Beauty and the Bodyguard

The Wealthy

She lifted up her head to see two cleaning workers and one gardener responsible for ruining her big day. She randomly picked one of the cleaners to unleash her fury upon. She pointed at Chu Mengyao’s face and cursed “You little bitch, do you have any idea who I am? How dare you spray me with water. Do you want to die!?”

It was easy for Gou Huli to mistaken Chen Yushu and Chu Mengyao for cleaners since both of them wore sportswear and they looked like a complete mess. On a closer look, they might even pass for country girls that came into the city looking for jobs.

Lin Yi wasn’t dressed any better, he looked like a worker. With his hand on the lawnmower, who else could he be if he wasn’t a gardener?

She first assumed that the two cleaners and gardener was fooling around when the homeowner was away. When they were playing with water, they got her wet. She won’t let them off the hook so easily.

She didn’t care for these people or anyone else beneath her status; she always had a feeling that she was superior to them. Even for the mansion owners there, she wouldn’t put them in high regard.

“She already apologized. Please watch your tone,” Lin Yi couldn’t standby and watch Chu Mengyao get bullied. He walked over to reason with the woman. Even if they were in the wrong, the lady shouldn’t be so rude. They had already apologized for their actions. Lin Yi didn’t want to intervene until that point.

“Apologize? What use is an apology?” Gou Huli glared at Lin Yi. “You are a gardener, a small fry, so mind yourself when you talk to me. What right do you think you have to talk to me? Let me tell you. You don’t have any right to speak to me, you don’t even have the right to be in my presence!”

Lin Yi frowned. This woman’s words were very harsh. If they weren’t in the wrong first, then Lin Yi wouldn’t even bother with answering her. Lin Yi wasn’t being unreasonable “An apology was given already, what else do you want?”

“What? Do you know how much these clothes cost? I just bought it yesterday. I wore it only once, and now it is all wet. These are from famous brand name clothing. I bet you haven’t seen it before?” Gou Huli yelled. “I don’t know why I’m even trying to explain to you people who won’t understand!”

“We can compensate you for your clothes,” Lin Yi calmly replied. If it wasn’t a female, Lin Yi probably wouldn’t have paid so much attention to this troublesome matter.

“Compensate? What will you use to compensate? Do you know how much money each of my clothes cost? How much money do you even earn a month? Even if you sell yourself, you can’t afford it!” Gou Huli coldly laughed. She looked at them with eyes full of discrimination.

“Just say the amount,” Chu Mengyao had a deep hatred for someone she just met. Even if she was at fault, her apology and willingness to pay for compensation is more than sufficient. But, this unyielding woman is screaming and causing a scene.

“How much money? Thirty thousand and eight hundred yuan!” Gou Huli arrogantly spoke up to Chu Mengyao.

“Okay, Lin Yi, can you go get her forty thousand yuan,” Chu Mengyao raised her eyebrows as she calmly asked Lin Yi.

“Get forty thousand yuan? What a big breath. Who would’ve thought that slaves at this rich household would have that kind of allowance? I see now. You have the look of a bitch, did you sleep your way in?” Gou Huli nastily sneered.

“Who is a slave?” Chu Mengyao unhappily replied. “I will compensate you for the money, you can leave after you get it. We still have work to do,”

“Hmph! Compensation? Do you think just compensation will work? My clothes are international designer brand clothing, even with money you can’t buy it!” Gou Huli didn’t like Chu Mengyao’s attitude so she wasn’t satisfied. In Gou Huli’s eyes, Chu Mengyao was a fox, that slept her way into status, that dared to talk back to a wealthy woman like herself. Gou Huli was mad at Chu Mengyao’s attitude!

“Then, where did you buy it?” Lin Yi glanced at Miss as a hint so he can take over. Then he followed up with “If you can buy it, I can buy it too. If you don’t want the money, I can buy you the exact same clothing,”

Lin Yi could say it loudly and proudly. With his Fatty Lai as his brother, Lin Yi thought that he could buy anything.

“Hmph! My clothes are bought from the special collection counter at Pengzhan Business Tower! This is part of the VIP limited edition collection. Only members can purchase it, so even if you have money, you can’t buy it!” Gou Huli coldly sneered. “You need to be at least a diamond cardholder to purchase it!”

“You are diamond cardholder?” Lin Yi replied. He thought it was hilarious, how dare the lady talk about Pengzhan properties in front of his Miss. It sounds a little stupid for anyone not in the loop to have said it in front of the owner’s daughter.

“Well of course! This diamond card is only something that people of my status can get. I heard that in the entire Pengzhan Industries, there was only a dozen of these cards given out!” Gou Huli continued. “My status is not something you small fries can get so easily. You can watch me and continue dreaming!”

Lin Yi couldn’t understand how Pengzhan could give a card to a moron like her?

Chen Yushu was thinking the exact same question in her head. She pulled Chu Mengyao on the sleeve and asked: “Yaoyao sis, how come Uncle Chu would give this idiot a membership card?”

“Probably because she is wealthy and a big spender,” Chu Mengyao replied.

“What are you two whispering about?” Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu’s conversation wasn’t that loud, but Gou Huli heard bits and parts of it, which made her even angrier.

“Then do you mind if I ask what your identity is?” Lin Yi didn’t give a chance for Gou Huli to ask Chu Mengyao or Chen Yushu.

“Me? I’m from Yanjing!” Gou Huli smacked her Porsche Boxster supercar, “Can you see it? The Yanjing license plate 8888! Only a wealthy family like mine can get rare license plates like this. A small place like this wouldn’t understand how the upper class lives!”

“Oh, what a load of bullshit!” Lin Yi nodded. “Okay, so I guess you are done faking it now. Can you tell me about your clothes now?”

“Who are you saying is faking it?” Gou Huli didn’t like Lin Yi’s tone. There was a class separation, but he talked as if there wasn’t any barrier. She couldn’t accept that fact as her pride was on the line.

“No, it was nothing. Do you want us to resolve your clothing problem?” Lin Yi quickly asked.

“Resolve it? How can you do that? I’ll give you a way out, you can come to my house to clean. Once the inside of my house is spotless, and the lawn is trimmed, I will consider this problem resolved. Otherwise, there will be consequences!” Gou Huli replied with her form of compensation.
