Chapter 409 — I'm Coming to See You

But now Zhong Yongliang was filled with regret. Had he known it would end like this, he would have warned Feng Xiaoxiao even at the cost of his own humiliation! Now he was done for. If Feng Xiaoxiao ever learned the truth, the consequences were only too easy to imagine.
"Leader Wei Zhao, you wouldn't do us in like that, would you..." Zhong Yongliang pleaded with a miserable look on his face. Compared to this, he would rather have let Wei Zhao beat him up!
"Two choices. One: kneel in the restroom for ten minutes yourself, then get lost. Or two: I go tell Feng Xiaoxiao the truth," Wei Zhao said.
"All right, I'll kneel!" Though Zhong Yongliang found the idea of kneeling in a restroom covered in piss rather disgusting, compared with telling Feng Xiaoxiao the truth, he would sooner kneel on the floor — otherwise he would die a far more gruesome death.
"Fine, I'm leaving." Wei Zhao had no patience to deal with these two idiots; he only meant to teach them a lesson. As for whether they actually knelt, that was up to their own conscience. Still, Wei Zhao added, "You can try to pull a fast one, but I might just be everywhere."
"Don't worry, Leader Wei Zhao!" Zhong Yongliang shuddered. He had been planning to slap his own butt and walk off the moment Wei Zhao left, but Wei Zhao's parting words frightened him badly all over again!
Thinking it over carefully, Wei Zhao really did seem to be everywhere. Every time he was feeling smug, there was Wei Zhao's shadow stirring up trouble... Zhong Yongliang was somewhat speechless. Was this Wei Zhao sent by heaven to deliberately cross him? He could only say, "Can Xiaofu and I kneel in turns? We need someone to keep watch..."
"Whatever. Ten minutes each, so long as it adds up." With that, Wei Zhao turned and left. Kang ** seized the lunch break to go find Xiaofen. Now that Xiaofen's heart had been unknotted, she had become much more cheerful, and Kang **'s feelings seemed to have been settled; his contact with Xiaofen grew more and more frequent.
Wei Zhao guessed he had gone to discuss with Xiaofen about college in the future, so he did not disturb him. Instead he called Tang Zhi, only to learn to his surprise that Tang Zhi was not at school either — she had gone to the hospital to feed her father lunch.
During the day, Tang's mother had reopened her business at the snack street behind the school, so the task of delivering lunch to Tang Jucheng fell to Tang Zhi. Tang's mother prepared the meal at home, brought it to school, then set up her stall to do business while Tang Zhi carried the lunchbox to the hospital.
"Why didn't you say something? I would have driven you." Wei Zhao frowned. Taking the bus to the hospital alone would cost Tang Zhi no small amount of time.
"I was afraid you'd be busy, so I didn't bother you..." Tang Zhi sounded delighted at Wei Zhao's words. "I thought you were driving Kang ** back to find Xiaofen..."
"Why would I drive him to see Xiaofen? He's not my wife." Wei Zhao was speechless.
"You're awful..." Tang Zhi caught the implication in Wei Zhao's words — if she were his wife, he would drive her? Then what did it mean that he wanted to drive her to the hospital? Did that mean she was his wife?
"Heh, let me come pick you up. I'll check on Uncle Tang's condition while I'm at it." Wei Zhao had nothing to do sitting around at school anyway, and once Feng Xiaoxiao came back, he expected no end of trouble, so he might as well get out of the way early.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you at the ward." Tang Zhi had meant to refuse. The noon hour was already rushed, and she did not want Wei Zhao wearing himself out running back and forth, but when she heard he wanted to check on her father, she agreed.
"See you in a bit, then." Wei Zhao hung up and went to fetch his car from the snack street behind the school.
Tang Zhi put her phone away, beaming, but when she turned her head she saw her father watching her with a smile, and suddenly felt rather embarrassed.
