Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 588 – The Call From Miss

Mrs. Lai was afraid of taking up any responsibility which resulted in her questioning her husband, but after seeing the determination in Fatty Lai, naturally, she wouldn’t voice up anymore.

In reality, Fatty Lai was a relatively smart guy so his wife knew that he wouldn’t just bring a stranger hanging onto the edge of his life without reason.

Fatty Lai was roving back and forth in front of the room, and his wife quickly got him a bowl of warm noodles. While Fatty Lai was savoring two mouth full of noodles, the phone that Lin Yi left behind started to ring.

Fatty Lai looked at the incoming call and he answered the call immediately after seeing it was Tangyin, “Hello, Sis-in-law!”

“Fatty Lai? Where’s Lin Yi? Why isn’t he answering the phone?” Tangyin was extremely worried for Lin Yi- he had left for few hours already, there were no phone calls and he never came back. There was no way Tangyin wouldn’t be worried about him.

After all, their misunderstanding had just been cleared not long ago- this was the moment for them to bond, to be together like a glue sticking to each other and of course, Tangyin was missing Lin Yi’s love and embrace too right now.

“He…” Fatty Lai panicked, “Boss is fine, he’s just a little tired and resting now.”

“Resting?” Tangyin startled- she found the reason strangely odd, “Fatty Lai, tell me, how’s Lin Yi now, get him to answer the phone!”

“Sis-in-law, boss is really just tired, he needs some rest…” Fatty Lai didn’t want to lie Tangyin but Lin Yi had specifically warned him not to mention anything to Tangyin.

Fatty Lai was in a difficult position- he didn’t know how to respond Tangyin. After all, Tangyin and Lin Yi’s relationship was special, normal reasons wouldn’t have the same effect against her.

“FATTY LAI, tell me now! If not I’ll ask Lin Yi to not bother with you ever again!” Tangyin’s heart was pounding rapidly while she threatened him.

“Eh!” Fatty Lai flinched, he was tormented- Linyi told him not to mention anything to Tangyin while Tangyin use Lin Yi to threaten him. This made Fatty Lai lost- this was a tough nut to crack, he didn’t know what should be done.

“He’s fine, in the progress of recovering…. Please do not forget that my boss is also a Miracle Doctor himself.”

“Ah! Linyi is injured?” Tangyin startled, “Where are you guys now?”

“In my house, don’t be worry, sis-in-law, Lin Yi will be awake in no time. I’ll tell him to get back to you…..” Fatty Lai explained.

“No, I must come now, where’s your house?” Tangyin was anxious, she felt bad- Lin Yi was injured because of her. How could Tangyin stay in the hospital and not visit him?

“Erm…. Okay then,” Fatty Lai couldn’t reject her, could he?

“I’ll get my wife to pick you up, it’ll be safer in the night.”

“A…alright,” Lin Yi’s life might be at risk- this wasn’t a time for Tangyin to be polite as she gladly accepted the offer.

“My wife is driving a red Porsche with the plate, Song A1234A,” Fatty Lai told Tangyin about the details, he didn’t want Tangyin to get in the wrong car, it would be a big mistake for him if that happened.

After ending the call, Fatty Lai summoned his wife, and told her about his situation. Although Mrs. Lai was suspicious, she didn’t question him as she drove her car to the hospital. As far as she was concerned, Fatty Lai was treating the stranger inside with generous amount of respect, he had to be an important figure.

However, the phone rang again after a few seconds from Tangyin.

Fatty Lai took out the phone and looked at the incoming call again. Much to his surprise, it was shown “Miss”!

Who was this Miss? Fatty Lai was puzzled but for his boss to name someone “Miss”- her identity must be of utmost importance. Hence, he picked up the call immediately.

“Lin Yi, where have you been? Why aren’t you coming back this late? Did you know that my dad is waiting for you!” In normal circumstances, she wouldn’t make the phone call herself but since Lin Yi didn’t inform her before leaving today, naturally, she was displeased. Besides, her father was here, waiting for Lin Yi to return home for a dinner- he wanted to treat Lin Yi as a token of appreciation for saving her precious daughter.

Chu PengZhan industries had kept Pengzhan out of hands until now, so he had planned to drink with Lin Yi but he didn’t seem to be coming back after waiting for a half day so Mengyao got her phone up and called him.

Normally, she would order Yushu to give Lin Yi a call but now that her father was beside her, she decided that she should be the one calling instead.

Fatty Lai jumped in shock upon hearing the girl’s tone- just who was this miss? How could she talk to his boss like that? Who was her dad anyway, telling Lin Yi to head over for dinner? Could it be that he was Lin Yi’s leader?

Fatty Lai was puzzled- he didn’t know who was the girl on the other side of the phone.

“Ugh, sorry, this isn’t Lin Yi speaking…” Fatty Lai said cautiously.

“Huh? Not Lin Yi? Where’s Lin Yi then?” Mengyao didn’t expect the receiver to not be Lin Yi.

“Ermm… May I ask who are you?” Fatty Lai wanted to confirm the Miss’ identity first before revealing the fact to her.

“I’m Lin Yi….. erm, I’m… I’m his Boss!” Mengyao wrecked her brain and couldn’t think of their relationship so she just blurted ‘his boss,’ “And, who are you?”

Fatty Lai was flabbergasted- Lin Yi’s boss? Was she my boss’ boss?! Fatty Lai answered hastily, “Big boss!”

“Big boss? What do you mean?” Mengyao was perplexed.

“Lin Yi is my boss, and you are my boss’ boss, naturally, that makes you my Big Boss!” Fatty Lai explained.

“Owh, I don’t care who you are, I’m looking for Lin Yi,” Mengyao was lost because of Fatty Lai’s explanation.

“Boss…. He’s injured…” Fatty Lai continued, “He’s recovering….”

“WHAT? Lin Yi is injured?” Mengyao was astonished. How did this happen? She couldn’t help but get nervous, “What happened? Is he alright?”

“Er…. I’m not sure about that, but he was spitting up blood…. He’s recovering in my room, I’m not allowed to check him either…” Fatty Lai answered carefully- she was Lin Yi’s boss after all, he wouldn’t want to mess things up here, would he?

Fatty Lai wasn’t to be blamed for believing Mengyao’s identity. After all, Lin Yi, himself, named her “Miss” in his phone.

“Spitting up blood?!” MengYao felt a prick in her heart, her head started aching as well, “Where is he now? I’m coming over right now!”

“Ugh…. it’s so late at night now, I’ll get a car to pick you up?” Fatty Lai didn’t dare to drag things any longer- she was his boss’ boss after all.

“I’ve got a car myself!” Mengyao interrupted, “Just tell me where are you guys now, quick!”

“Leadshore residences , A9-1 Villa….” Fatty Lai revealed his own address.
