Chapter 427 — The Phone Snatching Incident
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
At first Bu Ruoming had assumed that Wei Zhao's failure to wipe him out entirely meant Wei Zhao did not want to tear off all pretense and had his reservations. Only today did he truly understand that Wei Zhao simply did not regard him as worth noticing at all! If Wei Zhao had wanted to crush him, he would have done so long ago—just as with Yan Bo today. So what if he was a Yellow-Rank expert? Had he not had his face trampled by Wei Zhao all the same?
So once he had thought it through, Bu Ruoming was not so afraid anymore. So long as he did not offend Wei Zhao in the future, there should be no problem.
"Brother Ming, the school's planting trees tomorrow—are we taking part too?" It was Yun Lingxi, Bu Ruoming's number-one lackey, who spoke.
"Taking part? Of course we're taking part!" Bu Ruoming felt a surge of pride at the mention of tree planting. In the woods behind the school, at least three or four of the trees had been planted by him! One every year—and to think he had spent three or four years in high school already, counting his senior year and his repeat year.
Other people planted one tree; Bu Ruoming had several. Who could match that, who could compare? Every time the tree-planting came around, Bu Ruoming was especially proud!
Just as they were talking, Bu Ruoming's phone rang again. It was his father, Bu Tiandi. After returning to the company, Bu Tiandi had grown more and more frightened the more he thought about it. He had talked it over with Bu Ruoguang for a while and comforted himself for a while, but whenever he thought of it, he felt uneasy!
So he decided to question his younger son, Bu Ruoming, in detail about what had happened, to see what Wei Zhao really meant! It is easy to invite a god in but hard to send him away—having offended a mighty deity like Wei Zhao, it looked as though this really would not end well!
"Where are you?" Bu Tiandi asked.
"Dad, I'm at school. We just got out. Is something the matter?" Bu Ruoming asked.
"Come over to my company for a bit. I have something to ask you. I'll come pick you up at school now!" Bu Tiandi said. To cultivate a spirit of hard study in Jia Ruoming, he had previously not sent a car to pick him up and drop him off each day—never imagining that this only gave Bu Ruoming more freedom. With no one to see him do wrong, he grew even more reckless.
"I'm going to our family's flower-bird-fish market. Our school starts planting trees again tomorrow, so I'm going to find a sapling!" Bu Ruoming said.
"Then wait for me at school. I'll be right over," Zou Tiandi said.
About ten minutes later, Bu Tiandi drove up to the school in that BMW whose headlight Wei Zhao had smashed. The car's appearance put Bu Tiandi in a foul mood—but having provoked Wei Zhao put him in an even fouler one.
Once Bu Ruoming got in, Bu Tiandi asked, almost unable to wait: "You know Wei Zhao?"
"Know him? He's slapped me across the face several times at school—he's my mortal enemy!" Bu Ruoming nodded. "I had my eye on his woman before. Who knew he was that formidable?"
Bu Tiandi nearly rolled his eyes at that. So his whole family were Wei Zhao's enemies? Zou Tiandi felt an urge to cry.
"We're done for. What do we do now? How is that brat so formidable? Even Uncle Yan is no match for him?" In the past, Bu Tiandi had been full of confidence and domineering in Zaosongshan City, all because Uncle Yan backed him! Although there was only one chance left to call on him, no one could be sure whether Jia Tiandi would let Uncle Yan act, so everyone gave way to Bu Tiandi and did not dare offend him.
