Reborn as a True Heiress and Becomes a Boss

Chapter 42 Striving to Be a Bodyguard
Guan Yu scratched his head awkwardly and chuckled dryly. He then bent down and lifted the tablecloth. "The master has left. You can come out now."

Yang Nianqing nodded and climbed out. This unexpected turn of events allowed the two to leave quickly, which was not bad.

Luo Dashu asked Yang Nianqing, who had climbed out, with a puzzled look, "Little Nianqing, who are those two people? Why are you hiding from them?"

Yang Nianqing sat down in the chair again and said, "We're strangers, though related by blood."

Seeing the change in their eyes, Yang Nianqing felt somewhat helpless. What were these two thinking?

Guan Yu and Luo Dashu looked at Yang Nianqing with a cautious and comforting gaze. Remembering how Yang Nianqing had just avoided them, Guan Yu comforted her, saying, "Master, you did nothing wrong. Don't feel inferior! You can't choose your background."

Luo Dashu nodded in agreement.

Yang Nianqing was both amused and exasperated. Were her words really that misunderstood? "Why would I be ashamed? Of course I haven't done anything wrong! I'm not an illegitimate child. The one in the wheelchair and I share the same parents. What are you all thinking all day long?"

"Oh, really?" The two men gave her awkward, dry laughs.

"Then why did you say they were strangers related by blood?" Luo Dashu asked.

"Because they don't know I exist, because my position now belongs to someone else." Yang Nianqing sneered, recalling the information she found online: Xu Daiqing, a favored daughter of heaven, the eldest daughter of Yuntian Group, the little princess of Letian Entertainment, a popular actress in the entertainment industry, rich and hardworking, beautiful and kind-hearted, approachable, and also a top student, she can be said to be the pride of the Xu family, no wonder the Xu family does not want to acknowledge her.

But she didn't think there was anything good about such a vicious person, someone with no bottom line! Perhaps many people believe that everyone is self-serving, but Yang Nianqing always had a moral compass. She only sought to act with a clear conscience, and she knew she couldn't compare to someone as shameless as Xu Daiqing. Perhaps it was someone like Xu Daiqing that the Xu family liked, but wasn't it tiring to wear a mask for a lifetime?

"We were switched at birth by her mother, and she was pampered in my family." Yang Nianqing chuckled, thinking of the countless merits that allowed her to be reborn. If it weren't for that, she wouldn't have been able to be reborn. "I was bullied a lot in her family. She was a top student from a prestigious university, while I had to earn money to support my family after graduating from junior high school and struggled in society. My biological parents probably thought I was a disgrace, so they didn't want to acknowledge me. As for my blood-related brothers and sisters, I think they probably don't even know I exist."

“But so what? From their perspective, Xu Daiqing did nothing wrong. She is innocent. Their relationship with Xu Daiqing is unbreakable. I only have blood ties with them; I have no feelings for them.” Yang Nianqing shrugged and continued, “But what did I do wrong? I don’t feel ashamed. The moment I learned the truth, I decided to leave this family behind and stop devoting everything to my current family. As for why I’m avoiding them, firstly, I don’t want to have anything to do with them, and secondly, I cheated them out of a book, and now they’re making trouble for me.”

Guan Yu hadn't expected such a hidden story. He patted his chest and said, "If Master and the others cause you any trouble in the future, I'll teach them a lesson for you!"

Yang Nianqing nodded, amused.

Luo Dashu frowned and said, "That Xu Daiqing's biological mother is committing a crime!" Regardless of whether Yang Nianqing's current biological family dislikes her, that woman's behavior is a crime.

“Yes,” Yang Nianqing said quietly, “Everyone has to be responsible for their own actions. The saying ‘Heaven is watching’ is no joke.”

Luo Dashu laughed; retribution would not forget her for such a person.

"Master, I will follow you from now on!"

Yang Nianqing nodded and said, "Just be my bodyguard, and I'll pay you."

Guan Yu frowned and shook her head, "I promised to be your slave, how can I take your money?"

Yang Nianqing was a little helpless. This girl was really stubborn. She really didn't need her to be her slave. She said with a bit of a laugh, "If you don't agree, then you'd better not come with me."

"That won't do!" Guan Yu finally nodded with a bitter face, "Alright then, please give me a little less, just a token." Yang Nianqing nodded with a wry smile, "You don't need to keep using honorifics with me, don't call me Master, just call me by my name."

Guan Yu immediately shook her head vigorously, "How can I call you by your name, Master! How about I call you Miss Qing?"

Yang Nianqing asked Guan Yu to bring a chair for her to sit on. Just then, Fan Ruichen walked over with a woman. Seeing Fan Ruichen approach, Yang Nianqing unconsciously smiled and waved, "Achen."

Fan Ruichen's cold face broke into a smile when Yang Nianqing greeted him, "Qingqing."

As Fan Ruichen walked over to Yang Nianqing, he saw Guan Yu sitting next to her and asked in confusion, "What's Miss Guan Yu doing here? Has her nephew been found?"

Upon hearing that she was mentioned, Guan Yu instantly perked up. "Found it! All thanks to Miss Qing's brilliant strategy! She's amazing! Miss Qing is truly my savior!"

Yang Nianqing introduced her with a smile, "My new bodyguard, Guan Yu."

Bodyguard? Fan Ruichen raised an eyebrow and looked at Qin Lan. He had specifically brought Qin Lan along to accompany Yang Nianqing today. Why did Yang Nianqing have an extra bodyguard? "I was going to say I'd bring Qin Lan to protect you, but something came up these past two days."

Qin Lan was secretly observing Yang Nianqing. A stunning beauty with a gentle temperament, her face was so striking! So beautiful! So this is the young master's girlfriend. I really want to take a picture!
Hearing the young mistress's words, Qin Lan came back to her senses and looked at Guan Yu with unfriendly eyes. This woman was stealing her job.

Upon hearing Fan Ruichen's words, Guan Yu looked at Qin Lan, their eyes meeting in hostility. Was this woman trying to steal her job?
Looking at the two staring at each other, Yang Nianqing felt a headache coming on; it seemed like they were about to fight.

Qin Lan sneered at Guan Yu, "As long as the young mistress has me protecting her, that's enough!"

Guan Yu scoffed and retorted, "Miss Qing only needs me by her side. I arrived first, and Miss Qing already agreed to it."

Qin Lan: "Let's have a fight and see who has the strength to protect the young mistress!"

Guan Yu: "Alright, come on, who's afraid of who!"

Yang Nianqing covered her head. She really didn't need so many bodyguards. Please, have mercy.

Fan Ruichen nodded with amusement, and said as if he wanted to stir up trouble, "I know a club nearby, why don't you go there to play?"

"Ah Chen!" Yang Nianqing tugged at his hand; why was he making a fuss too?

Fan Ruichen patted her hand to reassure Yang Nianqing that she didn't need to worry. He knew Qin Lan's skills and was absolutely confident in her loyalty, but he didn't know Guan Yu. Given Yang Nianqing's personality, it wouldn't be easy for her to agree to let a customer make her her bodyguard. He could take this opportunity to see Guan Yu's skills; if she was too weak, she should go home as soon as possible.

Seeing that both of them agreed, Yang Nianqing had no choice but to agree to go with the group to the club that Fan Ruichen had mentioned.

Luo Dashu had more guests over, so he didn't go with them.

The two argued incessantly along the way, and Yang Nianqing was really afraid that they would start fighting on the road.
