Chapter 110 - Family Dinner
"Sleeping … can replenish energy too?" Lin Yi said, a little incredulous.
"Kid, you're overthinking it … Of course sleeping can replenish energy, but why do people sleep? Do they have nothing better to do? Isn't it to replenish energy? You're the same … You've trained in the Art of Dragon Mastery, but you're still a human at heart, you haven't mutated … "Jiao Yazi said as he looked at Lin Yi with a pitiful gaze." Don't overcomplicate things, it's actually very simple, even kids understand … "
"Ugh … I see." Lin Yi's face reddened a little. Jiao Lao's words weren't unreasonable, but he was overthinking things.
"That's right." Jiao Lao nodded. "Go to sleep, it looks like you haven't slept in a while … Poor kid, poor thing …"
Lin Yi fell into a deep slumber that night- it was the best sleep he'd had since he'd left the cave … So sleeping really did replenish energy … Lin Yi felt refreshed when he woke up, stretching his body before heading to the bathroom to wash up.
He put on the new casual clothes he'd bought yesterday before leaving the room. There was no one in the living room, Mengyao and Yushu probably still hadn't woken up. General Weiwu stood guard at the staircase leading to the second floor, and Lin Yi was curious as to what a girl's room looked like, but he'd have to do it openly if he wanted to peek, right?
Lin Yi pushed open the villa's door and walked into the villa's courtyard. The villa area was very quiet on weekends, and there weren't any cars coming and going. There was only the occasional passing car.
"Ah …" Lin Yi hadn't been standing at the door for long when he saw Faubert's Bentley slowly drive over and stop in front of the villa.
"Mister Lin, you're outside?" Faubert nodded with a smile when he saw Lin Yi.
"Faubert, this early?" Lin Yi looked at the time. "Yaoyao and Shu haven't woken up yet, right?"
"It's getting late, they should be tidying up. Mr. Lin, don't you want to change into something more formal?" Faubert looked at Lin Yi's casual clothes and asked.
"Me? Make it more formal? What for? "Lin Yi was stunned and looked at Faubert in confusion.
"Mr. Lin, don't you know? Every Sunday, Mister Chu holds a family banquet. In the past, Miss Chu, Little Shu, and I attended together, but this time, Mister Chu specifically told me that Mister Lin must attend as well, "Faubert explained.
"Family banquet?" Lin Yi didn't expect Pengzhan's family to have this custom, but since he was invited, Lin Yi naturally wouldn't reject it. "Alright, but I don't have anything formal. I just bought this yesterday, and other than that, I only have my school uniform …"
"Haha," Faubert couldn't help but laugh. "That's fine, it's a family banquet anyways. Mister Lin, please get in the car first, I'll call Miss Chu and the others …"
"Oh … Okay," Lin Yi nodded and opened the door to the front passenger seat.
Watching Faubert enter the villa, Lin Yi narrowed his eyes. Truth be told, this mission was the most relaxing one for Lin Yi, and also the most baffling one!
Lin Yi was tricked by his old man into accepting a mission that would give him a lifetime's worth of commission … But even now, Lin Yi still didn't know what this mission was.
Playing with the Miss all day long? Being the Miss's bodyguard, babysitter, study partner, and shield? Although it was a bit difficult, but there was no need for an S-ranked assassin and secret agent like him to do this, was there?
Besides, Lin Yi wasn't an idiot. He wouldn't think that doing something like this would give him a lifetime's worth of commission. What kind of joke was this, unless Pengzhan was out of his mind.
But now, it seemed that Pengzhan was very smart, and his brain wasn't out of his wits. This was what Lin Yi was confused about!
If it wasn't for his old man's insistence and guarantee, Lin Yi would've suspected that there was some kind of conspiracy going on! But, Lin Yi also knew that although his old man was a bit frivolous, he would never harm him … This was also the main reason why Lin Yi could stay here peacefully. Even if the Miss was a beauty, Shu was very likable, and there was also an interesting commoner beauty. Lin Yi didn't have the time to play around here. It'd be terrible if he lost his life here.
Mengyao and Yushu came out not long after Li Fu went in, dressed differently from yesterday. Compared to yesterday's youthful and dazzling appearance, they were much more ladylike today, giving off the vibe of socialites.
Faubert helped Mengyao and Yushu open the car door and waited for them to get in before going back to the driver's seat.
Mengyao was surprised to see Lin Yi in the front passenger seat. She didn't think that her father would invite Lin Yi to the family dinner today. Mengyao was actually a very smart girl, but she was often pissed off by Lin Yi.
Since Lin Yi was sitting here, it must be her father's idea. There was no way that Faubert would invite Lin Yi on his own.
Although this Lin Yi wasn't as annoying as before, and he was suitable to be her follower, was her father really going to let a man like him stay in her house for a long time?
Faubert started the car, and it slowly drove out of the villa area towards the city center.
"Mr. Chu's family banquets are all held at Pengzhan International Hotel in the city center. It's also one of Mr. Chu's companies' properties." It was Lin Yi's first time attending a family banquet, so Faubert explained.
"Who's coming later? Are there any rules? " Lin Yi was used to being wild, but this was his employer's family banquet. Lin Yi couldn't be too rude.
"In the past, other than me, Miss Chu, and Shu, it was Mr. Chu." Faubert said. "As for rules, there aren't any. Family banquets are just for relaxation. There aren't too many rules."
"Don't eat so much. Just make a fool of yourself." Mengyao teased, remembering Lin Yi's appetite.
"Haha …" Faubert, naturally, knew that there was a small gap between Mengyao and Lin Yi. He smiled. "Mr. Chu doesn't like to waste things. It'd be great if Mr. Lin could eat everything."
"Faubert!" Mengyao was a little unhappy at Faubert's words. She started to act coquettishly. "Why are you going against me!"
Mengyao was just saying it casually. She knew what kind of person her father was. Faubert was right. She was just making fun of Lin Yi. She didn't think too much about it. Now that Faubert saw through her, she felt a little embarrassed.
"Miss Chu, this old man can't talk about Mr. Chu's habits behind his back. I can only tell the truth." Faubert smiled.
