Chapter 2602  They Don't Know I Entered the Privy Council?

Ji Ziyin thought she had curried favor with the reclusive families.

However, in the eyes of the Ji family's older generation who knew the inside story from back then, her behavior was like a dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy.

It was a disgrace to the Ji family!

After all, Ji Ziyin was once the leader of the younger generation nurtured by Ji Lingfeng. Even if she was expelled from the nurturing list now, she was still a member of the Ji family.

Previously, Ji Lingfeng could not spare the time to care about her, but now…

"If she insists on staying in Country M, tell her never to come back," Ji Lingfeng said coldly with a sharp gaze.

He Lin could tell that he was angry and quickly came back to his senses. "Yes, Patriarch."

"Go on."

Ji Lingfeng raised his hand, his face filled with exhaustion.

He Lin did not dare to stay any longer. He bent down and left the office quietly.

The man slowly opened the drawer, took out the old photo, and quietly studied the young girl who did not seem to have aged.

His fingers rubbed against the girl's smiling face as he muttered softly, "… Xiao Qing."

The girl in the photo was still smiling brightly and had a tenacious vitality.

Such a person had passed away early.

Ji Lingfeng revealed a painful expression. His curled fingers clenched into fists and he slowly bent his head. "I'm sorry."

A hot tear fell on the girl's face.

Seeming to have committed a serious crime, Ji Lingfeng hurriedly wiped it away.

The person in the yellowed old photo looked 50% similar to Qiao Nian. Her facial features were not as exquisite and ostentatious as Qiao Nian's, but her black and bright eyes seemed to be carved from the same mold. They were exactly the same!

It was Ji Qing.

"He Lin told me that the Patriarch has given you an ultimatum." Ji Xiao's tone was irritable on the phone. "The Patriarch said that if you don't come back soon, you don't have to return any more."

Ji Ziyin stood on the balcony of the top floor of the hotel in Country M and looked at the lights outside. The corners of her mouth curled up in disdain. "Didn't you tell him that I'm about to enter the Privy Council?"

"I told him!"

Ji Xiao was a little exasperated. "I hinted to him, but I don't know if he understood. Anyway, his attitude is tough."

Ji Ziyin's smug expression froze, and she frowned slightly in disbelief. "You did?"

That was impossible.

Shouldn't the Ji family cherish her again since she entered the Privy Council?

What was with their attitude? The inception of this chapter's publication is linked to B00kW0rm.

Ji Xiao did not want to tell her too much. "I even contacted a few elders. They were unwilling to help when they heard you were not back from Country M."

This time, even Ji Hongyuan was unwilling to look for Ji Lingfeng.

Ji Xiao himself was also clueless and could not understand the reason behind it.

He could only ask Ji Ziyin to come back quickly. "Think about it yourself!"

Ji Ziyin hesitated after she hung up.

At this moment.

The man in black had been standing behind her for some time. Seeing that she had not moved for a long time, he called out to her, "What are you doing here? Why aren't you going in?"

Ji Ziyin suddenly turned around and was shocked.

Seeing it was Shadow, her tense nerves relaxed a little. She immediately hid her cell phone and changed the topic. "My family called me and asked when I was going back."

Shadow glanced at her coldly.

Ji Ziyin was wearing a champagne-colored gown today, outlining her good figure.

Under her light makeup, her long black hair was casually tied into a single ponytail. It hung loosely and naturally on her shoulders, looking elegant and fashionable.
