Chapter 579 — Spy Shu 007
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
If Wei Zhao had truly loved Tang Zhi, then even if she were no longer beautiful, he would not simply wash his hands of the matter. But if it was only her looks that he had ever wanted, then he would most likely look the other way and do nothing at all.
Mother Tang understood her daughter's thoughts as well, and could not help but sigh. It seemed that whether Wei Zhao would stand by her daughter was now a matter for fate alone...
Seeing how firm Tang Zhi was, Liu Xinlan found she could not refuse. She picked up the phone again and dialed Wei Zhao's number...
The last class of the afternoon was a study period. Gu Mengyao was concentrating on a review guide for the college entrance exams when Shen Yushu leaned over and whispered, "Sister Yaoyao, I've got good news and bad news for you. Which do you want to hear first?"
"Whatever..." Gu Mengyao said mildly.
"Sister Yaoyao, how can you react so flatly..." Shen Yushu was a little disappointed that Gu Mengyao seemed uninterested.
"Your good news and your bad news are basically the same thing, so it makes no difference which I hear first." After all these years, Gu Mengyao knew Shen Yushu very well. Her so-called good news and bad news were almost always ordinary news, just exaggerated a little. Gu Mengyao had been fooled into excitement a few times before, but now she took it all in stride.
"This news is different — it's about Chewing Gum Bro!" Shen Yushu said in a low, mysterious voice.
"Oh?" Gu Mengyao's eyebrows lifted almost imperceptibly, but then she said, still mildly, "What about Wei Zhao? What good news could there be about him?"
"Hehe." Seeing that Gu Mengyao was interested, Shen Yushu smiled and went on: "The good news is, I heard Wei Zhao and Tang Zhi broke up. Sister Yaoyao, you've got a chance now!"
Gu Mengyao looked speechless, but inside, was she a little happy? Was it happiness? She could not quite say: "How is that good news? If anyone has a chance, it's you — you've kissed him, and he's even seen you with no clothes on."
"I'd like to, but the first wife hasn't made her move yet, so the little wife can't go jumping the gun, can she?" Shen Yushu said carelessly. "You've kissed him too — indirectly, though!"
"...Let's not talk about that." Gu Mengyao did not want to bring it up, though somehow that feeling of disgust had faded without her noticing. Thinking back on how violently she had reacted at the time, she actually felt a faint sweetness now. "So what's the bad news?"
"That Feng Xiaoxiao — she seems to be Chewing Gum Bro's new girlfriend!" Shen Yushu said.
"How do you know? Where did you get that? Why didn't I know?" Gu Mengyao was puzzled.
"Don't forget, I'm Spy Shu 007!" Shen Yushu said smugly. "One little inquiry and I had it."
Gu Mengyao could not help but laugh. "Spy Shu? More like Cheap Shu, isn't it? Look at your face — you're just dying to have Wei Zhao, aren't you?"
"Me, like him? It's obviously Sister Yaoyao who likes him. As the little wife, I can only train myself to like him too," Shen Yushu said.
"...Hmph." Gu Mengyao glanced at Shen Yushu, then fixed her eyes back on the review guide in front of her — though for a long while she did not turn another page...
Shen Yushu, meanwhile, pulled out a workbook and began flipping through it at speed, now and then scribbling and underlining with her pen...
Gu Mengyao frowned. Her best friend's state of mind really was beyond ordinary understanding.
Wei Zhao had planned to skip the evening lecture and go see Tang Zhi's family. Just then the phone in his pocket buzzed. He took it out and saw, to his surprise, that it was Liu Xinlan calling.
"Hello?" Wei Zhao answered.
