2053 The Ji Family Abandoned Sister Nian and Supported Ji Ziyin

11:00 AM.

Ji Ziyin, Ji Xiao, and her parents were receiving guests at the entrance of the Intercontinental Hotel.

She was dressed in a customized gown today. The petal-like skirt accentuated her outstanding temperament, making her look elegant and noble.

She smiled as she greeted every guest who came to greet her.

Ji Ziyin’s birthday banquet was held in a high-profile manner.

With Ji Hongyuan as her supporter, the standard of her birthday banquet was very high. It had long exceeded the standard that a side branch family member like Ji Ziyin should have.

In the past, she would have received quite a bit of resistance from the main family.

They would have felt that Ji Ziyin wasn’t worthy.

However, ever since Qiao Nian slapped their faces and openly became enemies with the Ji family, a wonderful balance had formed within the family.

Everyone tacitly recognized Ji Ziyin’s status.

Ji Ziyin had also become an unshakable leader among the Ji family’s younger generation.

In that case, the Ji family naturally had to give Ji Ziyin enough face and support her.

Therefore, many families and forces on good terms with the Ji family made an exception for Ji Ziyin’s birthday banquet this time, making it extremely ostentatious.

11:30 AM.

Ji Hongyuan arrived.

After Ji Ziyin greeted a guest, she immediately handed the responsibility of greeting the guests to Ji Xiao and her parents while she personally went to welcome him.

Ji Hongyuan and He Lin arrived together.

Ji Lingfeng didn’t come.

Ji Ziyin greeted He Lin politely.

He Lin was also very sensible and gave her a gift.

To a certain extent, he represented Ji Lingfeng.

Therefore, Ji Ziyin was abnormally happy to receive He Lin’s birthday gift. She felt that she should put it away and even specially asked He Lin to thank the patriarch for her.

He Lin naturally agreed politely.

However, a layer of worry had formed between his brows for the past few days. Especially when he saw Ji Ziyin’s birthday banquet today, he became even more worried.

After all, he had been in the Ji family for so many years and was Ji Lingfeng’s right-hand man. Seeing the specifications of Ji Ziyin’s birthday banquet, he could tell that everyone in the Ji family had an unspoken mutual understanding—give up the direct descendant, Qiao Nian, and promote Ji Ziyin!

He Lin felt uncomfortable.

However, he also knew that given how ugly Qiao Nian’s relationship with the Ji family was last time, the possibility of her returning to the family wasn’t high.

A smart person would definitely give up one and praise the other.

Ji Ziyin was a ready-made candidate.

“Has your mentor arrived?” Ji Hongyuan followed Ji Ziyin into the hotel and asked her solemnly with a tense expression.

Gu Hengbo was Ji Ziyin’s teacher and usually valued Ji Ziyin very much, so he had previously promised Ji Ziyin that he would come today.

Ji Ziyin smiled and said obediently, “My teacher is already inside.”

“Yes.” Ji Hongyuan’s expression softened a little. As if he had thought of something, he stopped and asked her, “By the way, didn’t you say that you invited a fellow disciple from the Level 8 laboratory? Is he here?”

He was talking about Cao Yanhua.

The smile on Ji Ziyin’s beautiful face faded as she shook her head. “Senior Brother Cao isn’t here yet. He must have been delayed by something in the laboratory.”

She immediately said, “I’ll call him later and ask.”

Ji Hongyuan nodded in satisfaction. “You have to interact more with the people in the Level 8 laboratory. It won’t be so troublesome to enter the laboratory in the future. There will always be a chance.”

He knew Feng Yu.

However, Feng Yu wasn’t someone who would give face. At the very least, Ji Hongyuan knew that he wouldn’t make an exception for Ji Ziyin to enter the Level 8 laboratory.

If Ji Ziyin wanted to enter the Level 8 laboratory, she had to rely on herself.
