Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1196 – Big Business

“Xiaoxiao’s a small wife, and I am too, but she’s a bit taller than me, so that’s not fair!” Yushu said. “And even Yun Yun sis and Yao Yao are both taller than me…”

“Uh… We’ll talk about that later.” Lin Yi felt awkward at this random request, “Go get the ingredients first!”

Mengyao wanted to ask if there were any recipes for enlargement of the chest, but she couldn’t ask stuff like that. She wasn’t as thick faced as Yushu… Although, Yushu being shameless as she was, she could always let her do the asking for her!

With that, the two girls headed to the pharmacy, with Mengyao wondering how to approach the topic with Yushu.

“That’s it? Is he fine now? Thanks!” Xiaoke saw that Lin Yi was good at medicine after all, and she was very excited as she held on to Lin Yi’s hand, swinging it around. “Can we go to you the next time a kid here has a sickness or something?”

“…” Lin Yi was a bit speechless. “This is just an emergency, send them to the hospital next time. I’ll help if the hospital can’t take care of the problem.”

Lin Yi didn’t want to make this a precedent, and let all the kids come to him when they had the flu or a fever. He wouldn’t be able to do anything else then.

“Ah… Okay then…” Xiaoke was disappointed, but she knew that she was only associates with Lin Yi, she couldn’t force him. Although, he did say that he would help if the hospital couldn’t take care of it! This made her very happy. After all, many of these children were abandoned because of those incurable diseases they had that were never cured in history. Either that, or it’d require a huge sum of money, which wouldn’t guarantee it getting cured!

Many of these children were in that category, and this was also why, after so many years of thieving, There wasn’t any extra money to go around! Some of the money was expended to the treatment of their diseases! Sometimes it felt clear like it was wasting money, but it was hope- she didn’t want to give up hope on curing the children! They were already lonely and sad. She needed to get the money to cure their sickness!

Lin Yi’s hope, however, did give Xiaoke some hope. She wasn’t disappointed anymore, “It’s a promise then?”

“Alright.” Lin Yi nodded, changing the topic, “Then how are you going to earn money now that you can’t steal?”

“I’ll try to get by for now!” Xiaoke shrugged, “I applied for missions on Thieves’ Door, and if they choose me, I’d be able to do a big haul and earn one year’s worth of money!”

“Thieves’ Door? Big haul?” Lin Yi frowned. He knew about Thieves’ Door. “Just your three-legged cat skill level, and you think you’re good enough to do a big haul on Thieves’ Door? Don’t lose your life over it.”

“I’ll be careful!” Xiaoke hmphed, “How am I a three-legged cat? My speed is at the very top one top two spots on Thieve’s Door! We Flying Sparrow Sect are really famous!”

Lin Yi nodded and kept it at that. He could help her now, but he couldn’t look after her forever. She needed to know how to handle things herself.

Er Goudan now knew that she hadn’t been lying to him, and he felt a bit embarrassed. “You Xiaoke, I’ve misunderstood you! You’re not a scammer!”

“Haha!” Xiaoke didn’t mind at all now that she saw Goudan’s attitude. “Don’t worry, once I get rich I’ll return the money to you for sure!”

“No need- consider it a donation to the orphanage! You’re my boss’ friend, too!” Goudan didn’t want her to return it now.

Mengyao and Yushu had left the orphanage. Mengyao looked back at the run-down place upon getting on the car. “Shu, the kids here really have it rough, but they’ve got a big sis that cares about them! You Xiaoke really is a strong person.”

“Yeah, Yao Yao! I’ve decided I’ll organize a big donation event, and let our classmates make donations! If they don’t have the money, they can donate books or something.” Yushu said, as touched as Mengyao was.

“Oh?” Mengyao blinked, not expecting that Yushu would say something so unexpected amidst her fooling around. Mengyao was only thinking of donating her allowance, but Yushu had thought of an entire donation event!

The power of unity was stronger than personal strength. She didn’t think that Yushu had a plan already!

“That’s a good idea- I’ll talk to dad about it once I get back. I’ll ask him to talk to the headmaster and support our donation charity,” Mengyao nodded in approval.

“That’s great! I heard that Xie Yufeng’s pretty rich, Mengyao scammed a couple hundred thousand from him! We’ll make him donate more!” Yushu put her thoughts on Yufeng right away.

Mengyao smiled- Yushu took on the role of the prankster again.

“Right, you said that you wanted a medicine recipe to become taller?” Mengyao said with a straight face as she drove.

“Yeah, Yao Yao, look at me, I’m so perfect from top to bottom, but I lack the height! Otherwise, I’d be Perfect Shu!” Yushu said regrettably.

“Perfect Shu? Cow Boobs Shu, maybe!” Mengyao intentionally changed the topic to her boobs.

“Oh? What’s wrong, you’re jealous?” Yushu asked.

“So what if I am?” Mengyao rolled her eyes. This was the first time she admitted it- yes, she always acted as if she didn’t care, but who wouldn’t be at least a bit envious?

“Hehe, I know, Yao Yao, you want me to ask Shield Bro if he has any recipes for making your boobs bigger, but you’re too shy, so you want me to ask him?” Yushu hit the mark right from looking at Yao Yao’s face.

“Wha… Of course not.” Yao Yao blushed a bit after Yushu exposed her.

“Then I won’t ask?” They’d been sisters for so long- Yushu was confident about this.

“Then, just ask a bit, I guess since there’s nothing to do might as well work on self-betterment or something…” Mengyao acted as if she didn’t mind.

“Alright, Shu promises to complete the mission!” Yushu grinned. “Once I become taller, and you become well endowed, we’ll be unstoppable and trampled over Tang Yun sis and Feng Xiaoxiao!”

“Why would I fight with them? I just want to look better in clothes,” Mengyao cleared her throat.
