Translator: DaoistLUbAbJ
After he left the Lin Corporation, Xia Shangzhou had come to Qingjiu a few times. After he picked up the phone, the owner of Qingjiu had just called for attendance when Xia Shangzhou reacted, “I know. May I ask, what’s the matter?”
“It’s like this, Mr. Xia. Your boss is drunk. Do you think it’s convenient for you now? Can you come over and pick her up?”
“Boss?”Xia Shangzhou subconsciously asked back. However, before the boss of the sake bar could speak, he realized something and spoke again, “Boss Lin?”
“Yes, it’s Miss Lin... There are more and more customers here. It’s really inconvenient to take care of her. Moreover, she’s alone. I’m afraid that if there are more people later, something might go wrong, so...”
Before the owner could finish his words, Xia Shangzhou spoke up, “I understand. Help me take care of her for half... No, fifteen minutes. I’ll be right there.”
“That’s not a problem. Fifteen Minutes is fine. Besides, Miss Lin and I are half friends...”
“Thank you. See you later then.”
“See you later.”Xia Shangzhou hung up the phone as soon as the owner finished his words.
The owner of the bar inched closer to Lin Jiayi and called her a few times to see if he could wake her up so that she could rest in the lounge at the back. However, seeing that she didn’t respond to his call, he summoned a waiter over, he helped to keep an eye on Lin Jiayi before heading to the bar counter to continue mixing drinks.
It was said to have been fifteen minutes, but in truth, it had only been ten minutes. The door of the bar was pushed open, and Xia Shangzhou, who was covered in a cold aura, barged in.
“Xia Xian...”hearing the commotion, the owner of the bar raised his head to look at the door and instinctively greeted him.
However, before he could finish his words, Xia Shangzhou had already rushed up to him and asked, “Where is she?”
Before the owner of the bar could even point it out to Xia Shangzhou, Xia Shangzhou had already scanned his surroundings before his gaze landed on Lin Jiayi, who was standing by the window not too far away.
“I’ll go check on her first...”Xia Shangzhou said as he walked over to Lin Jiayi.
“Director Lin? Director Lin?”
Xia Shangzhou called out to Lin Jiayi several times, but there was no response from her at all.
Damn, she’s really drunk out of her wits..
With this thought in mind, Xia Shangzhou glanced at the table, only to see that it was filled with empty wine bottles..
A frown suddenly appeared on his forehead.
She drank all of this? Why did she have to drink so much? Even in the past, when she hadn’t met Qin Ting or the day of Qin Ting’s death, she had never drunk herself like this before?
“Director Lin? Director Lin?”
He tried calling Lin Jiayi a few more times, but seeing that she was still lying motionless on the table, he turned around and walked back to the bar counter. “How much is it? Let Me Pay the bill for you first.”
The owner of the bar handed Xia Shangzhou a bill.
After taking out his wallet, Xia Shangzhou took a look at the amount, and he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
In just a few seconds, he stuffed his wallet back into his pocket. “Is wechat Okay?”
“Yes.”
Hearing the owner’s reply, Xia Shangzhou sent a message to Lu Benlai.
Very soon, Lu Benlai replied to him with a message. It was a transaction record. After Xia Shangzhou received it, he handed the payment code over to the owner and settled the bill.
After putting away the phone, Xia Shangzhou thanked the owner before walking over to Lin Jiayi’s side. Bending over, he picked her up and left the bar.
