After Being Forced Into a Facial Paralysis, the Villain Said I’m Such a Drama Queen - Chapter 21.1

Lu Wanxing frowned: “I do not agree.”

“Having A-Biao and the others is enough; there is no need for an additional bodyguard.”

The Old Madam said: “A-Biao is a boy after all; there are many matters that are still not quite convenient.”

Lu Wanxing replied: “There is still Xu Xiu.”

“Can Xu Xiu protect you closely at all times?”

This phone call indicated that the Old Madam already knew about what happened last night, but Lu Wanxing still said: “Old Madam, she is just a high school student. What can she do? Isn’t she just coming here to cause trouble for me?”

She could already see that Sheng Xia had too many secrets, and how could the Old Madam not see it as well? When the Old Madam said once more that it did not matter, Lu Wanxing asked: “Old Madam, why do you trust her so much?” She could not understand it.

After leaving their first meeting with Sheng Xia, Lu Wanxing had instructed A-Biao to investigate her thoroughly, but the information they obtained was only a thin, single sheet of paper.

Her interpersonal relationships were simple, and her life resume could be summarized in a few sentences. Half of that single page was about where Sheng Xia had worked part-time and her recent situation; there was absolutely nothing abnormal.

But how could that be possible?

Setting aside Sheng Xia’s agile physical skills and her ability to respond to emergencies, just taking the incident where Murong Hanwen was thrown into a trash can by her resulting in him being unable to find the person for a month there were huge points of suspicion within this.

Lu Wanxing did not know what “female lead halos” or “plot effects” were; she only knew that something was blocking her investigation, showing her only some superficial things.

Last time at the Old Madam’s house, if Lu Wanxing had not kept someone watching Sheng Xia, she would not have discovered that this seemingly weak and innocent young girl possessed such strong strength.

The grandmother did not explain, but only said: “You will find out when the time comes. Sometimes fate is just like that, strange indeed…”

She cheerfully poured a bit of wine from a soy sauce bottle. Before she could even drink it, she heard Sheng Xia say: “Grandma! You are secretly drinking wine again!”

Hearing no sound from the other side of the phone, the grandmother pretended to be calm: “Xiao Xia, what are you saying? Have you hallucinated from hunger? I will go cook for you.”

“Eldest Miss, Grandma is secretly drinking wine!” Sheng Xia came out and reported her directly, not afraid in the slightest.

She had wondered before why Grandma went to buy soy sauce every few days. Only after entering the kitchen did she discover that what was inside was not soy sauce at all, but wine.

The Old Madam had already colluded with the surrounding neighbors. After she bought the soy sauce, she let them pretend to borrow it, and then they helped her “substitute the leopard for the cat” by swapping the soy sauce for wine. This way, she could escape the supervision of the life assistants who checked whether the Old Madam was drinking.

Who would have thought that neighbors borrowing soy sauce would actually involve a series of spy-movie tactics? The Old Madam did not think the taste was strange when she drank it.

Sheng Xia’s attitude toward Grandma did not change because she discovered Lu Wanxing’s identity. If those other people were there, they would likely have been eager to provide cover and deliver the wine.

Knowing that Sheng Xia was concerned about the Old Madam’s health, Lu Wanxing spoke directly: “A-Si will come over this afternoon. You give the wine directly to him.” Clearly, her health was not good, yet she always drank; she was a big drunkard.

Although she knew Sheng Xia was a good person and there were benefits to keeping her around, Lu Wanxing still did not relent. Consequently, when she woke up the next day, she saw through the surveillance that Sheng Xia was squatting at the door carrying large and small bags.

A-Biao followed behind: “Eldest Miss, should I do the same as before?”

The person had arrived at the villa, but Lu Wanxing still wanted Sheng Xia to withdraw in the face of difficulties. She gave a cough: “En, go and explain the rules.” Although she felt Sheng Xia might be different from those people before and would not give up so easily.

As she spoke, she could not help but let out a muffled cough, her face flushing with an unnatural hue. Just because she had been caught in a bit of rain yesterday, she had directly developed a cold.

There was almost no part of her body that did not hurt. This manifestation of incompetence made her mood even more irritable. Unsure of what she was thinking, Lu Wanxing said: “Let Uncle Li bring out all the breakfast.”

A-Biao nodded and signaled the security guards to let the person in.

Lu Wanxing’s villa was not far from the city center, but its land area was very vast. It was about a five-minute drive from the community gate to the actual residence, and the security was extremely cautious.

Different roads would lead to different villas, but the structures of these houses were all the same, similar to a “wily hare having three burrows.”

The house was very large, but there were not many servants inside. Sheng Xia’s gaze swept across, roughly determining the layout.

“Good morning.” Sheng Xia greeted A-Biao upon seeing him.

“En, come and eat breakfast.” A-Biao did not say much more after meeting her, intending to give her a “show of strength” immediately after she finished eating.

“May I ask if the Eldest Miss’s side provides full meals? I usually eat quite a lot.” Sheng Xia put her backpack to one side, feeling a bit embarrassed.

“We can afford to feed you. Go ahead and eat.” After eating, she would have to endure the fierce attack of him, Aisin Gioro Biao, and then voluntarily leave the villa.

He went over the words he wanted to say in his mind, and even rehearsed his manner and expressions, just waiting for Sheng Xia to finish the breakfast in her hand to begin.

However…

One basket of buns, ten baskets, twenty baskets.

A-Biao: “…” His desire to perform, which had just risen, dissipated within these baskets of buns Sheng Xia consumed one after another.

When he saw Sheng Xia begin to drink porridge, he changed from his initial state of being poised to provoke into being dumbfounded. Looking at her small frame, he could not believe she could actually eat that much.

That… that was the breakfast for the entire villa’s bodyguards. How did Sheng Xia stuff it all down?!?!

“I have finished eating.” Having eaten and drunk her fill, Sheng Xia was in a very good mood, sitting there looking exceptionally obedient as she looked at A-Biao.

A-Biao pinched his own thigh to wake himself up from the illusion of the Gluttonous Monster’s obedience.

“There is no need to tell me your name, because you will not be staying for long.”

His tone was stiff and his words were unpleasant. He had said this sentence over a dozen times, and it was very effective.

However, Sheng Xia was neither angry nor did she show any disappointment. Instead, she said with a smile: “En! It is enough that I know what you are called. I heard the Eldest Miss call you A-Biao. Can I call you Brother Biao from now on?”

When Sheng Xia smiled, her eyes curved like crescents, and her fair-skinned cheeks with a hint of red looked very tender. When she looked up at him slightly, her eyes were very cute, like those of a kitten.

A-Biao, who had a “younger sister complex,” was instantly struck, and his next sentence was stuck for a long time.

It was still his loyalty to the Eldest Miss that allowed him to continue maintaining a cold face: “If you want to become the Eldest Miss’s bodyguard, you need to follow many rules.”

“Normally, stay three steps away from the Eldest Miss. Devote your whole mind to paying attention to the surrounding environment and do not think about random things.”

“Do not interrupt when the Eldest Miss wants to do something; she does not like people who talk too much.”

“Before going out, you must check the vehicle’s safety. You also need to identify whether there are surveillance cameras, listening devices, or other equipment. If an error occurs, leave directly.”

“Every morning and evening, you must go to training with us. The specific content will be written in the employee manual. If you cannot persist, leave directly.”

“When attending banquets, you must block wine for the Eldest Miss. If you make a fool of yourself or make other mistakes, leave directly.”

“The most, most important thing is that if the Eldest Miss is unhappy or angry, you also leave directly. Therefore, we bodyguards also have the obligation to keep the Eldest Miss safe while also maintaining her pleasant and happy mood, do you understand?” This last point was entirely his own nonsense, just to make Sheng Xia feel it was difficult.

After finishing, A-Biao gave Sheng Xia a deep look. “Before this, one hundred and twenty bodyguards, eighty-seven nannies, and three housekeepers have already left.” A third of them left directly because they could not stand these conditions.

“The Eldest Miss said that if you want to leave, you can leave now. Whatever salary the Old Madam gave you, she will give you ten times that amount. Plus, since you saved the Eldest Miss, she can help you arrange housing, schooling, and work after university graduation.” You could live a life without worry and would not need to consider other problems.

Previously, there were usually only threats for those who were pushed in. This time, knowing Sheng Xia was sent by the Old Madam and had saved the Eldest Miss, A-Biao added a layer of inducement.

After listening, Sheng Xia understood that Lu Wanxing did not want her to be a bodyguard. If she were sensible, it would be better to leave directly. Furthermore, with these basic guarantees, she could entirely go abroad to see if she could avoid the plot.

Host, let’s go. Don’t take this abuse.Don’t be impulsive! Have you forgotten there is still a male lead outside looking for the Host?

If before she came, Lu Wanxing had explicitly rejected her, Sheng Xia naturally would not have made a fool of herself. It was just that before coming, she encountered Murong Hanwen once, and what happened truly made her feel disgusted.

At that time, Murong Hanwen was leaning against a car posing. A luxury car that was clearly worth a fortune instantly attracted many people’s attention, while he was staring blankly at the alley.

When he did not speak, Murong Hanwen’s appearance was still very attractive, especially with the attribute of being wealthy; many aunties were already inquiring about his identity.

Sheng Xia directly pretended not to see him and walked past quickly, trying her best to disguise herself as a passerby. After all, in novels, being too resistant attracts the male lead’s attention, and being too enthusiastic is seen as having ulterior motives.

But she never imagined that even a simple passing by would be treated by Murong Hanwen as “playing hard to get.” He walked over quickly and said some nonsensical words. The fixed stereotypical reactions of the male lead within this made Sheng Xia want to vomit immediately.

Clearly, the matter of being an assistant at Murong Hanwen’s company had not happened, and the two were just strangers, yet he still performed a natural switch of attitude.

Thinking that later Murong Hanwen’s attitude would change from initial loathing to persistent pestering, Sheng Xia directly called the grandmother to reply that she could start work, and then came over without stopping.

From the male lead’s attitude, one could see the reactions of the second and third male leads later. If even without intersection, the other party would still loathe her and then target her, and finally, three people would fight over her together, life in the future would only be extremely painful.

Being thick-skinned is just being thick-skinned; it is better to go hide at the Eldest Miss’s house. If Murong Hanwen followed the later plot and really thought she was pregnant, insisting on kidnapping her, Sheng Xia was afraid she would be unable to restrain herself from sending the male lead directly to drink Meng Po’s soup.

By comparison, Lu Wanxing was one of the few relatively normal people in the book. Dealing with things as they are, even if she did not want her to come over as a bodyguard now, she would not do anything excessive.

Looking at the breakfast on the table, Sheng Xia felt that the Eldest Miss was actually a very meticulous person.

In her mind, she suddenly thought of the look in Lu Wanxing’s eyes when she helped wipe away the blood with a handkerchief that day. She looked at A-Biao and nodded: “I have remembered everything, Brother Biao.”

Seeing Sheng Xia repeat all the points of attention in a serious tone, A-Biao choked. “When the time comes, you will live in 217. The Miss lives in 215, and I am in 113.”

He sent a message to the Eldest Miss with some frustration. After Lu Wanxing finished reading it, she had a sense of “as expected.”

The person had already arrived at the house, and Lu Wanxing would not just throw her out directly, so she simply ignored her, waiting for Sheng Xia to leave on her own after she had stayed long enough.

Lu Wanxing also knew that her temper was not something everyone could endure. In any case, her attitude had been made clear. At most, she would just let Sheng Xia stay in her room and study well, and not come to disturb her.

“Take her through the process according to normal procedures.”

“Then let A-Si tidy up the room.”

A-Biao: “Received.”

He stood up and took Sheng Xia for a walk around the villa, but he still did not let her approach the core areas. “Normally, there isn’t much for us to do. The Eldest Miss rarely goes out, so we only need to pay attention not to let people who shouldn’t enter come in.”

“As for training, you’ve just arrived, so you might not be able to keep up with the intensity. I will have A-Qi come over to teach you later; you adapt for a few days first.” They were all retired soldiers, and their training methods were very strict; ordinary people could not stand them.

“A-Qi is also a girl. She is currently out on an assignment and will return in a while.” A-Biao thought it would be more convenient for a girl to teach her.

“Thank you, Brother Biao.” Listening to those high standards and harsh conditions along the way, Sheng Xia did not feel afraid in her heart.

She had already taken one step; the remaining ninety-nine steps were all minor issues. Once a person lets themselves go, then eight horses cannot pull them back.

Thinking of the salary slip the grandmother had offered, a blazing fire ignited in Sheng Xia’s eyes.

For the sake of the kidneys, Ganbatte!

When she reached the room and found it was entirely filled with pink, Sheng Xia was directly stunned.

A pink-and-tender bed with gauze curtains fluttering in the breeze, and Barbie dolls placed in the corner; it could be said that at a single glance, it was a princess room that a young girl would like.

At that moment, Sheng Xia’s eyes filled with tears of joy. So to speak…

So to speak, the Eldest Miss still welcomed her coming over? Otherwise, why would she prepare such a good room? Sheng Xia’s girlish heart was simply satisfied to the core, feeling that every detail was something she had dreamed of when she was a child.

Sheng Xia threw herself onto the bed and rolled around, feeling the soft, large bed she had never experienced before, unable to stop herself from making “ow ow” sounds.

As she changed direction and prepared to roll in all directions, she saw Lu Wanxing at the door, unsure of how long she had been watching.

Inertia caused Sheng Xia to fall onto the ground with a “paji” sound. “…”

After it became quiet, she stretched out a hand to pull the quilt over her head. If the space under the bed were wide enough, the person would probably have hidden inside.

Originally, Lu Wanxing had guessed that Sheng Xia always looked like she was pretending to be mature, and the decorations at home leaned toward dark colors, so she had intentionally prepared such a pink-and-tender room wanting Sheng Xia to see her attitude. She did not expect that by a lucky stroke, she had hit upon Sheng Xia’s preference.

Although the quilt covered Sheng Xia tightly, Lu Wanxing could already guess that she was no different from a cooked shrimp. A trace of a smile flashed in her eyes.

Truly still a child.

Knowing Sheng Xia was embarrassed now, Lu Wanxing did not go in.

Hearing the sound of the wheelchair rolling further and further away, Sheng Xia kicked off the quilt and could not help but pound the bed.

Ahhh, why does she always lose face in front of the Eldest Miss?

The time of Sheng Xia’s arrival was just right; Lu Wanxing had to go out tonight, and as a close bodyguard, Sheng Xia naturally had to follow.

Originally, Sheng Xia was not nervous, as she believed in her own strength. It was just that when she sat down next to Lu Wanxing, she felt her breathing slow down.
