Chapter 197
197 It was a Misunderstanding?
Their ride back to the hotel was quiet.
Once in a while, Fang Su Jin would glance at the man beside her before she quickly retracted her gaze. She still found it awkward to be around Zhang Yi Hai. This boy often had a serious look on his face. Now that he was not saying a word, he was a little scarier.
It seemed that other than his sister, Zhang Yi Hai did not have any other interests.
After ten minutes, the vehicle finally stopped in front of the hotel’s entrance.
The doorman saw the vehicle stopped in front of the entrance and readied himself to help with the hotel’s guests.
A young woman stepped out of the vehicle and was followed by a young man.
The doorman had a smile on his face as he readied himself to greet the guests. However, the moment the doorman saw Zhang Yi Hai, the smile on his face immediately stiffened.
This... was this boy, not the President’s son?
Zhang Yi Hai often visited the hotel with his parents from a young age. Thus, as someone who had worked for the hotel for a long time, the doorman was quite familiar with him.
.....
But why was he coming to the hotel with a girl?
The doorman began to panic internally. He had almost forgotten to open the door as the two of them approached.
Then, he watched as the two of them entered the lobby before disappearing into the corner together.
This situation... should he keep this secret from the president that his son took a girl back to the hotel?
However, there was a few staff who had seen Zhang Yi Hai come out of the taxi together with this girl. Even if he did not speak a word, someone else will definitely talk. The doorman did not doubt that a rumor would break very soon.
As they reached the lobby, Fang Su Jin finally stopped on her track before turning to Zhang Yi Hai. “That... Zhang Yi Hai Thank you for sending me back.”
Zhang Yi Hai nodded. “It’s fine. Coincidentally, we happen to be heading to the same destination.” He glanced at the elevator and spoke, “Sister Fang, you should go and rest first. I still have something else to do.”
“Oh.”
Fang Su Jin watched as Zhang Yi Hai turned around to the receptionist. After watching him for a while, she finally walked over to the elevator and headed back to her room.
Because of that, she did not see that Zhang Yi Hai had left the hotel building again after speaking a few words to the receptionist.
After telling the receptionist to pay extra attention to Fang Su Jin, Zhang Yi Hai turned around to leave.
He paused to look at the place where he had left Fang Su Jin earlier and found that the girl was no longer around.
When he walked out of the hotel building again, Zhang Yi Hai found that the driver was still waiting for him.
Zhang Yi Hai slipped into the passenger’s seat and let the driver send him to the KTV where his friends were waiting for him.
He actually had no business at the hotel.
When he saw Fang Su Jin on the street just now, Zhang Yi Hai was reminded of the day he ran into her in Y City. Back then, she was bullied by a few troublemakers.
Zhang Yi Hai was worried that Fang Su Jin would run into trouble again and decided to send her back to the hotel. She was a good friend of his sister and Zhang Yi Hai thought that he should look after her as well.
...
The rumor that Zhang Yi Hai had brought a lady to the hotel finally reached his father’s ears a few days later.
When Zhang Yu Han heard the rumor that his son has been taking a girl to the hotel, he did not rush to confront the boy. Instead, Zhang Yu Han called his daughter to ask about this matter.
Zhang Li Xue was equally shocked to hear the news. After leaving her father’s office, Zhang Li Xue went back to her seat and texted her brother.
Half an hour later, Zhang Yi Hai walked out of his class and saw his sister’s text. After speaking a few words to his friends, Zhang Yi Hai went to a quiet corner to call his sister.
“Zhang Yi Hai,” Zhang Li Xue spoke the moment the phone call was connected. “You better tell me the truth. Are you in a relationship?”
Zhang Yi Hai was speechless upon hearing his sister’s nonsense.
When he saw his sister’s text earlier, Zhang Yi Hai could sense that his sister had an urgent matter to talk about. This was why he did not wait for too long before he decided to call his sister.
But it seemed that his sister was spouting some nonsense.
Zhang Yi Hai wondered if his sister was playing tricks on him.
However, he was quick to notice that something did not seem right with his sister’s tone of voice. “Sister, what are you talking about? When am I in a relationship?”
“Are you not? Let me tell you something. Just now, Dad called me over to his office,” Zhang Li Xue spoke. “He heard from someone that you took a girl back to the hotel. Zhang Yi Hai, you better tell me what is going on. Otherwise, I might not be able to help you.”
“What nonsense... Who is bored enough to slander me like this? Sister, I’m very busy with my studies and assignments. I did not even have a girlfriend. How would I bring a girl to the hotel?”
Even if he wanted to bring a girl to a hotel, he would never bring her to their family’s hotel, alright? He was not stupid enough to get himself into trouble. He was not that stupid.
“Two days ago, did you not go to the hotel?”
“I didn’t...” Zhang Yi Hai paused as he suddenly thought of something. “Oh wait. I did go to the hotel two days ago.”
Zhang Li Xue gasped at her brother’s confession.
“It’s not what you think.” Zhang Yi Hai suddenly had a headache. “I didn’t bring any girl to the hotel. It’s your friend, Sister Fang.”
“Fang Su Jin? Zhang Yi Hai, what are you doing to my friend?” Zhang Li Xue’s tone turned dangerous.
“Let me finish, alright?” Zhang Yi Hai heaved a long sigh. “I ran into her in Capital City nearby my campus area. She was alone. It was dangerous. So, I dropped her at the hotel, alright? After sending her over, I left. You can ask Sister Fang about this.”
As Zhang Li Xue hear her bother’s explanation, she then recalled that Fang Su Jin had mentioned that she was in Capital City for an exhibition.
“So, it was a misunderstanding?”
“Uh-huh. Someone might see me with Sister Fang and misunderstand,” Zhang Yi Hai said. “Sister, you have to help me to explain to Dad. It’s really not what you guys were thinking.”
