Du Li's request for a meeting was directly rejected.
"Lawyer Du, what should we do?"
Zhuo Yue was indeed at a loss.
"I will continue to apply. I have encountered this situation before."
Du Li comforted Zhuo Yue, but Zhuo Yue had no one else to rely on at this time.
Shanghai is one of the most prosperous cities in China. Zhuo Yue used to be quite satisfied with Shanghai. There was no shortage of top brands or international schools here. Zhuo Yue's quality of life did not decline much after she returned to China with Zhuo Jinxin.
But at this moment, Zhuo Yue felt lonely from the inside out.
There was no one who could help her in this huge city, and no warm harbor that could be called "home". She could not see her mother and brother, so she could only return to the hotel accompanied by bodyguard Luo and Du Li.
Zhuo Jinxin was a VIP guest at the hotel, and her long-term stay was settled on a quarterly basis. Just a few days after the previous quarter's payment was settled and the new quarter had just begun, Zhuo Yue returned to the hotel and was asked if she wanted to extend her stay.
"Of course I will continue!"
The police took away some of Zhuo Jinxin's personal belongings, but Zhuo Jinxin's clothes, shoes and bags could fill an entire dressing room in the hotel suite, so the police only took away a small part of them.
If I don’t renew my stay, where should I move these things to?
You have to pay for the extension of your stay.
The hotel staff were polite yet firm, and Zhuo Yue was so angry that she trembled all over: "Our house is Jijie..."
"Ms. Zhuo, please be more understanding."
Zhuo Jinxin and Zhuo Chen were taken away by the police and haven't returned since. It's said they were involved in a murder case. Zhuo Jinxin has five long-term rooms in this hotel. Her suite is the largest, while Zhuo Chen and Zhuo Yue's suites are slightly smaller. Even the two bodyguards have two adjacent single rooms. The monthly room fees alone are a considerable expense.
This is also the reason why Zhuo Jinxin is dragging her feet and is reluctant to pay back the money to Xie Jinghu.
Staying in a hotel costs so much money, and when you add in other living expenses, the Zhuo family's mother and two children spend over a million dollars every month.
This does not include the money Zhuo Jinxin spent on expensive jewelry and high-end brand bags.
To maintain the most basic decency, you need millions every month. To live a decent and affluent life, millions a month is not enough!
Zhuo Yue had never worried about money in her life. When the hotel staff chased her to pay the room fee, Zhuo Yue felt embarrassed and annoyed.
Bodyguard Luo was very understanding and stood up to support Zhuo Yue, saying that the hotel's service was poor.
"Ms. Zhuo shouldn't owe you this little room fee!"
Bodyguard Luo said a few bluffing words, temporarily scolded the hotel staff away, and then turned around to persuade Zhuo Yue to calm down.
"How about we change hotels?"
Zhuo Yue was so embarrassed that she didn't want to stay in this hotel anymore.
With the reminder from bodyguard Luo, Zhuo Yue also realized that under the current circumstances, she could not afford the cost of booking five long-term rooms in a high-end hotel.
What a waste.
I have to save money to help Mommy with the lawsuit.
Just wait until mommy comes out.
Zhuo Yue comforted herself.
With bodyguard Luo and Du Li taking care of things, Zhuo Yue packed her luggage as quickly as possible and moved to another hotel with a pile of luggage in a rather awkward manner.
This hotel is of a much lower grade than the previous one. Although it looks clean and tidy, Zhuo Yue feels very uncomfortable and aggrieved when she touches the bed sheets.
"Why is it so damp here?"
Zhuo Yue asked bodyguard Luo.
Bodyguard Luo didn't know how to answer this question.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is already a high-end hotel. Both the bedding and the environment are definitely better than most people’s homes.
But Zhuo Yue couldn't adapt.
This is a young lady who has never suffered any hardship.
Bodyguard Luo thinks that Zhuo Yue should really prepare herself mentally early. If she doesn't work hard to adapt to the downgraded life now, what will she do when the financial situation becomes more difficult in the future?
The truth was hard to hear, so Bodyguard Luo didn't want to risk his life. Instead, he changed the subject: "That Zhang Zhijun is unreliable, and I don't know how much help Lawyer Du can provide. We need to think of other ways to rescue Ms. Zhuo."
Zhuo Yue thought so too.
But she didn't know who to ask for help!
Xie Jinghu?
No, no, now the police think that it was Mommy who hired someone to kill Xie Qian, and Xie Jinghu will not save Mommy.
Aunt Dai?
Mommy said that Aunt Dai is only suitable to be a friend when there are benefits. If a friend is in trouble, Aunt Dai will run away as fast as possible.
Seeing Zhuo Yue frowning and thinking hard, Bodyguard Luo reminded her quietly: "What about Ms. Zhuo's other friends in China? Even if you have only heard her mention them, it's fine."
