We Are Friends

“Lil" Yi, today"s dinner is to express my appreciation. Thank you for saving my daughter and for saving my company and my school"s reputation!” Chu Pengzhan raised the gla.s.s in front of him, “This is a family dinner, so we won"t drink. I heard that you drove here today, so let"s drink juice instead.”

“Ok,” Lin Yi nodded. He filled his gla.s.s with juice and raised it too. Chu Pengzhan often had social niceties and he had to drink in those conventions. Although Pengzhan Industry was well developed, there were rules for discussing business. No matter how big or small the business was, they had to celebrate it afterward and drinking was inevitable.

Hence, there was no need to drink at a family dinner.

“It"s my duty to save Yaoyao. After all, we are friends. How could I watch her die?” LIn Yi smiled, “As for others, I merely saved them at my convenience. I am also responsible for maintaining your company"s reputation.”

Chu Mengyao was shocked. Lin Yi treated her as a friend, not an employer?

In an instant, Chu Mengyao became delighted. It looked like when she accepted Lin Yi, Lin Yi also treated her as a friend. Then, would she have to retain her temper and interact with Lin Yi like a friend?

Would that be awkward? Chu Mengyao"s face burned at the thought of what happened in the hospital yesterday. If she covered herself as his employer, she could still face him, but how will she face Lin Yi without it?

“If that"s the case, I"ll speak no further,” Chu Pengzhan smiled, “You are right. Privately, you and Yaoyao are friends. Publicly, you are one of the company"s shareholders. How could you just watch?”

Lin Yi is one of the shareholders in Daddy"s company? Chu Mengyao widened her eyes in disbelief. Did daddy give shares to Lin Yi? Really?

Although Chu Mengyao didn"t value money that much, she didn"t think that her Daddy could give shares to an outsider so easily. Perhaps there was really an agreement between Daddy and Lin Yi?

Otherwise, why would Daddy give shares to Lin Yi? Wouldn"t he hold the authority to decision making? As soon as Lin Yi"s shares are transferred to others, wouldn"t her father"s position be in danger?

Despite all this, Chu Mengyao didn"t think that Lin Yi was an ungrateful person.

Chu Pengzhan saw his daughter"s confused glance and smiled at Lin Yi, “Yaoyao doesn"t know that you are a shareholder? You didn"t tell her?”

“I never treated myself as a shareholder, and if you didn"t mention it, I would probably forget about it…” Lin Yi smiled bitterly.

Lin Yi"s words shocked Chu Pengzhan. Lin Yi was probably the only person to think in this way. If someone else held such a large portion of shares, they would be thinking of where to travel to and how to spend money. Who would take the 30,000 yuan salary and continue to follow Miss?

Chu Mengyao was also surprised. Lin Yi doesn"t care about it? Well, Lin Yi didn"t seem to care about the previous three million either. So he wasn"t someone who valued money?

“Yaoyao, Lil" Yi is now the second biggest shareholder in Pengzhan Industry,” Chu Pengzhan informed his daughter.

“The second biggest?” Chu Mengyao was even more confused. It was correct that her father was the biggest shareholder in the company, but even if he split his shares into two equal portions, there wasn"t enough to be the third biggest shareholder in the company!

Her father wouldn"t possibly give the majority of his shares to Lin Yi and leave only a small portion to himself, would he?

“Yes, Xie Guangbo transferred his shares to Lil" Yi,” Chu Pengzhan siad.

It finally made sense to Chu Mengyao. So, another shareholder gave his shares to Lin Yi? Although she didn"t know the details, Lin Yi now valued over ten million, and that was an unarguable fact. With that, why would he stay in the mansion?

At this moment, Chu Mengyao was glad. Did he treat her as a friend? Is that why he stayed in the mansion?

In fact, Chu Mengyao didn"t know that Lin Yi"s mission had nothing much to do with money. Lin Yi only took on this mission because his Old Man agreed to let him retire after this one!

Lin Yi was tired of the homeless and miserable life and wanted to settle down.

“Alright, let"s not talk about it. Lil" Yi, hurry up and eat. You must be hungry. There are no rules for a family dinner. Just make yourselves full,” Chu Pengzhan spoke as he picked up a piece of meat and chewed.

Lin Yi was hungry and when he was about to eat, he suddenly realized that there was a cream bun in his plate with a row of teeth marks and some saliva?

This… This was the bun Chen Yushu bit a while ago? Miss took it out and chucked it in his plate?

Lin Yi naturally didn"t think it was dirty. He performed CPR on her, and this was nothing. Not to mention that Lin Yi thought Chen Yushu was cute and adored her. Hence, Lin Yi picked up the bun and ate it without hesitation.

“That bun…” Chu Mengyao watched Lin Yi from the corners of her eye and warned him when he suddenly put the bun Chen Yushu bit before in his mouth.

Chu Mengyao saw that Lin Yi already ate it and there was nothing she could do. Lin Yi ate Shu"s saliva? She shook her head. Does that count as an indirect kiss? Indirect? Didn"t they kiss directly already?

Lin Yi gave Shu CPR, was that not a kiss?

Shu didn"t really care… Huh? Chu Mengyao suddenly realized something. Shu"s att.i.tude seemed different to other boys?

Ever since she was a child, Shu did nothing but to trick and prank other boys. Only the boys who liked Chen Yushu understood how miserable life was. They were either constantly pranked by her, or they were either getting beaten to death by Chen Yutian.

However, Shu never pranked Lin Yi before? Chu Mengyao thought and realized that it was quite possible! Shu obviously treated Lin Yi differently to other boys. Although she never thought too much about it, she realized the problems after thinking through it thoroughly…

However, Chu Mengyao was unsure. Perhaps it was because Chen Yushu thought that she wouldn"t succeed in pranking Lin Yi and felt happy to have a pranking partner. That"s why she acted differently. Or… Perhaps, there are other reasons behind it?
