Chapter 366 - Going Against Each Other

Zhaoming turned to look at his father, only to find that he found it odd as well- he’d informed his Xiaobo’s father already, did Xiaobo miss the news?

“Xiaobo, didn’t your father tell you? The resort’s packed, we didn’t arrange a room for you and your friends!” Zhaoming said innocently. “How ‘bout this, you and your friends can live in the motel over there. It’s thirty, forty kuai a night, you guys handle it first and tell me how much it was tomorrow.”

“Oh, no need to trouble you, Zhaoming, we’ve booked a room in here already.” Xiaobo said faintly. “We don’t need your arrangements.”

“Hm? What?” Zhaoming froze. “You booked a room here? Impossible! I booked all of the business rooms here already! What’re you trying to pull?!”

“I’m not trying to pull anything.” Xiaobo shrugged, delighted at Zhaoming going crazy.

“Xiaobo, I know how you don’t wanna lose face in front of your friends, I really do understand!” Zhaoming made it sound genuine, but also loud at the same time so Xiaobo’s friends in the van could hear. “But you need to understand that the people attending my grandpa’s birthday feast are all people of very high positions, and even they don’t get rooms! There’s no way we can arrange any for your friends! Also, you’re not grandpa’s direct grandson, too- we really can’t include you when managing those rooms!”

“You don’t have to worry.” Xiaobo wasn’t the slightest bit frustrated. “The ones open for business may all be booked, but not the ones not open for business, right? That’s what we booked.”

With that, Xiaobo got the rail pulled up and got back in the car, not paying Zhaoming anymore attention.

“You……” Zhaoming was almost choking with rage- did Xiaobo know a worker in here? Did he get himself an employee’s room or something?! It was so frustrating just to let him trot in like this!

“Forget it, Zhaoming!” Zhaoming’s father said with a wave of his hand. He looked down on his nephew’s family as well, but he was still an elder- he wouldn’t want to go overboard.

“What the h.e.l.l! Think you’re some big shot!” Zhaoming yelled out, unable to contain himself. “You call that a car?! Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?!”

“Alright, Zhaoming, your grandfather cares about his reputation- don’t embarra.s.s yourself in front of outsiders. He’s a long-distance relative anyway, just let him do what he wants if he wants to show off. It doesn’t get him any substantial benefits or anything.” Kang Cuipu shook his head before turning to an Audi with a smile. “Mister w.a.n.g, you came…”

Lin Yi contacted Uncle Tian after entering the resort- he had to persuade him into not coming down to greet him personally and send someone he trusted instead.

Although, even the trusted person didn’t know Lin Yi’s real ident.i.ty.

Lin Yi wanted to keep a low-profile, after all- if people knew about his connection with the boss it’d attract the Kangs’ attention…

He was here with Xiaobo as a bystander and observer in the first place- the point was to show Fen exactly what kind of an ugly person Zhaoming was, thus removing him from her memory!

If Lin Yi were to expose his connection with Uncle Tian, then Zhaoming might actually have a change of att.i.tude and be all respectful towards him all of a sudden- Fen wouldn’t be able to see his true face if that happened.

“Master Lin, nice to meet you! Mister Tian sent me.” A thirty year old man walked over to Lin Yi’s car with quick steps, not a single trace of disdain in his eyes towards the run-down van Lin Yi was driving, clear of suspicion and full of respect. “I’m Li Yixun- you can call me Li, Master Lin.”

Uncle Tian must’ve told him the licence plate number for him to be able to confirm Lin Yi’s ident.i.ty so quickly.

“Ah, just take us to the villa please, Mister Li.” Lin Yi said politely.

“Please come with me, Master Lin.” Yixun nodded. “Should I get in your car, or will you and your friends come in mine?”

Yixun pointed at an SUV not far away as he spoke.

“You get on, Mister Li- I’ll drive.” Lin Yi said.

Yixun left it at that and got in Lin Yi’s van. He gave him directions and got them to a stand-alone villa by the sea- it should be the villa with the best view here.

There was a sign on the villa’s door- ‘Not for business’.

“Master Lin, the preparations have been made- you can move in right away!” Yixun said as he handed Lin Yi his name card. “You can contact me if anything comes up, Master Lin!”

“Alright, thanks.” Lin Yi put the name card away.

Yixun didn’t have much to say- he nodded and left. There was demand for people like him, people who worked without asking or saying too much.

“Master Lin? Boss, you’re not really one of those big young masters from a rich family, are you? Didn’t you say you have a rich relative?” Xiaobo was clearly excited from how Yixun had been addressing Lin Yi. “Boss, tell me honestly! Are you a legendary young master?!”

“Do I look like one?” Lin Yi smiled bitterly. “That brother of yours is what you call a young master, okay…”

“Heh… Eh? Fen?” Xiaobo was about to prod Lin Yi on when he saw Fen’s tear-streaked face- he jumped, completely startled. “Fen, don’t cry! What’s wrong?”

Lin Yi and Tang Yin heard the sobbing as well, turning around to see tear stains on Fen’s face…

But both Lin Yi and Tang Yin didn’t know what to say- this was within expectations.

Fen meeting Zhaoming again, after all, was enough to affect her fragile and broken heart, even if she’d only seen him from a distance…

There was only Xiaobo who could be there for her right now- Lin Yi and Tang Yin didn’t need to say anything at all.

“Xiaobo, you wanna help Fen inside and talk to her first?” Lin Yi suggested.

“Okay…” Xiaobo nodded and quickly went in with Fen in his arms…

“Let’s wait outside a bit…” Lin Yi sighed and parked the van outside the villa, shutting the engine down.

“Fen sure has it rough…” Tang Yin sighed as well, shaking her head as she looked at Fen and Xiaobo walking away. “Hope she gets over it after all this…”
