Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1270 – Grandpa Zhu’s Purpose?

“Okay,” Mother Chen naturally believed what Lin Yi said, he was a doctor, after all. How could a doctor be wrong?

After the dinner, Lin Yi and Xiaoxiao bid their farewell while Mother Chen sent them off passionately as well. She even asked Lin Yi to come to visit when he was free, and Lin Yi agreed with a smile.

After stepping out Chen Xi’s door, the smile on Lin Yi’s face vanished into thin air. His face became deep and gloomy.

“Lin Yi honey, what’s wrong?” Xiaoxiao asked swiftly after realizing the odd expression on his face.

“Mother Chen’s cancer was man-made; the water purifier was the culprit!” Lin Yi didn’t see the need to hide this from Xiaoxiao, as he replied honestly.

“Ah! That water purifier is the problem…. I knew it, it must be Grandpa Zhu!” Xiaoxiao was no stupid. She remembered what Lin Yi said on the beach and seeing how Lin Yi sounded Grandpa Zhu out just now, naturally, even Feng Xiaoxiao could tell that Lin Yi was suspecting Grandpa Zhu.

“Yes, but I still don’t understand what’s his purpose of doing this! Is a mystic class peak late phase master this free? Poisoning a single mother? Is he an idiot, or is this just a coincidence?” Because Chen Xi did say that Grandpa Zhu picked the water purifier from the broken goods. He only changed the filter and whether the water purifier itself had another issue. He was no professional. Naturally, he couldn’t tell, either.

“Then why is Chen Xi safe?” Xiaoxiao realized the issue instantly.

“This is one of the things that I can’t understand, is it because of the antidote or her defense mechanism is stronger?” Lin Yi shook his head. “The substance in the water purifier won’t cause cancer in a day, it will be developed after consuming for a very long period of time, so I wonder why Chen Xi never got it.”

“Perhaps it was because of her age. Besides, I don’t think she ate a lot at home? Could this be the reason?” Xiaoxiao asked.

“It’s possible, but Grandpa Zhu is still very suspicious.” Lin Yi continued. “I can’t tell what is his real intentions are. We can only walk step by step and visit Chen Xi more often.”

“En, I don’t like that Grandpa Zhu, either! We can’t let him continue what he was doing!” Xiaoxiao said.

In a blink of an eye, the fundraising event had arrived. Before the fundraising was singing competition, the pre-elimination competition was held previously, so only the most elite ones were chosen, single or duet, they would have their final competition today in the school field!

This event involved the upper society, so to ensure the safety of the students and the smoothness of the event, the school had already contacted the police in advance. Early in the morning, Song Lingshan brought her team to the school to maintain peace and order!

Initially, Xie Yufeng didn’t plan to donate any funds in this event, but since Song Lingshan and her team was here to keep things in order- he had to show his generosity in front of her, hadn’t he?!

“Lingshan, I didn’t know you would be here!” XIe Yufeng strolled over with a smile on his face.

“Sorry, I’m on duty. I don’t have time to talk with you right now.” Song Lingshan eyed Xie Yufeng- she didn’t even want to talk to him at all. She was super annoyed by Xie Yufeng and couldn’t believe that he would appear in this event and came to initiate a conversation with her.

“The fundraising event hasn’t even started yet, has it? Miss Song, are you sure you don’t have time to talk?” Xie Yufeng didn’t seem to understand what Song Lingshan truly meant as he was still standing beside her, not moving an inch.

“Since the event hasn’t started, why don’t you go and get ready then? For the sake of the good cause, shouldn’t you make some contributions? Mr. Yu, you aren’t thinking of not donating, are you?” Song Lingshan didn’t like Xie Yufeng, but she didn’t really mind making this guy pay.

“Hehe, actually, I’ve done all the preparations needed! I always fully support a charity event like this! Didn’t know that Miss Song is also a supporter of a charity event!” XIe Yufeng smiled, but he was troubled inside- how much should he donate to be considered appropriate, he wondered.

Since Song Lingshan was a caring person, naturally, he had to donate more now. If the donation wasn’t enough, she might think that he was a cheapskate, but if he were to donate too much, he was unwilling, either- for what stupid reason should he throw his money like this? If it wasn’t Song Lingshan, Xie Yufeng wouldn’t even donate one cent!

Seeing Xie Yufeng beside Song Lingshan, Lin Yi started to furrow his eyebrows- this kid knew Song Lingshan? Lin Yi didn’t know Xie Yufeng’s real identity and didn’t know House Yu and House Song were engaged, either.

Song Lingshan didn’t tell Lin Yi because he didn’t have any feelings for her, so she wouldn’t seek humiliation for herself, allowing Lin Yi to push her to Xie Yufeng. Meanwhile, Yang Huaijun thought that Lin Yi knew about this so he didn’t bring that up when they were conversing and since he knew that Lin Yi would never let House Yu go after telling him what House Yu was connected to Pangolin’s death, so there was no point of mentioning Song Lingshan’s engagement, was there? Lin Yi might even think that he was a busybody!

Lin Yi’s suspicion rose again after seeing Xie Yufeng and Song Lingshan standing next to each other.

On the other hand, Xie Yufeng didn’t know the relationship between Lin Yi and Song Lingshan; otherwise, he wouldn’t talk to Song Lingshan right in front of him! He didn’t know that his action had sold himself out!

Soon, the singing competition started, Tangyun and Chu Mengyao were both dressed up elegantly on the stage.

They were almost the same height, so neither were inferior to each other in terms of their looks. So, when they rocked upon the stage, it gave such a massive impact. The crowd went into a frenzy!

Tang Yun was already taken, and Chu Mengyao was the Miss who was not in touch with reality, the male students knew that their chances were slim, but there was no harm showing their affection too! Even if they couldn’t own them, they could at least bless their eyes, couldn’t they?

Meanwhile, the businessmen who were invited to this event also started discussing among themselves, inquiring about the background of the two angels on the stage.

Keeping female students as their mistresses were no secret among the upper society people, so when Chu Mengyao and Tang Yun, both peerless beauties rocked upon the stage, they were instantly enchanted by their beauty. It was inevitable since they were already extraordinary pretty in their rawest form, they became even more attractive after the makeup, attracting everyone’s attention without exception, it was impossible not to fall for them in their current state!

However, once everyone knew that Chu Mengyao was Chu Pengzhan’s daughter, their attention quickly shifted towards Tang Yun alone.

Mengyao wasn’t someone you just took as your mistress, being a daughter of Pengzhan industries’ chairman and all- especially now that House Chu was rising so much in strength, who’d even think of trying something like that?
