Chapter 56
Lin Qingwan was stunned to hear this and stared at Liu Manman in amazement, coldly saying, "We've already talked about this last night. There is a storage room with a few square meters of s.p.a.ce. We can put a bed for him in there."
Lin Qingwan was not a soft woman. A day ago, she might not have taken Ye Fei's side. She would even have pretended to agree with Liu Manman's opinion.
But after what happened that morning, and her videos being erased thanks to him, she now thought Ye Fei was worth keeping around.
"Sister Qingwan, you did say that last night, but as I recall it, I did not agree with you. After coming home today, I discussed it with the girls and they also agree with me. You saw that just now. It would be nice for your bodyguard to stay here so that everyone's safety could be guaranteed, but he is a man and it won't be convenient for us at all if he lives in our girls' apartment. In any case, Murong is a cop, she can protect us. You saw her on TV. So, we actually don't need your bodyguard to protect us. You can rent another apartment on the block for him so he can still do his thing and protect you."
Liu Manman had already thought this all through in advance and laid out her argument so fluently that even Lin Qingwan was rendered speechless.
Ye Fei glared at Liu Manman's self-satisfied face. She was determined to drive him from this apartment.
To be honest, he didn't want to live with them either.
As the saying went, 'if you have three women you have an argument'. With these five women all living together, there was no way that there wouldn't be a whole lot of drama in that apartment on a regular basis.
Ye Fei like a quiet atmosphere and he usually lived alone if he could. He always felt more relaxed that way.
However, seeing Liu Manman's proud and defiant face drove him up the wall. She clearly just wanted revenge for what happened last night and was deliberately putting Ye Fei in an awkward position.
He took a deep breath. Although he was angry, there was no point in quarreling with a narrow-minded woman. "I am Manager Lin's bodyguard; I'll follow whatever decision she makes. However... You need
"Don't worry, I will not be careless with my life." Lin Qingwan waved a hand dismissively. She was also a little angry with Liu Manman. "Manman, we've known each other for a long time. Why are you trying to pick a fight over this trifle?"
"Sister Qingwan, we have all discussed this 'trifle' and we all agree, this man shouldn't live here."
Liu Manman's att.i.tude was resolute. She looked at Ye Fei provocatively.
"You are going to start a fight with me today, aren't you? I've had a bad temper recently; do you really want to fight with me?" Lin Qingwan rolled up her sleeves, like she was actually going to jump into the fray with Liu Manman.
Ye Fei quickly pulled Lin Qingwan off to the side while Mu Cheng and Chu Mo dragged Liu Manman to the other side. If they hadn't stopped them, a catfight would have been inevitable.
Ye Fei was astonished. He thought Lin Qingwan was a calm woman, but she turned out to be a bombsh.e.l.l just waiting to go off. If not for Ye Fei's quick reaction, a war would have broken out between those two women.
Although they didn't really fight, Lin Qingwan and Liu Manman were still angry at each other. The war was still on a hair-trigger.
"Manager Lin, forget it. We don't need to talk to her."
Ye Fei gently pushed Lin Qingwan toward the door. He originally wanted to see how Lin Qingwan would respond to Liu Manman, but he didn't antic.i.p.ate that those two would be at each other's throats like that. Lin Qingwan probably couldn't stay at the apartment anymore, either.
Liu Manman followed them, shouting, "You two will beg at my feet the next time you want to come into this room!"
"I'm moving to a five-star hotel. I don't want to stay in this run-down place anyway!" Lin Qingwan growled back.
Liu Manman's phone started ringing and she grabbed it off the table. It was an unfamiliar number, so she roared into the microphone, "Who is this? I'm busy, I don't have time for this!"
Just as she was about to hang up, the voice on the other end of the line laughed, "Liu Manman, don't you recognize me?"
Liu Manman started trembling. Without a word to anyone, she quickly disappeared into her room with the phone.
Everyone exchanged puzzled glances. Who was this magician who could make Liu Manman instantly forget her anger?
Thirty seconds later, Liu Manman opened the door again. Her delicate face was ghastly white and her teeth could not stop chattering. She bit her pale lips and slowly approached Ye Fei with her phone held up to him.
"It's for you."
"For me?"
Why would someone call Liu Manman to reach him? He barely knew her, anyway.
Ye Fei carefully took the phone. "h.e.l.lo?"
A low voice spoke with barely-repressed rage, like a volcano about to erupt, "h.e.l.lo, Ye Fei. This is Fire Dragon."
"Fire Dragon!"
Ye Fei hurriedly covered the microphone and gave Lin Qingwan and the others a warning look so they wouldn't make any noise.
"Fire Dragon? Who's that? I don't know you."
Ye Fei did not want to have anything to do with him.
"Don't bulls.h.i.+t me. Last night, you broke into my Burning Bar and stole a hard drive from my manager's office. I see you've wasted no time handing it over to the police. Now you have destroyed my life and many of my friends and subordinates are in jail. To avenge myself, I must kill you… and your woman."
