Chapter 953 — Role Reversal
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"But you'd best go early and come back early!" Gu Pengzhan added with some hesitation. "After all, these are extraordinary times, and I worry the Yu family and the Xiao family may rally and come back for revenge against Yaoyao and Xiaoshu..."
"Don't worry." Wei Zhao smiled. "General Weiwu is no pushover either. Besides, would they dare come? Still, Uncle Chu, you'll have to pay to fix the villa's gate yourself. No telling when the Yu family's businesses will be recovered."
As long as the Yu family and the Xiao family had sufficient strength, they would certainly strike back in revenge—but probably not now.
"Naturally!" Gu Pengzhan smiled bitterly to himself. Only Wei Zhao would dare say such a thing: kill Yu Bide and still dare to go demand compensation from the Yu family!
Still, his father had been right. Wei Zhao was Wei Zhao through and through. In the end, the passive situation in Songshan City still had to be resolved by him!
It seemed like a single instant, and all their troubles had scattered like smoke. The side that had been weak was suddenly the strong one, and Gu Pengzhan could hardly even adjust to such a rapid role reversal! Just this morning he had been fretting over the future of the Gu family and of his daughter—but now, the ones who ought to be worrying were probably the Yu family, the Xiao family, and Zhao Qibing, who was about to get what was coming to him!
"Wei Zhao, be careful!" Gu Mengyao waited until Wei Zhao had reached the doorway before she finally spoke.
Her tone was as flat and even as ever, but the instant Wei Zhao turned his head and looked at the eldest young lady, he read a deep, unmistakable concern in her eyes.
"Heh... all right!" Wei Zhao nodded. The eldest young lady was always like this—cold on the outside, warm within—and he had long since grown used to it.
"Go for it, Arrow-card Bro!" Shen Yushu pumped her fist. "I've always had high hopes for you!"
Wei Zhao nodded to the two of them, turned, and walked out of the villa. He got into Shen Yushu's Beetle, and the car headed off toward the Geli Fuyun Bar.
An Liwen had stirred up both the Yu family and the Xiao family to go make trouble for Gu Pengzhan, while he himself waited smugly for Gu Pengzhan to call him and beg for help. In his view, with the Yu and Xiao families pressing in step by step, Gu Pengzhan was certain to agree to his proposal!
There was no other reason: Gu Mengyao might not like him, An Liwen, but compared with being married off to the unfamiliar Yu family as a concubine, marrying him was the best way out for her! Surely Gu Pengzhan was no fool—he ought to understand that much!
If Gu Mengyao married him, Gu Pengzhan would not only preserve the Gu Group but also secure his daughter's happiness! An Liwen truly liked Gu Mengyao, so even after he married her and brought her home, he would surely cherish her in every way and never treat her badly!
An Liwen glanced at the time on his watch. Hadn't the Yu family said they would go first thing in the morning? It was already past eight, and there was still no word on whether anything had come of it. From the Xiao family's side, too, no news had come through at all—had they even gone?
At last, An Liwen grew impatient. It seemed Gu Pengzhan could hold out quite well—still refusing to compromise at this point? Fine, then, since you won't compromise, I'll add another log to the fire! He decided to call Zhao Qibing again and tell him the news that Gu Pengzhan was preparing to flee with Gu Mengyao, so that Zhao Qibing could join in the fun as well!RO
