Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

For Wei Jiameng, life was like a dream.

After her father’s passing, she got a divorce from Jiang Peng with He Yi’s support. She thought that Ge Ge and her life would become meaningless after that and she was uneasy and feared the future.

However, she became hopeful within a night as if her skies were lit up with sunlight.

He Yi drove a Porsche to her house without a word and handed her a bank card with 200,000 bucks for household expenses before signing Ge Ge up in a private elite kindergarten for the best early childhood education.

Wei Jiameng was thoroughly surprised and she asked He Yi where she got the money from. She only smiled mysteriously and replied, “I told you that I’m going to take care of you after your divorce!”

Countless men had been using the same phrase to move countless women but who would have thought that He Yi, a woman, proved to Wei Jiameng by action that she meant her words.

Wei Jiameng clapped her hands joyfully as long-gone brilliance bloomed from her face. “He Yi, you are my lucky star! Me and Ge Ge are in your hands from now on!”

“...” He Yi stared at Wei Jiameng in silence as she became worried about her intelligence level. Wei Jiameng was lucky to meet her. She would never let her down!

He Yi turned around, she could not help but became envious of Wei Jiameng as fortune favors the bold. Wei Jiameng had been protected for her whole life like a plant in a greenhouse as she never left her family villa, not to mention Ge Ge never left her side and the two of them never separated. She was much happier than her.

He Yi became dejected when she thought about Wan Wan who was separated from her since young.

After a while, she said faintly, “Rest well! We’re going to an agency company tomorrow!”

“An agency company? What for?” Wei Jiameng was curious.

He Yi had a light smile when she answered, “To pick a pretty bodyguard that you like!”

*

He Yi never disclosed much to Wei Jiameng about her. Wei Jiameng usually just listen to her directions without asking questions as she was simple-minded and it did not take long for her to worship He Yi like she was her idol.

He Yi was happy with that as she did not have much energy to fulfill Wei Jiameng’s curiosity.

Ge Ge was sent to the private kindergarten which provided breakfast the second morning. He Yi and Wei Jiameng had a simple breakfast at a breakfast shop before going to an agency company.

The employees ushered He Yi to a high-class VIP room before getting their female bodyguards prepared earlier so that she could have a look.

Wei Jiameng and He Yi were both dressed nicely. They looked like queens sitting in the grand VIP room while examining the pretty, educated, and capable female bodyguards one after another.

“Wow, what a treatment!” exclaimed Wei Jiameng dreamily. “He Yi, how did you make the agency company put so much importance on you?”

He Yi examined the female bodyguards as she browsed through their details and answered, “That’s simple, I paid a deposit of 100,000 bucks. They will return me half the amount if I don’t pick a bodyguard here. If I do, I will pay them another 100,000 bucks as fees. They should put in the best effort to bring us the best bodyguards, of course!”

“...” Wei Jiameng was astounded. It is all money talk!

Most of the female bodyguards there were very young with good appearance and figure as specially requested by He Yi. She wanted someone with a great image and good in martial arts at the same time.

Some of the female bodyguards were graduated from martial arts school, some were from the volunteer military and some were former police.

Wei Jiameng gulped after taking a look at the beautiful ladies and whispered, “Why must you pick a young and pretty one for a bodyguard? You’re not a man!”

He Yi continued browsing the files and answered without looking up, “That is exactly why I need to have a female by my side, it’d be more convenient. I don’t want a big and towering man following me all the time, people might gossip about me and it will be inconvenient for me too. The reason I requested a young, pretty, educated, and capable bodyguard is that she can go to social activities with me by pretending to be my secretary or a female escort.

“...” ‘She really put a lot of thought into it!’ Wei Jiameng blinked as she gulped again before asking, “You have very specific requirements, how much are you going to pay?”

“An annual wage of a million bucks!”

“…”

He Yi looked up and locked eyes with the girl in front of her. She knew instantly that she found who she was looking for!

Ji Xueshan was 25 years old, a female. She came from Yun City itself and she was a retired policewoman. Her father who was a gambler had debts whereas her mother was ill and owed the hospital medical bills for the long term. She recently broke up with her boyfriend, also from the police, and she was freelancing, mostly boxing at night, to cover her expenses.

Those were Ji Xueshan’s details. He Yi realized that there were people in a worse state than her existing when she saw those.

As someone who went through a lot, she empathized with Ji Xueshan’s current troubling state and she knew that only money was needed to solve her problems!

He Yi curved her lips into a slight smile and asked gently, “Miss Ji, can you demonstrate your martial art skills?”

“Sure.” Ji Xueshan stared at He Yi. She did not expect her client to be a sophisticated, beautiful woman around her age instead of a middle-aged fat man.

The company prepared a few bulbous male bodyguards to have a match with the female bodyguards during the interview to examine their martial art skills.

Ji Xueshan did not let He Yi down. Despite her lean figure, she was more than enough in opposing the two large men. The two of them were lying on their stomachs within 20 minutes of action!

“Wow, that’s awesome!” Wei Jiameng could not help but clap as she praised, “You looked soft and gentle but your fists are strong!”

He Yi stood up and looked at Ji Xueshan with admiration. Then, she walked to her and extended her delicate hand, “Miss He, welcome!”

Ji Xueshan’s beautiful eyes shone, “Am I hired?”

She would have a million bucks for annual wage and she could obtain 100,000 bucks in advance if she was hired. That was exactly what she needed desperately at that moment.

“Yes, you are hired!” He Yi stared at her with a serious expression and asked, “You are my personal bodyguard slash secretary slash driver from now on. Is that fine with you?”

“Of course!” Ji Xueshan saluted with respect, perhaps a habit she picked from the police academy, and exclaimed joyfully, “Thank you, Miss He!”

He Yi smiled as she corrected her, “You can call me Sister He!”

*

Five years did not do much to He Yi’s appearance but her mindset changed a lot.

She felt the cruelness of time when Ji Xueshan addressed her as Sister He, she was no longer the pure and innocent girl she once was. There were times when she envied Wei Jiameng who refused to grow up and lived in her own bubble with He Yi picking her up.

That was the reason Wei Jiameng could continue being a naive girl but He Yi had to be the mature one!

He Yi stayed in the Wei family villa and drove her new Porsche everywhere. She also had the pretty retired policewoman Ji Xueshan as her personal driver and bodyguard. With these, she finally freed herself from her past pathetic state and became a sophisticated lady of the high society.

Fine clothes make the man. The current He Yi was not to be underestimated no matter where she went.

With her wealth, beauty, and bodyguard, she believed that no one would mess with her for the time being.

He Yi was prepared to head to Daxing Leather Factory in the western suburbs when she received a call from a strange local number.

“Hello, who is this?” asked He Yi politely.

It was a silence from the other end of the call, no one replied.

He Yi felt odd and became cautious. ‘Is the Chu family looking for trouble again?’ She was deep in speculation when a weak sob came through.

He Yi felt her heart wrench and she almost dropped her phone. She exclaimed softly as she trembled, “Wan Wan? Is that you?”
