Beauty and the Bodyguard

Is there or not?

“Oldest Brother just broke through to the Earth class this past year, he is training to solidify his foundation. He still needs to establish his foothold in this class and this is only possible when he reaches the middle phase. That is when we will have enough foothold for bragging rights. By asking our big brother, it will undoubtedly inconvenience him!” Yu Bifu shook his head. “Oh right Bide, how is your training going?”

“Same old, same old. I’m stuck in the early phase of Mystic class. I had already put my hopes on Yukun, but who would’ve expected this disaster!” Yu Bide sadly shook his head.

“Seems like in House Yu, in our generation, only Big Brother can breakthrough the limits…” Yu Bifu sighed, “I don’t think that I can ever breakthrough into the Earth Class within my lifespan…”

“Second Brother, then your intention with Yukun…” Yu Bide hesitated as he looked at Yu Bifu.

“Well you can be rest assured, Yukun is my nephew. I have sent someone to investigate already. The moment any helpful clues show up, I will let you know too!” Yu Bifu said.

“It seems like our only option is to wait…” Yu Bifu nodded in agreement.

Yu Bifu left with his son, Yu Shuixing. It was only when they were quite a distance away when Yu Shuixing spoke up, “Father, it is as I had said before. Yukun wasn’t capable enough. I should’ve been the one who went. Look at him now! He’s useless. On second thought it is better for me. Now, no one in my generation can surpass me!”

“What the fuck are you saying? That is your cousin laying in there. How is this better?” Yu Bifu was getting angry at this nonsense, “If there were more strong fighters in our household, wouldn’t it be the more the merrier?”

“Sorry…” Yu Shuixing said in an unapologetic tone, “He was always so weak, if I went then it would not have come to this predicament! To be able to best Yukun, but not lethally killing him, the opponent must have been at the peak of late phase Golden class. Since I’m already at the peak of early phase Mystic class, I could walk as if I owned the streets of the mortal world.

“Son, you need to understand this saying, ‘there will always be someone better than you!” Yu Bifu stared at his conceited son.

“I know that! Except that, those powerful people better than me rarely come out to the mortal world in the first place!” Yu Shuixing didn’t listen at all to his father’s warning. He was a candidate for becoming the next leader of the House Yu. This just empowered his arrogant and cocky attitude. It was a fact that the leaders of other families did not even have the same combat ability as he did, so how could he not show off?

***

As the shanty town was being demolished, Lin Yi didn’t want to interfere. However, his presence was enough of a deterrent that Li Cihua felt obligated to pay top tier rates for compensation. Even if Li Cihua didn’t want to do so, he was afraid of Lin Yi would cause a scene while using anything as an excuse.

Fen’s family was able to get the demolition compensation of a hundred and eighty thousand yuan. It was definitely a higher amount since it covered all the appliances and furniture lost.

With the finances secured, Fen’s mother was smiling from the bottom of her heart. With the total sum at six hundred and eighty thousand, they could buy a new house easily. The more she thought about it, the faster she wanted to get it done.

“Kangbo, do you think you can talk to Lin Yi on our behalf? To help us look for houses?” Fen’s mother asked. She already treated Kangbo like a son-in-law, so she wasn’t shy in asking for favors. “I heard that he personally knows some real estate developers, so is it possible to also get discounts?”

“I can ask…” Kangbo knew that it would be troublesome for Lin Yi, but since Fen’s mother asked, he couldn’t just disregard the request.

Kangbo found Lin Yi and mentioned Fen’s request. Lin Yi didn’t stop to think about what was asked and agreed to it. Seems like this was something that was also requested of him by Tang Yun.

After Lin Yi called Mrs. Tang,he then called Tang Yun. Mrs. Tang’s new house was officially hers. While it was still freshly renovated, Lin Yi wanted to check on the progress. Tang Yun heard that Lin Yi was going, so she wanted to tag along too.

Mrs. Tang also went along. If Tang Yun didn’t go with him, Lin Yi would have felt really embarrassed. It wasn’t that Lin Yi disliked Mrs. Tang, but she now had a strong personality trait that Lin Yi was just not used to.

However, Lin Yi understood her situation. Tang Yun’s father’s leg was broken. Mrs. Tang had been working hard to upkeep the family for so many years. In her heart, she had formed a deep-rooted ideal in the value of money. It was not realistic to change her thinking, and Lin Yi did not want to either.

The one Lin Yi liked was Tang Yun, not Mrs. Tang. Mrs. Tang liked money so it was easy to give her some money, which was no longer a big deal for Lin Yi.

Chu Mengyao’s Audi S5 was obviously unsuitable to fit so many people. Lin Yi asked Fatty Lai to send a car to pick up Mrs. Tang and Tang Yun, but did not expect Fatty Lai to personally to drive the car to pick up Tang Yun, and then pick up Mrs. Tang.

Lin Yi smiled bitterly, Fatty Lai’s performance was too diligent and eager. This made it difficult to ensure that some of the flaws were not seen through by the savvy Mrs. Tang.

Fen’s mother saw Fatty Lai as the boss so she seemed to be somewhat uneasy. Kang Xiaobo and Fen had seen Fatty Lai before. They were also present at their initial meeting when they witnessed Fatty Lai, who was crying at Lin Yi’s feet and so they had no fear of him.

“What kind of house do you want?” Asked Fatty Lai enthusiastically and greeted Kang Xiaobo and Fen, and then faced Fen’s mother.

“I… is there a cheaper one, the position of the apartment doesn’t matter too much to me…” Fen’s mother said with some restraint, she thought it would be easy to find a middleman to say that she wanted to buy a cheap apartments. However, she did not expect that the people in charge would come to her and still be so polite.

“This one…there is?” Fatty Lai turned his head to look at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was so angry he almost kicked Fatty Lai, “Whether there is or not, why are you looking at me?”

“Hey… how about this one?” Before, Lin Yi did not specify his intentions clearly so Fatty Lai was clueless. Fatty Lai wasn’t sure if Lin Yi was trying to help Fen’s mother. From Fatty Lai’s perspective, the house was going to be small, but to make Lin Yi not happy, was a bad idea!

Fatty Lai knew that Lin Yi is a person who didn’t like to help others very much, just like when he cried and begged, Lin Yi didn’t help. If he didn’t have perseverance, how could he have become Lin Yi’s lackey?

So now the topic of Fen’s mother’s house, Fatty Lai must first consult with Lin Yi.

Fen’s mother was stunned by Fatty Lai, “Ah? Mr. Lai, so is there… or not…”

“Maybe there is?” Tang Yun saw Fatty Lai’s appearance, and could not help but grin.

“Yes, of course there is!” Fatty Lai said. Fatty Lai jumped at the opportunity, after Tang Yun said that there was, then there must be. He laughed a little, “I was just thinking if there was any? I had too many things to do today and couldn’t remember things clearly”

“That’s great!” Fen’s mother was very happy to hear that there was such a specially discounted apartment. She asked, “Can you take me to see it?”

“Yes, let’s go, let’s go now!” Fatty Lai nodded.

Mrs. Tang looked at Fatty Li thoughtfully and looked at Lin Yi and her daughter. Seems suspicious! There must be something going on behind her back! When she was buying the house before, Mrs. Tang felt that something was off and after today, she had confirmed that feeling.
