Chapter 655: Big Bosses Gather! Supporting Qingqing (1)

This was clearly a disregard for the years of friendship between their two families!

“The matters of the master are not ours to question,” the Lin family butler responded with neither servility nor overbearing pride. “I apologize, everyone, the timing is truly unfortunate.”

Seeing that Old Master Ji was on the brink of an outburst, Ji Longtai quickly interjected, “First come, first served; we arrived late, so let’s schedule another time. We are all in the City of Sijiu; a meeting is bound to happen sooner or later. Let’s go, Dad.”

With his anger barely contained, Old Master Ji left with Ji Longtai.

“Dad, the Lin family has gotten a bit too arrogant recently because they got a contract from the LI family,” Ji Longtai shook his head disapprovingly. “They are short-sighted. Lin Qingchen may be a doctor, but the Lin family lacks someone like LI Yanchen. Once Lin Bojian grows old, you’ll see the Lin family will eventually fall out of the ranks of the wealthy families.”

“They indeed lack vision, not recognizing that Qingwei could rank in the top fifty of the international joint examination,” Old Master Ji commented coldly. “Once we move to the Free State, the Lin family will be insignificant.”

After being rebuffed at the Lin household, they did not linger and immediately headed to the LI residence.

At that time, LI Yanchen was dining with Bai Jinxi. Upon hearing the Ji family’s purpose, he did not decline and accepted their visit.

Old Master Ji felt more at ease and complimented, “I heard Miss Bai has been accepted into the Sijiu City Hospital. Truly an accomplished young woman, well-suited to President Ll.”

But this was merely a courteous remark.

Everyone knew that Bai Jinxi was just a stand-in sought out by LI Yanchen.

But the affairs of other families were not their concern.

The wealthy families of Sijiu City were only connected by interests.

Probably the only one unaware was Miss Bai herself.

After seeing off Old Master Ji and Ji Longtai, LI Yanchen turned to Bai Jinxi, his tone indifferent, “What made you think of joining a reality show? You’re not someone who likes the spotlight.”

Bai Jinxi’s heart skipped a beat, but her smile remained unchanged, “I heard about this show from a teacher. It’s different from usual entertainment; it involves international experts teaching. I wanted to learn more about medicine and make some friends.”

LI Yanchen nodded and did not pursue the matter further.

Bai Jinxi exhaled slowly.

If LI Yanchen knew about her past relationship with Su Yang, it could be the end of her.

The LI family was notoriously ruthless; she had once witnessed the Second LI Uncle order a servant to flay a man alive.

LI Yanchen himself was not to be underestimated, always carrying a gun.

If it were not for survival, she would not have tied herself to the LI family.

Bai Jinxi pursed her lips, her fingers tightening.

She definitely needed to warn Su Yang.

To avoid death, theirpast relationship must remain a secret.

Outside, Old Master Ji and Ji Longtai continued on to the next family.

“We didn’t see LI Yuzhi; he’s probably still searching for his son,” Old Master Ji remarked indifferently. “Why bother? He has no shortage of women to bear him children, clinging to a lost child, his wife gone, his business in shambles.”

Ji Longtai was unconcerned, “Even if found, it would be useless. LI Yanchen has been running the Li family with an iron grip these past years; we don’t even know where that child was taken. If still alive, he’d be nothing but a burden.”

LI Yanchen, on the other hand, was different. The LI family had invested all their resources in him; he was highly competent.

As for his character, that was not their concern.

In the end, the Ji family managed to invite half of the Sijiu families to celebrate Ji Qingwei’s birthday.

The matter with the Lin family didn’t bother Old Master Ji much anymore, and he asked, “Isn’t Qingyao coming back? She doesn’t want to return home anymore?”

The butler quickly stepped forward, “Miss Qingyao has taken on a mission from the Thousand Army Alliance; she’s on a business trip, not in Sijiu City.”

“She doesn’t come back even for her younger sister’s birthday; she’s becoming more rebellious by the day. What did I do to deserve such a child?” Ji Longtai slammed his hand on the table.

“Since it’s a mission from the Thousand Army Alliance, we must be cautious,” Old Master Ji raised his hand to calm him. “She hasn’t been expelled from the alliance, which shows her competence. Favoritism is fine, but don’t let her feel neglected. ”

Ji Longtai nodded, ‘You’re right. After Qingwei’s birthday party, I’ll visit her at the Thousand Army Alliance.”

Meanwhile, in the Central State, MO City.

In the secret chamber of the MO family.

MO Yanwen once again reassembled Yu Xiheng’s wheelchair, adding many new hidden weapons..
