Chapter 409 — I'm Coming to See You
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
As for the Tang family, Tang's father and mother had long since stopped opposing Wei Zhao's forceful entry into their lives. Tang Jucheng could undergo this surgery at all only thanks to Wei Zhao; if Wei Zhao had not put up the money, he would still be lying at home.
"Was that Wei Zhao?" Tang Jucheng asked.
"Mm... he says he's coming to see you..." Tang Zhi had known before that Wei Zhao practiced medicine, but she had assumed he only knew a thing or two. After what happened yesterday, though — that fatso Lai kneeling on the ground sobbing until he could barely breathe, Liu Tianyi's fawning over Wei Zhao, and Guan Xuewen's respect for him — Tang Zhi had been utterly stunned!
Even after she reached the hospital, she could not calm her surging emotions for a long time.
It seemed she had still underestimated Wei Zhao. He was not the domineering rich boy she had imagined, throwing his weight around on the strength of his family's money. Wei Zhao's arrogance rested entirely on his own abilities!
If Wei Zhao did not truly have skill, how could he command the respect and recognition of so many people? Fatso Lai might not know the full story — perhaps he had simply lost his head. But Liu Tianyi and Guan Xuewen — surely they had not lost their heads too?
It seemed Wei Zhao's medical skill was no mere smattering of knowledge, but something truly astonishing! Even as Tang Zhi felt proud of Wei Zhao, that fragile young heart of hers also felt a small flutter of uncertainty.
Wei Zhao was so outstanding—was she really good enough for him? Would he cast her aside one day? Her family had no money and could offer him no help; the only thing she had going for her was that she was a little pretty...
But there were plenty of pretty girls out there. Why had Wei Zhao chosen her? Tang Zhi did not want to dwell on such things—they were still young, marriage was a long way off—but seeing how exceptional Wei Zhao was, she could not help turning these matters over in her mind...
Wei Zhao headed for the food street behind the school to pick up his car. These days the vendors there set aside a parking space for him every day—who would dare cross a young master like that?
Mother Tang's business was booming as well. This time no one dared to be jealous anymore; to be jealous now was simply to court death! Everyone, including Zhang Biaogan, who had kicked up the biggest fuss before, was polite as could be to Mother Tang. She had not come to set up her stall for several days, yet no one dared take her spot. The moment she arrived, they all greeted her warmly and asked why she had been absent for so long.
Mother Tang was overwhelmed by the reception, and in her heart she grew all the more grateful to Wei Zhao. Her family had finally come alive again! She was sure things would only get better. Her business had turned around, her man had had his surgery, and she believed it would not be long before he was on his feet again. Even if he could not walk properly, a slight limp did not matter—he could still come and lend her a hand...
Thinking of how full of hope her future was, Mother Tang's face was wreathed in smiles, and she seemed to have grown several years younger, which drew looks of admiration from every one of the male vendors.
Anyone could tell from Tang Zhi's beauty how lovely Mother Tang must have been in her youth. Still, no one dared make lewd remarks to her—everyone knew she had a hoodlum's son-in-law!
