Beauty and the Bodyguard

"I see ..." Chu Mengyao didn't doubt it,""Uncle Fu, can you tell Daddy that we're almost home? it's about a day's journey ..." Mengyao said.

"Alright, I understand, Miss Chu ..." Uncle Fu paused."Give me a call when you're back ..."

"Alright, I got it." Chu Mengyao hung up the phone and felt at ease. She continued her journey ...

After another day of driving, Mengyao and Yushu finally saw the sign of the toll station. They both let out a breath of relief-they were finally back. The trip to the West Star Mountain village wasn't as happy as they thought, but they had experienced a lot. The two had matured a lot after the experience.

"I'm home, it feels so good!" Yushu said sincerely.

"Yeah, we're finally home ..." Chu Mengyao drove the car back to the sea view Bay Villa area with ease. However, she was shocked by what she saw when she opened the door!

The living room of the villa was a mess of bags and luggage. If it weren't for the familiar furniture, Chu Mengyao would've thought that she had entered the wrong house!

"Eh? Yaoyao sis, did our house get robbed?" Yushu said, surprised.

"Thief? Now, it's just an extra thing, not a missing thing. How can a thief put things in someone else's house?" Mengyao glared at Shu with a bitter smile before walking over and opening the bags. She was even more surprised after opening them."Shu, take a look, aren't these yours?"

"Yeah, these are all my clothes. Who helped me move them into the villa?" Yushu thought it was weird-weren't these things supposed to be in her villa? Why was he in Mengyao's Villa?

"Wait, I'll ask uncle Fu." Mengyao took out her phone and dialed uncle Fu's number.

"Miss Chu, you're back?" Uncle Fu picked up quickly.

"En, uncle Fu, I'm back. But why is the villa so messy? it seems like Shu's stuff has been moved in?" Mengyao asked, confused.

"Miss Chu, wait for me, we'll talk when I get back!" Uncle Fu hesitated. Some things were better said face to face.

"En, okay." Mengyao didn't realize that her family was about to be destroyed.

Uncle Fu didn't say anything else. He looked at pengzhan through the glass window, who had tubes and wires all over him. His eyes reddened, and he turned and left ...

The dashcam had already proven that pengzhan had committed suicide, and the driver wasn't responsible for the accident. The company that the driver belonged to only gave uncle Fu a few tens of thousands of Yuan as consolation money, leaving the rest of the medical expenses to uncle Fu.

However, pengzhan industries was now run by someone else. Chu pengzhan and Lin Yi's shares were now under an Mingyue's name. The small shareholders who used to follow uncle Fu around and suck up to him were like a different person now. Chu pengzhan had been in the hospital for so long, and other than a few old friends who visited him to get some consolation money, the small shareholders all went to suck up to the new chairman. No one else visited Chu pengzhan.

To uncle Fu's surprise, Guangbo had brought his son to the hospital and brought two hundred thousand Yuan. It was a rare sight for a shareholder who had been kicked out of the company to do this.

Guangbo, however, had made it clear that it was Lin Yi who saved his son-this was enough to make up for all his grudges. The two hundred thousand was also for Lin Yi's sake.

Uncle Fu had saved up some money over the years-he didn't have to pay for his own living expenses with pengzhan, after all. He saved up everything he had with his monthly salary, other than the money he used to buy herbs and medicine. With Guangbo's two hundred thousand, it was barely enough to pay for the surgery and medical fees.

But looking at the medical bills every day, Li Fu was at his wit's end. The surgery was settled for now, but where was pengzhan going to pay for the rest of his medical bills?

Uncle Fu couldn't even bear to spend the money on the bus, and now he was trying to save every penny he could. After all, without a source of income, money would only get lesser and lesser the more he spent.

Luckily, uncle Fu was a practitioner-he walked fast and didn't feel tired at all. They arrived at Mengyao's Villa in no time.

However, Mengyao was surprised to see uncle Fu walking in without a car. "Uncle Fu, you're not driving?"

"Miss Chu, let's talk inside ..." Uncle Fu said with a bitter smile.

Mengyao was curious, but she let him in anyway.

It was only when the three of them sat down on the couches that uncle Fu realized that Lin Yi and Tang Yin weren't there. He couldn't help but ask, "Where's Yi and Tang Yin? They're not here?"

Mengyao and Yushu looked at each other, a bitter smile on their faces. Mengyao didn't want uncle Fu and her father to worry, so she didn't tell them about Tang Yun staying in the valley, but now that they were home, she didn't have to hide it anymore. She told uncle Fu everything in detail.

"So, Yi's not awake yet? And Tang Yun, she's staying in the valley, never to return?" Uncle Fu looked at the two girls, not knowing what to say. He'd placed all his hopes on Lin Yi.

After all, Lin Yi's medical skills were superb. As long as Chu pengzhan's life was saved, Lin Yi should have a way to cure him. This could be seen from how Lin Yi helped her recover her meridians, as well as Wu Chengtian and general Weiwu's injuries. Lin Yi was very powerful!

Plus, Lin Yi had a lot of connections in society, and he maintained good relationships with all the noble houses. Pengzhan industries might be gone, but with Lin Yi's connections, it wasn't impossible for them to rise up again. So when uncle Fu heard that Chu Mengyao was back, he was very happy, but now ...

"Not yet, but the people in the valley said that he should be able to wake up in about a month ..." Chu Mengyao said,""Right, uncle Fu, what's with the things in this house? I think they all moved here from Shu's house?"

"One month ... There's still one month ..." Uncle Fu frowned deeply. He was already struggling to make ends meet with the huge daily expenses, and Lin Yi still needed a month to wake up. After he woke up, he might not even be able to recover his previous strength. Could Chu pengzhan still hold on until then? (To be continued.)
