Chapter 240: One wave has not subsided, another wave has arisen
At this moment, Yunzhi, who was dozing off in the car, was startled awake by the phone call. She rubbed her eyes, took out her phone, and looked speechless when she saw the caller ID. Ji Chen had called back at this time.
Cheng Shuyan, who was driving, noticed Yunzhi's change in expression out of the corner of his eye. While driving, he asked casually, "Whose call was it?"
"It's Ji Chen." Yun Zhi's slender white fingertips lightly slid across the green answer button. The next second, Ji Chen's gentle and warm voice came from the other end of the phone, "Ms. Yun, I'm sorry, my phone wasn't with me just now and I didn't answer your call. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"I'd like to ask Young Master Ji, do you know Yang Zixiu?" Yunzhi's voice still carried a hint of weariness.
Yang Zixiu? Ji Chen paused, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes. He knew about the things Yang Zixiu had done outside using the Ji family's name, but his grandfather, out of consideration for family ties, had made them turn a blind eye.
Could it be that... Yang Zixiu has offended Yun Zhi?
Ji Chen's expression changed slightly, and his tone became cautious, "I know him, but he's a distant relative. Miss Yun knows Yang Zixiu?"
"We know each other, we just met." Yun Zhi chuckled lightly, her tone cool. Ji Chen's heart sank when he heard this. He knew that Yang Zixiu, that idiot, must have gotten into trouble again. He had said long ago that Yang Zixiu's personality would cause them big trouble sooner or later, but no one believed him.
Yunzhi casually played with a strand of black hair that fell to one side of her chest. "I just had the pleasure of running into Young Master Yang, who claimed to be a member of the Ji family, at Miss Ji's bar. Young Master Yang seemed to have misunderstood me and thought I was a hostess. He and his two men chased me around the second floor of the bar several times, insisting that I drink with them. To be honest, I haven't met such a persistent person in a long time. Young Master Yang is really persistent."
Although she said she admired Yang Zixiu, her calm tone carried a storm of anger.
Was she supposed to be a hostess? He chased Yunzhi around the second floor of the bar several times.
Ji Chen's vision went black, and he swayed, almost fainting. Fortunately, he managed to stand up by holding onto the wall.
Yang Zixiu! What audacity!
Ji Chen gritted his teeth, wishing he could tear Yang Zixiu to pieces, but the most important thing right now was to think of a way to appease Yun Zhi.
"I'm sorry, Miss Yun, we will definitely give you a satisfactory solution to this matter. Tomorrow, we will personally make Yang Zixiu kneel down in front of you and apologize."
Even though Yunzhi wasn't in front of him, Ji Chen's expression was still respectful yet apologetic.
"No need, I don't have the honor of having Young Master Yang come to apologize. I'm also grateful that Chief Ye helped me on the second floor, otherwise..." Yunzhi snorted, "Young Master Ji should persuade his family to restrain these distant relatives, otherwise it will be too late if they cause a big disaster next time."
"I understand." Ji Chen sighed softly.
Yunzhi's original intention was to complain to the Ji family, not to hold a grudge. She changed the subject, "Third Young Master Ji, I wonder if Miss Ji and my brother have returned?"
Ji Chen also didn't want to talk about his older sister's situation.
He glanced at his eldest sister, who was still clinging to Yun Yun's arms, with a complicated expression, then touched his nose and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Yes, Young Master Yun brought my eldest sister back. Young Master Yun is still at our house now."
"Oh, I just called my brother but no one answered. I'm glad to know he's alright." Yunzhi breathed a sigh of relief, as if she was relieved.
Ji Chen glanced at Yun Yun, who seemed trapped like an octopus, and his lips twitched slightly. He was too embarrassed to say that Yun Yun wasn't answering the phone because she couldn't take it out.
Yunzhi hung up the phone without saying much to Ji Chen.
After putting away his phone, Ji Chen walked up to his parents with a complicated expression. He hesitated to speak, while his parents were still racking their brains trying to figure out how to get their eldest daughter to get off Yun Yun. Little did they know that another piece of bad news awaited them.
Ji Chen glanced at Yun Yun, whose expression was growing increasingly impatient, and then shut his mouth. If this young master knew that his sister was being forced to drink with a distant relative of the Ji family on their territory, he would probably fly into a rage on the spot. He could tell that this young master had a rather bad temper.
In the end, it was only after repeated persuasion from Madam Ji that Miss Ji, who was drunk, finally let go of Yun Yun.
After gaining his freedom, Yun Yun's expression softened a bit. He straightened his tattered suit and was about to take his leave when Ji Ziyang, who had been dragged away by two maids, let out a drunken hiccup without any regard for her image. She turned her head, squinted at Yun Yun's location, and called out, "Baby, get all clean and wait for me in bed. I'll be back in a bit."
Upon hearing this, Ji Chen almost choked on his own saliva.
Is the eldest sister really that fierce?
Ji's parents' smiles froze, while Yun Yun's face darkened completely. As if he hadn't heard Ji Ziyang's words, he took out his phone from his pocket. When he saw his sister's five missed calls, his pupils shrank sharply. He had indeed felt his phone vibrating incessantly in his pocket while he was in the car, but because of Ji Ziyang's nagging, he couldn't take it out.
He thought it was his parents calling, but it turned out to be his sister.
Could it be that something happened to my sister?
Logically speaking, Cheng Shuyan should have arrived as soon as he left. Couldn't Cheng Shuyan protect his sister? Is he really that useless?
Yun Yun frowned, but when he saw the text message his sister sent, his face darkened and his eyes flashed with hostility. He tightened his grip on the phone little by little until he saw his sister's message to let him know she was safe, at which point his expression softened.
Yun Yun, who was about to leave, suddenly turned around and looked at Ji Chen expressionlessly, "Third Young Master Ji, do you know Yang Zixiu?"
Ji Chen almost suffocated before he could catch his breath. It was Yang Zixiu again? Had Yang Zixiu offended Yun Yun after offending Yun Zhi? Impossible.
Ji Chen realized that Yun Yun had actually been about to leave, but stopped because she looked at her phone. She turned around and asked them about Yang Zixiu, which must still be because that bastard Yang Zixiu treated Yun Zhi as a hostess.
I originally planned to tell my father and mother about this after Yunyun left, but now it seems that won't be possible.
Ji Chen swallowed hard and nodded with difficulty.
Finally, under the questioning gazes of his parents, Ji Chen lowered his voice and repeated what Yun Zhi had just said to them. Ji's parents looked at each other and saw the words "the sky has fallen" in their eyes once again.
"Young Master Yun, I..." Poor Ji Chen had never regretted it more than now. He stayed overnight at the old house because he was lazy. If he had gone back to his own big apartment, he wouldn't have apologized for this while staring at Yun Yun with murderous eyes.
