Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 353 - The Miss Cares

School ended, and Lin Yi drove Tang Yin to the hospital before getting back to the villa. Jianwen was waiting outside in his car already.

Lin Yi parked in front of the villa and went to greet Mengyao for a bit, since this was something Mengyao had allowed yesterday.

She called out suddenly as Lin Yi was about to leave through the door. "Don't drink too much! And also, don't go to those kinda places."

"Ah?" Lin Yi blinked- was this Chu Mengyao, caring? It sounded a little like an order, but Lin Yi could feel some emotions coming from those words.

"It's nothing. Do what you want." Mengyao turned away from Lin Yi's stunned look- She had some idea what Jianwen was up to- she rarely joined events for rich kids like herself, but had an understanding what they were like, especially with a little spy like Yushu around. She wasn't oblivious to the stuff Jianwen and his buddies did.

It was why Mengyao never had any romantic feelings for Jianwen- why would she ever go out with a man who played around with girls all the time?

"Ah… Don't worry, I'm actually a good kid you know?" Lin Yi smiled before walking out the door.

"Remember to teach them a lesson, Shield Bro! I'll be cheering for you, so remember to mess them up!" Yushu swung her fist.

"I'll try." Lin Yi nodded- he was planning on teaching that irritating An Jianwen a lesson too; him coming over to bother him again wasn't something Lin Yi looked forward to.

Yushu waited until Lin Yi left before turning to Mengyao. "Yao Yao, let me tell you a huge secret!"

"Oh? What did you learn?" Mengyao had sent Yushu out for spy work again earlier- Lin Yi may be good enough to notice her, but that wasn't the same with Jianwen. Yushu had heard everything.

"Jianwen Bro told Taizao Bro that they're gonna order a prostitute for Shield Bro and take a video of it! He said that you'll be able to break up with him after he sends the video to your dad and destroys his reputation!" Yushu said.

(prostitute has another name in Chinese: 'chicken'. That's what Yushu uses here, and Mengyao got confused. Bonus fact: 'duck' is used for gigolos.)

"Prostitute?" Mengyao paused before understanding what Yushu was saying. Her face reddened. "Shu, don't use words like that! It's called a sex worker."

"Oh, sex worker. They're gonna get a sex worker for Lin Yi!" Yushu nodded. "You think we should warn him, Yao Yao?"

"No! If he falls for something like that then he's a huge pervert! Dad can fire him if that happens." Mengyao hmphed, finding Jianwen quite distasteful. She wondered if Yushu's brother used to be the same.

Lin Yi walked out the villa and saw a Porsche 911 behind Jianwen's Ferrari- Su Taizao was standing next to it.

Lin Yi didn't like Taizao a lot- the guy was pretty noisy that day at the restaurant, and Lin Yi found it a bit disgusting. The Taizao now, however, had a wide smile on his face as he greeted Lin Yi. "Mister Lin Yi, good to see you! I still have to thank you for what you did for An Bro that other day."

Lin Yi waved a hand, not paying him any attention. Jianwen stepped up from behind him. "Little Bro Lin! I didn't know you were in the same class as Mengyao!"

Jianwen had done his research- Lin Yi was Mengyao's classmate, younger than him. Calling him little bro would feel more intimate.

"Yeah, I guess…" Lin Yi nodded faintly. "Aren't we going for dinner?"

"That's right, we're going now! I've booked a room in the Starlight Hotel, let's go." Jianwen made sure to introduce the place in case Lin Yi didn't know. "Starlight Hotel is one of the most luxurious hotels in the city- we frequented the place quite a bit in the past."

"There's special service, too!" Taizao walked up and patted Lin Yi's shoulder, as if telling him that they were bros, and that there was nothing to be embarrassed about.

"Is that so? I'll make sure to enjoy myself, then!" Lin Yi nodded, an excited look on his face but a cold chuckle inside. So Mengyao had guessed it right- these two were out to get him!

Jianwen breathed out in relief after seeing Lin Yi's enthusiasm. Taizao was feeling happy as well.

Things were easy now that Lin Yi had said yes- there was plenty of stuff planned for the night, after all! Lin Yi would have quite the night of his life.

Although, he'd have to pay the price after that night… Heh heh heh…

"Let's go, then! My car?" Jianwen pointed at his Ferrari.

"Nah, I'll drive my own." Lin Yi pointed at the old van behind him.

"Ah……" Jianwen wasn't expecting Lin Yi to choose an old van over a sports car, but didn't say anything. "Sure, driving your own car's good."

Jianwen and Taizao got on their cars and headed for Starlight Hotel, with LIn Yi following behind them.

The hotel was a top-tier hotel in Songshan- buffets, KTVs, nightclubs… just their parking lot alone was the size of a field.

Jianwen and Taizao drove inside to park, but Lin Yi was stopped by a security guard.

"Hey! Delivery cars go through the back!" The guard glared. "Don't you know the rules? Are you new?"

"Delivery?" Lin Yi blinked and shook his head. "I'm here for dinner."

"Dinner?" The guard started laughing upon hearing the reply. "Dinner? In that van? Do you know how much the food here costs? One meal's enough for that old van of yours! Alright, stop messing around. Go through the back!"

"I'm here to have dinner, alright?" Lin Yi didn't want to stoop down to this asshole's level. "I don't care how expensive the food here is, someone's treating me."

"Yeah right, who'd treat a guy like you? Alright, scram! I've seen tons of people like you, you just wanna go steal stuff in the parking lot, right?" The guard looked at Lin Yi with disdain. "Only retards would treat you!"

The man was just a security guard, but he was a security guard at the Starlight Hotel- he couldn't help but feel superior to the common man.

Chapter 354 - Jianwen's Plot

After all, the people he interacted with every day were very rich- it made him feel like he was on a different level from the poor!

The guard would then bow and smile at the big cars and put on airs at the cheap ones.

"Who the fuck are you calling retarded?" Taizao slapped the guard right across the face- he'd finished parking with Jianwen only to see that Lin Yi wasn't there- they went searching for him at the gate and heard the guard call An Bro and him retards!!

"I… I…" The guard didn't know why Taizao hit him, but the guy was covered in brands! He'd come from inside the parking lot, too, evidently a guest here! There was no way he dared piss someone like that off. "But I wasn't talking about you……"

"Still fucking lying?" Taizao sent another slap across the guard's face. "I'm treating him to dinner and you called me a retard, you think I didn't hear that?"

"Ah?" The guard froze- the van guy really did have someone treating him!

Jianwen had walked over as well, a frown on his face. "Taizao, what's wrong?"

"This damned security guard called us retards!" Taizao was very pissed indeed- all the guards and managers of every establishment in Songshan once knew who the four Young Masters were!

Of course he'd be pissed when a guard insulted him without even knowing who he was!

"Forget it." Jianwen waved a hand faintly. He was pretty pissed himself, but there were more important things than this security guard. "Let's go, we're better than him."

The guard started bowing and saying thanks, but turned around to glare at Lin Yi angrily.

He didn't think Lin Yi was rich- he was a poor student, as far as he could tell. That van was probably third-hand or something, too! He couldn't vent his anger on Taizao and Jianwen, but there was still Lin Yi… He planned to go mess with his tires later to make up for his bad luck. He wouldn't know who was responsible anyway, with how big the parking lot was…

Lin Yi's keen senses, naturally, picked up on that hostility. He didn't mind, but warned the guard faintly anyway. "You remember to watch my car! I'll hold you responsible if I see even a scratch on it."

"Ah……" The guard smiled bitterly- Lin Yi had seen through him! There wasn't anything he could do at this point. 

The guard never knew that he'd be lying on the ground if Lin Yi even bothered with him.

Jianwen brought Lin YI to a private room on the fourth floor, where the rooms were most luxurious. Above the fourth floor was the entertainment area.

It was a wide room, with a marvelous view of the night cityscape outside. 

The average man would never be able to afford a room like this.

"Bro, please, sit!" Jianwen, however, had long since grown accustomed to scenery like that. He put his phone on the table and seated himself. "... It's been a while, hasn't it? It's gotta be three years since we last came here."

"Yeah, An Bro. We were such big shots then, us Songshan Young Masters… But now we have to bullied by even security guards." Taizao gritted through his teeth.

"Haha, little bro Lin's clothes are a bit plain, that's all- his car's a bit special too, catching that arrogant guard's eye and everything." Jianwen smiled, making sure to mock Lin Yi a little.

Lin Yi, naturally, understood that Jianwen was mocking him for being poor and that he shouldn't even be with Mengyao.

He didn't mind. He was here today for the miss, and also to teach these two a lesson for Yushu's sake. Anything else didn't really matter.

Moreover, Lin Yi had put on beggar's clothing when on a mission before, too- there was no way something like what the guard said to him would bother him at all.

"Haha, that's true." Taizao caught on to Jianwen's intentions. "Little bro Lin, you gotta get Yao Yao to buy you some better clothes! It'll be a bit embarrassing if you go out in those clothes otherwise."

"Bought them, just not wearing them." Lin Yi smiled faintly. Mengyao did buy him clothes- he just wore the school uniform to school instead of his casual clothes.

"Taizao, that's called laying low! What's that saying again? Tiger in pig's skin!" Jianwen explained with a smile.

"Right, right! Tiger in pig's skin!" Taizao nodded.

The two were being sarcastic- Lin Yi was no tiger.

Lin Yi didn't say anything to that- he'd make them cry in just a bit.

Jianwen didn't want to go overboard with the mocking- Lin Yi might get angry and leave. He called for the waiter.

Everything had been pre-ordered before he'd even left Mengyao's villa- the waiter started laying out dish by dish.

Jianwen sneaked his phone out and turned on the camera, aiming it at Lin Yi- he'd left it on the table on purpose, all for the sake of filming the guy.

Jianwen assumed that Lin Yi had never had anything this luxurious for dinner before- it'd be a nice bonus if he gulped the food down like a pig.

That, however, was only secondary- the fun was soon to come!

"Bro, eat up! No need for courtesies or anything, it's just us three!" Jianwen raised his glass. "Here, I'll stop with all the thanks and give a toast for saving my life!"

"It's nothing, Yao Yao asked me to." Lin Yi raised his glass and took a sip before putting it back down. He picked his chopsticks up and started eating.

Jianwen was a bit disappointed at how normal Lin Yi was eating, but remembering the next event cheered him up. "Bro, how 'bout some girls to spice things up? It gets dry with just us three men in here!"
