Chapter 366 — Tit for Tat
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Young Master Lin, hello! President Tian sent me over." A man of about thirty strode quickly to Wei Zhao's car. He showed not the slightest contempt for the shabbiness of Wei Zhao's vehicle; his eyes kept a respectful cast throughout, without a trace of doubt. "My name is Li Yixun. Young Master Lin can just call me Little Li."
Uncle Tian had evidently given him the license plate number beforehand, for he identified Wei Zhao at once.
"Ha, Mr. Li, just take us to the villa," Wei Zhao said politely.
"Young Master Lin, please follow me." Li Yixun nodded. "Shall I get in, or will you ride in my car?"
As he spoke, Li Yixun pointed to a business van parked not far off.
"You get in, Mr. Li. I can drive myself," Wei Zhao said.
Li Yixun said nothing more. He got in and then directed Wei Zhao along the way. Very soon Wei Zhao arrived before a standalone villa by the sea — surely the finest-situated of all the villas.
Yet at the villa's gate stood a sign reading "Private Use," making plain that it was not open to outsiders.
"Young Master Lin, the villa has been tidied and is ready for you to move in!" Li Yixun said, and handed Wei Zhao a business card. "This is how to reach me. If you need anything at all, Young Master Lin, you may contact me directly!"
"All right, thank you." Wei Zhao took the card and put it away.
Li Yixun was a man of few words; he nodded and left. The reason a man like him could be entrusted with important matters was precisely his manner of working — he said no more than necessary and asked no more than necessary.
"Young Master Lin? Leader, you can't really be one of those rich young heirs, can you? Didn't you say you just had a wealthy relative?" Kang Xiaofeng, having heard Li Yixun address Wei Zhao as Young Master Lin, stared at him in sudden excitement. "Leader, come clean — are you or are you not the legendary son of a rich family?"
"Do I look like one?" Wei Zhao smiled wryly. "That brother of yours is the one..."
"Heh heh... hm? Xiaofen?" Kang Xiaofeng had meant to tease him a little more, but when he lowered his head he saw that Xiaofen was already streaming with tears. His heart nearly exploded with fright. "Xiaofen, don't cry — what's wrong?"
Hearing Kang Xiaofeng's cry, Wei Zhao and Tang Zhi turned back as well, and they too saw Xiaofen with her face streaked with tears...
But neither Wei Zhao nor Tang Zhi knew what to say, for this had been expected. Xiaofen had seen Kang Jingming again; though they had not come face to face, even a distant glimpse from afar was enough to shake her fragile heart.
At a moment like this, only Kang Xiaofeng could comfort her; anything Wei Zhao or Tang Zhi might say would only be superfluous.
"Xiaobo, why don't you carry Xiaofen inside and have a good talk with her?" Wei Zhao suggested.
"Okay..." Kang Xiaofeng nodded hurriedly in agreement, then carried Xiaofen at a run into the villa...
"Let's wait a while before we go in..." Wei Zhao sighed, parked the car properly at the villa's entrance, and shut off the engine.
"Xiaofen really is pitiful..." Tang Zhi sighed as well, watching the backs of Xiaofen and Kang Xiaofeng, and shook her head. "I hope that this time she can finally walk out of the shadow for good..."
