"Yaoyao says she wants to treat you to a meal. Why don't you come over?" Wei Zhao asked.
"Gu Mengyao? Treating me to a meal?" Tang Zhi was slightly startled, finding it rather unbelievable. Why would Gu Mengyao invite her to dinner?
"To show her gratitude, I suppose," Wei Zhao said.
"Huh? Gratitude?" Tang Zhi understood at once—Gu Mengyao was thanking her for calling Wei Zhao earlier and sending him to treat her. But toward the eldest lady, Tang Zhi still felt a certain hostility, so she was not keen on going. "I'd better not. That wouldn't be appropriate, would it?"
"You don't want to come? Then forget it..." Wei Zhao could guess what was on Tang Zhi's mind. Between her and the eldest lady, there would surely still be some friction.
Gu Mengyao wanted to take the phone and speak to Tang Zhi herself, but she could not bring herself to do it, so she shot Shen Yushu a look, meaning for her to speak on her behalf.
"Sister Yaoyao, you see, Tang Zhi doesn't dare come, does she?" Shen Yushu blinked and leaned in close to Wei Zhao's phone to say.
Gu Mengyao was instantly trembling with rage. This Shen Yushu was going to be the death of her! She had asked her to invite Tang Zhi on her behalf, and instead she went and said something like that? Wasn't that just carrying on the feud with Tang Zhi?
Tang Zhi had heard Shen Yushu's words on the other end, and she grew a little anxious at once: "Who says I don't dare come? I'm on my way right now!"
It had to be said that Shen Yushu's goading had worked; in any case, Tang Zhi had made up her mind.
"Let's meet in the parking lot in front of the hospital," Wei Zhao said.
"Fine, I'm coming over now." Tang Zhi had no intention of letting Shen Yushu look down on her, as though she were afraid of them.
After the call ended, before Wei Zhao could say a word, Shen Yushu had already burst into cheers: "Sister Yaoyao, aren't I amazing? One sentence and I tricked Tang Zhi into coming!"
"You! You did trick her into coming, but I meant to thank her. How am I supposed to do that now?" Gu Mengyao shook her head helplessly.
"Once she's here, you can thank her then. I only tricked her into coming, that's all," Shen Yushu said innocently.
Gu Mengyao did not want to quibble with Shen Yushu anymore; the more she did, the worse her headache became. She merely asked Wei Zhao: "Did you drive?"
"Xiaoshu's Beetle. It'll barely fit four people," Wei Zhao said.
"Oh. Xiaoshu and I will sit in the back." Gu Mengyao nodded. "Next time, drive the 5."
Wei Zhao nodded. He had not dared to touch the eldest lady's car before, but now it seemed she did not mind such things at all.
"I want to sit in the front! I'll give Arrowbrand Bro directions—I know a super awesome Western restaurant!" Shen Yushu, however, refused to sit in the back. Who knew whether she did it on purpose, leaving Gu Mengyao and Tang Zhi to sit together.
"You can give directions from the back too," Gu Mengyao said.
"I'm nearsighted. I can't see clearly from the back," Shen Yushu said, shaking her head.
"You're nearsighted? Then we won't eat. We'll take you to get treated right now—we're at a hospital anyway. A little laser surgery and you'll be fine." Gu Mengyao pointed at the hospital behind them.
