Chapter 200: A long-lost title
I took a shower and was about to lie down to sleep, when the phone rang suddenly. Putting the bath towel aside, Zi Ling walked in the direction of the desk. Picking up the phone on it, she frowned slightly when she saw the unfamiliar number displayed on the caller ID.
Although this is the number she used before, it has been down for more than two years, and now in a few days after she came back, how could there be an unfamiliar number calling her?
Originally, she didn't want to answer it, but seeing that the other party seemed to be very persistent, she had to click on the screen and put the phone to her ear. There was some impatient "hey", but the other party didn't react at all.
Just as she was about to hang up the phone, a voice on the other end was both familiar and unfamiliar. And the title of calling her has been so long that she can't seem to remember it.
There is only one person who can call her "sister-in-law", and that is one of Situ Jiluo's subordinates, Applejack. Although he didn't have much contact with him, Zi Ling was sure that he was the person on the other end of the phone.
"That's... Applejack, actually, I..."
After all, it's been so long, and now she has nothing to do with that man, so she thinks it's better to remind the other party and pay attention to the title. However, before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Applejack, who was currently a little anxious.
"Sister-in-law, I know I've bothered you by calling you so late. But I don't know what to do with this situation now, tomorrow is the wedding, and I don't know who to find, so I have to call you. ”
Applejack knew the current situation of the boss and Ziling, and knew that he was a little presumptuous to suddenly find her like this, but he really didn't know what to do. If he hadn't clearly known that tomorrow would be Yan Xinuo's wedding, he wouldn't have been so anxious, and he would have just let them spend the night here.
"What's wrong? What happened? ”
Hearing Applejack mention tomorrow's wedding, Zi Ling's eyes widened, and she was sleepy, but she also woke up in an instant. After listening to Applejack's general description, she immediately changed her clothes and rushed out of the room.
originally wanted to inform Xia Yihuan, but suddenly thought that her stepmother had said that the groom and the bride could not meet the day before the wedding, so she dispelled this idea. Because she knew that if Xia Yihuan knew, she would definitely not care about anything, so she rushed directly to the scene.
So, she had to ask another person for help.
When she opened the guest room, she found that the light had been turned off, and Ji Xiaowei was already lying down, so Zi Ling didn't want to disturb her. Just as he was about to leave the room, suddenly a light came on next to the bed.
Obviously, she had just fallen asleep for a long time, Ji Xiaowei sat up from the bed, looked at Zi Ling who was standing not far away, and asked with sleepy eyes.
"Sister Ziling? What's wrong? ”
"Originally, I was looking for you to accompany me to a place, but since I'm already lying down, let's continue to sleep."
Seeing that Ji Xiaowei was already lying down, Zi Ling couldn't bear to call her out. Just when she was about to go to the club by herself, she heard Ji Xiaowei's voice.
"Sister Ziling, you go outside and wait for me, and I'll change my clothes."
Without a trace of complaining that Zi Ling woke her up, Ji Xiaowei immediately turned over and got out of bed and walked out of the chair where the bag was placed. She took out a set of clothes from inside, and as soon as Zi Ling turned around and walked out of the room, she immediately changed into them.
In less than five minutes, Ji Xiaowei had already changed her clothes, sorted out her messy hair, and came out of the room. Because it was the middle of the night, Zi Ling was afraid that he would not be able to stop the car on the road, so when he was waiting for Ji Xiaowei, he had already called for a taxi.
When I got downstairs, the taxi was already waiting outside.
Although it was late, Zi Ling was still afraid of being recognized, so she wore a pair of big sunglasses to block half of her face. It's just that wearing sunglasses in the middle of the night really looks weird. Sure enough, after getting into the car, the enthusiastic driver uncle spoke.
"Little girl, what sunglasses do you wear on the big night? Can you see the way? ”
Hearing the driver's uncle's words, the two people sitting in the back seat couldn't help but look at each other, and smiled a little embarrassed. In the end, the driver talked too much, and the car drove too slowly, so Ji Xiaowei couldn't help but speak.
"Brother driver, can you please drive faster? We're in a hurry. ”
"I said that the two girls' family, what are you doing in that kind of place in the middle of the night, you..."
If she knew that urging the driver's uncle would get him a piece of nagging, Ji Xiaowei wouldn't have spoken. Now, instead of speeding up, he thought it was all kinds of chattering and slower.
Seeing Zi Ling's clenched fists, Ji Xiaowei knew that she was about to get angry. So, she hurriedly leaned over and held her hand tightly. Although she didn't speak, Zi Ling could feel that Ji Xiaowei wanted her to endure it.
Anyway, she couldn't stop the car on the road in the middle of the night, so she had to endure it and not attack Uncle Si.
Finally, after a long thirty-minute drive, they finally arrived at the door of the ELITE Club. After giving the money to the driver, the two got out of the car in a hurry without waiting for the other party to find the money.
Because the driver kept nagging in the car just now, Zi Ling didn't have a chance for Ji Xiaowei to bring her to this place. So before she reached the door, she suddenly stopped, turned around and explained to her why she had come to this place in the middle of the night.
When he came to the door and saw the two bartenders standing outside, Zi Ling knew that he had to show his identity before he was allowed to enter. He walked forward, ready to explain to them, but he didn't expect them to suddenly give in, and took the initiative to open the door and let them in.
Although the reaction of the two bartenders was a little erratic, Zi Ling did not react much. directly crossed them and walked inside, while Ji Xiaowei, who was following behind, followed closely behind her tremblingly.
While looking for someone as she walked, Zi Ling had already taken out her phone and called back to Applejack.
It didn't take long to see a familiar figure cross the crowd and walk towards them, this person was Applejack, who had just spoken to Ziling on the phone.
"Come with me, they're upstairs."
After greeting Zi Ling and Ji Xiaowei behind her, he led them to the secret passage and came to the elevator inside them. The moment he opened the door of the box, seeing the appearance of four men falling on the sofa, Zi Ling's head couldn't help but start to break out in a cold sweat.
"Sister-in-law, what should I do?"
Looking at the scene in front of her, Zi Ling was intently thinking about how to deal with such a situation, not noticing Applejack's name at all. But Ji Xiaowei, who was standing behind, noticed it, but because she didn't know why the other party called Zi Ling like this, she didn't pay attention to it.
Actually, she saw Zhan Chengxi. Seeing that he seemed to have drunk too much, and his cheeks were red and lying there motionless, her heart couldn't help but accelerate.
"Send them to the hotel first, I'm afraid they'll catch a cold if they spend the night here."
Soon, after Xia Yihuan said this, Ajie arranged for the club's staff to come over to help. One by one, they were carried out through the back door and onto the club's van before they left.
"Let's go to the Yandi Hotel, it's not far from the apartment."
After thinking about it for a long time, Zi Ling finally came up with the name of the hotel. They will choose their Yan's Group hotel, not only because they are public figures, but also because the hotel is not far from the apartment. In this case, it will never be too late to pick up the bride early tomorrow morning.
Coming to the door of the hotel, Zi Ling got out of the car first and walked in the direction of the counter. After revealing her identity, she was told that there were only three rooms left, so she ordered the hotel staff to come out and help.
First, the driver drove the truck to the underground parking lot, and then asked several hotel staff to lift them out of the car. And from the inside of the elevator takes them to the rooms upstairs.
When they came to the hotel corridor, Yan Xinuo and Hu Yanxiu woke up because of such a big movement. Knowing that there was not enough room, the two offered to stay in one room. So, Zi Ling had to arrange for them to live in one room. Seeing that after the hotel staff carried them in, it seemed that as soon as they touched the bed, the two fell asleep again.
Shaking his head, after stepping forward to cover them with the quilt, Zi Ling turned around and left the room. At this time, several other hotel staff had already carried Situ Jiluo and Zhan Chengxi into a room respectively.
When she came to the first room, she couldn't help but sigh when she saw Zhan Chengxi lying drunk on the big bed. Then, just as she stepped forward to cover him with the quilt, she saw Ji Xiaowei walking out of the bathroom with a towel.
"Uh... Sister Ziling. ”
Seeing Zi Ling suddenly appear in the room, Ji Xiaowei was actually startled, but she was more of a weak heart. Seeing Zhan Chengxi drunk like this, she just wanted to take care of him.
"Chengxi will trouble you to take care of it."
Seeing the wet towel in Ji Xiaowei's hand, Zi Ling seemed to understand what she was going to do. Originally, she was still worried about what Zhan Chengxi was going to do, but now that she has Ji Xiaowei, she is relieved. So, after explaining, she turned around and walked out.
Coming to the room at the end of the corridor, Zi Ling did not enter immediately, but stood outside in a daze. She knew exactly who was in the room, so she was hesitant to go in.
Just as she takes a deep breath and tries to go inside, Applejack suddenly appears.
After settling everyone in and confirming that they were not being followed, Applejack came up to Xia Yihuan. In fact, when he saw her standing at the door of Situ Jiluo's room, he understood something. So, he suddenly thought of something, and he spoke.
"Sister-in-law, I'll go to Yan's house and bring their clothes for tomorrow and everything. That way, they'll have to rush back early tomorrow morning. ”
"Well, okay. Tell my maid that I sent you. ”
After thinking about it for a while, and feeling that Applejack's words made sense, Zi Ling nodded. After explaining what Applejack was going to say when he arrived at their Yan family's villa, he was ready to watch him leave.
She turned to leave, but before she could take a few steps, Applejack suddenly stopped and turned to Zi Ling before leaving. After Applejack left for a long time, Purple Spirit stood in place for a long time, thinking about what Applejack had just said.
"Sister-in-law, the boss will trouble you tonight."
