Unexpectedly, Ji Ziyin’s smile faded slightly. She lowered her eyes but did not answer him.

Old Madam Lu glanced sideways at her reaction and immediately said, “President Simon, this isn’t appropriate, right? We’re all here to welcome Miss

Ji today. It won’t be good if someone hears our conversation.”

Simon frowned at her. “Miss Qiao isn’t that kind of person.”

Old Madam Lu scoffed. “President Simon, do you mean we’re that kind of people?”

Simon’s face darkened. He did not want to argue with her.

At this moment, Ji Ziyin slowly said, “Everyone, stop arguing. I’m very grateful to everyone for welcoming me. I’ll blame myself if you quarrel because of me.” She looked at Simon and magnanimously said, “This is your territory. If you want her to come in, let her come in. It’s just that I wanted to talk to everyone about what happened in Country M…” She hesitated. “You know my relationship with her. With her here, some things are not easy to talk about. But it’s okay. It’s good for everyone to sit down and eat together.”

Simon was a smart person. How could he not understand her subtext: She would not talk about the reclusive family with Qiao Nian around.

Be it the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, the Hacker Alliance, or even Old Madam Lu, who would make a special trip just to eat with her?

Everyone held this welcome dinner because they wanted to find out some information about the reclusive family’s movements from Ji Ziyin!

Simon hesitated.

10 minutes later.

He came out and said to the girl in the baseball cap with a guilty expression,

“Miss Qiao, I’m sorry. I’ll treat you another day to apologize.”

Qiao Nian had already expected this outcome after waiting for so long. “It’s fine. It’s just a small matter. There’s no need to apologize.”

Simon had already made his choice, but he did not want to offend the girl. Thus, he asked, “Where are you going? Why don’t I get the chauffeur to send you there?”

Qiao Nian waved her car key and casually said, “I drove here.”

Simon did not know what to say.

Qiao Nian had already turned around and waved her hand. “Let’s go somewhere else.”

Xu Yi looked at Simon coldly and then followed the girl without saying anything.

When he was out of Simon’s sight, he took a step behind the girl and whispered, “Ji Ziyin is here too.”

“Oh.” Qiao Nian stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him.

Xu Yi’s handsome face was cold. “The person he went to look for should be her. Ji Ziyin didn’t agree to let us go in, so he came out to apologize to you. I heard that Ji Ziyin hooked up with the reclusive family. He’s trying to please her, so he chose to give up on you.”

Qiao Nian was stunned. “Where did you learn all this from?”

She was surprised that he knew about Ji Ziyin, the reclusive family, and the people from the Chamber of Commerce Alliance.

Xu Yi pursed his lips and lowered his black eyelashes. “I told you before that I’m an illegitimate child.”

He forced a smile. “I’ve been approached by family members lately. I’ve heard things from them.”

For example, the recent major events in the independent continent.

For example, Ji Ziyin.

For example, the reclusive family…
