Chapter 8: How did you fool my daddy?

“That sounded reasonable. Alright, he is allowed to stay.” Chu Meng Yao felt that Chen Yu Shu’s explanation was quite reasonable. So she agreed and asked: “Uncle Fu, did you get an insurance plan for him? In case something happens to him…?”

“Insurance??” Uncle Fu was stunned and thought, ‘There is no way someone chosen by President Chu can be so weak.’ But he still replied: “Don’t worry, everything is in order….”

At that moment, Lin Yi returned back to the car and sat back onto his seat. He looked at Chu Meng Yao and asked: “So? Are you satisfied?”

“You barely made it.” Chu Meng Yao snorted.

Lin Yi smile and sat back at the front passenger seat. He did not bother to say anything else. He knew from experience and from the web, that women are complicated creatures. So he does not see the need to argue with Chu Meng Yao.

When Chu Meng Yao saw that Lin Yi just smiled and kept silent after that, she felt her anger flare up again. She was expecting Lin Yi so say some words or gratitude. Nowadays, competition in the society is very strong. There were even cases of university graduates having to resort to scavenging to survive. She felt that, since Lin Yi found such a good job straight after he entered the city, he should be happy.

“Hey, are you not going to show some gratitude?” Asked Chu Meng Yao when she could not withstand it anymore

“Show gratitude? Gratitude for??” Asked the confused Lin Yi.

‘Didn’t I just help you kick the person, who was pestering you? Shouldn’t it be you that needs to show gratitude? Why should I be the one that needs to show gratitude?’ Thought Lin Yi.

“I…..”Chu Meng Yao is very furious. ‘Why is this person so stupid? Here I am trying to hint to him, why does he not understand it? Does he not know how to treat his employer???’

“*Giggle… What Yao Yao meant was, shouldn’t you thank her, now that she has accepted you??” Chen Yu Shu gave a sly smile as she explained what Chu Meng Yao was trying to hint?

“Xiao Shu, what are saying?? When did I accept him??” When Chu Meng Yao heard Chen Yu Shu words, she was shocked. Those words were just too suggestive. Why does it feel like she had just accepted a marriage proposal??

“Nope, what I meant was, you have accepted him as your shield!” Chen Yu Shu giggled.

“Oh, thank you.” Replied Lin Yi. Truthfully, other than the job specification, he was still quite satisfied since the pay is high.

“You are welcome….” Snapped Chu Meng Yao. She was quite disappointed with Lin Yi’s inability to access the situation. ‘How is he going to be my shield? He look so dumb.’

“Yao Yao, bye bye, see you tomorrow. You too, shield-ge (shield brother)” The car stop at a villa door step, Chen Yu Shu wave goodbye to Chu Meng Yao and winked at Lin Yi before leaving the car.

Shield-ge?? Lin Yi gave a bitter smile. What a weird name.

Chen Yu Shu lived very near Chu Meng Yao. In fact, their villas were directly beside each other. The car took a turn and arrived at Chu Meng Yao’s villa.

Under the influence of Chen Yu Shu, Chu Meng Yao decided to accept this worker. But when she saw the worker also unloaded his luggage and walk towards the villa, she exploded: “You…why are you following me?”

Lin Yi halted and turn to ask uncle Fu: “Am I not staying here?”

“In your dreams. No man has ever set foot in my villa!!” Exclaimed Chu Meng Yao with her hands on her waist.

Uncle Fu wiped off the sweat on his forehead and thought: “No man? What am I…..It may be fine if I am treated like a eunuch, but how will President Chu feel if he heard what she said?”

When Chu Meng Yao saw Uncle Fu wiping his sweat. She finally realized that she had made a terrible mistake. She immediately corrected herself: “What I mean is, no man, excluding family member, has set foot in!”

“Young mistress, President Chu has instructed that you to treat Mr. Lin as if he is your brother…..so, from today onwards, Mr. Lin is going to staying in this villa.” Explained Uncle Fu carefully, since he knew exactly how bad this lass’s temper was.

“What!” Chu Meng Yao’s eyes widen, and pointed at Lin Yi with an astonished expression: “Him? My brother? You have got to be joking with me!! Uncle Fu please bring him away. It doesn’t matter where he stays!”

“I am afraid I have no say in this. Young mistress, this was President Chu’s direct orders. Why don’t you…..” replied the trouble uncle Fu. He was only a chauffeur. Chu Peng Zhen may trust him very much, but even he will feel trouble when he is pressured on both ends.

“Fine, I will ask father personally!” Chu Meng Yao fished out a Nokia E7, the latest phone in the market. She bought it not long ago with Chen Yu Shu during the promotion.

Lin Yi was somewhat envious of Chu Meng Yao when he saw the phone. ‘Should I get one too? It would be very inconvenient when I need to make a call, if I don’t have one.’

“Daddy, this is Yao Yao!” Chu Meng Yao called out in a cute voice. Her voice made Lin Yi shiver. He never know a girl void could be so seductive.

“Yao Yao? What is the matter?” Chu Peng Zhan was currently attended a meeting at the office. But when saw that it was his daughter, decided to pick it up.

“Daddy, this is about the shield you have found for me. Did you find him at the farmer’s employment agency?” Chu Meng Yao was a little angry. This was the first time her father had treated her like this.

“Are you referring to Xiao Yi? Haha, daddy went to a lot of trouble to get him to come over. He is not only smart, but his martial arts are also very strong. Most importantly, he has a very good character!” Said Chu Peng Zhan as he laugh.

“What!!” Chu Meng Yao was now very confused. ‘What did this person feed my father to make him praise Lin Yi so much?’

When Chu Peng Zhan heard his daughter voice, he thought she was just acting spoiled. He said: “Hehe, how is it? Are you satisfied with Xiao Yi?”

“Satisfied? Why would I? Let’s not mention his outfit, but for him to be my shield, he should at least not be an eyesore.” Complaint Chu Meng Yao: “And, daddy, why did you instruct him stay with me?? I am a girl, it is not safe for me!”

“Right, this is all for your safety. How can I let my girl stay in the villa alone? Daddy is worried about you, that’s why I let Xiao Yi accompany you. You don’t have to worry, Xiao Yi will keep you safe!”

“I……He…..” When Chu Meng Yao heard what her daddy had to say, she was speechless.

Before she could continue, Chu Peng Zhan continued: “Alright, Yao Yao, daddy is in the midst of a meeting with the company’s mid-level leaders, let’s talk some other time.”

Before Chu Meng Yao could say anything else, the line was cut off. Chu Meng Yao gritted her teeth and stare sternly at Lin Yi: “Tell me, how did you fool my daddy?”
