Chapter 171
171 I Grew Up in the Village
“Little Shen, sit down.” Liu Sujuan beamed when she saw Shen Yi. She quite liked this young man. She usually treated him as family. Now that he had saved Le Yao, she treated him like a son. “Have you eaten? There’s also a bowl of soup and two tea eggs…”
“Thank you, Aunt Juan. We’ve eaten.” Shen Yi was also very respectful to Liu Sujuan and his attitude was very polite.
“Then you guys talk. I’ll go wash the dishes.” Liu Sujuan glanced at Tao Qing and Yuan Bin, took the bowls and chopsticks, and went to the washroom.
Shen Yi introduced Tao Qing and Yuan Bin to Le Yao. “With Tao Qing around, she can protect you.” After all, he was a man. Sometimes, it was really inconvenient.
“There’s no need to do this, right?” Le Yao’s eyes widened. “I’m not a big shot. I don’t need so many bodyguards… Tell Qiao Qiao that I… Forget it, I’ll call her.”
“No.” Shen Yi was vexed for a moment. He had actually forgotten to report this matter to Miss Qiao, so he hurriedly stopped Le Yao from reaching for her phone. “They weren’t arranged by Miss Qiao. They were…” He glanced at the two of them. “They’re my friends. Because they owe me a favor, they agreed to come over and help me protect you for… three months.” In three months, the perpetrator should be able to be arrested.
“Is the salary high?” Le Yao hooked her finger at Shen Yi and gestured for him to approach. Then, she lowered her voice. She had yet to start earning money. The money she received from the live broadcast was not enough to support the two bodyguards. She was spending her old money now.
“They don’t need a salary. They just need food and accommodation.” Shen Yi coughed lightly.
“Is that okay?” Le Yao’s eyes lit up, but she quickly looked a little embarrassed. Bodyguards like Shen Yi were all very valuable.
“It’s okay.” Shen Yi nodded. “The sooner they return the favor, the easier it will be for them. Anyway, Young Miss won’t mistreat me, and you have such a good relationship with her…”
“Since you say so, I’ll accept it.” Le Yao smiled and looked at the two of them. “Then I’ll have to trouble you in the future.”
“This is what we should do. Young…” Tao Qing suddenly paused and smiled. “What I mean is that we owe Shen Yi a huge favor. Mrs. Han, you don’t have to be polite.” She almost exposed himself and called her Young Madam.
“Don’t call me Mrs. Han. I’m not a noble lady. I grew up in the village.” Le Yao smiled, thinking that this girl was quite interesting. “Just call me by my name.”
“Okay, Mrs. Han.” Tao Qing nodded seriously.
Le Yao was speechless.
This kid was really one-track-minded.
Shen Yi and Yuan Bin’s lips twitched before they laughed together.
Tao Qing finally realized that she had said something contradictory and immediately smiled.
It was also because of this small interlude that the atmosphere relaxed.
In the production team of “Qing Cheng Dance”, Yan Zimeng was a little distracted, causing many mistakes in the filming.
“Zimeng, what’s going on?” Director Gu Dechuan’s expression was very ugly.
“I’m sorry, Director. I’m not feeling well.” Yan Zimeng knew that she couldn’t continue filming today. “Maybe I didn’t rest well. Why don’t we film someone else’s part first? I’ll adjust my condition.”
“Alright.” Gu Dechuan could only nod. “I’ll give you two days off. Go back and rest well first.”
