The wind outside the apartment blew across her face like a knife.
Ji Ziyin lowered her eyelashes slightly to hide the overwhelming hatred in her eyes. She clenched her palms tightly, even breaking her nails, and said, "Qiao Nian."
She called the girl who was about to leave, and looking at the girl's back in a T-shirt, her tone suddenly became very calm.
"Nothing good will come of you crossing me."
Qiao Nian ignored her completely and walked away without looking back, acting very free and easy.
The hatred in Ji Ziyin's eyes almost burst out again, but fortunately she suppressed it and shouted at the back of the person who left: "I was trained as the heir of the Ji family since I was a child, and you stole what belonged to me! You are a thief!"
The girl walked with determination and had no intention of turning back to pay attention to her.
She was left alone, hysterical.
Ji Zinyin looked at her leaving figure, feeling as if she had been slapped in the face. Her ears were buzzing and her mind was blank.
She stood there for a long time and refused to leave.
It was not until Yingzi called that Ji Zinyin restrained the distorted expression on her face, wiped her face, turned and walked towards the car on the side of the road.
Her steps became heavier than the last. She did not answer Shadow's call immediately as usual. Instead, she had a stern face and no expression. No one could tell what she was thinking.
Seeing the name on her phone screen about to go out, Ji Ziyin opened the car door and got in, then picked up the phone: "Hello."
Her voice was hoarse and low, which showed how deeply this blow had hit her.
"Lord Shadow, I have failed your and Her Majesty the Queen's expectations of me. I am very sorry. I will definitely..."
"Alright." Shadow interrupted her coldly, before she could finish: "Anyway, the mission given by the Privy Council is for you to complete together. It's the same for her to complete it as it is for you to complete it. She can't get rid of you."
Ji Ziyin scratched the metal casing of the phone, her nails leaving a trace of blood, she lowered her eyes and whispered, "Yes, I understand."
Shadow just comforted her with a few useless words, but did not tell her how the Queen planned to deal with Qiao Nian to support her.
Ji Ziyin knew exactly what the other party meant. The other party's words implied that she should swallow her anger and pretend that nothing had happened.
Her face was tense and she couldn't force a smile. She answered Shadow's words mechanically, but her internal organs felt extremely uncomfortable.
It was obviously she who brought the person back.
It was clearly her who endured the humiliation and completed the task.
It was obvious that she had joined the Queen's ship.
But these people asked her to endure and give in.
Ji Ziyin couldn't hear what Shadow was saying, so she just kept answering in a low voice, "I know, don't worry."
Finally, the person on the other end of the phone finished his lecture and hung up.
When Ji Ziyin heard the busy tone on her phone, her gums were sore and she clenched the phone tightly, wanting to smash it to the ground. However, she noticed the driver Leonard sent to her from the corner of her eye, so she had to endure her anger and did not dare to really explode.
"Go back." Blood was flowing from Ji Ziyin's palm, but she didn't care. She instructed the driver indifferently and coldly with her oval face.
The driver had been secretly watching her, and seeing that the veins on her forehead bulged several times but she didn't really let out any emotion, he kind of admired her.
"OK."
The driver silently withdrew his gaze and started the car again.
**
Qiao Nian returned to the apartment quickly.
Qin Si no longer played games and waited for her to come back.
He heard the door open and immediately said to the people in the living room, "Sister Qiao is back."
