Chapter 112 - 110: Loyalty +5

Lin Nanyou’s slap was indeed loud enough to make all the guests in the hall look over.The nearby waiter hurriedly stepped up to persuade Lin Nanyou to control his emotions. There were too many people here, and hitting someone like this was definitely not okay.

Lin Nanyou said angrily, "Did I hit someone? Zhang Lulu, were you hit?"

Zhang Lulu covered her swollen face as she got up and replied, "No one hit me. I accidentally fell and hit the table."

"Did you hear that? She hit the table. If you keep nagging, I’ll have her claim compensation from the restaurant!" Lin Nanyou said to the waiter.

The waiter was shocked by the actions of these two people.

Is this blatant extortion or what?

The waiter knew Lin Nanyou was a VIP customer and didn’t dare to really offend him.

So, she had to go find the manager to handle it.

Yang Chen laughed and said, "So the thing Miss Zhang mentioned about selling out friends is this, huh? So, all these years, you’ve always thought Yu Shishi wronged you and you were the victim. Is that right?"

Zhang Lulu dared not speak.

Lin Nanyou said angrily, "Brother Chen is talking to you, aren’t you going to answer? Are you deaf or mute? Do you really want to try hitting the table once?"

Zhang Lulu quickly replied, "Yes, that’s indeed the situation. I know I’m wrong. I was just upset, so..."

"Enough! This is between you and Shishi, let Shishi decide what to do," Yang Chen said and then looked at Yu Shishi.

Yu Shishi quickly replied, "I still stand by what I said earlier, wherever I am, she isn’t allowed!"

Lin Nanyou quickly said, "Sorry for disturbing your meal, Brother Chen. I’ll take her away immediately! I guarantee Miss Yu won’t see Zhang Lulu wherever she goes."

Yang Chen nodded.

Lin Nanyou promptly dragged Zhang Lulu out.

Yu Shishi looked at Yang Chen with admiration, asking, "Sir, how are you so impressive? That President Lin is very afraid of you."

"He’s just a spoiled rich kid, not worth mentioning," Yang Chen responded with a smile.

At this moment, the waiter came over with two bottles of wine.

"Mr. Yang, hello. Before Mr. Lin Nanyou left, he sent you two bottles of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. He also asked me to convey that he hopes you won’t mind today’s matter and that he’ll definitely fulfill his promise," the waiter said.

Yang Chen nodded and said, "Wrap it up. I drove here, I can’t drink."

"Okay, I’ll wrap it up for you. When you leave, you can pick it up at the front desk," the waiter replied.

Yang Chen nodded, acknowledging with a sound.

Yu Shishi clasped her hands under her chin, looking reverently, and said, "Sir, you’re amazing. That President Lin left worried you’d be mad, and even sent wine to appease you."

At this moment, the system issued a reminder.

"Yu Shishi’s loyalty score to the master has increased to 55."

The initial loyalty score of Yu Shishi to Yang Chen was 50, meaning the act of standing up for her earned an increment of 5 points.

Though the increase was small, any increase is good.

Yang Chen laughed and said, "Let’s not talk about them anymore, hurry up and eat."

Yu Shishi, in good spirits, felt her appetite return.

She picked up her knife and fork and continued eating steak.

...

Returning home.

Yu Shishi hurriedly prepared clothes, shampoo, and other things for Yang Chen, then watched him go in to take a shower, staying at the door.

Once Yang Chen was done, she quickly brought a hairdryer to dry his hair.

After drying his hair, Yu Shishi quickly made a cup of milk and had Yang Chen drink it.

Then she watched him brush his teeth, and finally watched him lie down in bed before returning to her room to shower and sleep.

Having been independent since losing his parents at the age of 15, it had been nearly ten years before Yang Chen experienced having someone care for him.

He could only say this feeling was wonderful.

Yu Shishi woke up very early.

She first ran two laps around the lake and then came back to cook breakfast for Yang Chen.

Once breakfast was prepared, Yang Chen finished grooming just in time to eat.

Yang Chen coordinated while eating, "Later, I’m going out to test drive the car. Get someone to tidy up the garden and pool."

Yu Shishi nodded and said, "Okay, I got it."

After finishing breakfast, Yang Chen drove off.

Meanwhile, at Villa 8.

Li Lianxin whispered to Xue Yinong, "Miss, Mr. Yang drove out. But the girl he brought home last night didn’t go out, seemingly staying at his house. Do you think she could be his girlfriend?"

Xue Yinong’s heart skipped a beat, and she then ordered, "Go and probe a bit."

Li Lianxin nodded, took the Wagyu beef bought in the morning, and headed to Villa 1.

At that moment, Yu Shishi was inspecting the yard, trying to estimate how many temporary workers she’d need to hire to clean and tidy up.

Li Lianxin gently knocked twice on the iron gate, asking, "Is Mr. Yang at home?"

Yu Shishi quickly ran over and said, "Auntie, hello. Are you looking for our gentleman?"

Gentleman?

So it seems they aren’t in a romantic relationship.

Li Lianxin smiled and replied, "Yes, yes. I’m the housekeeper from Villa 8 opposite. Our miss is good friends with Mr. Yang. I bought some Wagyu beef this morning, and the miss asked me to deliver a bit to Mr. Yang."

Yu Shishi nodded but did not let her guard down, smiling as she said, "Then hand it to me. I just came to be the gentleman’s housekeeper, and I’m not familiar enough with the area yet. To ensure the gentleman’s household safety, I can’t let anyone in casually. I’ll ask clearly when he returns tonight. Please bear with me."

Li Lianxin’s purpose in coming was to probe the relationship between Yu Shishi and Yang Chen, and now knowing Yu Shishi is Yang Chen’s housekeeper, there was no need to go in.

Li Lianxin handed the beef to Yu Shishi, smiled and said, "It’s right to be cautious. We’re all working for the master’s household, seeking no merit but avoiding faults. Haha... I’ll head back now, go ahead and get busy."

Yu Shishi smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, Auntie. Have a safe trip."

Li Lianxin quickly returned to Villa 8.

Xue Yinong looked at her nervously.

Li Lianxin smiled and said, "Miss, we overthought it. She’s just a housekeeper like me, not Mr. Yang’s girlfriend."

Xue Yinong immediately laughed out, then said earnestly, "Seems he can’t take living alone, needs someone to take care of him. Alright, there’s nothing wrong, keep busy with your things."

Li Lianxin nodded and turned away.

Xue Yinong’s heart was filled with complications.

Dad had hinted openly and ambiguously several times for her to try to interact more with Yang Chen.

If Yang Chen is indeed the rich heir of a large family, befriending or even marrying into such a family would greatly benefit the Xue Family.

Xue Yinong herself thought Yang Chen was quite good too: young, handsome, wealthy, kind, with a good figure, great temperament, with no flaws at all.

If she could really be with him, she’d surely be happy for a lifetime.

But the problem is, how can she, a young lady, actively pursue Yang Chen?

Wouldn’t it seem she lacks restraint?

Besides, she’s worried that Yang Chen’s excellent conditions attract many girls, his personal standards must be high as well, what if he doesn’t like her?

A girl actively pursuing someone and getting rejected would truly hurt her self-esteem.

"Sigh... why can’t you just actively like me? It’s so annoying," Xue Yinong whispered softly.

Meanwhile, Yang Chen’s car was parked downstairs of an apartment building.

A man with glasses sat in the back seat, with a bouquet of flowers beside him.

He was on the phone with his girlfriend upstairs at the moment...
