Chapter 255 - Requesting Backup
Beauty and the Bodyguard
âBoss, I think Fen still hasnât let that Kang Zhaoming bastard go yet.â Xiaoboâs fists were clenched as he spoke- he looked very furious.
âHm? What do you mean?â Lin Yi blinked. How was Fen still thinking about that person after what heâd done to her? What the hell?
âMan, boss⦠You donât know, but Fen looks weird when I bring up Zhaoming with herâ¦â Xiaobo sighed. âIâm guessing that sheâs trying to forget Kang Zhaoming, but canât. He was her first man, so itâs normal for her to have a strong impression of him, but why doesnât she see what kind of a disgusting person that Kang Zhaoming is?â
âShe knows.â Lin Yi said. âBut itâs just as you said- itâs hard for her to forget. I think you should let her meet Kang Zhaoming one more time; she might be able to move on after that. Best way to go about it is let her see just how cruel Kang Zhaoming could be.â
âBut boss, wouldnât that be too much for Fen? Sheâs just recoveredâ¦â Xiaobo said, worried.
âMaybe, maybe not. But as long as you have me itâs fine.â Lin Yi said. âSheâll never walk out of that trauma if she doesnât confront it.â
âYouâre right!â Xiaobo nodded. âBoss, I wouldnât have to worry about Fenâs sickness acting up again with you here! But where do I find Kang Zhaoming? My second grandpaâs moved to the capital a long time ago.â
âThereâs gotta be a way, right?â Lin Yi said faintly. âXiaobo, you need to be more confident and stop thinking of yourself as Kang Zhaomingâs replacement. That way Fen might start to gradually accept you. If you just rely on you looking like your cousin to get with Fen, then thatâs gonna be pretty sad!â
âDonât worry, boss! I wonât embarrass you! Leave Fen to me!â Xiaobo announced.
âYouâve decided? To be with Fen?â Lin Yi asked.
âYes! Boss, Iâm sure of it this time!â Xiaobo nodded his head solemnly. âLast night I spent the night with Fenâ¦â¦â
âAh? For real?â Lin Yiâs eyes were wide open- he wasnât expecting his follower to be even stronger than he was! All heâd done was hold Tang Yinâs hand and touch Yushuâs boobs so far, but Xiaoboâs at that stage alreadyâ¦â¦.
âWait, boss, itâs not like that⦠I was just accompanying herâ¦â¦â Xiaobo sweated. âNothing happened between us.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
â.......â Lin Yi was speechless. âAnd then?â
âWe chatted a lot, and I know whatâs on her mind nowâ¦â¦â Xiaobo said. âBoss, youâre right- she canât move on. She knows itâs impossible at this point, but she just wonât move on unless Kang Zhaoming says it to her face!â
âSince weâre talking about him, you know that this would ruin your relationship with your cousin, right? You sure thatâs fine?â Lin Yi asked.
âI donât think of him as my cousin anymore- look at what heâs done. Kang Zhaomingâs an animal.â Xiaobo said with a cold laugh. âIâd go beat him up if it werenât for my second grandfatherâs sake.â
âYou can beat him up, but not now, at least. Youâre not there yet.â Lin Yi reminded.
âI knowâ¦â¦â Xiaobo sighed. âGuyâs the young master of the Kang house, while Iâm some poor relative of Miracle Doctor Kang.â
Zhang Naipao hadnât come to school today, and only Zhong Pinliang knew where he had went. Even Gao Xiaofu was left out on this.
Heâd only gotten a long-term sick leave from the school, and told his family ambiguously that Zhong Pinliang had something big he needed him to do⦠With that out of the way, he went up Springstar Mountain under the escort of some of Zhong Fabaiâs menâ¦
Pinliang glared at Lin Yi with toxicity. You keep showing off⦠Weâll see how you die when Zhang Naipao comes back from that mountain!!
Pinliang felt more at ease at that thought. Lin Yi was a dead man walking anyway- let him enjoy the time he had left all he wanted! With that, a shred of pity started showing on Pinliangâs gaze.
âMengyao, you have time this Saturday? My dad gave me three 3D movie tickets, wanna go?â Fabai had told him to get with Mengyao as soon as possible- itâd be bad for the Zhong family if his uncle Jin Gubang planned something else and didnât need their cooperation anymore.
âI told you not to call me Mengyao, do you not have ears?â Mengyao was pretty disgusted by how familiar with her Pinliang was acting.
Pinliang seemed oblivious to what Mengyao was thinking of him as he pulled over his chair, lining it up with Mengyaoâs to sit beside her. âHeh heh, then Iâll call you Yao Yao?â
âWhy donât you go die?â Mengyao frowned. âWhat do you want?â
âI wanna go watch a movie with you this Saturday! Itâs The Son of Heaven in 3D, an international film!â Pinliang said as he pulled three movie tickets out.
âNo time, Iâve got stuff to do Saturday.â Mengyao rejected directly- she was going bungee jumping with Yushu, after all, and even if she were to go watch a movie sheâd most definitely not watch it with Zhong Pinliang! The guy was even more irritating than Lin Yi!
Hm? Mengyao paused at the thought- hadnât she thought of Lin Yi as more irritating than Pinliang a while ago? When had she reversed their rankings? Mengyao shook her head, not sure what was going on.
âWe could go on Sundayâ¦â¦â Pinliang continued.
Mengyao couldnât take this anymore. She nudged Yushu who sat beside her, hinting her to get Lin Yi.
Yushu chuckled as she sent Lin Yi a text. âYao Yaoâs in trouble, requesting backup!â
Lin Yi wasnât sure how to react to this text, but he stood up and started walking towards Zhong PInliang anyway. He did promise Mengyao yesterday that heâd take care of Pinliang whenever the guy was being annoying, after all.
âWhere are you going, boss?â Xiaobo asked, curious- why did Lin Yi stand up all of a sudden?
âWashroom. Wanna come?â Lin Yi asked.
âYeah, wait up!â Xiaobo stood up as well, and saw Pinliang blocking their way. Heh, Zhong Pinliangâs screwed!
Lin Yi walked towards Pinliang with quick steps, and Yushu started laughing- the idiot was still harassing Yao Yao!
