From the beginning, I didnāt plan to get along well with Heather, and sheās always provoking me, so Iāve accumulated quite a bit of resentment.
Even though I already heard from the director, seeing her sneer, I still felt a huge surge of anger.
"No need, director," Heather said, trying hard to hold back her laughter, "I really canāt accept Star Jiangās gratitude, just leave it as is. I didnāt intend to help him anyway, just worried it might be difficult for you, director."
The director was delighted upon hearing this, "I knew Wei Wei, youāre someone who looks at the bigger picture and doesnāt sweat the small stuff!"
Sheās not attending an awards ceremony, so she asked, "By the way, director, what did you ask me here for?"
"Itās like this... Weāve already contacted the police but didnāt get any leads, so we temporarily donāt know who wants to harm Jiang Yang. So I wanted to ask if you could temporarily serve as Jiang Yangās bodyguard and keep a close eye on him?"
Protect him?
Knowing his character, I havenāt already punched and kicked him, which is already merciful, and yet I have to protect him!
"Iām sorry, director, you know Iām already employed as Mr. Nianās bodyguard, and as skilled as I am, I can only protect one person at a time."
"Forget it, forget it!" Jiang Yang couldnāt swallow his pride, "I said we could find someone else! Why insist on her?"
"Since Jiang Yang thinks so too, thatās best."
"Knock, knockā" The assistant pushed the door open, "Miss Hai, Mr. Nian said itās time, we should leave."
The door only opened a little, actually not enough to see outside, yet Heather still sensed a strong presence outsideāNian Shen was standing there.
"Well, director, Iām leaving now. Sorry about the bodyguard thing, I canāt help. You should find someone else."
"Alright then... Itās okay, I just thought Iād ask." Of course, the director wouldnāt force her.
How could anyone take Nian Shenās people?
Heather opened the door and walked out, "Letās go, Mr. Nian."
Leaving a crack, Nian Shen stood there, glanced inside, and happened to meet Jiang Yangās gaze.
Jiang Yang suddenly froze, the cup in his hand almost fell to the ground.
When he looked up again, Nian Shen was already gone.
What just happened?
Why did it suddenly feel like... an undeniable killing aura was spreading in the air?
"Whatās wrong, Jiang Yang?" The director noticed his abnormality.
"Nothing..." It must be his imagination, thereās no enmity between him and Nian Shen...
Not to mention enmity, they havenāt even spoken much.
...
In the car, Nian Shen asked her, "What did the director and that actor want from you?"
"Jiang Yang? Wasnāt he suddenly beaten by someone yesterday? The director thinks someone is targeting him and wants me to be his bodyguard."
"Did you agree?"
"Of course not! This Jiang Yang is notorious, not hitting him is already merciful, yet I have to protect him? Dream on. Thinking about it now, I regret not hitting him a few more times yesterday."
Yi Yang glanced at the rearview mirror, chuckled, and said, "Whatās there to regret? Just say the word, Miss Hai, Iāll arrange some people to stand by on his way home, and beat him up until his parents wonāt recognize him."
Heather naturally knew Yi Yang was joking, she laughed twice happily and waved her hand, saying, "No need, if Iām going to hit him, Iāll do it myself, no need to trouble you."
"True," Yi Yang smiled and said, "That Jiang Yang deserves a beating, I know some things about him too."
"You know too?"
