Chapter 09: The Mighty General

Fubo left Chu Mengyao's villa, citing that he needed to go back to the company to pick up Mr. Chu after work. Before leaving, he gave Lin Yi a backpack, saying it contained the school uniform and textbooks for the First High School.

"Miss, if you need anything, feel free to call me. I'll still come to deliver dinner at seven o'clock tonight." Fubo said and hurriedly left.

Chu Mengyao looked at the man in front of her, not knowing what to say. However, she couldn't let him sleep on the street, right? Her father was a well-known philanthropist, and if people found out she was mistreating her staff, it would be quite embarrassing.

Chu Mengyao was angry for a long time before finally thinking of the culprit. She took out her phone and dialed Chen Yushu's number: "Hey, Xiaoshu, my dad asked this migrant worker to stay in my villa. What should I do?"

"Rao Yao, you mean Jiepai Brother? That's great! I'll go to school tomorrow and say you're living together with him. Then no one will bother you anymore!" Chen Yushu, who was comfortably lying on the sofa watching TV, said casually after hearing Chu Mengyao's words.

"Chen Yushu!!!" Chu Mengyao was about to explode with anger and shouted into the phone: "You're so unrighteous! You told me to keep him, and now you're making fun of me? You, immediately, come to my house!"

"Okay, okay, I'll take a shower and a nap, and then I'll go to your place in the morning," Chen Yushu said lazily.

"I'll cut ties with you if I don't see you in one minute!" Chu Mengyao said firmly.

"Oh, I'm already undressed and ready to take a shower. I have to get dressed again," Chen Yushu complained as she got up from the sofa and admired her figure in the mirror. Hmm, it seems I have a bit of a belly? I should eat less in the future.

"50 seconds!" Chu Mengyao said, looking at the call duration on her phone.

"Oh, I have to lock the door, right?" Chen Yushu said as she quickly got dressed.

"40 seconds!" Chu Mengyao continued.

"Alright, alright, I'm coming!" Chen Yushu put on her shoes and ran out the door.

Chen Yushu's villa was only a few dozen meters away from Chu Mengyao's, separated by a small road, facing each other diagonally.

Seeing Chen Yushu's figure from a distance, Chu Mengyao finally breathed a sigh of relief and hung up the phone.

"Rao Yao, what are you doing? I just took off my clothes and was about to take a shower, and you called me out," Chen Yushu complained.

"Ahem!" Chu Mengyao coughed twice, pointed at Lin Yi, and said, "Xiaoshu, there's someone else here, be careful what you say."

"Oh, it's fine," Chen Yushu said carelessly, "Jiepai Brother, he's one of us!"

"Since you're so close, why don't you let him stay at your place? It's decided!" Chu Mengyao looked at Chen Yushu's smug face and felt very annoyed.

"Uh..." Chen Yushu stuck out her tongue and smiled innocently, "Rao Yao, you know me, I like to undress at home. It wouldn't be convenient for him to stay here..."

"Is it more convenient for him to stay at my place?" Chu Mengyao inwardly cursed Chen Yushu for being unrighteous.

"Well, it's such a simple matter," Chen Yushu shook her head and said, "Rao Yao, you can stay at my place, and he can stay at yours. Isn't that fine?"

"Hmm, that's true!" Chu Mengyao thought that Chen Yushu had finally come up with a somewhat constructive idea.

However, Chu Mengyao was not entirely happy. Giving her villa to a migrant worker to live in? Why should she? Besides, what if something got stolen?

"No way! I can't let him stay alone in my villa!" Chu Mengyao said through gritted teeth.

Chen Yushu was also in a difficult position. She had only suggested keeping Lin Yi for fun, but now the problem was, should Lin Yi stay at Chen Yushu's villa? Chen Yushu would absolutely not agree.

After much hesitation, Chen Yushu finally thought of a compromise: "How about this, I'll stay with you, and he can stay downstairs. Your room is upstairs, so we won't let him go up to the second floor!"

Chu Mengyao thought about Chen Yushu's suggestion and felt it was the only solution, so she reluctantly nodded: "Alright, let's do it this way!"

Chen Yushu often stayed with Chu Mengyao, so she went in easily. Lin Yi, carrying his luggage, followed slowly behind.

Chu Mengyao was hostile towards him, and Lin Yi could see that. But thinking about the old man's earnest instructions and Uncle Chu's trusting gaze, Lin Yi didn't mind. After all, Chu Mengyao was a girl, and it was normal for her not to want to live with him.

"Hey, what's your name?" Chu Mengyao sat on the sofa, throwing her long legs onto the chaise longue, and asked Lin Yi.

"My name is Lin..." Lin Yi started to speak and wanted to sit on the sofa. He had been standing at the door for a long time and was quite tired. However, just as his buttocks were about to touch the sofa, he heard a sharp cry that startled him.

"Stop! Don't sit!" Chu Mengyao widened her eyes and shouted at Lin Yi.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yi was startled and his buttocks hung in mid-air as he asked in surprise.

"Your pants are so dirty, don't dirty my sofa! Xiaoshu often lies on it naked!" Chu Mengyao said, frowning.

Chen Yushu was so angry that she rolled her eyes. She thought, "Rao Yao, how can you be like this? You just told me to be careful what I say in front of others, and now you're saying it yourself."

Lin Yi wasn't angry either. His clothes were indeed not very clean. He had been on the train for a long time and had been traveling for half a day. If he dirtied the sofa, it would be a small matter, but if he caused this little beauty to get a skin disease, it would be a disaster.

"Alright, you can continue," Chu Mengyao said, relieved to see Lin Yi stand up.

"My name is Lin Yi," Lin Yi said.

"Okay, Lin Yi, you'll sleep in the guest room over there. But remember, the second floor is mine and Xiaoshu's room. You're not allowed to go up there, or I'll have my dad fire you." Chu Mengyao said this without much confidence. She wasn't sure why, but she felt her father had been bewitched by Lin Yi. So, she added, "If you dare to go up, I'll have the Mighty General bite you to death!"

"Okay," Lin Yi nodded indifferently. However, he was a bit puzzled by the last part of Chu Mengyao's words: "Mighty General? What's that?"

Hearing Lin Yi's question, Chu Mengyao proudly called upstairs, "Mighty General, come down!"

"Woof woof—" A dog barked, and a fierce Rottweiler came down from the second floor, standing next to Chu Mengyao, staring at Lin Yi with a vigilant gaze.
