Chapter 2919 No One Picked Up  

:50 P.M.

Ji Ziyin, today's main character, had finally arrived.

The off-shoulder light-yellow long dress perfectly outlined her superior neck. Most importantly, the dragging skirt covered her limping.

Afraid she would lose her balance as she got out of the car, Ji Xiao took the initiative to support her. "You're finally here. Your mentor has asked for you several times."

Ji Ziyin hated the feeling of being physically supported. After regaining her footing, she shook off his hand and raised her eyebrows without batting an eyelid. "Why is he asking for me?"

"He invited Feng Yu, but Feng Yu didn't come. He probably wants to tell you about this!" Ji Xiao did not hide his disdain for Gu Hengbo's pretentiousness.

Ji Ziyin followed him into the hotel. Her heart did not stir at this news. "That old man was on Qiao Nian's side, to begin with! It's normal for him not to come. I would suspect his motive if he had come."

Ji Xiao said, "I think so too."

They arrived at the banquet hall in the blink of an eye.

Gu Hengbo, Liao Quan, and the others were at the door. Ji Xiao cleverly shut his mouth and did not mention anything related to Gu Hengbo again.

Gu Hengbo was the first to walk over. "Ziyin, can you contact the members of the WLA? Why aren't any of them here yet?"

Ji Ziyin did not intend to hold this celebration party in the first place, but Gu Hengbo had put a lot of effort into it, which satisfied a portion of her vanity.

Hearing that the members of the WLA had yet to arrive, she immediately found her cell phone in her handbag and looked at the upper right corner of the screen. "Only eight minutes left? What's going on? Is no one here yet?"

Of course, Gu Hengbo also checked the time. He immediately nodded with a serious expression. "Yes, no one came. That's why I was anxious to ask you what's going on."

He looked at her in surprise. "You don't know either?!"

It was as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on Ji Ziyin. She was speechless. How would she know? What did she know? She had just arrived!

Gu Hengbo urged her. "Why don't you call them?"

This time, it was Ji Ziyin's celebration party for becoming a member of the WLA. Hundreds of guests were waiting to open champagne and congratulate her. She would become a joke today if none of the WLA members came.

Ji Ziyin was angry that Gu Hengbo could not even handle such a small matter. She had no choice but to hurriedly make a call.

:57 P.M.

There were only three minutes left before the banquet started.

Gu Hengbo, Ji Xiao, and the rest waited anxiously at the door. However, no matter how many calls Ji Ziyin made, no one picked up.

"Sorry, the user you're calling is busy."

"Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable."

"Sorry…"

At the eighth time of hearing the mechanical female voice, Ji Ziyin could no longer maintain her dignity. Even her exquisite makeup could not hide her anxiety and frustration.

She walked back with a wooden face. "No one picked up."

Gu Hengbo, Ji Xiao, and the others were all dumbfounded.
