Chapter 8 - Reassuring Yu Feihong

Yu Feihong narrowed his eyes as he looked at the bodyguard who had arrived. Kidnapping Yu Huiyin would only be useful if she were going to be sold for her beauty, but if someone indeed kidnapped her to sell her, would they come to the victim's home and announce such a story that she was starting to work?

The bodyguard felt strangely nervous as he was standing in front of this teenager, and he uneasily took out a phone. "I can give our boss a call and see if she is free to answer?" he asked hesitatingly.

Yu Feihong nodded his head. It would naturally be for the best if he could hear his sister's voice and ascertain whether or not she was okay.

The bodyguard did not move away, he dialed the number right in front of the young man, but he was still nervous. This was the in-laws of their madam, of course, he wanted to leave a good impression on them, who knew if he would need their help later on.

The phone rang twice before Xie Jingyu picked it up. "What's wrong?" he asked with a frown. He was seated and observing Yu Huiyin pouting and trying to come to terms with her new lot in life, and he found it immensely enjoyable.

Now his peace was shattered because of a phone call!

"Boss, I have gone to inform Miss Yu's family about her current job, but they are naturally worried about her. I was wondering if she can get to the phone and say a few words to her younger brother?"

Xie Jingyu pondered for a moment before he covered the microphone of the phone, and looked at Yu Huiyin.

"Do you want to speak with your younger brother and explain to him what is going on?" he asked Yu Huiyin.

The moment she heard that she could speak with her younger brother, her eyes shone with a brilliant splendor, her previous sluggish and demotivated demeanor turned energetic and happy.

Seeing the sudden transformation, a bit of a sour feeling welled up in Xie Jingyu's heart alongside a conflicting electrocuting happiness. He had never felt two such conflicting emotions before, and both were powerful, wrestling in his heart, trying to overtake the other.

However, his face revealed nothing, and he handed over the phone to Yu Huiyin. He did not even need to hear her answer verbally; her shining eyes had already given her emotions away.

"Hand the phone over to Feihong," she said to the bodyguard, who politely handed the phone to Yu Feihong.

Glancing at the bodyguard, the younger man took the phone with some doubts, but he still waited to hear what Yu Huiyin had to say.

"Little Feihong, I am not sure about what the bodyguard told you, but I have gotten a new job. It is perfectly safe, a little alternative, but I will earn a lot of money and look after you and Grandpa well in the future.

"It is as a live-in, though, so I am not able to move back home with you, but I will come and visit often, not to mention, the pay is so high that I can afford to rent an even better flat for us to live in!"

"Sister, are you sure that this is okay?" Yu Feihong was also aware that meat pies did not drop from the skies. If something sounded too good to be true, then it was.

"Don't worry, it is not illegal or anything," Yu Huiyin convinced him gently. "It is just that the job is very peculiar, so I can't tell you in detail what it entitles."

"Are you sure that you are okay?" This was the only real worry that Yu Feihong had. As long as it was safe, then he did not mind what she was doing, but he could not handle her being in danger for their sake.

The only reason she worked so hard was to provide for him and their grandfather. He was already filled with guilt because of this; he would not want her to do something irreversible for the sake of earning more money.

Although they lived poor lives, they were happy. He would much rather continue their current lifestyle than put his sister in danger.

"It is fine. Trust in me; I will be safe. It is not a dangerous job at all." Yu Huiyin managed to convince Yu Feihong after a bit more time, and the two of them chatted a bit more before they hung up the phone.

Looking at the sleek black smartphone in her hands, Yu Huiyin decided that with her first payment, she would buy a phone for Yu Feihong, their Grandfather and herself.

If she could no longer live at home, she would still want to be able to contact her family. If not for them, she would have run away the moment she had read the contract.

During the conversation with Yu Feihong, Yu Huiyin had been happy. Her face had been glowing, and she was so beautiful that Xie Jingyu found himself mesmerized. It took him a long time to return to his senses.

Looking at the woman who was to be his wife, he felt that she as the most beautiful woman in the entire world, and he suddenly could not help but feel his heart skip a beat.

He had never felt like this before, he was not sure what it was, but the woman was definitely the only one who could make him curious like this.

"Seems like you value your family a lot," he said suddenly, but Yu Huiyin had not forgiven him for what he had tricked her into, so she snorted and looked the other way, not at all caring for how rude she might be.
