At the same time.

Ji Xiao and the others had already arrived.

The Privy Council was divided into the inner and outer courts.

The outer courtyard was mostly used for reception and recreation, so the architectural style was modern and majestic.

The black buildings gave off a dignified and inviolable feeling, and the structures were well-arranged. People could not help but subconsciously lower their voices as they approached it.

Ji Ziyin was waiting for them outside.

As soon as they arrived, she walked over and opened the door for them. “How was it? There was no traffic jam on the way, right?”

Ji Xiao got out of the car first and familiarly said, “No, the journey was smooth. The chauffeur drove steadily.” “That’s good.” Ji Ziyin smiled.

Liao Quan and the others also alighted.

The chauffeur also got out of the car and politely said, “Miss Ji, I’ll leave first then?”

His att.i.tude was a little more polite compared to Simon and the others. However, it was only polite and not very respectful.

Ji Ziyin did not feel that anything was wrong and looked like she was smiling.

“Help me thank Elder Leo.”

She was so polite to a chauffeur. Liao Quan looked at her in admiration and pursed his lips, feeling that he had chosen to support the right person.

The chauffeur nodded, got into the car, and drove away without saying goodbye to Simon and the others.

Ji Ziyin’s eyes turned cold for a second. However, she was good at pretending and quickly put on her smiling mask. She turned to the others and said, “President Simon, I’ll bring you in.”

“Yeah.’

Simon had been bullied a lot along the way, including the driver. It further crystalized the notion that Ji Ziyin might not be as valued by the reclusive families as she claimed. He pursed his lips and nodded indifferently.

“Thank you, Miss Ji.”

How could she not sense that Simon was deliberately keeping a distance from her? Her eyes turned even colder, but she smiled. “We’re all friends. President Simon, you don’t have to be so polite with me.”

Without waiting for him to answer, she immediately turned to the others. “Alright, let’s go in. I’ll show you around.”

Lu Yiming had one hand in his pocket the entire time. He was very casual and did not speak much. He only followed behind her.

On the other hand, Liao Quan followed Ji Ziyin in and thought of something.

“By the way, Miss Ji, I saw Xu Yi at the hotel this morning.”

He was just trying to find a topic to talk about.

“Didn’t you say that you saw him at the airport yesterday? You probably did not see wrongly. That person was indeed Xu Yie He came to Continent M too.”

Ji Ziyin was originally in a good mood. But upon hearing this, her expression suddenly changed. She immediately frowned and looked at him. “Xu Yi? He…”

She wanted to ask: Could it be that Qiao Nian invited him?

Ji Xiao knew that she was bothered about Qiao Nian, so he immediately stepped in to smooth things over. “No, I saw them too. I don’t think they’re coming to the Privy Council. They’re probably attending some conference here. It’s just a coincidence.”

Ji Ziyin retracted her gaze, her heart still filled with doubt and frustration.

However, she remembered what Cao Yanhua said and felt slightly relieved.

think so. I asked Senior Brother Cao, and he said that Qiao Nian doesn’ t have any tickets.”

Qiao Nian could not bring the research inst.i.tute people to the Privy Council without a ticket, so Ji Xiao’s suggestion was more likely..
