Chapter 70: Between Unmarried Couples
Just as everyone was stunned, Li Beinian said, “From now on, you will be our bodyguard.”
“Bodyguard?” Zhong Taiba’s face turned black.
“Yes, for 800,000 yuan, five years is enough.”
“No!” Zhong Taiba refused sharply. “How can Zhong Taiba be someone else’s bodyguard!”
Li Beinian looked at the sky. The evening sun had already come out. If they didn’t go back soon, things would become more troublesome.
“You don’t need to protect the people in our family. You can do the same things as before, but if my family is in trouble, you have to help.”
“Help?” Zhong Taiba sneered.
“Yes, for example, if someone comes to find trouble with us, you must help.” Li Beinian looked at him. “I won’t hide it from you, I don’t live at home now. I trust you, Taiba. If my family has you to protect them, they will definitely be safe.”
Zhong Taiba sneered and turned his hands around.
“Didn’t you say that you’ll be mine?”
Zhong Taiba was annoyed. “You played me!”
“Either give me the money or do as I say. Choose.”
Looking at the time, it was past five o’clock. 20 minutes before dinner.
If they still didn’t go back, Li Xueqing and Fang Zhili would start to suspect.
Zhong Taiba’s expression changed, and Lan Mao pulled him over.
“Brother Ba, it’s a good idea. Five years isn’t a long time. Now, Chi Beinian doesn’t live in the Chi family, so you can take the time to improve your relationship with the Chi family. Then, once you’ve settled Chi Dali, you won’t need to fear that Chi Beinian wouldn’t like you!”
Zhong Taiba hesitated. “It’s not so easy!”
“Isn’t it better than paying the money?”
Lan Mao’s words made sense.
Zhong Taiba thought about it and turned back. “Okay, I’m your bodyguard. But let me tell you, I won’t be a thug for you.”
“Relax,” Li Beinian said with a smile on her face. “If I really need your help, you will surely benefit.”
When Zhong Taiba saw the smile on Li Beinian’s face, he shook his head and turned red. Then, he hummed and walked away.
Li Beinian left quickly and returned to the Li family’s house by taxi.
Li Haoran was sitting at the table with his wife and daughter. When Li Beinian headed back, Li Haoran was a little upset.
Li Beinian made up an excuse casually, but fortunately, they didn’t ask much and let her eat at the table.
After bathing at night, she received a call.
It was from the Mu family.
Wu Meiya was in a good mood. As soon as Li Beinian accepted the phone call, she shouted happily, “Nian Nian, haven’t you slept yet?”
Li Beinian glanced at the time. It was eight o’clock in the evening.
She was silent for a moment before saying, “Not yet, I’m revising.”
“You’re so hardworking. Don’t worry, just do your best for the college entrance examination and your aunt may help you.”
Li Beinian was startled. This… did she mean that she would open the back door for her?
Wu Meiya chuckled eagerly. “By the way, Beinian, there should be no class on the weekend tomorrow?”
Tomorrow, she was going to sign the contract with Bo Chengcheng and take promotional photos, so she was very busy.
“No, but my classmate asked me to go out and play.”
“Oh… what a pity, what about the day after tomorrow?”
The day after tomorrow…
“Aunt, do you want something?”
“It’s nothing much. I just thought that you and Donglin don’t understand each other well yet. It’s better for unmarried couples to cultivate their feelings more. Have a meal with Donglin the day after tomorrow, ok?”
