Chapter 209 — The Sly Little Shu

"Oh... so it really is here!" Shen Yushu found her ornament. It wasn't the ornament she was really after, of course — she wanted the chance to hint to Wei Zhao about tonight's plan. Otherwise, springing a confession on him out of nowhere would be far too awkward.
"Satisfied? Xiaoshu, now that you've found it, let's go back inside and eat. After dinner there's an 'important' matter to take care of!" Gu Mengyao deliberately put extra stress on the word "important," hinting to Shen Yushu that she should stop thinking about anything else and just wait quietly for her confession.
"Oh... well, if I can't hang it on the front, I'll hang it on the back. No one will see it from the back, right?" Shen Yushu was hardly about to leave. Her eyes darted back and forth around the car's interior — and then, abruptly, her gaze came to rest on the roof of the Beetle's back seat. "Huh? Arrow Brand Bro, why has the inside of my car turned into this?"
Wei Zhao was just as exasperated. This Shen Yushu — on any other day she never gave her car a thought. It had sat in the garage for so long and she'd never once said she wanted a look at it. What was with her today? Poking around left and right, and in the end she'd still discovered something wrong.
Gu Mengyao thought Shen Yushu was up to her tricks again, deliberately dragging things out, and tugged at her hand: "Xiaoshu, don't make a fuss over nothing. There's nothing wrong. Let's just go eat."
"No, no." Shen Yushu waved her hand. "Yao Yao, you didn't see it. Look here... and here — it's all broken!"
Gu Mengyao frowned, taking Shen Yushu's words for nonsense, and leaned in to glance inside the car with some impatience. One look and she was stunned. "Wei Zhao, what the hell did you do? How did it end up like this?"
"I was attacked..." Wei Zhao broke out in a sweat.
"Attacked? Someone got into the back seat of the car to attack you? How did he get in? Did you let him in?" Gu Mengyao clearly did not believe it. This car was not like an ordinary hatchback where you could climb in through the rear doors; the Beetle could only be entered through the front seats.
"Arrow Brand Bro, you have to take responsibility!" Shen Yushu did not actually care in the least whether the car was damaged or not — it was only an excuse to talk to Wei Zhao a little more. "Yao Yao, you go on back first. I want to have a good talk with Arrow Brand Bro about how he's going to compensate me!"
"No. We can talk after dinner. The food's going to get cold!" Gu Mengyao refused flatly.
"I like my food cold. Less chance of esophageal cancer!" How could Shen Yushu let such a golden opportunity slip by?
"Then you talk to him, and I'll stand right here and watch!" Gu Mengyao was not about to let Shen Yushu be alone with Wei Zhao saying who knew what.
"Oh, sure." Shen Yushu put on an air of having no problem with it, as if to say, Watch all you like, and said to Wei Zhao: "Arrow Brand Bro, you wrecked my car. You owe me some kind of explanation, don't you?"
By now Wei Zhao had begun to sense that something was off. Shen Yushu had grown uncharacteristically long-winded today, nothing at all like her usual self. She had never cared a whit for such worldly possessions — she had handed him her computer to use without a second thought, let him drive her car whenever he liked, and even now the key to her family's villa was still in his hand! All of which showed that Shen Yushu was by nature a generous person. Yet today she was clinging to the trivial matter of a damaged roof panel and refusing to let it go!
