He Lin followed Xie Yun all the way to Ji Lingfeng's residence. At one point, he couldn't keep up with Xie Yun and had no choice but to speed up.
"Madam."
Silence.
Xie Yun had no intention of speaking to him. She walked without looking back.
He Lin grew anxious upon seeing she was about to barge into Ji Lingfeng's office. Not caring about seniority, he quickly reached out to stop her from rushing in.
"Madam, why don't you wait outside while I go in and tell the Patriarch you're here?"
Xie Yun narrowed her eyes and scanned at him from head to toe. "You dare to stop me?"
"How would I dare..." He Lin smiled bitterly and tried to calm her. "But Madam, you should know the Patriarch's current condition. I'm worried..."
He should have ended up mediocre in this life but had managed to be promoted to his current position all because of the Patriarch.
He Lin naturally did not dare to offend his superiors.
However, the Patriarch really couldn't waste the strength quarreling with Madam anymore. If they quarreled again, he suspected the Patriarch wouldn't be able to force himself to attend today's meeting.
Seeing that her expression had softened, He Lin dared to say in a low voice, "Madam, you know the Patriarch's health. He..."
The harshness in Xie Yun's eyes faded, but she had no intention of backing down. "I'm just going in to talk to him."
Seeing her attitude, He Lin knew he couldn't stop her. If he forcefully stopped Xie Yun from entering, it might alarm the people in the Righteousness Hall.
He could only make way with pursed lips. "The Patriarch is inside."
Xie Yun glanced at him but did not say anything. She walked past him and went straight through the corridor, pushing open the door of Ji Lingfeng's study.
