Chapter 597 — The Dejected Young Lady

"Oh, oh, now we can squeeze through the fence for fun whenever we want!" Shen Yushu added eagerly, right on the heels of his words.
"..." Wei Zhao nearly drove the car straight into the drainage ditch at the roadside.
"From now on, whenever you and Tang Zhi get intimate, you have to report it to me in advance!" Gu Mengyao said, for reasons she herself could not quite explain.
"Uh... surely that's not necessary? I have a private life too, you know..." Wei Zhao broke into a cold sweat.
"Of course it is!" Gu Mengyao said firmly. "What if you're with Tang Zhi and I'm in danger over here, and you can't pull yourself away? You have to report it in advance!"
"***?" Wei Zhao managed a wry smile. "That too?"
"Of course! First, to keep an eye on your private life. Yushu and I are both such pure, innocent people — if your private life turns out to be too decadent, I'll have to consider firing you!" Gu Mengyao said with a perfectly straight face.
"All right..." Wei Zhao nodded. The young lady was in a foul mood today, and Wei Zhao had no desire to provoke her. Better to just agree first and sort it out later.
"Then Sis Yaoyao, are we still going home to play three-way?" Shen Yushu asked, a little disappointed to see Gu Mengyao backing out at the last moment.
"Play? What play?" Gu Mengyao glared at Shen Yushu. "Why are you so eager to play? Go play by yourself!"
"I can't very well play by myself!" Shen Yushu said, looking troubled. "Sis Yaoyao doesn't keep her word."
"All right, Yushu, stop talking about it. You're still too young to play like that. When you grow up, then you can — okay?" Gu Mengyao felt a headache coming on from Shen Yushu's antics.
"Oh, okay then! When I grow up, you'll play with me?" Shen Yushu finally broke into a smile.
"Deal!" Gu Mengyao replied, rendered almost speechless.
Wei Zhao could only smile ruefully. This was one conversation he certainly had no business jumping into.
"Is Uncle Chu at home?" Wei Zhao steered the conversation in a new direction, having absolutely no idea how to engage with the previous topic.
"Daddy invited you to dinner, and you've made him wait over ten hours!" Gu Mengyao pointed out the car window. "It's almost dawn!"
"Heh, I really am sorry about that. I'll explain when we get back." Wei Zhao offered an apologetic smile.
"Hmph!" Gu Mengyao snorted. "Drive faster. There's still a banquet waiting at home."
Wei Zhao said nothing, but he did press down on the accelerator. Gu Mengyao's Audi S5 was quick off the line to begin with — it was, after all, a sports car — and in the dead of night with hardly another vehicle on the road, Wei Zhao pushed the car straight up to its limit in an instant.
"Ah!" Gu Mengyao hadn't seen it coming and jumped in fright.
Shen Yushu, by contrast, was flailing her arms and legs with glee. "Oh, this is awesome! Roller coaster..."
"..." Gu Mengyao was at a loss for words. Was there simply no fear gene in Shen Yushu's nervous system? Did she not understand the meaning of terror?
Before long, Wei Zhao had parked the car in front of Gu Mengyao's villa. Hearing the engine at the gate, Gu Pengzhan and Uncle Qing both came rushing out. Earlier, Uncle Qing and Gu Pengzhan had followed as far as Fatso Lai's villa, waited a while, then phoned Gu Mengyao to confirm the severity of Wei Zhao's injuries before heading back home to wait.
After all, it would hardly have been appropriate for Gu Pengzhan to wait around at Fatso Lai's house.
"Xiao Yi, you're all right?" Gu Pengzhan stared in some surprise at Wei Zhao, who had just stepped down from the driver's seat. Gu Mengyao had said Wei Zhao's injuries were severe, that he had even coughed up blood — yet now, apart from a vivid patch of blood on his shirt, Wei Zhao's face was ruddy and healthy. He did not look injured at all.
