Chapter 0008: How did you fool my dad?

"True, then let's see how it goes." Chu Mengyao thought that Chen Yushu's words made some sense, so she agreed. She 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 easily get into trouble? 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. He looked at Chu Mengyao and said, "How about it? Not bad, right?"

"You barely passed." 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 he 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. After all, in today's competitive society, even college graduates end up cleaning sewers. 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? For what?" Lin Yi was puzzled, thinking to himself, I helped you kick that guy who was bothering you, you should thank me. What am I supposed to thank you for?

"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 Yao Yao 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 I accepted him?" Chu Mengyao was startled by Chen Yushu's words. The implication was too ambiguous. It sounded like she was accepting a confession!

"It's nothing, I just mean you accepted him as your shield!" Chen Yushu said with a grin.

"Oh, thank you." Lin Yi was straightforward. In fact, if it weren't for the odd nature of the job, he was quite satisfied. At least the pay was good.

"You're welcome..." Chu Mengyao grumbled, feeling extremely frustrated by Lin Yi's slowness. This guy was supposed to be her shield? He looked like a fool to her.

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

Shield Brother? Lin Yi smiled bitterly. What a unique nickname, almost as distinctive as Sharp Brother, the internet celebrity.

Chen Yushu's home was very close to Chu Mengyao's. The two villas were opposite each other. A turn of the car and they were at Chu Mengyao's villa.

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

Lin Yi was taken aback and turned to look at Uncle Fu, puzzled: "Aren't I staying here?"

"You're quite presumptuous, aren't you? 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, thinking to himself, "No man? What about me... I don't mind being a eunuch, but I wonder 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 man other than my family!"

"Miss, Mr. Chu said you can get along with Mr. Lin as if he were your brother... So, Mr. Lin will be staying in the villa from today on." Uncle Fu said carefully, knowing the temper of this little lady.

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

"I'm afraid I can't do that, Miss. This is what Mr. Chu instructed. What do you think..." Uncle Fu said, feeling quite helpless. After all, he was just a driver, even though he was Mr. Chu's most trusted person, it was difficult to mediate between him and Miss.

"Fine, I'll talk to Dad myself!" Chu Mengyao pulled out the latest Nokia E7 from her pocket and dialed. It was a promotional gift from a recent phone plan, and she and Chen Yushu each got one.

Lin Yi looked at Chu Mengyao's phone with envy. Maybe he should get a phone too? It was really inconvenient not to have one.

"Dad, 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, but he 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 someone from the market?" Chu Mengyao was angry. Her father had never been so casual with her before.

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

"What!" Chu Mengyao couldn't understand what this man had done to 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, his appearance doesn't pass. If he's going to be my shield, I need to find him appealing, right?" Chu Mengyao huffed. "And, Dad, how could you let him live with me? I'm a girl, it's not safe!"

"That's why, Dad considered your safety. Living alone in the villa, Dad is worried about you, so Xiao Yi will be there to protect you. Don't worry, Xiao Yi can protect you!" Chu Pengzhan deliberately pretended not to understand her 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. She was so angry she gritted her teeth, staring at Lin Yi with wide eyes: "Tell me, how did you fool my dad?"
