Chapter 492: Chapter 520 Promotion
Lin Xi and Shangguan Hong didn’t know that their departing master took their conversation as a joke and thought the two of them were severe victims of adolescent angst.
If they knew, they’d surely be speechless, because every word they said was true!
At this moment, the two stood in front of a manor-style villa. Lin Xi said to Shangguan Hong, "Xiaohong, go inside. From now on, don’t run around alone anymore. You know, if you hadn’t met me today, who knows what would have happened!"
"Okay, okay, brother-in-law, don’t worry. It definitely won’t happen again next time!" Shangguan Hong replied.
But Lin Xi saw his demeanor, which was dismissive, not taking it seriously at all.
"But brother-in-law, are you really not going to teach me kung fu?" Shangguan Hong showed a pleading expression and continued, "If brother-in-law teaches me, I’ll definitely speak good things about you in front of my sister every day."
"And whenever I have time, I’ll also mention you in front of grandpa and mom and dad."
"So from now on, as long as you win over my sister, the rest of the family will definitely be no problem."
"Brother-in-law, this deal is worth it, right?"
Lin Xi turned around wanting to leave, not wanting to deal with this troublemaker. Besides, does he really need this rascal’s help to get girls? Ridiculous!
"Hong’Er!"
Suddenly a voice came from inside the villa. The next moment, Lin Xi saw a middle-aged beautiful woman, with a look of anxiety, quickly walking toward them, while Shangguan Hong instantly became a well-behaved little guy.
"Mom, why are you here?" Shangguan Hong stepped forward, holding the beautiful woman’s hand and asked in confusion.
"You’re asking me why I’m here? Where did you just go? Do you know I was almost worried sick just now!" The beautiful woman frowned, glancing at Shangguan Hong and, seeing he was alright, felt a bit relieved, then said,
"Hurry up and come with me inside, the whole family is waiting for you. If you’re still missing, grandpa’s birthday celebration can’t go on!"
"At that point, the whole family would be out looking for you!"
"Don’t worry, don’t worry, mom, I’m totally fine. Besides, I’m all grown up now, could someone still kidnap me?" Shangguan Hong, acting like a little adult, couldn’t help but mutter.
"You have the nerve?" The beautiful woman pinched Shangguan Hong’s arm hard, "Explain yourself once you get inside!"
As she was about to pull Shangguan Hong to leave, she turned to Lin Xi to thank him, "Thanks for today as well. Go back early and rest!"
"Oh, by the way, when you come tomorrow, go to the steward to collect five thousand yuan as a bonus, it’s yours!"
"..." Lin Xi was stunned; she must have mixed him up with someone else!
The pain in his arm made Shangguan Hong pause too; his mom was mistaking his brother-in-law for a bodyguard!
But before he could explain, the beautiful woman seemed to remember something. Slightly puzzled, she asked Shangguan Hong, "Hong’Er, I heard you just call someone brother-in-law. Whose brother-in-law?"
Since everyone in the Shangguan family, except for her playful son, was already inside the villa.
"..." Shangguan Hong was first stunned, not expecting his mom to have heard what he said earlier.
How should he explain this?
Since it’s about his sister, it seems only he knows!
As he thought of this, a sly smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Troublemaker!" Lin Xi couldn’t help but mutter as he saw his expression since he pretty much guessed what this rascal wanted to do.
So immediately, Shangguan Hong pointed to Lin Xi and explained to his mom, "Mom, this person is not a bodyguard, he’s sister’s boyfriend!"
"Just now, when I said brother-in-law, I was referring to him!"
"..." Lin Xi couldn’t help but rub his forehead.
The beautiful woman was first shocked then widened her eyes, her mouth hanging open, showing an expression of disbelief.
PS: Thanks to everyone for the recommendation votes and monthly votes, still working hard. Oh right, each Chapter really is only between 1200 to 1600 words, occasionally a Chapter has over 2000 words, but overall there are quite a lot of words, at least more than 5000 words daily. I’ll strive to adjust my writing and change it to over 2000 words per Chapter!
