2499 Just Remember My Help Today
Ji Ziyin’s eyes lit up with ambition. She pinched her palms to suppress her excitement and politely thanked him. “Thank you, Elder Yu.”
“Mm.”
Yu Qingliu actually did not take her seriously. However, he wanted to replace Martin, so he could only use Ji Ziyin for now.
That was why he was willing to help her build these connections. Otherwise, Ji Ziyin, from a collateral branch, would never take over the Ji family without Ji Lingfeng’s permission.
“You don’t have to thank me. Just remember my help today!”

“Qiao, the royal family has replied.”
Qiao Nian had just come out of the Pharmacy Association when Jian Jin called her.
She put the cell phone to her ear, her eyes alight. “Yes, what did they say?”
Jian Jin smiled and said with a mocking expression, “What else can they say? Of course, they hope that you can treat the old ancestor as soon as possible.”
Jian Jin did not even mention the slap in the face that had happened in the royal family. Instead, she said, “They mean that they want you to go to the royal family immediately. I’ve pushed it to the day after tomorrow for you.”
Who was Qiao Nian? She understood what Jian Jin meant almost immediately.
Jian Jin deliberately kept the other party hanging to grind their temper.
She had originally planned to stay in Country M for a week to half a month. Two more days were nothing. So, Qiao Nian only put one hand in her pocket and replied, “Mm, I understand.”
Looking up, she saw a black Bentley slowly stopped in front of her.
The window rolled down, revealing a young and handsome face. He took the initiative to greet her. “Miss Qiao, what a coincidence.”
Qiao Nian did not expect to meet an acquaintance outside the Pharmacy Association. She raised her eyebrows slightly. As she was still on the phone with Jian Jin, she only nodded to Ji Lin.
Ji Lin also noticed that she was on the phone. He lowered his voice and said, “Miss Qiao, where are you going? I’ll give you a ride.”
Jian Jin heard a man’s voice on Qiao Nian’s end and asked curiously, “Qiao, is there someone on your side?”
Qiao Nian had a headache. She glanced at Ji Lin and replied casually, “I met a friend.”
Jian Jin did not think too much about it. She thought that she was talking about Zhong Yiliu and the others from the Pharmacy Association, so she nodded and said sensibly, “Alright, I won’t disturb you anymore. Send me a message when you arrive at the hotel. I’ll tell you more about the royal family’s internal situation.”
“Okay.”
With that, Qiao Nian hung up under Ji Lin’s gaze. She walked to the car and opened the door, then politely said, “Thank you.”
Ji Lin waited for her to get into the car before asking politely, “Miss Qiao, where are you going?”
Qiao Nian opened the window and rested her elbow outside. She looked at the scenery outside. At his question, she turned to him, revealing an exquisite and eye-catching face and wild eyes under her baseball cap. “To the nearby mall.”
Ji Lin started the car. He peeked at the girl in the backseat through the rearview mirror. “Miss Qiao wants to buy something?”
“Yes, a gift.” Qiao Nian was disinterested in talking. She was not holding anything in her hand and did not look like someone who liked to shop.
“Oh.” Ji Lin did not ask further. He touched his wallet and prepared to be a gentleman and beat her to the bill later.

The car quickly arrived at a nearby mall.
Ji Lin parked the car in the parking lot and took the initiative to lead the way for Qiao Nian, introducing Country M’s customs and some interesting local customs to Qiao Nian.
