Beauty and the Bodyguard

Parked Car Collision

"Ah, is it here?" Lin Yi asked.

"It should be right here at 528 Chang Dong Avenue. The real estate property is called Chang Xiang Garden. When you get to the area, you will find it very easy to locate" Fatty Lai continued.

"Okay, you can run along. I will drop by in a bit to see which apartment I like. Then I'll give you a call." said Lin Yi.

After hanging up the call, Lin Yi spoke to Mrs. Tang and said "Auntie, we can go look for the apartment that you would like. As for the price, I have someone to bring it down to a more reasonable price,"

"There's another discount? That would be amazing!" Mrs. Tang loved the word 'discount', so the moment Lin Yi mentioned that phrase, she suddenly became very cheerful. She had heard that the real estate properties were currently doing a promotion, so there wouldn't be any haggling on the price. Naturally, Mrs. Tang would gladly accept any discount. Who wouldn't?

She was warming up to Lin Yi even more. If her daughter were to follow him, then she wouldn't have to be worried about her wellbeing anymore.

The three sat in Lin Yi's van, heading straight for Chang Dong Avenue. Even though Lin Yi's van was not as impressive, Mrs. Tang didn't mind it. Owning a van was decent enough. It is easy to count how many people in one hand that lived in the Grass Alleys who actually owned cars.

"Tang Yun, did you ask for a sick leave of absence?" Lin Yi was used to skipping out on school by now. However, it was a different story with Tang Yun since she was a good student. She rarely cuts class.

"Yesterday's incident with the poison led to classes being canceled today. According to news, Pengzhan industries chairman was hosting a conference to address the issue. I heard a lot of students and parents were going to attend. So this should be considered individual study time…" Tang Yun thought of Chu Mengyao, the moment she mentioned the news conference. Her recent encounter with Chu Mengyao changed her impression of Chu Mengyao. She didn't feel the bad aura given by rich young masters coming from her. She only had a slight ego. Otherwise, Chu Mengyao was relatively easy to get along with.

The Chang Xiang Garden was located in a very good area. Chang Dong Avenue was one of the three roundabouts recently constructed. So on the first day that Chang Xiang Garden was released to the public, many potential buyers were rushing to take a look at the authorized seller's place. The parking area was filled with parked cars.

Lin Yi easily spotted a parking spot. As he was about to enter the space, a quick horn beamed at his rear, followed by a vulgar cursing by another man "Where did this broken j8 van come from? I saw this parking spot first. How can you just rob me of my parking spot? This motherfucker. Get your ass out here!"

Lin Yi frowned. He got out of the car. He saw a bald-headed man stick his head out of his BMW, who was continuing his cursing.

"If you can speak more politely, you won't get into trouble," Lin Yi glanced in the challenger's direction.

"The fuck! You drive a broken ass van, and you don't know the situation here?" The bald-headed man didn't think that Lin Yi would speak back to him in that threatening manner. Out of anger and spite, he replied back "Do you think that I won't run you over?"

After the words left his mouth, the bald-headed man put his car in drive mode and charged. Initially, he was just going to scare Lin Yi. The bald-headed man wouldn't dare to kill someone with so many bystanders watching. He wouldn't be able to get away!

He was afraid of going to prison. Even if he was wealthy, this type of troubles was the hardest to settle.

Lin Yi smirked. With a BMW charging toward him, instead of running, he stuck out his foot and placed it on the car hood. That was more than enough to stop the car.

The bald-headed man was shocked. How could someone stop a car with just his foot? Who is this person? He was so used to bullying his way through, but when he encounters vicious individuals, he could only feign ignorance. If he didn't even do that, then he would surely get beaten!

Even though the bald-headed man was infuriated internally, he couldn't do anything to harm Lin Yi. He got out of his car and assessed the damage quickly. The car hood had a huge dent from where the foot was before. He was even more scared than before he had gotten out of the car, but in order to maintain his facade, he didn't want to reveal how weak he actually was. Instead, he whispered coldly, "Young man, you better watch yourself!'

The bald-headed man didn't care for the chump change that would've been for reparation. He had to seek redemption of his face through payment.

He was the boss of Xin Village Car Rental, so he was quite wealthy. His purpose for rushing was to buy a house, so he didn't want to be looked down upon by anyone. Especially not by a commoner like Lin Yi.

"Ah…" Lin Yi unenthusiastically spoke up, then remained silent.

Lin Yi has learned to be careless about these type of people. There was simply no need to exert himself to be emotionally invested for them.

The bald-headed man glanced at Lin Yi, then returned to his car. He vented out loud "What kind of trashed van is this. With this country bumpkin, I will definitely teach him a lesson!"

"Boss Wu, don't get angry with the country bumpkin. If you get angry with him, then you will stoop down to his status!" The passenger in the BMW could tell that her own man wanted to clash with Lin Yi, but she couldn't say that out loud. If she spoke up and ruin his mood, then her plans to buy a house would be over.

"Yeah, you are right. It seems like they are also here to buy a condo. When we see him later. Let's sabotage him!" Boss Wu nodded in agreement. Then he reignited his car to find an alternative parking space.

Tang Yun and Mrs. Tang got out of the car and witnessed everything. They didn't understand the overall situation, but since it was resolved, they didn't ask for details.

The three of them walked to the seller's center, and the sales lady came up to greet them. Immediately, she started to introduce the good qualities of Chang Xiang Garden.

Needless to say, Fatty Lai's management skills were extraordinary. Mrs. Tang didn't dress the part of a wealthy lady, but the sales lady didn't discriminate.

"Is there any discount for buying houses here?" Mrs. Tang was most concerned with discounts. She didn't bother to wait for the sales lady to finish the routine property introduction.

As for facts about whether there are schools or stores nearby, it wasn't Mrs. Tang's main concern. She only cared about the price. As long as it was cheap. Her daughter was about to enter University, so the schools no longer concerned her.

They didn't even need to mention the stores. They always ate the leftovers and remains from the night market. They couldn't afford to go to higher class stores!

"Yes, there is a discount! Since today is the opening day, there is a 5% discount for buying apartments. If you want to buy a house, then there is a 10% discount. There is a chance of winning an interior makeover as the grand prize!" The sales lady continued.

"Could we make the price cheaper?" Mrs. Tang asked.

"This is the price set by our boss. I don't have the authority to change it," the sales lady smiled.

"Okay, then can you lead us to the apartments!" Mrs. Tang nodded and replied.

The sales lady brought them to check out a miniature model of the area. Mrs. Tang chose a nicely positioned building with ample amount of sunlight and then asked the sales lady, "If I want this building, do you have a blueprint?"

"Yes, we do. Please wait here for me!" The sales lady searched for the blueprint and handed it over to Mrs. Tang.

Right as Mrs. Tang opened up the blueprint in her hand, the bald-headed man started heading over to their direction...
