Zheng Bing drove carefully all the way, not daring to be careless. At this moment, he was a professional driver, solely focused on driving.
Xia Lin and Liu Jingru had not spoken on the way. Perhaps seeing Zheng Bing present, they tacitly remained silent.
"Miss Xia, we've arrived." After dropping them off at the hotel's outdoor parking lot, Zheng Bing said this and then got out to open the door.
"Thank you," Xia Lin replied.
"No need, no need, it's my duty," Zheng Bing said, waving his hands dismissively.
In his opinion, it was his honor to drive Xia Lin.
While he wouldn't dare to try and gain favor, at least he could leave a good impression on Xia Lin.
After all, one never knew when they might make a mistake and offend Xia Lin. At least then, Xia Lin might be lenient.
He didn't even dare to entertain the thought of offending Xia Lin. The key was, what if some clueless person offended Xia Lin one day and he got dragged into it? Then it would be impossible to explain. Just like today.
"You really should thank me, thank you for driving us back, and also for that incident not long ago. Thank you for providing timely information." Xia Lin was referring to the Jin Xiaochen incident not long ago, which Zheng Bing understood.
"Miss Xia, any normal person would do this. If Miss Xia needs anything in the future, please just command me. I will always be at your service." Zheng Bing took the opportunity to get closer.
He wanted to be a sycophant, a sycophant without any bottom line.
"We'll see. Leave my number. If you encounter similar situations in the future, you can tell me directly." Xia Lin then recited her phone number.
This was undoubtedly a divine mission for Zheng Bing. Suppressing his inner excitement, he quickly saved the number on his phone, even adding a note: "Great Aunt."
"Then I won't disturb your rest. I'll be going now." Zheng Bing knew when to stop, understanding the situation.
Xia Lin nodded and, linking arms with Liu Jingru, walked into the hotel.
Zheng Bing did not expect this stroke of luck. He got back into his car and let out a shout to vent his excitement.
He had forgotten all about his original plan to deal with Shang Mingda later and drove straight home.
After Xia Lin and Liu Jingru returned to the hotel, Liu Jingru could no longer hold back and questioned, "Lin'er, you're too much! You've kept this from me for so many years. Hurry up and tell me, which big family are you from?"
Xia Lin's performance today would make anyone think in that direction.
During their time at school, Xia Lin had been a diligent student who worked part-time. Other than knowing she had a brother, no one knew anything else about her.
"It's not like that. It's all because of my brother," Xia Lin explained.
"Your brother is back?" Liu Jingru asked excitedly.
When they were at school, Xia Lin had said her brother was abroad and hadn't returned for many years.
In fact, she and her brother had lost contact, and she had just used that as an excuse. He wasn't abroad at all.
"Yes, he returned a few months ago." Xia Lin nodded.
"Wow, a king's return?" Liu Jingru exclaimed in surprise.
"It's not that much, just okay," Xia Lin said, twitching her nose.
"I really envy you for having such a brother. It would be awesome if I had a good brother like that." Liu Jingru looked at Xia Lin with feigned envy.
"I'll hit you for teasing me." Xia Lin pinched Liu Jingru's waist, causing Liu Jingru to burst into laughter.
"Alright, alright, I was wrong, okay?" Liu Jingru quickly begged for mercy.
"Hehe... let's play some more." Xia Lin, feeling playful, pinched her a few more times.
Their playful sounds echoed throughout the room.
After a while, tired from their play, both of them stopped. Liu Jingru lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling, and said, "You said you would introduce some young masters to me tomorrow. Is that still valid?"
When Xia Lin had said this during dinner, Liu Jingru hadn't thought much of it at first, only feeling curious. But now, Liu Jingru genuinely wanted to see them, especially since Xia Lin mentioned they were people she knew.
"How about tomorrow at noon, I'll have them invite you to the Holiday Dynasty Hotel for a big meal?" Xia Lin suggested.
"Okay, let me help you vet them," Liu Jingru said, winking at Xia Lin.
"You want me to tickle you again, don't you?"
"No, no, please spare me, Miss Lin."
"No, this young lady will not spare you. Hehe..."
After playing for a while longer, Xia Lin sent a message to her brother, Xia Feng, saying she wouldn't be back tonight and would be staying overnight at the hotel with her classmate.
The next day, Xia Lin notified the group including "National Young Wang" in the morning.
Around 10:30 AM, "National Young Wang" drove over to pick up Xia Lin. Meanwhile, Qin Dou and Jiang Xin went to the Holiday Dynasty Hotel first.
As Xia Lin and Liu Jingru came out of the hotel, Liu Jingru said, "Let me call a taxi."
"No need, someone's here to pick us up," Xia Lin said, pulling Liu Jingru along.
Upon hearing this, Liu Jingru put her phone back in her bag and asked with a smile, "Is it some young master coming to pick us up?"
"Yes, over there." Xia Lin pointed to the Rolls-Royce outside the hotel.
"As expected of a young master." Seeing the car, Liu Jingru exclaimed repeatedly.
"Let's go quickly," Xia Lin said, pulling Liu Jingru towards the Rolls-Royce.
"National Young Wang" saw Xia Lin approaching and quickly got out of the car to open the door for her. "Lin'er, is this your classmate?"
"National Young Wang?"
Seeing the person who had arrived, Liu Jingru's mouth dropped open in surprise, even more shocked than she had been seeing Zheng Bing acting so subserviently the night before.
"National Young Wang," the wealthy young master, was known to most young people in China. Liu Jingru, who often followed gossip news, naturally recognized him.
Seeing the actual person politely opening the car door for Xia Lin, how could she not be surprised?
"It's me, hello." "National Young Wang" proactively extended his hand and shook Liu Jingru's gently.
Liu Jingru shook hands with "National Young Wang" briefly, still finding it hard to believe.
This fully demonstrated that Xia Lin's identity was far more terrifying than she had imagined.
What kind of influential brother did Xia Lin have? It truly was a king's return.
"Let's get in the car quickly, don't just stand there." Xia Lin pulled Liu Jingru into the car. "National Young Wang" closed the door and went to the front to drive.
There was no conversation on the way, and the car soon arrived at the Holiday Dynasty Hotel.
This was where "National Young Wang" had made his fortune, and he felt a sense of familiarity with the place.
After getting out of the car, they headed straight for a private room. As soon as they entered, Qin Dou and Jiang Xin greeted them, "Lin'er, you're here. We've already ordered the food."
Although Qin Dou was not as famous as "National Young Wang," Liu Jingru also recognized him. He was also a young master from Modu, and she often saw news about him online.
As for Jiang Xin, she didn't recognize him, but she figured that anyone who could be with "National Young Wang" and Qin Dou couldn't be ordinary.
Liu Jingru had become numb. After seeing "National Young Wang" earlier, and now seeing Qin Dou, she had forgotten to be shocked.
She wondered where one could go to "sign up" for a brother like Xia Lin's. If it were possible, she would want to sign up for one too.
