Chapter 2937: Didnât You Go Out That Day?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
âHello.â Ji Ziyin had just come out of the hospital when she received Matriarch Luâs call.
She opened the car door with one hand and casually listened to Matriarch Luâs flattery. After a long time, she asked, âWhereâs Lu Yiming?â
She remembered that Lu Yiming had handed the painting she wanted to Qiao Nian two days ago without hesitation and even wanted to cut ties with her.
Matriarch Lu did not know why she was asking about Lu Yiming. She was embarrassed for a long time before saying, âHim? He said that he went out to take a breather.â
âOh, I see.â Ji Ziyinâs eyes flashed with disdain. âMatriarch Lu, Iâm still busy. I donât have time to chat with you.â
Matriarch Lu refused to give up. âWhy donât I get him to call you when he returns?â
A hint of coldness appeared in Ji Ziyinâs eyes as she bent down to get into the car and fasten her seatbelt. âThereâs no need.â
She did not need him anymore!
She just wanted to see if Lu Yiming regretted choosing the wrong person!
Her expression relaxed, and the corners of her mouth curled up. She couldnât hide her joy.
All of this was no longer important.
Leonard was dead.
She was about to take over the position of Patriarch of the Ji family. In addition, she could also take a gamble with the Privy Council. She might be able to replace Leonard
Ji Ziyin was no longer in the mood to waste time with Matriarch Lu at these thoughts.
She said, âIâm hanging up.â
Without waiting for Matriarch Lu to speak, she hung up and casually threw the phone on the passenger seat.
Ji Ziyin started the car and stepped on the accelerator.
She had to contact the Empress as soon as possible!
Logically speaking, since Leonard had died in the independent continent for no reason, the Empress should have immediately taken action.
However, the next three days were peaceful.
The factions in the independent continent paying attention to this matter were all confused. They could not understand what the reclusive families and the Empress were thinking.
This included Ji Ziyin.
For three whole days, Ji Ziyin stayed at her residence, waiting for the good news.
Three days passed, but she did not receive any news.
Ji Ziyin became more and more anxious.
Ji Xiao had been with her for the past few days.
He was even more nervous than Ji Ziyin.
Seeing that there was no good news, he finally could not hold it in anymore!
Ji Xiao suddenly stood up and said, âPerhaps you should try to contact the reclusive families again? You can also contact Lord Shadow.â
How could Ji Ziyin not be frustrated!
She suppressed her uneasiness, pursed her lips, and stared at him expressionlessly. âIf I contact them now, wonât I be showing them that Iâm anxious?â
The Empress was not a fool.
The best thing she could do now was wait quietly at home for news.
âLetâs wait.â
Ji Ziyin restrained the coldness in her eyes and composed herself as she watched Ji Xiao pace in the room. âLeonard is the Empressâs right-hand man. He died in the independent continent for no reason while meeting Qiao Nian? ?The Empress wonât let her off even if itâs for her pride! We just have to wait for the news!â
Ji Xiaoâs heart turned cold when she mentioned Leonard. He subconsciously peeked at her expression. âW-What did you do when you went out that day?â
âMm?â
Ji Xiao murmured, âDidnât you go out the day Leonard was shot?â
