2164 So Someone in the Ji Family Still Wants to Acknowledge Sister Nian

She spoke bluntly, as if she trusted Lu Yiming and was not hiding her thoughts.

Lu Yiming frowned and looked at her with a troubled expression. “It’s not that I don’t want to help. It’s just that you know that Lu Zhi won’t go home at all.”

“I know.” Ji Ziyin smiled and picked up the coffee cup. She elegantly took another sip before putting down the cup and saying slowly, “He still holds a grudge for being kidnapped back then and thinks that it was done by someone from the Lu family. However, hasn’t he maintained contact with the family these few years and has no intention of severing ties with them? You two are family and are connected by blood. I reckon that he can’t let go of what happened when he was young for now. It’ll naturally get better over time.”

Lu Yiming shook his head and said with a complicated expression, “You don’t know Lu Zhi. He… In short, no one knows what he’s thinking.”

The people outside thought that Lu Zhi had long stopped bearing a grudge against the kidnapping back then and acknowledged the Lu family.

In reality, although Lu Zhi did not completely fall out with the Lu family, he was not as close to them as the outside world thought.

His parents had contacted Lu Zhi several times to come home for dinner. Lu Zhi had never come back. It could be seen that Lu Zhi was not as close and forgiving towards the Lu family as it appeared on the surface to outsiders.

Only Lu Zhi knew what he was thinking.

“Yiming, this matter is very important to me. Can’t you help me?” Ji Ziyin asked when she saw that he seemed unwilling to contact Lu Zhi.

Although Lu Yiming and she were not a couple, he was indeed more tolerant of Ji Ziyin than ordinary friends.

He saw that Ji Ziyin seemed to need to see Lu Zhi. He rubbed the bone between his eyebrows, took out his phone, and said, “I’ll try.”

Ji Ziyin nodded and revealed a relieved smile.

Lu Yiming found Lu Zhi’s phone number and called him.

Lu Zhi did not take it the first time.

Lu Zhi did not take it the second time.

Lu Yiming wanted to forget about it.

But Ji Ziyin begged him again. “Why don’t we try again? We’ll forget it if he doesn’t answer the call this time.”

Lu Yiming had no choice but to call Lu Zhi again. This time, Lu Zhi picked up the call in the last few seconds.

“Hello? What’s the matter?”

The man’s voice was clear and low. It seemed gentle, but Lu Yiming frowned uncomfortably because he detected some mockery in the other party’s tone.

However, with a beauty by his side, Ji Ziyin could be considered to be the dream of the young men of the independent continent.

Lu Yiming did not want to lose face in front of her, so he could only patiently say, “Lu Zhi, Ziyin said that Tian Chen has a chip-related business. She wants to meet you and discuss a collaboration. Do you have time?”

“Huh?” Lu Zhi chuckled after a few seconds and asked him back, “Did Ji Ziyin ask you to call me?”

Lu Yiming felt awkward from being humiliated, but he did not flare up. Instead, he admitted, “Yes, Ziyin said that it’s not convenient for her to look for you, so she found me and asked me to call you.”

Lu Yiming asked, “Do you have to meet with her?”

Ji Ziyin looked nervous at the side.

She received news from Ji Hongyuan that Lu Zhi had uncharacteristically not chosen to cooperate with the Ji family this time.

That was why she wanted to raise her status in the family by doing this.

If she could do this, the Ji family would see that she was actually not inferior to Qiao Nian. That way, she would settle the small group of people in the family who could not bear to part with Qiao Nian, the rebellious direct descendant, and who still wanted to acknowledge her…
