Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
There was silence in the room. The Empress was so angry that she laughed.
Unfortunately, the person on the other end had no intention of communicating with her anymore. She only heard the sound of static coming from the cell phone.
Qiao Nian had already hung up.
“Who just called?”
Returning from a call, Ye w.a.n.gchuan saw the girl exuding an inextinguishable hostility as she sat outside the open-air cafe holding her cell phone.
He pushed the gla.s.s of juice in front of him to the girl and, without batting an eyelid, said in a low voice, “Drink the sweet juice. You’ll feel better.”
Qiao Nian looked at the juice, picked it up, bit the straw, and took a sip. Her expression softened, and she lowered her eyes. “She called me.”
“Who called you?”
Ye w.a.n.gchuan noticed her frustrated expression and roughly guessed who it was. “What did she say to you?”
“She warned me to abide by the rules of the game.” Qiao Nian put down her drink and said lightly, “Also, not to touch Ji Ziyin.”
Ye w.a.n.gchuan’s expression quickly turned cold, and a glint flashed across his deep eyes. “Ha, she sure knows how to care about outsiders.”
Qiao Nian glanced at him and leaned back in her chair. Instead of being angry, she said, “If she wasn’t such a person, she wouldn’t have done something like taking her daughter’s life.”
Ye w.a.n.gchuan frowned slightly and looked at her with heartache. “Then, you plan to…”
Qiao Nian quickly said, “I’ve never treated her as my grandmother.”
Blood relations were such a ridiculous thing. This thing seemed indestructible and fragile at the same time.
“Her rules have nothing to do with me.”
Unable to suppress her arrogance, she placed her hand on her knee and gently curled her fingers. Her fair fingertip tapped her knee again and again, looking casual and with an indescribable arrogance.
“l didn’t follow the so-called rules before I came here. It’s even more impossible for me to do things according to their rules.
“She’ll know my temper soon enough.”
What rules?
Rules were meant to be broken.
If the other party had not called her as an elder, she would not have the right to point fingers at her actions.
Since she used her status as an elder…
Qiao Nian’s eyes suddenly turned cold.
A person who killed her daughter with her own hands was not worthy of being an elder!
Qiao Nian quickly composed herself and straightened her expression. Then, she picked up her cell phone and stood up. “I’ll make a call.”
At the airport.
The plane slowly circled down from 90,000 miles above the ground.
As soon as the plane landed, Ji Ziyin was the first to turn on her cell phone to contact Leonard and tell him that she had arrived.
Unexpectedly, it had no signal.
Ji Ziyin frowned slightly, thinking that she was seeing things. She walked out of the cabin to try again, but it was the same.
Only then did she turn back and the flight crew, “Why is there no signal here?
What about your cell phone? Is there a signal?”
The flight crew quickly grabbed their cell phones and looked at each other. They could see the confusion in each other’s eyes.
“l have no signal.”
“Me too.”
“There’s no signal on my phone either.”
A bald man strangely tried another place, but there was still no signal. He muttered to himself, “That’s not right. I had a signal last time. Why is there no signal this time? Is the signal tower at the airport broken?”
Without waiting for Ji Ziyin’s instructions, he took the initiative to say, “I’ll go find someone to take a look.”
The uneasiness in Ji Ziyin’s heart vaguely widened. She pursed her lips and frowned. “Go.”
The bald man jogged off the plane to look for someone..
