior of having arranged a fiancée for Lu Yiming and yet forcing Lu Yiming to kowtow to Ji Zinyin.
At the same time, he envied the Lu family for being so shameless as to lick Ji Zinyin.
After all, if Lu Yiming can really pursue Ji Zinyin, the Lu family will be able to move to a higher level.
Among these people, only Simon from the Chamber of Commerce Alliance didn't smile sincerely. He absentmindedly took out his phone and sent a text message to the number saved in his address book...
…
On the other side, Qiao Nian came out to answer Ye Wangchuan's call and went to the bathroom. She washed her hands in the bathroom and was just about to go out.
There were voices of a man and a woman talking outside.
"Congratulations on your admission to the Privy Council."
This voice sounds a little familiar.
Qiao Nian was not in a hurry to go out, mainly because it seemed inconvenient for her to go out at this time. If she went out, people would easily think that she was deliberately eavesdropping.
She was wondering how it could be such a coincidence and whether she had not checked the almanac before going out.
Then I heard Ji Ziyin's voice, always wearing a mask, saying, "I have to thank you for letting me enter the Privy Council this time."
"Thank me?" Lu Yiming was also stunned.
Ji Ziyin smiled, lifted her hair by her ears, lowered her eyes and smiled: "I should say thank you to your family. This time it was all thanks to Lu Zhi who helped me."
Lu Yiming was surprised, then frowned, a little confused: "Him? He helped you?"
Isn’t Lu Zhi on good terms with Qiao Nian
Everyone knows that Qiao Nian and Ji Ziyin have a bad relationship.
How could Lu Zhi help her
Ji Ziyin seemed unaware of his doubts. She nodded slightly and put on her shawl, "Yes, it's all thanks to him for helping me this time. I don't know how to thank him yet. It's just right that you can convey my gratitude to him. Also, I want to invite him to dinner."
"After all, it's such a big deal, and he didn't tell me beforehand. I can't afford to owe him such a big favor."
Ji Ziyin spoke calmly and didn't seem to be lying. Lu Yiming was even more confused. He didn't understand what Lu Zhi wanted to do, so he responded vaguely: "Yeah, sure."
Ji Ziyin was quite happy and immediately said, "Then please help me make an appointment with him."
"Okay." Lu Yiming nodded randomly again and agreed.
Just at this moment, Ji Ziyin's cell phone rang. She looked at the caller ID and said to Lu Yiming, "I'm going to answer the call outside."
Lu Yiming nodded without objection: "Yeah."
"You go in first." After she said this to Lu Yiming, she quickly walked out.
Lu Yiming stood alone in the corridor for a few seconds. When he saw that everyone had left, he went back to the box as it was not convenient for him to wait outside the bathroom.
…
Qiao Nian waited until they all left before slowly coming out of the bathroom. He reached out and pulled down his baseball cap to cover his eyes, then tore off a piece of paper to wipe the water stains off his hands.
Then he threw the paper he had used to wipe his hands into the trash can beside him, put his hands in his pockets, and slowly returned to the box with the silver-haired old man.
She did not mention Lu Zhi's matter, nor did she ask how Xue Lao and Ji Ziyan entered the Privy Council.
She lazily leaned on the tatami, and just in time picked up the mobile phone on the dining table and took a look, and saw another text message sent by Simon.
[Ms. Qiao, are you available recently? I still want to apologize to you for what happened last time. If you are available, I would like to treat you to a meal.]
[It’s at Guanhai Pavilion. I’ll book a table for the evening.]
Qiao Nian lowered her eyelashes, slowly put down the phone with an expressionless face, and still did not reply to him.
…
This meal was already at one o'clock in the afternoon.
In addition to coming to see her, Mr. Xue also has to go to the Ji family.
