Chapter 969 — Feng's Father Seeks Out Wei Zhao
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Huh?" Feng Xiaoxiao had not expected her father to keep harping on this question, and now the question was growing more and more blunt, leaving her at a loss for an answer. Did she like Wei Zhao? Feng Xiaoxiao did not know. Her first feeling toward him had been anger—she had wanted to get even with him, that was all!
Suddenly, Feng Xiaoxiao hit upon an idea. If she pretended to like Wei Zhao, wouldn't that let her taste what love is like? And then when she died, Wei Zhao would surely grieve—wouldn't that also accomplish her revenge on him?
Heh heh, Wei Zhao, you pissed on me and set off firecrackers on my backside—that was an utter humiliation! I've decided: starting today, I'm going to like you. And after you've fallen deeply in love with me, I'll die and see whether you grieve or not!
Of course, Feng Xiaoxiao could not tell her father this scheme; she could only quietly plot it in her heart.
Having worked this out, Feng Xiaoxiao was overjoyed. She could savor the taste of love and accomplish her revenge on Wei Zhao at the same time—two birds with one stone. Why not?
"Xiaoxiao, invite him out. I want to meet him!" Seeing his daughter's expression, Feng Tianlong knew his guess was more or less on the mark. Even if she could not yet call it love, she was at least quite fond of Wei Zhao—and from the look of things, their relationship had already grown rather intimate, hadn't it?
When his daughter had collapsed in the bathroom, she must have been completely bare, and Wei Zhao had been right there beside her. What did that mean?
"Ga?" Feng Xiaoxiao was badly startled and stared at her father in disbelief. "You... you want me to invite him to come meet you?"
"Yes, what of it?" Feng Tianlong said with a smile. "Xiaoxiao, rest easy. I only want to ask him a few things about what happened when your illness struck—how he went about treating you. You know as well as I do that your condition has plainly improved somewhat. It may be that a cure can be found in what he has to say."
"Is that so..." Feng Xiaoxiao was not entirely convinced by her father's words.
"Of course it is!" Feng Tianlong nodded. "If you would rather not arrange it, then I shall go and find him myself."
"Don't—don't go looking for him. Better that I speak with him first." Feng Xiaoxiao was startled and said so in haste. Yet inwardly she was puzzled: only a few days ago she had used that very trick to lure Wei Zhao over, so how was it that her father now genuinely meant to summon him for a talk?
Surely she was not such a jinx? Had her words actually come true? Feng Xiaoxiao felt rather glum.
"That will do as well. I shall be staying in Songshan City for a few days. When the time comes, bring him to the house as a guest," Feng Tianlong said.
"All... right..." Feng Xiaoxiao agreed with no small reluctance. When she had told Wei Zhao that her father wished to see him, it had been nothing but a pretext to get him to the hotel; now it had become reality, which left her rather glum.
She was supposed to be taking her revenge on Wei Zhao! She must not let things take on a different flavor once Wei Zhao had met her father—he would have met the parents, and how could she take her revenge then? Better that she did not end up losing herself in the bargain!
