The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard
Chapter 211

Chapter 211: Chapter 211

If an outsider knew, they might curse Zheng Xinru as an ungrateful wretch who forgets past favors. That’s definitely not a good reputation. But on second thought, the Chen family now only has these three women left. Regardless, Lin Jingran and Lv Nan should have the right to know, and telling them the truth is a good thing to prevent them from being as disorganized as when Chen Pingrui first died. With that in mind, it seems understandable. As for the mother and daughter inviting him over, Ye Tian has not given it much thought for the time being. Just assume that they genuinely wanted to thank him.

The meal was rather enjoyable. At the dining table, Ye Tian once again showed his shameless energy, stuffing himself with food. Half of the dishes on the table ended up in his stomach, with Chen Xing guarding vigilantly yet unable to stop Ye Tian’s chopsticks from aggressively foraging across the table. Seeing the chicken breast in the bowl, Chen Xing felt driven crazy. Why doesn’t such a shameless person just drop dead!

"Ye Tian."

"Hm?"

"Come outside for a moment."

Lin Jingran, dressed in a long white dress that seemed both transparent and opaque, leaned against the door waiting for Ye Tian.

Seductive enough.

Useful things still have value; useless things, even if given away for free, would be considered a waste of space. Ye Tian was puzzled as to why Lin Jingran would be interested in him. Don’t tell me it’s some nonsense about being captivated by Ye Tian’s unique aura. Ye Tian was very clear about how he looked; having thick skin didn’t mean he was without self-awareness, but rather that they had the most direct and clear understanding of himself.

Lin Jingran was no fool, and Ye Tian could make that judgment with certainty. This woman wasn’t much inferior to Zheng Xinru. There were plenty of people pretending to be pigs to eat tigers, often done by idle second-generation rich kids looking for fun. But pigs like Lin Jingran, who silently lay in wait in the shadows, were rare, and moreover, they hid for over a dozen years, with her child now nearly twenty years old.

Ye Tian looked at Chen Xing and then at Lin Jingran.

Chen Xing waved his hand, "Go have your talk. I hate listening to you adults discuss things."

Discuss things? Ye Tian didn’t believe it for a second.

Ye Tian picked up his coat from the sofa and said, "It happens that I should be leaving too. There are some things I need to take care of at home. Sister Lin, I think, maybe next time when we have more time we can..."

"That’s even better. I’ll walk you out. We can talk while walking. It’s just a few words."

"...Alright."

"What’s wrong, you afraid I’m going to eat you up? Hurry up, it’ll be too late to catch a taxi soon."

Ye Tian responded and followed her out the door.

Chen Xing watched the closing door, gripping the chopsticks in her hand tighter and tighter, jabbing them repeatedly into the rice, non-stop, until the entire bowl of rice was completely mashed.

When Tang Su got out of the car, she saw the tall figure still standing at the entrance of Fengyu Inn. When he saw Tang Su return, the big guy came up to greet her, calling out "Miss Tang." Tang Su nodded and walked into the house, while that big guy still stood upright at the door, meticulous as a flagpole.

Zhang Daniu, having moved from the villa by Fengyue Lake to here, had become a security guard at Fengyue Inn. Although he couldn’t go about his days like Xu Qingyang, driving around every day, the naive smile on his face hasn’t lessened at all, even more honest and simple than the smile on Zhang Houtu’s face. He was like an old oxen, and no one could maintain their inner peace in this tumultuous world better than him.

In the courtyard, a figure emerged, and Zhang Daniu saw that it was Miss Tang, who had just entered the room, now holding an umbrella in her hand.

"Big Bull, take an umbrella." Tang Su stretched out her hand and passed over an umbrella.

Fengyue Inn was built in the style of ancient dwellings, with only some slightly protruding eaves above the wooden gate, which could shelter from the fine drizzle but not much else. A little wind, and the rain would drench a person’s body, resulting in large wet patches over time. When Tang Su returned earlier, with the help of the light, she saw the patchwork of darker and lighter shades on Zhang Daniu’s rustic burlap clothes—clear signs of rain soak.

Zhang Daniu scratched the back of his head, unceremoniously accepting; just like Xu Qingyang, he wasn’t one to mince words. The difference was that the latter disdained to, while he truly didn’t know how to.

Tang Su looked at him, and said with a touch of emotion, "If Ye Tian could stand here quietly holding an umbrella, I would be content."

"Heh, Mr. Ye is someone who tackles big issues; Miss Tang needn’t worry."

Big issues? Heh, what could possibly be more important than two people being together?

Zhang Daniu was, after all, not good at making conversation, and naturally couldn’t comprehend Tang Su’s puzzled gaze, nor could he understand what truly lay in her heart.

Tang Su smiled wryly and turned to walk back into the courtyard. Zhang Daniu stood peacefully at the doorway, with the only difference from before being the addition of an umbrella in his hand that shielded him from the slanting rain. However, this sense of peace seemed like it was about to be shattered.

"You’re back. Where’s Mr. Ye?"

Zhang Daniu knew that Ye Tian might very well become the next big shot of Tianhe City, and these two were undoubtedly his strongest supports.

"Zhang Xiayang is coming back."

Upon hearing Xu Qingyang’s words, Zhang Daniu’s expression changed, and he asked in a deep voice, "When?"

"It’s hard to say. In any case, if he comes back, Ye Tian will have to leave."

"He might even kill him." This statement was added by Li Jing, and Xu Qingyang looked at him in surprise. It wasn’t typical for such words to come from Li Jing’s mouth. Clearly, the implication was worry for Ye Tian.

Without another word, Zhang Daniu handed his umbrella to Xu Qingyang and ventured alone into the dense autumn rain, where the rain threads fluttered, dreamlike. The man’s colossal figure, however, remained steadfast, striding into the darkness where the streetlights couldn’t reach.

Li Jing watched this man with an odd feeling in his heart, turned his head to look at Xu Qingyang, who appeared calm and trance-like staring at the falling rain in the dark night. Eventually, he too entered the rain and followed the broad, towering figure.

They exited the door and turned left, where the elevator lobby was located. The lights in the corridor were motion-activated, and upon Ye Tian’s arrival, they lit up, illuminating even the pink undergarments beneath her thin dress with the glaring intensity of the incandescent bulbs. Contrasting colors in clothing always betrayed a woman’s ensemble, the greatest enemy to their coordination.

The elevator began its ascent from the first floor and came to a halt at the fifth.

Ye Tian started to swear internally; today was truly an unlucky day—why did he have to clash with this elevator.
