“Thank you, Young Master Ye.” Xue Zhu was the first to react. She thanked Ye Wangchuan readily and did not refuse.
Then, she pushed Qiao Nian with a smile and said, “It’s getting late. Go back quickly.”
Qiao Nian pulled down her baseball cap, looked at them with her dark eyes, and casually said, “Let’s go.”
“Go.” Xue Zhu waved goodbye.
“Okay.” When Gu San stopped the car in front of them, Qiao Nian opened the door and got in.
Ye Wangchuan got into the car after her.
Qin Si followed closely behind.
The car quickly drove away and disappeared into the night.
Xue Zhu waited for the black car to disappear before retracting her hand.
Then, she turned to the others and said, “Let’s go back to the hotel too.” Xu Yi and the rest started walking when Qiao Nian sent a message to the group.
[Q: Call me if you need anything. I’ll send you guys off the day after tomorrow.]
Everyone saw the group chat message.
Han Cheng shook his head and smiled. “We already said she doesn’t need to send us off.’
Of course, Shen Qingfeng and Cao Yanhua also saw the message. They were stunned for a moment before smiling.
Xue Zhu was not surprised. Qiao Nian was such a person.
Cold on the outside but hot on the inside.
She hooked arms with Xu Yi and pushed him inside. “She’s gone. Let’s go.”
In a private room in the hotel’s Western cafeteria.
The atmosphere in the second half of the meal was gloomy.
John had yet to return after almost half an hour since he went out to make the call. Ji Ziyin and the rest were the only ones in the private room.
“When are you guys going back?” Ji Ziyin put down her knife and fork and broke the stalemate.
Simon now understood Ji Ziyin’s status among the reclusive families. Feeling regretful and annoyed, he wiped his mouth with a tissue and calmly said,
“Tomorrow. ”
“I’ll drive you tomorrow.”
She meant that she wanted everyone to leave together.
Liao Quan did not say anything. He had been very discouraged since this morning. He did not have much energy and just sat there to make up the numbers.
Ji Xiao could not bear to leave. “President Simon, aren’t you going to explore anymore?”
Simon ignored him as he casually threw the tissue paper he wiped his hands with on the table.
Ji Xiao was unwilling to give up. “We can stay for two more days. It’s not like we only have tonight…”
He meant that Ji Ziyin could introduce more people from the hidden families to them.
However, Simon did not like to hear it. “There’s no need. I still have things to do. If you want to stay, stay. I won’t force you to come back with me.”
Ji Xiao was rendered speechless.
He did not feel that Simon was forcing him.
He could tell that Ji Ziyin wanted to rope in the Chamber of Commerce Alliance. Once Simon left, she would not waste any more time on him.
Lu Yiming put down his knife and fork and looked at the mature man. “I’ll go with you.”
Simon was a little surprised, but he did not say anything. He just nodded. “Alright, nine o’clock tomorrow morning.”
“Alright,” Lu Yiming agreed.
Then, he looked at Ji Ziyin and said, “Miss Ji, you don’t have to come see us off tomorrow. We’re leaving early.”
How could Ji Ziyin not see the huge change in Simon’s attitude towards her? She gritted her teeth and forced a smile. “Alright, then.”
Fortunately, Joseph returned at this moment.
Ji Ziyin heaved a sigh of relief. “I’ll tell the waiter to bring another bottle of wine.”
Unexpectedly, Joseph picked up his coat and, without hesitation, said, “Take your time. I have something to take care of, so I’m not staying..”
