Chapter 366 - Going Against Each Other
Beauty and the Bodyguard
Zhaoming turned to look at his father, only to find that he found it odd as well- heâd informed his Xiaoboâs father already, did Xiaobo miss the news?
âXiaobo, didnât your father tell you? The resortâs packed, we didnât arrange a room for you and your friends!â Zhaoming said innocently. âHow âbout this, you and your friends can live in the motel over there. Itâs thirty, forty kuai a night, you guys handle it first and tell me how much it was tomorrow.â
âOh, no need to trouble you, Zhaoming, weâve booked a room in here already.â Xiaobo said faintly. âWe donât need your arrangements.â
âHm? What?â Zhaoming froze. âYou booked a room here? Impossible! I booked all of the business rooms here already! Whatâre you trying to pull?!â
âIâm not trying to pull anything.â Xiaobo shrugged, delighted at Zhaoming going crazy.
âXiaobo, I know how you donât wanna lose face in front of your friends, I really do understand!â Zhaoming made it sound genuine, but also loud at the same time so Xiaoboâs friends in the van could hear. âBut you need to understand that the people attending my grandpaâs birthday feast are all people of very high positions, and even they donât get rooms! Thereâs no way we can arrange any for your friends! Also, youâre not grandpaâs direct grandson, too- we really canât include you when managing those rooms!â
âYou donât have to worry.â Xiaobo wasnât the slightest bit frustrated. âThe ones open for business may all be booked, but not the ones not open for business, right? Thatâs what we booked.â
With that, Xiaobo got the rail pulled up and got back in the car, not paying Zhaoming anymore attention.
âYouâ¦â¦â Zhaoming was almost choking with rage- did Xiaobo know a worker in here? Did he get himself an employeeâs room or something?! It was so frustrating just to let him trot in like this!
âForget it, Zhaoming!â Zhaomingâs father said with a wave of his hand. He looked down on his nephewâs family as well, but he was still an elder- he wouldnât want to go overboard.
âWhat the hell! Think youâre some big shot!â Zhaoming yelled out, unable to contain himself. âYou call that a car?! Arenât you ashamed of yourself?!â
âAlright, Zhaoming, your grandfather cares about his reputation- donât embarrass yourself in front of outsiders. Heâs a long-distance relative anyway, just let him do what he wants if he wants to show off. It doesnât get him any substantial benefits or anything.â Kang Cuipu shook his head before turning to an Audi with a smile. âMister Wang, you cameâ¦â
Lin Yi contacted Uncle Tian after entering the resort- he had to persuade him into not coming down to greet him personally and send someone he trusted instead.
Although, even the trusted person didnât know Lin Yiâs real identity.
Lin Yi wanted to keep a low-profile, after all- if people knew about his connection with the boss itâd attract the Kangsâ attentionâ¦
He was here with Xiaobo as a bystander and observer in the first place- the point was to show Fen exactly what kind of an ugly person Zhaoming was, thus removing him from her memory!
If Lin Yi were to expose his connection with Uncle Tian, then Zhaoming might actually have a change of attitude and be all respectful towards him all of a sudden- Fen wouldnât be able to see his true face if that happened.
âMaster Lin, nice to meet you! Mister Tian sent me.â A thirty year old man walked over to Lin Yiâs car with quick steps, not a single trace of disdain in his eyes towards the run-down van Lin Yi was driving, clear of suspicion and full of respect. âIâm Li Yixun- you can call me Li, Master Lin.â
Uncle Tian mustâve told him the licence plate number for him to be able to confirm Lin Yiâs identity so quickly.
âAh, just take us to the villa please, Mister Li.â Lin Yi said politely.
âPlease come with me, Master Lin.â Yixun nodded. âShould I get in your car, or will you and your friends come in mine?â
Yixun pointed at an SUV not far away as he spoke.
âYou get on, Mister Li- Iâll drive.â Lin Yi said.
Yixun left it at that and got in Lin Yiâs van. He gave him directions and got them to a stand-alone villa by the sea- it should be the villa with the best view here.
There was a sign on the villaâs door- âNot for businessâ.
âMaster Lin, the preparations have been made- you can move in right away!â Yixun said as he handed Lin Yi his name card. âYou can contact me if anything comes up, Master Lin!â
âAlright, thanks.â Lin Yi put the name card away.
Yixun didnât have much to say- he nodded and left. There was demand for people like him, people who worked without asking or saying too much.
âMaster Lin? Boss, youâre not really one of those big young masters from a rich family, are you? Didnât you say you have a rich relative?â Xiaobo was clearly excited from how Yixun had been addressing Lin Yi. âBoss, tell me honestly! Are you a legendary young master?!â
âDo I look like one?â Lin Yi smiled bitterly. âThat brother of yours is what you call a young master, okayâ¦â
âHeh⦠Eh? Fen?â Xiaobo was about to prod Lin Yi on when he saw Fenâs tear-streaked face- he jumped, completely startled. âFen, donât cry! Whatâs wrong?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Lin Yi and Tang Yin heard the sobbing as well, turning around to see tear stains on Fenâs faceâ¦
But both Lin Yi and Tang Yin didnât know what to say- this was within expectations.
Fen meeting Zhaoming again, after all, was enough to affect her fragile and broken heart, even if sheâd only seen him from a distanceâ¦
There was only Xiaobo who could be there for her right now- Lin Yi and Tang Yin didnât need to say anything at all.
âXiaobo, you wanna help Fen inside and talk to her first?â Lin Yi suggested.
âOkayâ¦â Xiaobo nodded and quickly went in with Fen in his armsâ¦
âLetâs wait outside a bitâ¦â Lin Yi sighed and parked the van outside the villa, shutting the engine down.
âFen sure has it roughâ¦â Tang Yin sighed as well, shaking her head as she looked at Fen and Xiaobo walking away. âHope she gets over it after all thisâ¦â
