Chapter 963 — Friends with the Rival?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
After parting from Tang Zhi at school, Wei Zhao went to find Zhen Dazhou to collect the money, and gave Zhen Dazhou the account number Gu Pengzhan had provided earlier. Once Zhen Dazhou had completed the transfer, Wei Zhao returned to the Gu family villa.
The main gate outside the villa now looked brand new; the places that had been kicked in had been repaired, though the cement in some spots had not yet dried.
Gu Pengzhan had not yet gone to the company. Instead he had gone to Uncle Qing's room. Wei Zhao's injuries were healed and his strength restored—could he now cure Uncle Qing? Earlier, when Wei Zhao had lost all his strength, Gu Pengzhan had not felt able to ask him to treat Uncle Qing, and could only bring Uncle Qing along as they fled, slowly letting Wei Zhao find a way.
But now all of that was past, and Gu Pengzhan meant to ask Wei Zhao whether he might be able to cure Uncle Qing.
The young mistress and Shen Yushu, meanwhile, sat on the sofa in the living room, talking in whispers.
"Why is Gum-wrapper Bro taking so long? What has he gone off to do?" Shen Yushu kept glancing at the clock in the living room, counting the time.
"Probably gone to see Tang Zhi. Since he isn't going back to his hometown after all, he had to go and tell her." Gu Mengyao knew Wei Zhao well; he was very good to Tang Zhi.
"Oh. I wonder if Tang Zhi will be disappointed? From now on Gum-wrapper Bro will be with us again—I bet Tang Zhi will be furious when she hears the news, maybe she'll faint dead away!" Shen Yushu said, somewhat excitedly.
"Xiaoshu, don't talk nonsense!" For the first time, Gu Mengyao spoke up for Tang Zhi. "Actually, Tang Zhi is very noble. She was willing to give up everything here and follow Wei Zhao back to his hometown—you can see from that how much she cares for him. Since she is the one Wei Zhao chose, then while we accept Wei Zhao, we should accept her as well!"
"Oh—so, Yao Yao, you'd accept Tang Zhi as Shield Bro's number-two wife?" Shen Yushu asked.
"Number-two wife? What nonsense is that?" Gu Mengyao shot Shen Yushu a glare and knitted her brows. "What I mean is, we could all actually be good friends—at the very least, we wouldn't be at each other's throats the way we are now!"
"How could rivals in love ever become good friends?" Shen Yushu said, a note of curiosity in her voice.
"Who's a rival in love? I already told you, I don't like Wei Zhao!" Gu Mengyao said.
"Oh, Yao Yao, you're lying!" Shen Yushu refused to believe it.
"Fine, then let's say I do like Wei Zhao... I'm only giving an example, it isn't real," Gu Mengyao said. "You like your Shield Bro too, and you even want to be his number-two wife—so doesn't that make us rivals in love?"
"Uh... I suppose it does." Shen Yushu shook her head.
"And are we good friends?" Gu Mengyao asked again.
"I suppose we are." Shen Yushu nodded.
"Then why can't we and Tang Zhi be friends too?" the young lady asked once more.
"But... Yao Yao, what you said was only a hypothetical—you said you don't like Wei Zhao, that it isn't real," Shen Yushu said.
"Exactly. And since it isn't real, then we aren't rivals in love, are we?" Gu Mengyao looked rather pleased with herself; she had finally managed to tie little Shu up in knots, just this once.
"Oh..." Shen Yushu, thoroughly muddled by the circular logic, shook her head somewhat deflatedly. "Then I'll just make friends with her. I don't mind either way—being the number-two wife is good enough for me!"
"..." Gu Mengyao was rather speechless. Your ambitions really are a bit too modest, aren't they?
