1805 Miss Ji Is Willing to Owe You a Favor
"Miss Qiao, I apologize for my rash actions previously. I've already contacted Director Hu to arrange the best ward for Old Master Jiang and President Jiang... I'll definitely compensate the Jiang family accordingly in the future. I hope you can let this matter go on account that everyone is in the capital's circle."
He had already made sufficient preparations before coming. Of course, he did not think she would agree with just this. Thus, he took out his trump card.
"Miss Qiao has been to the Independent Continent before, so you should have heard of the Ji family. Actually, it's like this. I know Miss Ji, and our relationship is not bad. I've already told Miss Ji, and Miss Ji is willing to be on good terms with Miss Qiao. If Miss Qiao can be magnanimous this time and tell Captain Bo to release our goods, Miss Ji says that she'll owe you a favor."
He Congming relaxed a lot after he finished speaking, and his nerves were not as tense as before.
He watched the change in the girl's expression closely and then continued, "Miss Qiao, it's not easy to get the Ji family to owe you a favor. Miss Ji's status in the Ji family is extraordinary. Your future will be limitless if you have a good relationship with her. You won't just be able to survive in the small circle in the capital."
He thought that since Qiao Nian knew Yuan Yongqin, Su Huaiyuan, and many other important people, her greatest wish should be to gain a foothold in the capital.
He didn't even think about the illegal district or the Independent Continent.
It was also impossible for him to imagine that the person standing in front of him was a big shot in the illegal district and the Independent Continent.
Even if she wasn't from a big family like the Ji family, she wasn't some nameless person.
"Oh?" Qiao Nian patiently listened to him. After hearing this, she reached out and pulled down the brim of her cap as she looked up at him. "Who are you talking about?"
He Congming could not figure out her attitude, so he braced himself and said, "I'm talking about Miss Ji from the Ji family in the Independent Continent, Ji Ziyin..."
"Oh."
The girl replied casually, "I don't know her."
--I don't know her.
These three words were a slap in the face!
He Congming's expression turned ugly, but he held back his anger. He clenched his fists and explained with a smile, "Miss Ji is the highest-ranking person in the Ji family in the Independent Continent. The He family has been working for her, and those goods belong to Miss Ji."
"I've never heard of her." Qiao Nian hummed lazily. It was still concise. Her attitude was enough to slap him in the face.
"I've never heard of her. I don't know her."
This meant that she did not take Ji Ziyin seriously at all.
He Congming didn't understand what she meant and was at a loss for words. He didn't know how to continue the conversation. "The goods..."
Qiao Nian looked at him expressionlessly. "I've said it before. If you want me to let the He family off, you have to turn back time. Can you turn back time to before my grandfather was hospitalized? If you can't, then we have nothing to talk about!"
"But..."
The girl's tone changed. It was cold and low now. "If you come to the hospital to disturb my family again, Mr. He, guess how many more days the He family can last?"
The blood in He Congming's body quickly turned cold.
He especially called Ji Ziyin before he came. It wasn't easy for him to convince her to owe Qiao Nian a favor.
He thought that Qiao Nian would definitely relent this time.
Who knew that she didn't care about the Ji family or give Ji Ziyin face?
She didn't raise her eyelids even when he mentioned the Ji family.
He Congming took a deep breath. He still felt that Qiao Nian might not understand how awesome the Independent Continent was, or how high the Ji family's status there was...
