Madam’s Identities Shocks the Entire City Again

2143 Elder Zhong, Do You Know This Person?

There were more than 30 tables in the banquet hall, and every one of them was filled.

It could be seen how much Nan Tianyi and Xie Tingyun valued this time.

At the main table.

Zhong Yiliu and Ji Lingfeng sat at the same table.

The Ji family had nothing to do with the Pharmacy Association, but everyone was considered from the independent continent and knew each other.

Therefore, Ji Lingfeng still greeted the other party politely, “Elder Zhong, long time no see. Aren’t you living in Country M all year round? Previously, many people invited you to their banquets, but you didn’t have time to come back. Why are you free to make a special trip this time?”

The Ji family had received Xie Tingyun’s invitation.

However, Xie Tingyun hadn’t even said anything about her family. The news the Ji family had received was similar to the information Mother Xie and the others had found.

The other party’s surname was Qiao.

Ji Lingfeng’s gaze drifted away and landed on Feng Yu at the next table.

Feng Yu was talking to Zhou Zhou. From time to time, someone would go over with a wine glass to greet Feng Yu…

Ji Lingfeng retracted his gaze. His deep and refined face was expressionless, but his eyes narrowed thoughtfully.

Zhong Yiliu wasn’t familiar with him, but since he encountered him on such a social occasion, he still maintained his basic manners. He touched his teacup and smiled. “Emperor Ji, you’re too polite. It’s difficult for you to remember an old man like me. There’s nothing special about my attendance this time. Coincidentally, I had something to do in the independent continent, so I came over to join the fun. A friend invited me over for a meal. I didn’t expect so many people to come today. She told me that it was a casual meal.”

Ji Lingfeng narrowed his eyes again and he didn’t say anything.

At the mention of Qiao Nian, Zhong Yiliu liked her visibly. His smile deepened as he said, “I knew that today was her filiation banquet. In the end, I came in a hurry and didn’t bring a gift. I can only compensate her next time.”

Ji Lingfeng already guessed in his heart. He looked at him and asked, “Elder Zhong, the person you’re talking about is… Qiao Nian?”

Zhong Yiliu lived in Country M and didn’t know much about the outside world.

He rarely came to the independent continent, so he naturally didn’t know what had happened recently, including the conflict between Qiao Nian and the Ji family.

At the mention of Qiao Nian’s name, his eyes revealed an obvious surprise. “Do you know her too?”

Ji Lingfeng lowered his eyes slightly to hide his emotions and chuckled before admitting readily, “Yes.”

Zhong Yiliu wasn’t stupid. Seeing that there seemed to be a hidden meaning in his words, he cleverly stopped and only said politely, “That’s too much of a coincidence.”

A few people from the major factions of the independent continent were also at this table.

At first, no one dared to speak casually.

Seeing that Ji Lingfeng and Zhong Yiliu were chatting, those people relaxed a little and leaned forward to talk.

However, they didn’t dare to speak to Ji Lingfeng directly. Instead, they changed the topic to Zhong Yiliu. It looked like they were chatting with Zhong Yiliu, but they actually wanted to take the opportunity to get close to Ji Lingfeng.

“Elder Zhong, do you know this person?”

Someone said, “I heard that the Xie family is equivalent to announcing the heir this time. Tsk~ Who would have thought that the heir of the Xie family wasn’t Xie Xinyao?”

“That’s right. I don’t know what kind of person they are. To be valued so much by Xie Tingyun and Nan Tianyi, and they even held a banquet to introduce them to everyone.”

In the end, the man who spoke showed off. “Since the Xie family found an outsider, there must be something unusual about them. We’ll know when we see this person later.”
