Chapter 297 — Guan Xin's Thoughts
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Go home early? Is something the matter?" Guan Xin was taken aback. It seemed Grandpa really had no idea that something had happened to her, nor that she had already been sent home on leave.
"Tonight a friend is coming over—the young man of exceptional talent I told you about, so young and already so skilled in medicine!" Guan Xuewen said with a smile. "I want to introduce the two of you. He is not much older than you, about your age, so you two should have plenty to talk about!"
"Oh..." When Guan Xin heard that this was what it was about, her interest drained away at once, and before she knew it, Wei Zhao's figure had surfaced in her mind again...
Guan Xuewen did not see the look on Guan Xin's face. Hearing her give a sound of assent, he took it for shyness and went on: "Then it is settled. After you get back, have Auntie Liu go with you to buy some groceries, and tonight cook a few of your best dishes to make a good impression on him!"
Auntie Liu was the housekeeper at Guan Xuewen's home, normally responsible for looking after Guan Xuewen's daily life and for the cooking and grocery shopping.
Guan Xin was somewhat reluctant, but since this was someone her grandfather held in such high regard, she could hardly refuse to show him some courtesy. Getting acquainted was fine; anything deeper than that she would just as soon forget. Guan Xin's heart was in no state to be thinking of such things right now.
Wei Zhao parked the car on the snack street behind the school. He had barely stepped out when a fierce-looking man came striding up to him: "Hey, kid, you cannot park here! School lets out soon, and this spot is for setting up stalls!"
This fierce-looking man sold stinky tofu on the snack street, and the spot where Wei Zhao had parked was his younger brother's stall. His brother had not come over yet, so naturally he could not let anyone take his place.
Wei Zhao frowned. He had not expected parking a car to come with so many rules. Did this snack street belong to their family? Not even the traffic police had said parking was forbidden here, yet here was someone picking a fight with him.
When Wei Zhao looked up, he gave the fierce-looking man quite a fright. Mother of God, he had stirred up trouble!
"Young Master Lin... it is nothing, park here, it is fine, really fine!" The fierce-looking man had seen it clearly enough that night—how Wei Zhao had taken Zhang Biaogan apart. A man like that was not someone he dared provoke.
Wei Zhao shook his head, finding it a little amusing. A moment ago the man had looked like a demon incarnate, and now he had changed face in the blink of an eye. "So I will park here, then? I will be parking here every day from now on!"
"No problem! Young Master Lin, I will have my brother move to another spot—how could we let that get in the way of your parking! Rest assured, I will keep an eye on your car for you, guaranteed nobody will dare scratch it!" the fierce-looking man vowed, thumping his chest.
Having his brother set up his stall elsewhere was no great matter, but if Wei Zhao were made angry, that would be a serious problem indeed!
Back in the classroom, he was just in time for the last period of evening self-study.
Seeing that Wei Zhao had returned, Kang Xiaofeng immediately hurried over: "Boss, you are back! There is something I wanted to talk to you about..."
"Something to talk about? What is it? Go on." Wei Zhao looked at Kang Xiaofeng, not knowing what he was after.
"Could you lend me two hundred yuan?" Kang Xiaofeng said, a little embarrassed.
"Two hundred yuan? What do you need it for? Do not tell me you do not even have two hundred yuan?" Wei Zhao was rather surprised.
"Heh... I went a bit overboard with my pocket money this month, always going to see Xiaofen and buying her all sorts of snacks..." Kang Xiaofeng said awkwardly. "It is the end of the month, and I am out of money. I will pay you back as soon as I get my allowance next month!"
