Chapter 409 - Ill Go Visit
Beauty and the Bodyguard
Pinliang blamed himself in silence- he hadnât brought that up to Xiaoxiao because it was just too humiliating! Pinliang, Naipao, and himself amounted to three people, and still they got wrecked by one man! Heâd never let out embarrassing information like that if he had a choice!
But that was now a decision he regretted- if he had known this was how itâd end then heâd inform Xiaoxiao no matter how humiliating itâd be! He was screwed now, if Xiaoxiao were to learn the truth itâd be an absolutely horrid end for him.
âBoss Lin⦠You wouldnât mess with us like that rightâ¦â Pinliangâs face was bitter as he begged. Heâd rather get a beating by Lin Yi as an alternative!
âTwo choices for you. The first is that you kneel in the toilet and leave after ten minutes. That, or I tell Feng Xiaoxiao the truth.â Lin Yi said.
âAlright, Iâll kneel!â As disgusted at the pee-stained toilet floor Pinliang was, heâd prefer kneeling on it rather than have Lin Yi tell Xiaoxiao the truth. Itâd be much more pleasant than getting dealt with by Xiaoxiao.
âAlright, Iâm going.â Lin Yi wasnât in the mood to be paying these two idiots any more attention, but he had to give them punishment once in a while. Whether they actually kneeled or not would have to depend on how aware of their situation they were. âYou can try faking it, but remember I might be always with you, watching.â
âDonât worry, Boss Lin!â Pinliang said as his hair stood up. Heâd wanted to stroll off after Lin Yi left, but that reminder from him horrified Pinliang too much.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Thinking about it, Lin Yi did really seem like he was always with Pinliang- every time he had something pleasing happen to him Lin Yi had to be involved in messing that up⦠Pinliang didnât know what to say to this fate. Was Lin Yi someone god just decided to throw at him and ruin everything? âCan Xiaofu and I take turns kneeling? We need someone to keep watchâ¦â
âSure, as long as you two kneel for ten minutes each.â Lin Yi turned and left with that. Xiaobo had taken the time for lunch to go visit Fen, who had put her past behind her already. She was a lot more open now, and it seemed like Xiaobo had made his decision about steadily getting busy with his relationship with Fen.
Lin Yi figured that heâd went to Fen to talk about college plans, and decided not to interrupt him. He dialed Tang Yin instead, only to find out that she wasnât at school, unexpectedly. She was taking care of and having lunch with her father at the hospital.
Mrs. Tang, on the other hand, had continued the food stall business behind school, and the task of getting food to Mr. Tang fell onto Tang Yinâs shoulders, food that had been prepared along with the food Mrs. Tang would use for selling after setting her stall up at school.
âWhy didnât you mention that? I couldâve just driven you over.â Lin Yi frowned. Tang Yin going to the hospital on a public bus took quite a bit of time.
âI was afraid you were busy, didnât want to disturb youâ¦â Tang Yin was evidently happy at what Lin Yi said to her. âI thought you were driving Xiaobo to go find Fenâ¦â
âWhy would I do that if he visits Fen, heâs not even my wife.â Lin Yi was speechless.
âCome onâ¦â¦â Tang Yin could hear the implication from that sentence- did that mean that Lin Yi would drive him if he were his wife? So what did it mean when he offered to drive her, was she his wife??
âHaha, Iâll go get you. Iâll take a look at how Uncle Tangâs doing, too.â Lin Yi didnât have much to do at school- thereâd be trouble for him when Xiaoxiao returns, as well. Might as well get out of here first.
âYeah, Iâll wait for you in the hospital room.â Tang Yin wanted to reject Lin Yi, since it was a busy period at lunchtime, and itâd waste Lin Yiâs time to be running around like that, but she decided to accept his offer when he mentioned taking a look at her fatherâs condition.
âSee you later then.â Lin Yi hung up and walked to the food stall behind the school to get his car.
With a sweet smile on her face, Tang Yin put the phone away and turned around to see her father smiling at her, much to her embarrassment.
Mr. and Mrs. Tang had been accepting of Lin Yiâs forceful involvement with the Kangs long ago- after all, the only reason Tang Ju could undergo this operation in the first place was thanks to Lin Yi! Heâd still be lying in bed at home if it werenât for Lin Yiâs funding.
âWas that Lin Yi?â He asked.
âYeah⦠He said heâs coming to see how youâre doingâ¦â Tang Yin had always known about Lin Yiâs medical abilities, but sheâd assumed that it was just at the amateur level. Yet, that scene from yesterday, with Fatty Laiâs crying and puffing on the ground, Tianyi trying to get on Lin Yiâs good side, and Xueminâs respect for him shockingly told Tang Yin that it wasnât the case.
Sheâd never been able to calm her excited emotions down even until she reached the hospital.
It seemed that sheâd still been underestimating Lin Yi⦠He wasnât what she thought him to be, a guy who used his familyâs wealth to stomp around like a rich kid tyrant. Lin Yiâs cockiness was all due to his own abilities alone!
Why else would he have so many peopleâs respect and acknowledgement, if that werenât the case? She didnât know about Fatty Lai, and he mightâve even been acting on heated impulse for all she knew, but what about Liu Tianyi and Guan Xuemin? They obviously wouldn't be acting impulsively.
It seemed like Lin Yi wasnât just someone who was good at medicine as an amateur- he had to be shockingly extraordinary! Tang Yinâs newfound pride for Lin Yi found itself coupled with intimidation as her fragile, young girlâs heart contemplated.
Lin Yi was a model of excellence- was she good enough to be with him? What if he didnât want her anymore? Her family wasnât rich, and she couldnât help him in anything⦠The only thing she really had going for her was just her above-average prettinessâ¦
But there were plenty of pretty girls, so why did Lin Yi choose her? Tang Yin didnât want to think about this sort of stuff, since the two were still young and very far off from actually getting married, but Tang Yin couldnât help but make these considerations in the face of Lin Yiâs brillianceâ¦
Lin Yi walked over to the food street behind the school- he had his car parked in a special parking spot that the street vendors left for him daily. After all, he was a young master they wouldnât dare piss off.
Mrs. Tangâs business, on the other hand, was bursting with prosperity- no one dared get jealous of her anymore, since itâd only get them killed. This included the instigator Zhang Biaoqian, who now treated Mrs. Tang with kindness. He didnât take Mrs. Tangâs spot in the few days she was gone, too, welcoming her back with passion and greetings the moment she returned, also asking about what sheâd been up to the last couple days.
As Mrs. Tang was basked in this kindness and respect she found herself to be more and more thankful towards Lin Yi- House Tang was now getting back up on its feet, and she believed that itâd only get better! Her business was prospering, her man had undergone the procedure⦠It wouldnât take long before he got to stand up again! He wouldnât be able to walk normally, but just a bit of a limp was fine! He could come help her with the food stall, tooâ¦
A smile formed on Mrs. Tangâs face as she contemplated the prospects of hopeful happiness. She felt a couple years younger, and that was even reflected on the eyes of the other male vendors!
One could tell what sort of beauty Mrs. Tang used to have just by looking at her daughter- like mother like daughter, after all.
Yet no one dared to get flirty with Mrs. Tang⦠Everyone knew about the tyrannical young master she had for a son-in-law.
