Chapter 610 — My Employer Is Fierce!

"Ha... I know him." Wei Zhao smiled. "He is just a playboy. Pay him no mind."
"Mm!" Guan Xin nodded, and her heart eased. So long as Wei Zhao had not misunderstood, that was enough. In truth, Guan Xin did not quite understand herself — how had she come to care for Wei Zhao so deeply? He had a girlfriend already; what exactly was it she wanted? Even Guan Xin did not know.
"Have you finished buying your books?" Wei Zhao asked.
"Not yet — I was still choosing when that man named Kang or whatever came over." Guan Xin shook her head. "He said a lot of strange things. I could not make sense of any of it."
"Ha, then go on choosing. I will just browse a little..." Wei Zhao pulled a book at random from the shelf and began to leaf through it.
Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu, having finished picking out their review materials, went to the medical section to look for Wei Zhao — and there they saw him talking with Guan Xin.
"What is he doing?" Gu Mengyao was about to explode with fury. How was it that the moment she took her eyes off him, Wei Zhao was off philandering again? They had only come to a bookshop to buy books — were pretty girls to be found even here?
"Arrow-brand Bro is picking up girls!" Shen Yushu looked carefully, then said, "Very pretty, too — no worse than Sister Yao Yao!"
"What did you say?" Gu Mengyao ground her teeth in rage. "What do you mean, 'no worse than me'? This Wei Zhao — he will be the death of me! Must he chase after every woman he sees, or will he simply die otherwise?"
"Oh, I do not know. Then shall I go tell Arrow-brand Bro to stop chasing women?" Shen Yushu asked.
"You are not going anywhere!" Gu Mengyao frowned. She did not want to scold Wei Zhao outright, either — she would have to find some pretext, or he would think she was making a fuss over him. At this thought, Gu Mengyao swiftly pulled out her wallet and stuffed it down the front of Shen Yushu's shirt. "Hide that. We will say it was lost."
"Oh..." Shen Yushu looked down at her chest, now lopsided with one side larger than the other, and at once grew troubled. "Sister Yao Yao, it is uneven!"
"Bear with it. Once we are home, it will be even again!" Gu Mengyao shot her a glare.
"Oh..." Shen Yushu had no choice but to give a wronged little nod.
"Wei Zhao! What are you doing? Xiaoshu and I went to buy books — how did you vanish the moment we turned around?" Gu Mengyao strained to make her voice sound angry. "My wallet is gone, and where have you been all this time?"
Wei Zhao had just finished speaking with Guan Xin and was about to look at his book when Gu Mengyao's shout gave him a start.
"Who... who are they?" Guan Xin was startled as well, staring in some alarm at Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu — two girls pretty beyond words, yet fierce enough to frighten anyone.
"My employers..." Wei Zhao shrugged and gave a bitter smile. "I have to go back. See you next time."
"Ah..." Guan Xin was rather puzzled. How could Wei Zhao have employers? Was he not in business together with Grandfather? And yet, from the look of it, he seemed to be the follower of two young ladies. What on earth was going on?
Yet puzzled as she was, Guan Xin did not press further — she was not a girl given to asking too many questions. She merely nodded and said, "Mm, all right. Come to my house one day. Grandfather keeps asking when you will be able to come."
"All right, I will find some time to pay a visit," Wei Zhao nodded.
"Then let Grandfather know in advance, and I will have a meal ready for you!" Guan Xin said, a little embarrassed.
Hearing that Guan Xin actually meant to cook for Wei Zhao, Gu Mengyao ground her teeth in anger and thought: how can this girl be so shameless? She is going to cook for Wei Zhao?
"Wei Zhao, I am hungry! Hurry home and cook for me and Xiaoshu!" Gu Mengyao jabbed a finger at Wei Zhao and spoke in a huff.
