Beauty and the Bodyguard

The Mess of The Misunderstanding

But in fact, the Miss and Tang Yin were both stunning! They were beauties with different qualities, but there was no doubt the Miss now was indeed prettier than Tangyin without makeup. There was no question. It was Mengyao's victory here.

"She's slightly prettier than Tangyin after putting on make-up," Lin Yi said honestly.

The way how Lin Yi answered this question without offending anyone. It might seem like he was praising Mengyao, but things were exactly like what he'd said. Mengyao won because of her make-up. Both of them would be equally pretty without make-up.

However, the Miss was overjoyed. She ignored everything else after Tangyin. She was feeling awesome inside. She looked at Lin Yi and thought, at least, you've got good taste! Hmph hmph!

"Oh, how about me?" Yushu brought herself to the light after throwing Mengyao out first.

"You and Yaoyao are the same." Lin Yi couldn't comment much, could he?

"Oh oh, I'm that pretty? Thank goodness, I finally found someone who isn't blind. Woohoo!" Yushu jumped in excitement and looked at Mengyao.

"Shu, why are you looking at me? Did you mean I was the blind one?!" Mengyao eyed Yushu.

"Yeah, you said that I'm not as pretty as you!" Yushu said with a straight face.

"Broken girl, when did I say that?" Mengyao glared daggers at her.

"Then why are you admitting now….." Yushu asked.

"I'm not admitting anything. You were the one staring at me just now!" Mengyao was frustrated. This girl was the one who started the whole mess.

"Then, why are you feeling guilty?" Yushu asked.

"I'm not guilty. Though, I did say that my body was more balanced than yours!" Mengyao said angrily.

"Oh, normally only flat-chested people would say that!" Yushu fought back.

"You!! I'm gonna tear open your mouth!" Mengyao charged herself to Yushu's face.

"Shield bro, Yaoyao sis is trying to kill me again!" Yushu cried.

"Okay, I'm starting the car now." Lin Yi didn't know what to do. He couldn't offer to help either side so he changed the topic, "By the way, Yaoyao. Why did you follow Zhong Pinliang to the mountain again?"

Lin Yi remembered his mission given by Pengzhan earlier, and this was a good time for him to ask and look suspicious.

"That big fat liar cheated me there!" Mengyao felt her heart tightened in pain. Pinliang didn't just fool her, he cheated her feelings! Of course, Mengyao wasn't mentioning anything about love, it was her feelings towards her mother.

Pinliang gave Mengyao hope, but he crushed her fragile heart into pieces! If Pinliang hadn't brought her mother out, she would have just stored that part of herself deep down and locked the sorrow inside.

However, Pinliang set her sorrow free. He gave her a small piece of hope in that second, yet tore a hole in her heart. How could Mengyao still have her composure with her at that point?

Mengyao couldn't help but shed a few drops of tears. Every time she recalled the event, she cried, not because she was cheated by Pinliang but she missed her mother a lot. She wanted to see her mother. She wanted her mother's caring and love. Everyone had a mother, but she didn't!

People would say that Chu Mengyao as the Miss of Pengzhan industries had a luxury life and promising future, but Mengyao didn't wish to have all this. She only wished to have a complete and happy family! She wanted to have dinner with her parents every night.

"Cheated you?" Lin Yi was driving, needless to say, he didn't realize that Mengyao's heart was a little broken, her emotions weren't stable.

"En….." Mengyao felt a prick in her heart whenever her mother came to mind.

"Ah…. Yaoyao sis. Stop crying, okay? You are the prettiest okay. You are prettier than me, alright?" Yushu pulled Mengyao's hand and comforted her.

Yushu would always fight with Mengyao about the littlest things, but deep down inside her, she cared about Mengyao a lot. She changed her attitude immediately after seeing the crying Mengyao.

"Crying?" Lin Yi startled. He looked at the rear-view mirror to see Mengyao's red eyes. Her tears might on the verge of coming out. "Yaoyao, what's wrong?"

"Zhong Pinliang said that he found someone like Yaoyao sis in Mount Shuangyan." Yushu helped her sister to continue, "He was pretty good at acting that time, so Yaoyao sis was blinded with his lies. As a result, both of us agreed to follow him to the mountain, and we were locked in the cave….."

"Someone like Yaoyao?" Lin Yi was stunned. The Miss wasn't stupid, was she? Did she believe Pinliang's lies for that reason?

"En, Yaoyao sis thought that Pinliang saw her mother!" Yushu nodded and explained. The Yushu now was nothing like the Yushu before, she was a totally different person.

"Her mother?" Lin Yi was puzzled. "Isn't Yaoyao's mom dead?"

"Your mom is dead!" Mengyao was enraged. It was if Lin Yi didn't console her, but how dare he cursed her mother?!

"Ugh…." Lin Yi was even more confused. He felt that he must have interpreted something wrong. Could it be that Mengyao's mother is still alive? Then why did Pengzhan say that her mother had left Mengyao since young?

He had a headache! Lin Yi was suddenly enlightened. He must have gotten the meaning of "leave" wrong! Normally, people would say that someone has "left" the world, and that "leave" means someone has passed away in that tone and manner!

However, Pengzhan's use of "leave" was just basically "leave"! Mengyao's mother must have left the house for some reasons!

After thinking about it, Lin Yi couldn't help but sweat. He had just created a mess. A mess offending the Miss. He felt bad for saying that and didn't know how to react. But, he couldn't care much about the Miss' offensive attack.

"Your mom's dead" Lin Yi didn't know who his mother was, and of course he wouldn't know if she was still alive or not so Lin Yi didn't really mind about the attack. He had never seen his mother before. He might have imagined his parents when he was young but he had gotten used to it after so many years. His old man and master had replaced the role of his parents.

"Ha, my bad. I misunderstood something. So your mom actually left you guys." Lin Yi was embarrassed as he explained.

"What's that attitude of yours? Are you still laughing? Is this a joke to you? Are you laughing at me?" Mengyao heard Lin Yi's laughter. She was pissed off at that! This was her biggest weakness and Lin Yi wasn't taking it seriously. It enraged her!

"Ha, laughing?" Lin Yi shrugged and said helplessly, "Cheer up, if we are talking about pathetic, I'm more pathetic than you. I don't even know who my parents are…."
