Today's chapter is in honor of one of the greatest movies from the 1990s - "The Big Lebowski" of course.
Again, a disclaimer for the 11-year-olds who plague books on Wattpad: I do not own this movie. I do not claim any part of this movie as my own. Don't report this book to the Nazi Wattpad bots. All copyright goes to the respective creators.

And while Jiang Cheng was lying unconscious on a cold, dirty floor in the middle of nowhere, Lan Xichen was being driven home by his blond monster-Rambo of an errand boy, Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian were having late breakfast, listening to Estella's fine cursing because all my plans for today – GONE!!!, Mister X was having greasy Italian pizza for breakfast, Wen Ning was thoughtfully washing extremely clean wine glasses all over again, and Jin Zixuan was cursing the shitty traffic downtown just as loudly on his way back to HQ, as he had done on his waytothe bar, Jiang Yanli was squatting (too uncomfortably) in her armchair, watching the odd little girl closely, like a hawk. A-Xuan was already running far too late, and she made a mental note to be extremely mad at him for at least 2 hours today, probably in the early afternoon.
***
The little girl had gotten a phone call, all of a sudden, about an hour ago, to the sound of some awful reggae music, which startled A-Li, almost making her squeal. The damned brat just grinned at her, and picked up immediately.
Of course, she could not know who the child was talking to, as she was only answering with lazy "Yeah."-s, but she finished the call with a drawled out "Alright, Boss.", and it made A-Li's blood rush badly.
HOW DARED HE!!!
How dared he call this snotty kid, and not her?!
Her phone had stayed absolutely dead silent all morning, just to spite her, and she hated it right now. She also hated the way the brat now livened up, and got to typing quick messages in some chat or other, which made her pout.
