Chapter 171 I Grew Up in a Village



"Little Shen, come sit down." Liu Sujuan's face lit up as soon as she saw Shen Yi. She liked this young man quite a bit and treated him like family. Now that he had saved Le Yao, she regarded him even more like a son. "Have you eaten? There's still a bowl of dumpling soup and two tea eggs here..."

"Thank you, Aunt Juan, we've already eaten." Shen Yi also treated Liu Sujuan with great respect and politeness.

"You two talk, I'll go wash the dishes." Liu Sujuan glanced at Tao Qing and Yuan Bin, grabbed the bowls and chopsticks, and went to the bathroom.

Shen Yi introduced Tao Qing and Yuan Bin to Le Yao: "With Tao Qing here, he can protect you closely." After all, he is a man, and sometimes it's not so convenient for him.

"Isn't that a bit much?" Le Yao's eyes widened. "I'm not some big shot, why would I need so many bodyguards... You tell Qiao Qiao, I... never mind, I'll call her."

"No." Shen Yi was annoyed. He had forgotten to report this to Miss Qiao, so he hurriedly stopped Le Yao from reaching for the phone. "They weren't arranged by Miss, they are..." He glanced at the two people. "They are my friends. They owe me a favor, so they agreed to come and help me protect you... for three months." In three months, the murderer should be brought to justice.

"Is the salary high?" Le Yao beckoned to Shen Yi with her finger, signaling him to come closer. Then she lowered her voice. She hadn't started earning money yet. The money she received from live stream tips wasn't enough to support two bodyguards. She was currently spending all her savings.

"No salary is needed, just food and lodging are fine," Shen Yi coughed lightly.

"Is that a good idea?" Le Yao's eyes lit up when she heard that, but she quickly looked a little embarrassed. Bodyguards like Shen Yi were all very expensive.

“Okay.” Shen Yi nodded. “The sooner they repay their favor, the easier it will be for them. Anyway, the young lady won’t treat me unfairly, and you have such a good relationship with her…”

"Since you've put it that way, then I'll accept it." Le Yao smiled, then looked at the two of them, "Then I'll have to trouble you from now on."

"It's what we should do, Miss..." Tao Qing paused abruptly, then smiled, "What I mean is, we owe Chen Yi a huge favor, Miss Han, you don't need to be so polite." She almost gave herself away by calling him "Young Madam."

"Don't call me 'Miss,' I'm not some kind of 'Miss,' I grew up in the village." Le Yao laughed, finding the girl quite interesting. "Just call me by my name."

“Yes, Miss Han.” Tao Qing nodded earnestly.

Le Yao: ...

This kid is really stubborn.

Shen Yi and Yuan Bin's lips twitched, then they both laughed.

Tao Qing finally realized that she had said something contradictory, and immediately laughed.

This little incident lightened the mood.

Yan Zimeng was somewhat absent-minded on set of "The Dance of the City," which led to frequent mistakes during filming.

"Zimeng, what's going on?" Director Gu Dechuan's face was extremely grim.

"Excuse me, director, I'm not feeling well." Yan Zimeng knew she couldn't continue filming today. "I probably haven't rested well. How about we film other people's scenes first, and I'll rest for a bit?"

"Okay." Gu Dechuan could only nod. "I'll give you two days off. Go back and get some rest."
