Chapter 718 — Make Him Wish He Were Dead
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Tang Zhi wanted to say something, but with Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu both present, she could hardly speak up, and so she let Wei Zhao do as he pleased. Still, she consoled herself: it was compensation for her father's medical expenses, so she felt no burden keeping it. Otherwise, taking yet another sum of Wei Zhao's money would only deepen her debt to him...
"Oh, Arrow-Brand Bro, weren't you going to make him wish he were dead? Why save him?" Shen Yushu asked.
"Isn't making him wish he were dead just saving his life?" Wei Zhao smiled.
"Hahahaha…" Shen Yushu burst into delighted laughter. "Brother Arrowhead, you're so wicked! Just like me!"
"Not as wicked as you." Wei Zhao shrugged. When it came to messing with people, Shen Yushu outdid him by a mile.
Tang Zhi and Gu Mengyao could barely keep straight faces either. The young miss had little notion of money, but she was still rather startled that Wei Zhao had talked three million out of the man the moment he opened his mouth. So Wei Zhao was that formidable? He could conjure up that much money just like that?
And from his expression, he did not seem to regard the money as anything at all. Gu Mengyao grew a little nervous. She herself was forever threatening to dock his wages. In his eyes, must that seem rather ridiculous?
Still, Gu Mengyao grew more and more puzzled as to why Wei Zhao had come to her side to serve as a lackey. With his skills and his methods, there was no need at all for him to work for her for a salary of thirty thousand… Where on earth had Daddy found such a capable man?
"Yaoyao, Xiaoshu, where are you headed now?" Wei Zhao turned and asked. "Tang Zhi and I are going to Night Market Street to buy a few things."
"We'll come too, right, Sister Yaoyao?" Shen Yushu winked at Gu Mengyao.
"We…" Gu Mengyao was rather tempted to go.
"I want fried mushrooms! Sister Yaoyao, keep me company, would you?" Shen Yushu took Gu Mengyao's hand.
"All right, all right, we'll go together then." Gu Mengyao nodded.
Tang Zhi pursed her lips, a little displeased. How was it that she and Wei Zhao were going on a date, and these two had to tag along? But Tang Zhi could say nothing about it. The young miss had just treated them all; was she to turn around and shoo them off? That would be rather ungracious.
Wei Zhao said nothing more either. If the young miss wanted to come, let her come. He started the car and drove off in the direction of Night Market Street.
Along the way, Tang Zhi received a phone call. It was from her mother.
"Mom? Is something the matter?" Tang Zhi did not know why her mother would call at such a time. Did she not know that Tang Zhi had gone out with Wei Zhao? Usually, when she and Wei Zhao were on a date, her mother rarely disturbed them.
"Yun'er, I just got a text message on my phone saying three million has been deposited? What's going on? It's not a scam message, is it?" Tang's mother did not quite understand mobile banking. Earlier, when Wei Zhao's card had been crushed underneath the house, she and Wei Zhao had gone to the bank together to open a new one, this time under her name. At the time, opening mobile banking came with a free jug of soybean oil, and given Tang's mother's fondness for a bargain, she had naturally signed up on the spot.
