Chapter 175 - 176: Great Ups and Downs (4)
Aunt Hao said, “Young Madam went to the hospital this afternoon.”
Qin Zhiyou’s brow furrowed at this. She had gone to the hospital in the afternoon, it was nearly nine o’clock now, shouldn’t she be back?
Just as he was puzzled, a call came through the house landline.
Aunt Hao went to answer it. After barely speaking two sentences, she covered the mouthpiece and looked confused. Qin Zhiyou glanced at her casually, “Who called?”
Aunt Hao said, “The call wasn’t from Young Madam, but it does relate to her.”
As soon as he heard the words “Young Madam”, Qin Zhiyou immediately walked over and picked up the phone. The background was noisy, the music was loud, and the speaker was slurring; it was not Lu Weixi’s voice.
“Hello, is this Qin Zhiyou? Wei Hui won’t be coming home tonight. She’s staying with me. Hahaha, burp.”
Qin Zhiyou frowned, recognizing the voice as Xue Feifei’s, and she was clearly drunk. He patiently asked, “Where are you?”
“Where, I won’t tell you, hahaha.” After that, Xue Feifei hung up the call directly.
This has been one of the rare instances that Qin Zhiyou has been hung up on in his life, his eyelids twitched involuntarily. Thankfully, he had experienced Xue Feifei’s drunken antics before. He immediately called his assistant Wang: “Call Xue Feifei’s assistant.”
Assistant Wang quickly fetched Xue Feifei’s assistant’s number, which was added during the previous STAR drunken episode. After a quick chat, they got her location. He relayed it to Qin Zhiyou who immediately walked out, leaving assistant Wang surprised as he was only wearing his slippers.
Qin Zhiyou got straightaway into the car, his expression nonchalant: “Are we leaving, or would you like me to drive there myself?”
Assistant Wang quickly jogged to keep up, driving straight to Yuechun Apartments.
Throughout the journey, Qin Zhiyou continued to frown, looking out the car window, he had no interest in making conversation with assistant Wang, who didn’t dare to ask.
They soon arrived at a bar near Yuechun Apartments.
The bar was quaint, lacking the flashiness of a nightclub. A live acoustic band was performing above, while in a corner of the lower space, three women sat on a sofa. There was the talkative Xue Feifei, showing off her claws after having her drink. Then, there was Xue Feifei’s assistant, who was trying to stop her from talking and had shared their location with them. Lastly, there was their family’s Lu Weixi, quietly lying on the table asleep.
Upon seeing the array of empty bottles on the table, Qin Zhiyou knew these two girls could really hold their liquor. They had been drinking vodka and other strong drinks that could knock out even grown men, no wonder they were so drunk.
Seeing Qin Zhiyou arrive, the drunk Xue Feifei used her slurred speech to attack him: “Qin Zhiyou you bastard, you and Yu Sixing are both rotten… uh uh…”
The assistant, aware of Qin Zhiyou’s status, was scared into quickly covering Xue Feifei’s mouth.
Qin Zhiyou didn’t bother responding, he walked straight to Lu Weixi’s side: “Get up.”
Lu Weixi remained still.
He moved his hand to lightly play with her hair, his voice softening: “Get up.”
Lu Weixi stayed still.
Qin Zhiyou gently shoved her shoulder. This time, Lu Weixi moved, but only to tilt her head in another direction, shifting her position to continue sleeping.
It seems she was really drunk.
Unwilling to wait any longer, Qin Zhiyou scooped her up in his arms and headed for the exit.
