Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chu Meng Yao's Identity

"Fine! Stop crying! We'll talk about this when I get to Songshan city! I'm in Donghai right now, Xiao Ben and I are about to visit House Kang later. Let me settle the things here, and then I'll stand up for you afterward!" Xiao Ji was helpless.

"So you expect me to endure this until you come here? I was bullied the moment I entered this area. What will people think of me!" Gou Huli didn't want to wait any longer. She was extremely pissed, and she wanted to give Lin Yi a good lesson!

"What do you want?" Xiao Ji asked helplessly.

"I can't just let it go. Don't you have anyone in Songshan city? If not, hire some gangsters to hurt them!" Gou Huli said.

"You don't even know their background and you want to hurt people?" Xiao Ji frowned.

"What background could they probably have? Just some stupid kiddos!" Gou Huli said with disdain. "Even if they have some sort of background, how could they compete with us, House Xiao? We are one of the noble houses in Yanjing, after all. In this lowly place, who wouldn't give us respect!"

"It's not like that. We are here to build up our business. After all, we still need the support of the local despots. If we were to offend them now, even if House Xiao is one of the noble houses, we are in a foreign land. What should we do if people don't give us face?" Xiao Ji's voice was deep.

"Hmph! How dare they! We shall allow Uncle Pi to eliminate them! We have a mystic class master backing us, I don't think these upstarts can do anything to us." Gou Huli smiled coldly and cockily.

"You do know that Uncle Pi is our House's figure of worship. If our old man was still alive, letting Uncle Pi hurt them wouldn't be an issue. But Xiao Ben and I, with Uncle Pi, have boundaries in between us now. After our father passed away, we weren't that close anymore. As for why Uncle Pi is still staying with us is all due to our father. Otherwise, do you think we can make a mystic class master stay with that little amount of money we earn in these months? Aren't you dreaming? Xiao Ji explained.

"This… what should we do? I'll try to endure then. Your wife is going to become a ninja turtle very soon! People will surely talk bad about our house sooner or later, saying that House Xiao is nothing without their old man! Even some random upstarts aren't their opponents!" Gou Huli still unwilling to give up.

"Fine! You go check out their background first, see who are these people before we proceed to the next step! I've to pay the old man of House Kang a visit first before we can continue what is in our hand!" Xiao Ji was irritated. "It's not like you're unaware of House Xiao's current situation, people might see us high and almighty being part of the four big and five small noble houses. But in fact, we aren't even equally matched to House Kang now! Look at our business in Yanjing? How much was profited from selling all of them? This time, coming to a foreign land to build up a business is consider turning over a new leaf for House Xiao! House Xiao's current condition is pretty severe, without House Kang's support, we might even face a bigger crisis ahead! Can you at least understand our current dire situation, prodigal woman?!"

"I….." Gou Huli finally shut her mouth up. She knew their situation well just that she was unable to accept the fact! She just became the daughter in law of House Xiao recently, not even two whole years. Just when she started enjoying the luxuries in life, House Xiao fell into poverty. She couldn't accept it and wanted even more to abuse the power of House Xiao. She wanted to get all the power and respect she could get before it was too late.

Xiao Ji ended the call before Gou Huli could continue.

Gou Huli was so pissed that she wanted to smash the phone in her hand right here right now but remembered that it was the latest iPhone she bought recently. It was a few thousand yuan. She held herself back instead. After House Xiao had fallen, Gou Huli's monthly pocket money was less than before, when she was just a mistress! However, she didn't have a choice. With their current situation, there was no point in complaining, either.

Gou Huli had decided to inquire about their information and confirm their background in residential estate property management. She was an overbearing person from the beginning. How could she not teach those kids a lesson? How could she stand up tall and proud being the daughter in law of House Xiao if she didn't make them pay?

Hence, with anger and displeasure, she went down the building, entered the parking lot, drove her car and went full speed to the villa. Arriving at the residential estate property management and walked in like a boss.

In the property company, one could easily get whatever information of the residents to their hand, given that the information wasn't confidential.

So without much effort, she found out the villa's owner name, Chu Mengyao!

Chu Mengyao? Gou Huli startled at the familiarity. Wasn't it the surname of one of the cleaners? And another cleaner beside was calling her "Yaoyao sis". Could it be that she was the owner of the villa, Chu Mengyao? That can't be, right? She was the owner of the villa?

Gou Huli was taken aback greatly. It was no surprise that she would react like this, after all, Mengyao and Yushu weren't wearing anything decent at that time. It was just some casual sportswear, and while Lin Yi was wearing some very old fashioned shirt, it was no different from a worker, an appropriate uniform for a lowly gardener. However, as things stood, it seemed like they were the owners of the villa?

No wonder three of them had their diamond membership card. They were young masters, after all! But Gou Huli was more even pissed after finding out their real identity! If they were the owners of the villa, why didn't they fight back when she called them lowly servants? Were they trying to play dumb to take advantage of me?

"Hey, tell me, what sort of background does this Chu Mengyao have?" Gou Huli waved her hand to call the guard over and shouted.

Although Gou Huli'd completed her renaming procedure documentary work here yesterday, no one in this management didn't know how big a tyrant she was. She might call herself a rich lady from Yanjing city, ordering people around with her fingers, but she was as overbearing as a crab!

(Why a crab? Because crabs don't walk the straight and Gou Huli make any sense.)

She came to the office during the lunch break yesterday, not giving a care to the worker's lunchtime, she threw one of the worker's lunch box away and urged him to complete the procedure for her.

The workers had no leverage over tyrannical residents like this. They couldn't possibly offend them nor speak up so they could only endure the suffering and follow the orders.

"Chu Mengyao is the Miss of Pengzhan industries…" this was no secret in this area, so the guard wasn't trying to hide the fact from her as well.

"What? She's the Miss of Pengzhan industries?!" Gou Huli widened her eyes and looked at the guard in surprise. "Are you serious?"

"Yes, everyone here knows about this…." the guard had no idea why Gou Huli was being so dramatic but he didn't dare to question.
