Chapter 2173
2173 Repeated Humiliation, Ji Ziyin Lost All Face
Ji Ziyin seemed to have been slapped. She bit her lip and her eyes flickered. “CEO Lu, what do you mean?”
Lu Zhi could not be bothered to beat around the bush with her and said indifferently, “Ji Ziyin, everyone outside is bragging about how you’re a once-in-a-century genius. But you’re… not qualified to me.”
Ji Ziyin’s face turned pale.
“I’ve told your Patriarch this, and he tacitly agreed,” Lu Zhi said coldly. “That’s why I told you to put away your thoughts and not embarrass yourself.
“If you don’t look for me, you can continue to swindle others with the title of a once-in-a-century genius. If you continue to look for me, I don’t mind ruining your reputation in the independent continent.”
Ji Ziyin gripped her cell phone tightly, her fingers exerting so much force that her knuckles turned white. “I never said that I was a once-in-a-century genius.”
Lu Zhi did not listen to her explanation. He only asked her calmly, “Have you seen a genius?”
Ji Ziyin did not say anything.
Lu Zhi smiled. “I’ve seen one before.”
He had seen geniuses before. Ji Ziyin was really not worthy of this word.
“For Lu Yiming’s sake, I’ll let you off this time.” Too lazy to continue talking to her, Lu Zhi said coldly, “Remember, don’t disturb me in the future!”
The busy tone sounded. Lu Zhi had already hung up without giving her a chance to explain.
Her snow-white face suddenly turned red, as if she was extremely aggrieved. Under the chauffeur’s trembling gaze, Ji Ziyin suddenly threw her phone out of the window.
With a bang, the phone shattered into pieces.
“M-Miss.” Scared out of his wits, the chauffeur got out of the car trembling, wanting to pick up the pieces.
Ji Ziyin stopped him fiercely. “You’re not allowed to pick it up!”
The chauffeur did not dare to move.
Ji Ziyin’s fair face was red from the excessive humiliation. She tried to calm down for a full three minutes but failed.
It was not until Ji Xiao came out of the hotel and walked to the car that he saw the chauffeur standing outside at a loss and the phone fragments on the ground.
He was stunned for a moment before asking the chauffeur, “What happened?”
The chauffeur shook his head in confusion and stole a glance at Ji Ziyin in the car. He did not dare to speak nonsense and silently lowered his head to stare at the ground.
Seeing that he did not seem to know, Ji Xiao walked to the window and knocked on it. Then, he asked the person inside, “Why did you smash your phone?”
Ji Ziyin opened her eyes and pinched the palm of her hand, trying her best to breathe evenly. She brushed it off uninterestedly. “It’s nothing. My hand slipped.”
Ji Xiao looked at the cell phone fragments on the ground. Ji Ziyin’s cell phone had been smashed to pieces. No matter how he looked at it, it did not look like it could be destroyed like that if it only slipped from her hand.
However, he was smart enough not to get to the bottom of the story. Instead, he frowned and mentioned the meeting. “By the way, let me tell you. Lu Zhi guessed that you gathered these people behind his back to look for him. He mentioned you in front of them. He seemed angry. Those people were also furious when they found out that they were used by us. They threatened to get back at us one day.”
Ji Ziyin had already guessed this outcome when she received Lu Zhi’s call, but she did not expect him to be so ruthless. “You said that Lu Zhi told them that I used them?”
