Outside the Privy Council.
Ji Ziyin was about to get into the car when she saw an unfamiliar number flas.h.i.+ng on her phone’s screen. Her starry eyes narrowed as she bent down to get into the car and instructed the chauffeur, “Go back first.”
“Very well, Miss.”
Leonard’s family’s chauffeur turned around and drove towards her residence.
Ji Ziyin then accepted the call. “h.e.l.lo.”
Her voice was neither fast nor slow, and it was very authoritative.
The person from Leonard’s family’s side branch first introduced themself, then he told her the whole story. After, desperate, he could not find a way to tell her. “Miss Ji, you’re close to Elder Leo and you’re also a member of the
Privy Council. Can you tell me who I provoked this time? Who exactly is that
Zhui Guang? What’s their background?”
Leonard had given him a death order to wipe his own a.s.s before leaving the house.
However, after asking around, he only knew that the other party was from Country Z, was young, and was half an artiste in the entertainment industry… None of these ident.i.ties were substantial in front of the reclusive families. He could not figure out what went wrong.
Ji Ziyin already understood Qiao Nian well enough in the past two years. Thus, she immediately knew who he had offended when he mentioned Zhui Guang.
Not answering immediately, she asked, “What’s Elder Leo’s att.i.tude towards this matter?”
“Him?”
“Yeah.’
“He didn’t say anything. He got angry and then left. The Privy Council probably has official matters for him to deal with.”
Ji Ziyin’s eyes were filled with disappointment when she heard this.
She rolled down the window and took a deep breath of fresh air. Listening to the wind blowing in from outside, she lightly said, ‘You offended the Ji family.”
“Aren’t you from the Ji family…”
Before the man could finish his sentence, Ji Ziyin sneered coldly. “I’m talking about the Ji family’s direct line of descent. I’m just from the side branch.”
The man was also from the side branch of Leonard’s family. Of course, he knew how big the gap between the direct line and the side branch was.
He did not expect to provoke the Ji family of the independent continent. Anxious, he could only ask her for help. “Miss Ji, you two are family. Why don’t you help me think of a way? I’ll definitely remember your kindness. If you need me in the future, l…”
“You don’t have to be so polite.” Ji Ziyin did not let him finish. Her eyes flashed as she played with hair by her ear, revealing her fair side profile; she looked very much like a socialite at this moment. “l don’t have a good relations.h.i.+p with her, so I can’t help you much.”
At this moment, her tone changed. “But…”
The other party was like a drowning man clutching at a straw. He hurriedly asked, “But what? Miss Ji, just say it clearly. Don’t beat around the bush.” Ji Ziyin’s lips curled up. She gently placed her hand on her knee and elegantly said, “There are a few people she values in Beijing. One of them is her aunt.
You might be able to think of a way from this aspect.”
Leonard did not know that Ji Ziyin had come up with an idea behind his back. He went to the Privy Council to look for Elder Xue and ask him to stop Qiao Nian.
Unexpectedly, Xue Cong, that old fart, refused to help. He returned to his residence with a stomach full of anger and found that the person from the branch family that had come to look for him had already left.
He asked a servant when he left.
The servant said that the person from the branch family left him a message before they left, saying that they had already thought of a solution and told him not to worry.
Leonard frowned. He did not know what idea the other party had come up with..
