How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 110

Lin Nan’s slap echoed loudly, drawing the attention of everyone in the hall.

A waiter nearby quickly approached, advising Lin Nan to control his temper. “Sir, there are many people present. Such behavior is unacceptable.”

Lin Nan retorted angrily, “Did I hit someone? Zhang Lulu, did I hit you?”

Zhang Lulu, covering her swollen face, stammered, “No, no one hit me. I tripped and bumped into the table.”

“Did you all hear that? She bumped into the table. If you keep nagging me, I’ll have her demand compensation from the restaurant!” Lin Nan snapped at the waiter.

The waiter was taken aback by their bizarre behavior.

Was this a blatant attempt at extortion?

Knowing Lin Nan was a VIP customer, the waiter didn’t dare to offend him.

“I’ll get the manager,” she said, excusing herself to find someone who could handle the situation.

Yang Chen chuckled. “So, this is what Miss Zhang meant by ‘selling out a friend’? All these years, you’ve felt Yu Shishi wronged you, and you were the victim. Is that right?”

Zhang Lulu remained silent, avoiding eye contact.

Lin Nan barked, “Chen-ge [older brother, a term of respect] is talking to you. Answer him! Are you deaf or mute? Do you want to try bumping into the table again?”

Zhang Lulu quickly responded, “Yes, that’s exactly what happened. I was just upset. So I…”

“Alright! This is a matter between you and Shishi. Shishi should decide what to do.” Yang Chen turned to Yu Shishi.

Yu Shishi promptly replied, “My stance remains the same: if I’m there, she isn’t!”

Lin Nan interjected, “I apologize, Chen-ge, for disturbing your meal. I’ll take her away immediately! I guarantee Zhang Lulu will never be seen where Miss Yu is.”

Yang Chen nodded in acknowledgment.

Lin Nan hastily pulled Zhang Lulu away.

Yu Shishi looked at Yang Chen with admiration. “Mr. Yang, how are you so amazing? That Director Lin is so afraid of you.”

“Just a spoiled rich kid, nothing to worry about,” Yang Chen said with a dismissive smile.

Just then, the waiter returned with two bottles of wine.

“Mr. Yang, Mr. Lin Nan sent you these two bottles of Romanée-Conti [an expensive and highly regarded Burgundy wine] before leaving. He hopes you won’t hold today’s events against him and assures you he will keep his promise,” the waiter explained.

Yang Chen nodded. “Pack them up. I drove, so I can’t drink.”

“Of course, sir. I’ll have them packed for you. You can pick them up at the front desk when you leave,” the waiter replied.

Yang Chen agreed. “Okay.”

Yu Shishi rested her chin on her hands, gazing at Yang Chen with admiration. “Mr. Yang, you’re incredible. Director Lin was so worried about angering you that he sent wine to appease you.”

At that moment, the system issued a notification.

“Yu Shishi’s loyalty to the host has increased to 55.”

Yu Shishi’s initial loyalty value to Yang Chen was 50, meaning helping her earlier earned him 5 points.

Although the increase was small, any increase was welcome.

Yang Chen smiled. “Let’s not talk about them. Let’s enjoy our meal.”

Yu Shishi, in a much better mood, found her appetite returning.

She picked up her knife and fork and resumed eating her steak.

…

Back home.

Yu Shishi quickly prepared clothes, shampoo, and other necessities for Yang Chen. She then waited for him to finish showering, standing guard by the door.

Once Yang Chen was done, she rushed to dry his hair with a hairdryer.

Afterward, Yu Shishi made him a cup of warm milk.

Then, she watched him brush his teeth and finally tucked him into bed before returning to her own room to shower and sleep.

Yang Chen had been living independently since losing his parents at the age of fifteen.

It had been almost ten years, and this was the first time he had experienced someone taking care of him.

He could only describe the feeling as wonderful.

Yu Shishi woke up early.

She jogged around the lake twice and returned to prepare breakfast for Yang Chen.

By the time she finished, Yang Chen had already washed up and come downstairs to eat.

While eating, Yang Chen instructed, “I’m going out for a drive later. Find someone to fix up the garden and pool.”

Yu Shishi nodded. “Okay, I’ll take care of it.”

After breakfast, Yang Chen drove off.

Meanwhile, at Villa No. 8.

Li Lanxin whispered to Xue Yinong, “Miss, Mr. Yang drove out. But the girl he brought back last night didn’t leave. She seems to be staying at his house. Do you think she might be his girlfriend?”

Xue Yinong’s heart skipped a beat. “Then go and test the waters,” she instructed.

Li Lanxin nodded, grabbed the Wagyu beef she had bought that morning, and headed to Villa No. 1.

Yu Shishi was inspecting the yard, estimating how many temporary workers she would need to hire for cleaning and renovation.

Li Lanxin gently knocked on the iron gate twice. “Excuse me, is Mr. Yang home?”

Yu Shishi hurried over. “Hello, ma’am. Are you here to see our master?”

*Master*?

So, they weren’t in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.

Li Lanxin replied with a smile, “Yes, yes. I’m the housekeeper from Villa No. 8 across the street. Our young lady and Mr. Yang are good friends. We bought some Wagyu beef this morning, and the young lady asked me to give some to Mr. Yang.”

Yu Shishi nodded, remaining cautious. “Then give the things to me. I just started as the master’s housekeeper and I’m not familiar with this place yet. To ensure the safety of the master’s house, I can’t easily let others in. I’ll ask him about it when he gets back tonight. Please forgive me.”

Li Lanxin’s purpose was to gauge Yu Shishi’s relationship with Yang Chen, not necessarily to enter the property.

Now that she knew Yu Shishi was Yang Chen’s housekeeper, there was no need to proceed further.

Li Lanxin handed the beef to Yu Shishi. “It’s good to be careful. We’re all working for the master, not seeking praise, but avoiding blame. Haha… I’ll head back now. You’re busy.”

Yu Shishi nodded with a smile. “Okay, ma’am. Take care.”

Li Lanxin quickly returned to Villa No. 8.

Xue Yinong watched her approach with a nervous expression.

Li Lanxin smiled. “Miss, we were overthinking it. She’s just a housekeeper, like me, not Mr. Yang’s girlfriend.”

Xue Yinong immediately smiled, then said seriously, “It seems he can’t stand living alone and needs someone to take care of him. Alright, it’s nothing. Go back to your duties.”

Li Lanxin nodded and turned to leave.

Xue Yinong felt conflicted.

Her father had hinted numerous times, urging her to connect with Yang Chen more.

If Yang Chen was truly a young master from a wealthy family, being friends or even relatives with such a family would greatly benefit the Xue family.

Xue Yinong herself also found Yang Chen appealing: young, handsome, rich, kind, and good in every way.

If she were to pursue a relationship with him, it wouldn’t be a bad thing.

But the problem was, how could she, a daughter of a prominent family, take the initiative to pursue Yang Chen?

Wouldn’t that make her seem too forward?

She also worried that Yang Chen’s standards were too high, and there must be many girls who liked him. What if he didn’t like her?

If a girl took the initiative and was rejected, it would be too damaging to her self-esteem.

“Sigh… Can’t you just like me first? How annoying,” Xue Yinong muttered softly.

Meanwhile, Yang Chen’s car was parked in front of an apartment building.
