Becoming Friends With Love Rivals?

"That's right, Tianli. If it weren't for Lin Yi, father wouldn't be so healthy right now. So, even if we just think of this one hundred million as gratitude, what's the problem in that?" Tianyi said.

"I understand!" Tianli nodded.

But, before House Liu even finished their meeting, a new piece of news arrived—Lin Yi hadn't lost his strength at all, he was pretending! Yu Bide was dead, Uncle Pi was in a vegetative state, and Zhao Qibin's legs were broken!

House Liu, upon knowing this, couldn't help but look at each other, unsure what to say. It was just moments ago that Lin Yi was still on the submissive side—now, everything was flipped around! Furthermore, wasn't Lin Yi a little too cruel, killing even House Yu's Yu Bide? Turning Uncle Pi into a vegetable, too, and even breaking the legs of Qibin, from a hidden house?

"Ha! Lin Yi, he had us all fooled, he was putting on a sheepskin! We were worried about nothing!" Tianyi breathed out after hearing the news. The ones celebrating Lin Yi's comeback were none other than House Liu! After all, he would very well remember that one hundred million and not forget what House Liu has done.

"I admit, my sights were to narrow!" Tianli said, a little self-mockingly. "But, this Lin Yi is a little violent? Doing this would anger House Li and House Xiao and even Zhao Qibin's hidden house- would that rage involve us if we stay in contact with Lin Yi?"

"Hm…" Tianyi went into thought at the words. Things were more complicated now, and the hatred between Lin Yi and House Xiao along with House Yu was pretty much unnegotiable at this point. If they were to stay on Lin Yi's side, it might affect them.

After all, with the way their family was right now, pissing off these two big houses weren't in their biggest interests.

"What do you think, Jing Jing?" Zhenhu didn't make any comments but asked his granddaughter's opinion instead.

"I think we can spread the news of how Lin Yi had saved grandpa." Liu Jing said after a short silence.

"Oh?" Liu Tianyi paused, not understanding how this had any correlation. What was his daughter talking about?

Tianyi was the traditional type—he was good at maintaining the business, but not starting one!

"Brilliant! Jing Jing, you really are the talent of our house!" Tianyi said, and started laughing loudly. "Lin Yi is the savior of our House Liu, so being on good terms with him is all but natural, otherwise we'd be repaying his kindness with hostility! Helping Lin Yi would be perfectly understandable for House Yu and House Xiao, there's nothing they can say!"

"I see!" Tianli said, understanding immediately. "True, while many of these noble families aren't good people themselves, they're still a reasonable lot. We've received Lin Yi's grace, and if even we didn't stay on his side then it'd label us as ungrateful!"

Zhenhu nodded. "We'll do as Jing Jing says."

'Yes, father!" Tianyi and Tianli said.

Liu Jinghan, on the other hand, did not seem to be happy. She only stood there, behind Zhenhu, quietly. A trace of doubt crossed her pretty eyes. Was Lin Yi really only pretending? There seemed to be something she wasn't aware of.

What an odd person! Jinghan shook her head. Did they really trade one hundred million for Lin Yi's friendship? She wasn't sure…

...

After splitting up with Tang Yun at school, Lin Yi went to Zhen Dazhou for money and told him Chu Pengzhan's account number. After the transfer had been made, he went back to the villa.

The door of the villa had already been repaired, along with the other destroyed parts of the house. Some of the mud just hadn't cleared up yet, however.

Pengzhan hadn't gone to the company yet, but instead to Li Fu's room. Lin Yi was healed now, so could he be able to heal Uncle Fu? He didn't want to ask Lin Yi of that task when he'd lost his strength, only thinking of carrying Li Fu with him and wait for Lin Yi to think of an alternative.

But now all of that was gone. He was planning on requesting Lin Yi to see if he could help Uncle Fu.

The miss and Yushu, on the other hand, were sitting on the sofa, whispering to each other.

"How come Shield Bro isn't back yet? What's he doing?" Yushu said as she looked at the clock in the living room.

"Going to see Tang Yun, maybe. Now that he's not going home anymore he has to talk to Tang Yin about it." Mengyao understood Lin Yi- he treated Tang Yin very well.

"Oh, wonder if she'd be disappointed? Now that Shield Bro's gonna live with us again, she'll probably faint at the news!" Yushu said excitedly.

"Shu, don't say stuff like that!" Mengyao, for the first time, spoke up for Tang Yun. "Tang Yun's actually a really great woman, she was willing to give up on everything here and go home with Lin Yi, so it's obvious that she really cares about him! It's also Lin Yi himself who chose her, so as we accept him, we need to accept her too!"

"Oh, so Yao Yao, you're saying that you accept Tang Yun as Shield Bro's number two small wife?" Yushu asked.

"What on earth is a number two small wife" Mengyao glared at Yushu, frowning. "I'm just saying that we all might ae able to become rather good friends, at least we wouldn't be poking at each other all the time!"

"How can we become friends with a love rival?" Yushu said curiously.

"Who's a love rival? I told you, I don't like Lin Yi!" Mengyao said.

"Oh, you're lying, Yao Yao sis!" Yushu said,

"Alright, fine- even if I liked Lin Yi… I'm just giving an example, it's not true." Mengyao said. "Then you like Lin Yi too! If you want to be his mistress then naturally the two of us are love rivals!'

"Oh… That might be true." Yushu shook her head.

"Then are we good friends?" Mengyao asked.

"I think so." Yushu nodded.

"Then why can't we be friends with Tang Yun?" She asked.

"But, Yao Yao, you're just saying things hypothetically! You said that you don't like LIn Yi isn't true." Yushu said.

"Yeah, so since it's not true. We aren't love rivals with Tang Yun, right?" Mengyao was a little pleased—she finally beat Yushu at her own game.

"Oh…" Yushu was a little confused. She shook her head, frustrated. "Then fine, we'll be friends with her! I'm fine with it anyway, as long as I get to be a small wife!"

"..." Mengyao didn't know what to say. Weren't her aspirations a little low?
