Chapter 614 — Yaoyao Wants to Assassinate Me
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"What?" Tang Zhi, too, clapped a hand over her mouth in astonishment, finding it hard to believe. "Ate too much? Stuffed herself to death?"
"Yeah. Though with Shen Yushu, it's not exactly impossible." Wei Zhao gave a wry smile. "I'd better get going. Oh, right — I've already spoken with Director Qin at the hospital, so you two just stay there for now. Otherwise you'd have nowhere to go once you're discharged."
Director Qin knew Wei Zhao by now, and knew his ties to Guan Xuewen ran deep. So since Wei Zhao had asked, even if Tang Zhi and Tang Jucheng were fit to leave, they could still stay on at the hospital.
It wasn't as though Wei Zhao meant to skip out on the bill — he'd already put down a hefty deposit. There was no reason for Director Qin to chase them out.
At the mention of this, Mother Tang's face clouded with worry. Only that morning she had been discussing with Tang Jucheng whether they ought to buy a place first. The houses in the shantytown had all collapsed; they couldn't live there anymore. Luckily there hadn't been anything very valuable inside — the TV and the refrigerator had been bought when they married, over a decade ago, long since worn out; smashed was smashed. As for furniture, there was even less worth speaking of.
But since Wei Zhao had arranged for them to stay at the hospital for the time being, there was no need to rush into buying a house. Better to watch and learn the market first, at least, and not buy blindly.
Though Wei Zhao found the notion of Shen Yushu being stuffed to death rather absurd, he still drove quickly back to the villa district. The moment he walked in, he saw Shen Yushu sprawled on the sofa, moaning without pause, while Gu Mengyao stood to one side, holding her hand and trying to comfort her.
"Yaoyao, I really can't take it this time — why isn't Chewing Gum Guy here yet?" Shen Yushu asked, sobbing.
"Soon. That damned Wei Zhao, glued to Tang Zhi's side and doesn't want to leave? What's so great about Tang Zhi, anyway? She's nowhere near our Xiaoshu!" Gu Mengyao grumbled.
"Ahem..." Wei Zhao broke out in a sweat and gave a dry cough. It wasn't that Tang Zhi couldn't compare to Shen Yushu, but the crux was Shen Yushu's status — did Wei Zhao dare lay a hand on her? She was the young lady's best friend! How could anyone make that comparison?
Wei Zhao thought to himself: if you gave Shen Yushu to me as a wife, I'd keep her at my side every single day!
Gu Mengyao heard Wei Zhao's cough and instantly flushed with embarrassment. She turned, saw he was back, and said, "So you do know how to come back? Look, Xiaoshu's about to die — hurry up and save her!"
Wei Zhao glanced at Shen Yushu on the sofa, saw she wasn't dead yet, and breathed a sigh of relief. But at the sight of her swollen belly, he couldn't help frowning again — he had no idea whether her stomach might have ruptured from the distension.
"Chewing Gum Guy, you're finally back, wuwu..." Shen Yushu burst into tears. "I feel awful — Yaoyao was trying to assassinate me..."
"Nobody's trying to assassinate you. Are you hallucinating?" Wei Zhao turned and looked at Gu Mengyao in bewilderment. Why would Shen Yushu say Gu Mengyao was trying to kill her? Could Shen Yushu have eaten something toxic and started hallucinating?
Gu Mengyao's face reddened. "Just save her already, and stop asking so many questions."
"All right." Wei Zhao nodded, picked Shen Yushu up, flipped her over so her head hung down toward the floor, then said to Gu Mengyao, "Help me open her mouth. Don't let her close it."
"Oh, okay!" Gu Mengyao didn't dare dawdle; she hurriedly reached over and pried Shen Yushu's mouth open.
"Ahh, ahh..." Shen Yushu, thoroughly miserable, cried out despite herself. She thought: why are you and Chewing Gum Guy both trying to kill me? Now you're prying my mouth open — are you going to pull out my tongue? But she couldn't get the words out.
