Chereads / surviving as a hero / Chapter 10 - New Event, New Problems

Chapter 10 - New Event, New Problems

In the second event of the novel " the heroines are acting strange!!", Ran goes to his fiancee's company and makes a scene there..... and Idiot Xin, thinking that this might impress Jia Li, slaps Ran on his face and humiliates him and soon faces dire consequences. Not only does he get fired from his job but also makes enemy out of both the Jiang family and the Zhen family.

but..... since I became Little Mei's bodyguard, I thought I might be able to skip this stupid event and move to the third event.

'THEN WHY THE HELL AM I HERE??HUH SYSTEM!!!'

I said to the system in my mind as I was now inside the Zhen family mansion.

I made I grunt and said.

'*scoffs* fuck the fate!!'

and system replied.

'....what????''

I took a deep sigh and remember how in one night my whole Life collapsed.

(flash back)

"wha ....wait what do you mean I have to work for the Zhen family for some time."

I was inside the Su mansion's study room talking with my employer, Mr. Su.

"I know you might find this unnecessary but the Zhen family is a good friend of ours and they need our help to make sure their daughter and heir's safety."

"...."

basically the Jia Li's bodyguard got into an attacked by a group of unknown people and they're afraid their daughter might also be in danger, that's why they need a substitute for him, hence, I will be a replacement for sometime.....and that is till the end of second event.

"isn't the Zhen family rich, they can easily get an amazing bodyguard....why bother asking for someone else?"

"well... that's because they know how capable you are, and how you not only saved my Mei but also the Jiang family patriarch."

well I did saved Little Mei but in Mr. Jiang case....it was him who saved me ... I never thought that small interaction with him would bite me on my ass.

" Also I have capable bodyguards for Mei, they can easily guard her for some time."

That's right what about Mei, I can use her name to get out of this situation!!

"what about Little Mei? she might feel sad without me."

I said this, wiping my non existent tears from my face, now I can get out of this situation, atleast that's what I thought...

"it was Little Mei who suggested that you will be the best choice."

'.....what?'

apparently it was my precious Little lady who got me in this situation.

'why Mei!! how could you betray your precious big brother!!'

(inside the Su Mei's room)

Little Mei enjoying her delicious desserts while thinking about how she helped her big brother getting close to his beloved.

"aren't I such a great Little sister!!! now big brother can be close to his beloved!!"

(back to the study room)

"anyways I have already made an agreement with them, Xin....you're like a family to us... please remember, you're not going there just as their heir's bodyguard but as the representative of this family."

".....I won't disappoint you sir."

(back to present)

"now than, how hope you're as good as the rumours say"

after saying that, the butler guided me to my room.

"get dressed, then I'll escort you to Ms. Zhen. Also I'm just saying this since you are young blood but Ms. Zhen already have a fiance."

he suddenly made a dark face.

"So I hope even if she talks to you in a polite way, Don't get any wrong ideas."

I in response gave him a thumps up and went inside my room to change outfit.

(Jia Li's POV)

[last night]

I was on my study room when I took a deep sigh and reminisce my past memories.... especially Ran's diary.

I remember how before we all were preparing to kill Xin, sister Xie gave me that diary... apparently everything that he did wasn't something he wanted to do but was forced to do by the gods.

....At first I found this strange and stupid....but than I remember how he always used to act arrogant and bully people but behind the scenes he used to protect not just me but everyone else.....like a super Hero.

" I want to talk to him right now...but"

now that I think about it, the only person who is closest to Ran this time is sister Xie....

'what if she might use this opportunity to!!!'

"I cannot lose to sister Xie who is already close with Ran..... I have to win his trust but slowly and steadily.....and also have my revenge on that BASTARD Xin!!"

even saying is name leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

"let's see it's about that time when the gods tasked my dear Ran to walk in my company and create a scene there..... I still cannot believe how much I humiliated him and slapped him on his face .....this time it will be Xin who'll get humiliated and slapped by me."

but then I remember how it couldn't happen this time..... he's Little Mei's bodyguard this time.

the Su family and Zhen family are close friends, that's why I found it infuriating when I found out that Xin has become close with that family... especially my dear Little Mei..... she's was like an adorable Little sister that I always wanted but I never got time to get acquainted with her...but now she's close with that bastard Xin.

"I don't know what you did to my cute Little Mei but I'll save her from you you BASTARD!!!!.....just you wait."

as I was thinking about how I should deal with Xin, my phone started ringing, it was father.

" uh...hello father."

I was wondering what he would talk about at this time.

"WHAT?? IS HE OKAY??"

apparently my personal bodyguard Mr. Jing Xiao was attacked by a group of unknown people and now he was in the hospital....poor guy, I'll make sure to send compensation to his wife and child until he recovers.

"huh? what? there's more??"

but what came out next shocked to a whole new level...

"WHAT?? WHY HIM FATHER??"

father found a substitute for Mr. Jing, until he recovers. According to him, that guy is the best candidate who can replace Xiao for the time being.

"but fa-"

before I could say anything else, father ended the call.

"....shit!!"

I said as I throw my phone on the floor, I came to a realisation.

".....no wait!! it's a good thing....with him being my bodyguard, I can take my revenge on him slowly and painfully.....hehehe"

I could feel my blood rushing with excitement.

'just you wait Xin!! I'll make sure you pay for what you did!! bit by bit!!'

"Hahahahaha!!"

* * * * * * * * * * * *

(Xin's POV)

After getting dressed in my bodyguard outfit, the butler escorted me to Jia Li.

"remember what I said right... don't have any funny ideas.."

the butler whispered this in my ear one last time before he disappeared.

'alright no need to worry, it's going to be easy!!'

I thought as I went to Jia Li's direction.

"uhm....hello, I'm Feng Xin, your substitute bodyguard. I was sent by the Su family...hope we'll get along."

I said as move my hand forward for a handshake.

'A not so memorable introduction, with this I'm sure she'll be less suspicious.'

soon she grabbed my hand with a soft grip and return the greetings.

" I'm Zhen Jia Li, hope we'll get along."

she said this with a really cheerful smile.

'.......fuck'

' that's the problem system!'

I have read the novel so I know that even during greetings Jia Li doesn't show such a bright smile...there were however few moments when she showed this smile and acting all friendly, that was when she was planning to eliminate her enemies.

' system quickly check Jia Li's character profile, then you might know what I'm worried for....'

after a few seconds.

'thanks system '

(bonus)

[last night]

two maids outside their lady's room.... whispering to each other.

"why is lady Jia Li laughing like that..."

"hehehe..."

the other maid replied.

" I don't know but I'm scared!!"

inside the room.

"Hahahahaha!!"

both the maids after getting scared to their wits, finally ran away.
