Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 369 - Why's She Here?

"Yeah…" Fen when conscious had long since realized what Zhaoming thought of her- she was just an old plaything of his, there was no way he'd come back to her!

Zhaoming had moved from Songshan to Donghai, but the two cities weren't far apart- the guy would've came back to visit her a long time ago if he actually had the heart to.

Fen toughing it out and confronting Zhaoming one last time was for the sake of making her own subconscious understand as well- Zhaoming wasn't her lover, he was an asshole!

Lin Yi parked the car and got out along with Xiaobo, Tang Yin, and Fen.

"You four, what are you here to do!" Guard A pointed furiously.

"We're here to attend the birthday feast." Xiaobo suppressed his anger and looked at the three guards- Lin Yi's reminder told him that these three had been sent by Zhaoming himself.

Fen held Xiaobo's hand tightly, her eyes looking away from Zhaoming's direction…

"Birthday feast? Where's the invitation card, let me see it." Guard B said.

"Why would I have an invitation card for my second grandpa's birthday feast??" Xiaobo frowned.

"Your second grandpa? Who's your second grandpa? You're all conmen, aren't you!" The security captain said, full of confidence.

"My second grandpa is Miracle Doctor Kang!" Xiaobo was getting impatient. "You guys are just obstructing us on purpose!"

"Obstructing you?! What're you talking about?" Xiaobo hitting the mark angered the captain. "Look at yourselves, wearing thirty kuai rags! Who'd believe that Miracle Doctor Kang's your second grandpa? You're probably all liars, aren't you, here to get free food!"

"Who are you calling a liar?!" Xiaobo was getting worked up.

Lin Yi tugged at Xiaobo to calm him down. He turned to the guard captain and spoke faintly. "What's your name?"

"Why the fuck should I tell you my name? Listen here, you liars better leave fast or I'll call the cops!" The captain smiled coldly, ignoring Lin Yi's question.

"Looks like I'll have to give Li Yixun a call- what's wrong with his men, pushing guests out?" Lin Yi shook his head and started looking for the name card. "Hm… Where's that name card… Oh, here it is."

Lin Yi throwing Li Yixun's name and name card out froze the captain- of course he knew who Li Yixun was, that was the boss' most trusted man! He was the one in charge whenever Mister Tian wasn't around, a direct representative! Even a big security manager was nothing in front of Yixun, let alone a small security captain like him!

He'd helped Zhaoming cause some trouble for Lin Yi simply because of money, but it wasn't that simple with Lin Yi!

Displeasing Zhaoming would result in no money, but pissing Lin Yi off would mean losing his job!!

"Bro… Bro, don't… I was ignorant, please don't make that phone call…" The captain wanted to cry- so the one driving this van was the real big shot! Even if his association with Yixun was but a normal friendship, Yixun wouldn't risk that with Lin Yi for the sake of some small security captain!

To Yixun, he was an extra with no weight to his name- Yixun wouldn't have trouble finding a replacement for this position the next day!

Zhaoming, on the other hand, wasn't paying attention to Lin Yi's conversation with the captain- he was looking at the girl standing beside Zhaoming, Fen!

"Master Kang, that girl beside your idiot cousin- why does she look like that girl you threw away?" Xiaozhang had a surprised look on his face as he pointed at Fen.

"Huh? Dude, I think it really is that bitch Lan Fen!" Zhaoming's eyes were full of disbelief as well. "Didn't she get hit by a car? Why's she still alive?"

"I don't know! I gave that driver five hundred thousand to make sure she died, how come she's still here!" Xiaozhang was shocked. "What a waste of money!"

"Xiaozhang, don't bring that up!" Zhaoming glared. How could the guy just talk about hiring someone to commit murder so casually? Fortunately for him all three of them had committed crimes before.

And as for Fen's incident, both Zhu Xiaozhang and Wang Shubin had been involved.

"Hehe, it's just us three here…" Xiaozhang realized his mistake as well- this wasn't something to joke about, they could go to jail for it!

But Fen's family didn't have any power at all- they were poor as shit, and wouldn't be able to do anything about it even if they did hear about this anyway.

"Why did Fen come? Doesn't she know I'm Kang Xiaobo's cousin?" Zhaoming was perplexed at Fen's purpose to visit- she wouldn't be here to humiliate herself if she'd known that!

It never crossed his mind that Fen was here to cause trouble and get some compensation benefits- that was impossible. He would never give her anything, and she wasn't stupid enough to not know that- she wouldn't have come here just to embarrass herself.

"We were thinking of something to humiliate them with, right? There's our ticket! Let's go!" Xiaozhang suggested with a grin.

"Let's go see what this girl wants!" Zhaoming was getting really curious as well.

"You guys get out of the way!" Xiaozhang waved a hand at the security captain, dismissing them- they hadn't paid attention to what had happened between Lin Yi and the captain, and assumed that the group had received quite the humiliation already.

"Yes… Yes…" The captain had been thinking of a way to get himself out of this mess- fortunately Xiaozhang had provided that opportunity at just the right time.

He left with Guard A and B- familial warfare wasn't something outsiders could just butt in on. Kang Xiaobo's side looked very weak, but they were associated with Li Yixun! Just that alone made the captain retreat. 

He shouldn't have involved himself for a couple hundred kuai at all.

"Fen, you bitch! You still remember Master Kang? Why are you here!" Xiaozhang walked over cockily, a finger pointing at Fen.

Chapter 370 - A Slap

Be it Kang Zhaoming, Zhu Xiaozhang, or Wang Shubin- all of them thought that Fen had come here by some sort of mistake, that she didn't know Zhaoming would be here.

The most surprising of all- Fen seemed to be Xiaobo's girlfriend right now!

Fen's whole body trembled in anger- she held on to Xiaobo's hand tightly, her eyes filled with hostility and spirit.

Zhu Xiaozhang- Fen knew him, he was one of Zhaoming's lackeys. He'd always be walking behind her when she was still with Zhaoming, calling her sis-in-law and talking sweetly to her… Yet here he was, calling her a bitch!

"I don't know you- who are you?" Fen understood Zhaoming's intentions right away after what Xiaozhang said- she now had absolutely no feelings left for Zhaoming!

Even if Zhaoming had just one slight shred of care for their relationship, he wouldn't have let Xiaozhang talk like that- his face as Xiaozhang spoke was concrete testament that Zhaoming never liked her in the first place- he'd just been playing with her feelings! 

It hurt, but she'd completely realized the situation- he was no lover of hers. He was a demon.

She never believed those rumors about Zhaoming changing his girls like he changed his clothes, but that expression on his face didn't give her a choice anymore.

"Hoh? You trying to look high-class by denying everything that happened?" Xiaozhang turned to Xiaobo. "Kid, she's tricked you, hasn't she? Don't you know she's second-hand? Do you really want to take home something that our Master Kang's grown tired of playing with?"

"That's right, Xiaobo- this is a woman I've finished with, why would you pick her up? It'd be really embarrassing if uncle finds out!" Zhaoming put on a kind look as he walked over. "Don't be fooled by that pure look on her face, don't get caught in her net!"

"Kang Zhaoming, you shameless bastard!!" Fen pointed a finger at Zhaoming, absolutely frustrated- she never expected for the guy to be this shameless! He was shaming her even after dumping her!

"Shameless? Me? I disagree." Zhaoming shrugged. "Some sluts just like to throw themselves at someone to be played with, how's the blame on me? I'm just reminding my brother to be careful of sluts like that."

"Enough!" Xiaobo yelled- Fen was on the verge of tears already! "Kang Zhaoming, you're the fucking worst! How could you talk about Fen like that, you were her first love! She gave you her love, everything, and look at what the hell you're talking about! Have some shame!"

"Hoh? So you're not even calling me cousin or bro anymore? For that slut?" Zhaoming smiled coldly. "First love? So what, it's her fault for jumping in herself like an idiot, of course I'd dump her after getting bored. Should I have continued feeding her? My family's rich but if I keep every one of the hundred girls I dump to feed, I'll go bankrupt!"

Fen couldn't keep her tears back anymore- Zhaoming was too much, how could he say something like that? 

The last sliver of hope had been snuffed out. Even if he'd told her that he didn't like her anymore, that they should break up, it'd still be acceptable… but…

He called her an idiot for doing everything she did for him! The sadness overwhelmed Fen that instant.

"What's wrong with you, why would you talk like that? I knew you were a problem, I should've pulled you two apart from the start!" Tang Yin was very angry herself. "You have no morals!"

"Hoh? Who's this, isn't this Tang Yin?! It's been a couple of years, you've gotten even prettier! What's this, your boyfriend? Wow…" Zhaoming looked at Lin Yi, a hint of jealousy flashing past his eyes. He'd went after Fen as an alternative after failing to get Tang Yin- his failure was something he'd always been salty about. "Look at that car he's driving! You sure got downgraded, Tang Yin. I didn't expect you to have such bad taste."

"That's right, why don't you come with Master Kang? He'll get you a two hundred thousand car tomorrow!" Xiaozhang jumped out and started making promises. "There's no way you'll have a future with that fuckface!"

Lin Yi didn't want to involve himself with Xiaobo's family affairs- it was his business, after all, and letting him handle it himself was the best route of action. Lin Yi was but a bystander who made sure Fen's sickness didn't act up.

But that Zhu Xiaozhang was churning him into the problem and stepping onto his face! 'fuckface'? Lin Yi wouldn't be Lin Yi anymore if he took shit like that to his face.

A crisp slap went across Xiaozhang's cheek, flipping him to the ground the next instant.

Xiaozhang cried out in a howl and tumbled on the ground after three spins before spitting two bloody teeth out, his cheek all swollen up like a dumpling.

"Security! Security! Take them!" Xiaozhang called out after snapping back to his senses- Lin Yi actually hit him!

The guard captain was currently far away, enjoying the drama between the two Kang parties when Lin Yi slapped Xiaozhang across the face! The problem here was Xiaozhang's cries for security…

The captain was in a difficult position as he regretted not moving farther away from the chaos. He was at an impasse- him butting in would piss Lin Yi off, and he still didn't know what kind of relationship he had with Li Yixun… It wouldn't end well, that was for sure.

Yet he couldn't just ignore Zhu Xiaozhang… He'd just taken a couple of hundred kuai from him, so just breaking with them now wouldn't be right at all!

Xiaozhang was looking right at them, too! They were the resort's security, there was no way they could just ignore this.

Just when the captain was pondering his next action, another team of security came over- the leader was a fat captain. "Xiaozhang Bro, what's wrong?"

The fat man was Zhong Dingwei, a security captain in charge of the lounge. He'd received a two thousand kuai red packet from the Kang family earlier, and served them the best he could.

The first security guard breathed out in relief as Dingwei came into the scene- he was actually pretty pleased with how things were turning out! He was never on good terms with that Dingwei… It'd be pretty entertaining to see how Dingwei's asskissing would turn out.
