Beauty and the Bodyguard

chapter-353
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.
