Bastard Child
"Dad seems to care more about him than he does about me? And why's his attitude so nice? "Mengyao frowned.
"Yeah, especially when Uncle Chu told you to get along well with Lin Yi, since you guys are the same age … Don't you think that's a little ambiguous?" Yushu analyzed. "Would Lin Yi have to say that if he's just a follower Uncle Chu hired? Just look at how strict Uncle Chu has been with your male classmates all these years- there's no way Uncle Chu would let a guy live with us for no reason at all. "
"You're right … …" Mengyao nodded in agreement. It was true, she'd had a good upbringing since she was young. She was strictly told that she wasn't allowed to date before she was eighteen, and that she wasn't allowed to go out with boys … …
She was eighteen now, but wasn't this change in attitude a little too much? Mengyao couldn't believe that her father would suddenly become so open-minded and open-minded, letting a man into their house!
There had to be something fishy going on! Mengyao wouldn't have thought much of it if Yushu hadn't pointed it out. After all, she'd thought that the reason why Lin Yi was here was because of Lin Yi's magic potion. But thinking about it, wasn't her father a smart man? Pengzhan Industries was such a big company, how could they be tricked by a country bumpkin like Lin Yi? It didn't seem possible … …
That meant that Lin Yi coming here was something her father approved of from the bottom of his heart … … What was the reason for her father to make such a decision?
"Plus … … Faubert seems to be very respectful towards Shield Bro as well … …" Yushu hit the point- it didn't matter if Pengzhan admired Lin Yi or not, but the fact was that Pengzhan admired a lot of people. Many of the young talents in the company had been recruited by him, and all of them treated Faubert with utmost respect. After all, Faubert was an old friend of Pengzhan, and even the vice chairman of the company had to call him Li Bro … … Faubert's attitude towards Lin Yi, on the other hand, was different from how he treated the other employees. It was more like how he treated Yushu and Mengyao … …
"Yeah … …" Mengyao's brows furrowed even tighter- she was starting to suspect Lin Yi's identity and her father's intentions for sending him to her … …
"Yao Yao, in short, whether it's your dad or Faubert, their attitude towards Shield Bro is way too ambiguous … … It's like they're not treating someone they hired … … They're treating him like family … …" Yushu voiced out her thoughts. It might scare Mengyao, but she had to say it as Mengyao's best friend.
After listening to Yushu's analysis, Mengyao suddenly thought of a terrifying possibility- it was a possibility that scared even Mengyao herself!
"Shu … … Do you think Lin Yi … … Lin Yi might be daddy's illegitimate child?" Mengyao's eyes were wide open as she looked at Yushu, panicking. "Why else would daddy like him so much?"
"Wha?!?!" Yushu was stunned as well- she didn't think that Mengyao would come up with such a miraculous reason- Uncle Chu's illegitimate child? Yushu felt a chill run down her spine … … But that was basically impossible, the two of them didn't look alike at all. Mengyao was way too strong for her to come up with something like that.
"What's wrong, Shu?" Mengyao asked as she looked at Yushu standing there, stunned. "Did I say something wrong?"
"Yao Yao, your imagination's too strong … … Shield Bro's around our age, right? If he's an illegitimate child, it'd be after Uncle Chu met your mom, but … … Is it even possible then? Is there even a chance? "Yushu shook her head, speechless.
"Ugh … … Maybe I'm wrong then? But what else could it be other than that? "Mengyao gave up on the idea as well- it was too unreliable.
"Yao Yao, I think Uncle Chu's looking for a son-in-law! He's treating Shield Bro like a son-in-law … … "Yushu said with a mischievous smile. She didn't know why, but Yushu didn't feel comfortable saying those words.
"Looking for a son-in-law?" Mengyao's mouth was wide open as she looked at Yushu. "Shu … … Are you serious?"
"I don't know if it's real or not, it's just a guess." Yushu shrugged. "It just feels like it, but it might not be … …"
"How is that possible? I'm only eighteen … … Impossible, absolutely impossible … … "Mengyao's face was red as she shook her head." What do you think, Shu? "
"I think you and Shield Bro are a good match!" Yushu smiled. "You know how to drive, cook, and even know kungfu, that's not bad … …"
"I don't want to!" Mengyao rejected subconsciously, but in her heart, that strange feeling was surging restlessly … … Daddy really wants him to be my boyfriend? Is he not just pretending to be a shield?
If that's the case … … He can protect me. The scene in the bank had given Mengyao a deep sense of security and dependence on Lin Yi … But the Miss' pride and arrogance made Lin Yi even more despicable!
If that's the case, why would he still flirt with other girls? How could her daddy like someone like that? She and Shu must've misunderstood, or maybe her father had other intentions … …
Mengyao and Yushu made their way to the underground parking lot, and got into Li Fu's Bentley. Mengyao sighed softly. "Shu, what do you think about our guesses? How likely are they?"
"It could be zero percent, it could be fifty percent, it could even be a hundred percent …" Yushu had already returned to normal as she giggled, "But, I feel like it depends on which one you want it to be, Yao Yao?"
"Me? What do I hope for? He likes Lingshan, and that pretty girl at the business district yesterday, what does that have to do with me! "Mengyao's tone was a little sour, even though she was making fun of Lin Yi.
"Haha … …" Yushu smiled, sighing inwardly. Could it be that Yao Yao had feelings for him too?
Faubert got in after checking the car, and Mengyao and Yushu stopped talking as well. Mengyao's expression flickered between happiness and annoyance, but no one knew what she was thinking … …
