I Didn’t Call You Here to Be Comforted by You

“Okay.” Ji Hongyuan was used to being domineering, even at this moment. “Find a reason to come back. I’ll wait for you in the private room of the Seaview Pavilion. I have something to tell you.”

Ji Ziyin did not agree immediately. After all, the person Ji Hongyuan had offended this time was Ji Lingfeng. She could only get to where she was today because of Ji Lingfeng’s support.

Of course, Ji Hongyuan was very important to her, but if she offended Ji Lingfeng because of this, the gains would not make up for the losses.

She had just opened her mouth to make an excuse when the person on the other end of the call hung up.

Ji Ziyin looked down at her phone with an ugly expression. She hesitated for a moment before asking Gu Hengbo for leave.

…

Half an hour later.

A black Mercedes-Benz stopped at the entrance of the Seaview Pavilion. The chauffeur turned around and said, “Miss Ji, we’ve arrived at the Seaview Pavilion.”

Ji Ziyin had been thinking about something along the way. At this moment, she noticed that they had already arrived. She picked up her handbag, pushed open the car door, and got out.

She walked quickly to prevent being seen.

After she entered the Seaview Pavilion, a waiter went forward to greet her. Ji Ziyin covered her face and tried her best to lower her voice. “I have an appointment. My friend is inside.”

The waiter immediately understood. “Ah, Miss Ji, right? Old Master Ji Hongyuan is already waiting for you inside. Please follow me.”

Ji Ziyin’s eyes flickered. She pursed her lips and followed.

The waiter quickly led her to a private room and stopped. Then, he turned around and said politely, “Old Master Ji is inside.”

“Ok.”

Ji Ziyin noticed that there were a few bodyguards from the Ji family around her. She took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and walked in.

The private room was decorated using a Chinese style. The decorations were very elegant. Many calligraphy and paintings could be seen; they were antique pieces.

Ji Hongyuan was sitting on a mahogany chair with a pot of tea in his hand.

He raised his eyelids and glanced at Ji Ziyin from the corner of his eye, then said calmly, “You’re here?”

Ji Ziyin did not dare to act impudently in front of Ji Hongyuan. She still greeted him sensibly and obediently before sitting opposite him.

Ji Hongyuan casually poured her a cup of tea. The pressure was still there. He picked up the teacup and took a sip, then looked up and asked, “You’ve heard about what happened to me?”

Ji Ziyin quickly looked up and met Ji Hongyuan’s old but sharp gaze. She immediately avoided it and replied nicely, “Someone mentioned it on the way here, but he was not detailed. I don’t know what exactly happened.”

It meant that she had just found out.

With that, Ji Ziyin even asked considerately, “Sixth Elder, are you alright?”

“Hmph.” Ji Hongyuan could not see through Ji Lingfeng’s thoughts, but he could see through Ji Ziyin’s thoughts in minutes. He immediately sneered and said gloomily, “What can happen to me?”

Ji Ziyin realized that she had said something wrong and shut up.

“My situation is the same as you heard. From now on, I’m no longer the hall master of the Punishment Hall, nor am I one of the elders.”

Ji Ziyin was still shocked to hear it directly from him. She reacted quickly and immediately comforted him.

Ji Hongyuan had called her over for something, not to chat with her. He interrupted her impatiently, “I didn’t call you here to be comforted by you.”
