Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ji Ziyin took off her sungla.s.ses and walked forward, preparing to enter.

The bodyguard blocked her way. “I’m sorry, you can’t go in.’!

Ji Ziyin’s smile froze. She narrowed her eyes at him, her fair face turning cold. “Do you know who I am?”

The bodyguard stood in front of her like an unmoving mountain. “Sorry, no matter who you are, you can’t go in without Emperor Ji t s orders!”

Ji Ziyin’s eyes turned slightly cold, and the corners of her mouth tightened.

Not wanting to get into a conflict with him, she simply walked away to make a call.

Ji Ziyin called He Lin.

No one picked up even after a few rings.

She suppressed her anger and tried calling again. It was the same. He Lin did not pick up.

Her anger had mostly subsided by now, and she began to realize that something was wrong.

Ji Ziyin called He Lin three times, and he did not pick up.

She frowned and called Ji Xiao.

“h.e.l.lo.” Ji Xiao picked it up instantly and immediately asked her, “Didn’t you say you were going to see the Patriarch? Why did you call me?”

Ji Ziyin looked at the iron tower-like bodyguard blocking the door and held her breath as she walked back.

She opened the car door with one hand and spoke with a dark expression. “Has the Patriarch mentioned me recently?”

“Huh?” Ji Xiao did not understand what she meant. “Mention you? Why would he mention you? Did you make the Patriarch angry?”

Ji Ziyin sat in the backseat. “The Patriarch didn’t mention me?”

The chauffeur saw with his own eyes that she was stopped outside the door and was not allowed to enter. Coupled with the fact that Ji Ziyin was on the phone, he did not dare to ask what was wrong and honestly lowered his presence.

Ji Xiao was very certain. “No. He Lin hasn’t looked for me since the last time he asked me to look for you!

“All these years, He Lin has always been the Patriarch’s right-hand man. He didn’t even look for me. The Patriarch definitely didn’t mention you.”

Ji Ziyin pursed her lips tightly, becoming increasingly confused about the situation.

Logically speaking, even the Chamber of Commerce Alliance and the Lu family knew that she was treated as a distinguished guest in the reclusive families and was in the limelight. It made no sense that the Ji family did not know about it…

However, everyone’s att.i.tude towards her was cold!

This was the complete opposite of what she had imagined.

. That’s impossible.” Ji Ziyin could not figure out which segment had gone wrong.

Ji Xiao finally realized. “Did something happen to you when you went to see the Patriarch?”

Ji Ziyin was different from before. She now had the backing of the reclusive families, so her tone was tougher. “No, I’m just asking you casually.”

She lowered her eyes, not planning to tell Ji Xiao that she was stopped outside. Instead, she remembered. “By the way, is it the Patriarch’s birthday tomorrow?”

“Mm.” Ji Xiao was relying on her now, so he naturally would not hide it from her. “On Sat.u.r.day, in the Intercontinental Hotel’s lobby. He Lin has already told the hotel that tomorrow, the Ji family will book the entire first-floor lobby for a birthday banquet.

“Are you going?” He finally reacted quickly for once.

Ji Ziyin rolled up the window and put on her sungla.s.ses to hide the coldness in her almond-shaped eyes. “Pick me up. I’ll go with you.”

She had a strong sixth sense.

She might be stopped outside the door like today if she went alone.

Ji Ziyin hung up and pursed her lips. After thinking for a moment, she said to the chauffeur, “I’m not going back yet. Let’s go to the Chamber of Commerce

Alliance.’

“Okay.” The chauffeur turned the car around according to her request.

The blue Bugatti drove away slowly, leaving only the taillights behind. Expressionless, the guard at the door went in to report to He Lin..
