Ji Zhinan's eyes flashed, but her face remained expressionless, and it was unclear whether she had taken Ji Zhixia's threat to heart.
She didn't speak, nor did she express her opinion.
Just as Ji Zhixia was about to lose her patience, Ji Zhinan spoke up: "I understand."
Then, he hung up the phone.
She put away her phone and looked up to see Gu Yibei staring at her.
Ji Zhinan smiled and opened her mouth to say something, but before she could, the man spoke: "Bai Chuan".
Shirakawa, in the passenger seat, immediately turned around: "Sir."
"Let's go to the Emperor Hotel first."
"Yes." Shirakawa responded and then gave the driver directions.
Ji Zhinan forced a smile. "Thank you."
...
The car soon arrived at the Emperor Hotel, and Ji Zhinan got out and went inside.
As soon as I entered the hotel, a waiter approached me: "Hello, miss, is there anything I can help you with?"
Ji Zhinan said calmly, "It's already reserved, V3328."
The waiter then asked, "May I ask your surname, miss?"
"season."
Once confirmed, the waiter immediately smiled and said, "Okay, this way please."
It's getting close to evening, and there are a lot of people coming here to eat; the lobby on the first floor is already packed.
The waiter led Ji Zhinan upstairs to a private room, V3328, but there was no one inside yet.
"Miss, should the dishes be served now or...?"
"In a moment."
"Okay." The waiter nodded.
The decor of private room V3328 is quite different from that of a typical private room. Usually, when many people dine together, there is a large round table or a long table with a dozen or so chairs. However, this private room only has two chairs at most.
It doesn't look like a private room where a family would eat together at all.
The waiter brought water to Ji Zhinan.
"You can go down now," Ji Zhinan said.
"Okay." The waiter nodded and quickly left the private room.
Upon hearing the door close, Ji Zhinan immediately stood up and looked around at the furnishings of the private room.
It was Ji Zhixia who called her over, so we had to be careful.
After a careful inspection, it was found that there was nothing wrong with the private room. The only thing that puzzled Ji Zhinan was why there were only two chairs in such a large room.
Just as she was about to leave, the door to the private room opened again.
This time, it wasn't a waiter who came in, but... a man.
The man was dressed very formally, in a white suit with a matching shirt and a tie that was perfectly tied.
He even got his hair done today, sprayed it with hairspray and combed it back, and even the watch he was wearing was the latest model from that brand.
In contrast, Ji Zhinan, dressed simply, didn't seem to take the dinner party seriously.
Without elaborate attire, only simplicity and unpretentiousness made Ji Zhinan appear approachable and genuine.
A hint of amazement flashed in the man's eyes.
"Miss Ji, we meet again."
He made an extremely gentlemanly gesture towards Ji Zhinan.
Ji Zhinan was not surprised when he saw the man's face.
After all, this wasn't the first time the two had met.
The last time we met was at that banquet.
The man in front of her was the same gray-suited man who had invited her before, but she had refused.
He suits light colors like gray and white very well, which makes him look very gentle.
Judging from his appearance, he probably already knows his identity.
Ji Zhinan did not shake hands with him, but simply nodded distantly: "Hello."
Ji Zhinan sat back in her original seat, and the man in the gray suit sat opposite her.
It was only at this moment that Ji Zhinan finally understood why there were only two chairs in such a large private room.
