Chapter 08: How did you fool my dad?

"Speaking of which, then let's stay and see," Chu Mengyao thought that what Chen Yushu said made some sense, so she agreed and turned to ask Uncle Fu, "Uncle Fu, did you buy him insurance? What if something happens to him..."

"Buy insurance?" Uncle Fu broke out in a cold sweat again, thinking to himself, how could someone Mr. Chu invited over so easily have an accident? But he still said, "Don't worry, it's all taken care of..."

At this moment, Lin Yi had already walked to the car, opened the door, and got in, looking at Chu Mengyao and saying, "How about it? Not bad, right?"

"You barely pass," Chu Mengyao huffed.

Lin Yi smiled and sat back in the passenger seat. He didn't say much, knowing from experience and the internet that women often say one thing but mean another, so Lin Yi wouldn't argue with Chu Mengyao.

Seeing that Lin Yi just smiled and didn't say anything, Chu Mengyao felt a surge of anger. She thought he would say something grateful, considering how competitive society is now, even college graduates end up cleaning sewers, and a migrant worker who just came to the city found such a good job, he should be very happy, right?

"Hey, why don't you thank me?" Chu Mengyao finally couldn't hold back and asked, somewhat angrily.

"Thank? Thank for what?" Lin Yi was a bit confused, thinking to himself, I helped you kick that guy who was bothering you, you should thank me, why should I thank you?

"I..." Chu Mengyao was furious. How could this guy be so slow? She had hinted so much, and he still didn't get it? Did he not know how to please his employer?

"Hehe, what Mengyao means is, since she accepted you, shouldn't you show some gratitude?" Chen Yushu smiled slyly and explained for Chu Mengyao.

"Xiao Shu, what are you talking about? What do you mean she accepted me?" Chu Mengyao was startled by Chen Yushu's words. The ambiguity was too much, it sounded like she was accepting a confession!

"Nothing, I just mean you accepted him as your shield!" Chen Yushu said with a grin.

"Oh, thank you." Lin Yi was quite straightforward. In fact, if it weren't for the odd nature of the job, he was quite satisfied overall, at least the salary was high.

"You're welcome..." Chu Mengyao spat out the three words with a grudge, feeling extremely annoyed by Lin Yi's slowness. This guy was supposed to be her shield? He looked like a fool to her.

"Yao Yao, I'm leaving, see you tomorrow, and you, Shield Brother." The car stopped in front of a villa, Chen Yushu waved to Chu Mengyao and winked at Lin Yi before getting out of the car.

Shield Brother? Lin Yi smiled bitterly. This nickname was quite unique, almost as distinctive as the internet celebrity Sharp Brother.

Chen Yushu's house was very close to Chu Mengyao's. The two villas were opposite each other, and a turn of the car brought them to Chu Mengyao's villa.

Under Chen Yushu's urging, Chu Mengyao reluctantly accepted the migrant worker. However, when she saw him carrying his luggage and walking into the villa with her, she exploded again, "You... what are you following me for?"

Lin Yi was taken aback and turned to look at Uncle Fu, confused, "Don't I live here?"

"You're quite presumptuous, my little villa has never had a man in it!" Chu Mengyao put her hands on her hips and shouted at Lin Yi.

Uncle Fu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, never had a man? What about me... Uncle Fu thought, it didn't matter if he became a eunuch, but he wondered what Mr. Chu would think if he heard Miss say that?

Seeing Uncle Fu wiping his sweat, Chu Mengyao immediately realized her words might have been ambiguous, so she quickly corrected herself, "I mean, no men other than my family have been in!"

"Miss, Mr. Chu said you can get along with Mr. Lin as if he were your brother... So, Mr. Lin will be living in the villa from today on," Uncle Fu said cautiously. He knew the temper of this little lady very well.

"What!" Chu Mengyao's eyes widened in disbelief, pointing at Lin Yi, "Him? My brother? What a joke! Uncle Fu, take him away, let him stay anywhere!"

"I'm afraid I can't do that, Miss. This is what Mr. Chu instructed, what do you think..." Uncle Fu said, somewhat at a loss. After all, he was just a driver, even though he was Mr. Chu Pengzhan's most trusted person, it was difficult to be caught between him and Miss.

"Fine, I'll talk to Dad myself!" Chu Mengyao pulled out the latest Nokia E7 from her pocket and dialed, a phone she and Chen Yushu had bought during a mobile promotion.

Lin Yi looked at Chu Mengyao's phone with envy. Maybe he should get a phone too? Otherwise, making calls was really inconvenient.

"Daddy, it's me, Yaoyao!" Chu Mengyao said in a coquettish tone, making Lin Yi's heart tingle. He realized how sweet a girl's voice could be when she was being coquettish.

"It's Yaoyao, what's up?" Chu Pengzhan was in a meeting with the company, but he still answered when he saw his daughter's call.

"It's like this, Dad, what kind of shield did you find for me? Did you just hire him from the market?" Chu Mengyao was a bit angry. Her father had never been so perfunctory with her before.

"You mean Xiao Yi? Hehe, I specially invited him from Xingxing Mountain, not only is he well-educated, but he's also skilled in martial arts, and most importantly, he has a good character!" Chu Pengzhan said with a chuckle.

"What!" Chu Mengyao really didn't understand what kind of magic this man had over her father to make him say three good things in a row.

Hearing his daughter's words, Chu Pengzhan thought she was being coquettish and said, "Hehe, how about it? Are you satisfied with Xiao Yi?"

"Satisfied? How could I be? First of all, his appearance doesn't pass, if he's going to be my shield, I should at least find him pleasant to look at," Chu Mengyao huffed. "And, Dad, how could you let him live with me? I'm a girl, it's not safe!"

"That's right, Dad considered your safety. You living alone in the villa makes Dad worry, so I asked Xiao Yi to stay with you. Don't worry, Xiao Yi can protect you!" Chu Pengzhan deliberately pretended not to understand his daughter's words.

"I... he..." Chu Mengyao was at a loss for words.

But before she could continue, she heard Chu Pengzhan say, "Alright, Yaoyao, Dad is in a meeting with the middle management, we'll talk later."

He hung up before Chu Mengyao could say anything. Chu Mengyao was so angry she gritted her teeth, her eyes wide, staring at Lin Yi, "Tell me, how did you fool my dad?"
