After Ji Ziyin asked this question, she felt that it was ridiculous. She smiled and waved her hand. “Pretend I didn’t ask.”
Lu Yiming felt bad seeing her like this. He asked her, “By the way, why did you call me out?”
Ji Ziyin instantly threw her discomfort to the back of her mind. Her almond-shaped eyes looked at Lu Yiming anxiously, as if she was holding onto the only straw.
Not afraid that her image in Lu Yiming’s heart would shatter, she told him everything that had happened recently.
In the end, she said directly, “Can you help me check if this matter has anything to do with Qiao Nian? Did she do something behind my back…’
Lu Yiming listened to her patiently. Even though he knew that it was impossible for Ji Ziyin to look for him because of himself, he still couldn’t help but feel a little irritable when he heard with his own ears that Ji Ziyin only wanted him to investigate Qiao Nian.
He pushed the coffee cup aside and pursed his lips. Then, he looked at the woman who had once sincerely moved his heart and interrupted her. “I can’t help you anymore.”
Ji Ziyin abruptly stopped speaking. Her reaction was even greater than when he said that he was getting married. She immediately frowned and suppressed her displeasure. “Why?”
“I can’t investigate Qiao Nian.” Lu Yiming leaned back in his chair and faced her calmly. He did not hide anything from her. “Lu Zhi personally ordered everyone in the Lu family not to get involved in matters related to Qiao Nian. Once he finds out, he will fall out with the family.”
It was actually Lu Zhi!
Ji Ziyin had never expected this.
Lu Yiming smiled bitterly and maintained his composure as he looked at her. “You know what’s like in the Lu family. Our relations.h.i.+p with the Ji family is all thanks to Lu Zhi’s existence. Who dares to disobey him? So… I’m sorry, I can’t help you this time.”
Not long after Lu Yiming rejected her, he took the initiative to foot the bill and left the cafeteria.
However, Ji Ziyin did not leave.
She remained sitting for a long time after Lu Yiming left, unable to come back to her senses.
She did not expect Lu Zhi to interfere and warn everyone in the Lu family in advance. Lu Yiming’s rushed marriage probably had something to do with him too.
The Lu family was taking drastic measures.
Their first move was to cut off the ladder that she had used to get Lu Yiming’s help. Lu Yiming was getting married, so she could not call a married man out every day…
Ji Ziyin was so angry that she laughed. Her eyes were cold as she picked up her bag and prepared to go back.
Then, she saw someone coming out of the mall carrying bags. She recognized her at a glance—Qiao Nian!
Why was she here?
Was it a coincidence?
Ji Ziyin bit her lip and paused. Her gaze was fixed on the person below.
Qiao Nian quickly walked to an SUV parked by the roadside. The man walking behind opened the door for her… Ji Ziyin saw the girl disappear from her sight.
Unwilling to give up, she was about to take another look when, suddenly, a gaze shot towards her from below.
Ji Ziyin’s back broke out in cold sweat. They were clearly so far apart, but she shrunk her neck as if she were afraid of being discovered by the other part. Finally, that gaze disappeared, and the pressure on Ji Ziyin disappeared.
She looked down again. The SUV had already driven away.
Qiao Nian had long disappeared..
