Chapter 723 — There's Official Business to Discuss
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"I... I really did pin it..." The boss's heart went cold. Had he been exposed just like that? How was he supposed to do business after this?
"I don't care whether you pinned it or not—just give me my money back, now! I've spent thirty yuan at your stall. Hand it over!" The young man was growing impatient; he no longer wanted to hear the boss's explanations.
"Fine, fine, I'll refund you right now..." The boss wanted to smooth things over. After all, how could he possibly stand up to a fitness instructor?
"We want refunds too! Give us our money back—I played here yesterday..."
"And me—I played here the day before yesterday..."
"I played here half a year ago. Refund me too..."
The boss collapsed on the spot, foam frothing at his mouth. His cash box was cleaned out by the crowd, and those who hadn't grabbed any money started grabbing his plush toys and prizes. In an instant, nothing was left of the stall...
When the boss came to, he found he had nothing left at all! But who could he blame? Who told him to run his business without a shred of honesty?
Wei Zhao, of course, had no idea how badly the boss had fared after he left—and even if he had known, he wouldn't have cared. What did it have to do with him? By now Wei Zhao had accompanied the young lady and Little Shu to the fried mushroom stall.
"This kind of stuff isn't healthy. You'd best not eat it..." Seeing Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu eating with such relish, Tang Zhi could not help but speak up in warning: "If you want to eat it, you can make it yourselves at home."
"That's right—Arrowbrand Bro, can you make fried mushrooms?" Shen Yushu thought it over and agreed. Food from outside was never clean; who knew whether the mushrooms had been washed, or whether the oil was gutter oil?
"I should be able to..." Wei Zhao had watched the boss prepare them once, and that was enough for him to learn.
"Then from now on you can make them for us, and we won't come out to eat them anymore!" Shen Yushu was overjoyed. At last she could enjoy delicious fried mushrooms at home.
Tang Zhi rubbed her smooth forehead, somewhat annoyed at herself. She really had gone looking for trouble where there was none—she had only made more work for Wei Zhao!
Now that she knew Wei Zhao could make fried mushrooms, Shen Yushu had no desire to keep eating. If she could have them every day from now on, there was no need to stuff herself sick in one sitting.
After finishing the fried mushrooms, Wei Zhao saw that it was about time, and offered to take Tang Zhi back to the hospital.
With the young lady and Shen Yushu present, Wei Zhao could hardly do anything with Tang Zhi; the four of them together made things a little awkward.
Tang Zhi naturally felt much the same as Wei Zhao, so upon hearing his suggestion, she agreed.
Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu were, after all, following Wei Zhao's lead. They had returned home loaded with spoils today, their haul quite plentiful, and they no longer wished to keep shopping. They had school tomorrow; if they slept too late, they wouldn't be able to get up.

Chen Yuxuan and Qiu Lingshan left An Liwen's hospital room. Qiu Lingshan frowned: "That friend of yours is a little strange. There seems to be something more behind his kidney being cut out..."
"I hadn't been in touch with him for many years either. If I hadn't come back this time on business, I wouldn't have contacted him at all." Chen Yuxuan shook his head. "Still, the An family's strength has not been weak these past years—they've quietly become the most formidable of the Five Minor Houses..."
"They just built their fortune on crooked, unorthodox means. Sooner or later, someone will deal with them!" Qiu Lingshan said flatly.
"Heh heh, how about we grab a meal together—do you have time?" Once out of the hospital, Chen Yuxuan asked Qiu Lingshan.
