"Hubby Wei Zhao, you're not being honest — sneaking out in the middle of the night to see Sister Tang Zhi!" Feng Xiaoxiao said with a giggle.
"I didn't come over until after four in the morning..." Wei Zhao's face reddened at once.
Tang Zhi was awake by then as well, and hearing Feng Xiaoxiao's words, she too felt rather embarrassed: "Xiaoxiao, I didn't ask him to come — he came on his own..."
"All right, Sister Yunyun, I wasn't saying anything. Isn't this nice? From now on we'll each have half the night, and neither of us loses out!" Feng Xiaoxiao said, laughing.
"Mm..." Feng Xiaoxiao's words left Tang Zhi with a pang of feeling. From now on... was there really a "from now on"? Had Wei Zhao found some way to cure Feng Xiaoxiao, or hadn't he?
After breakfast the three drove to school, once again parking the car on the snack street behind the school, and then walked together to the classroom.
Senior year was tense and busy. By the time Wei Zhao reached school, the young lady and Xiaoshu had already arrived; the two of them were at their desks reading. Seeing Wei Zhao and Feng Xiaoxiao enter the classroom, Gu Mengyao nodded to them both. With so many people in the room, it was no place for talk; everything would have to wait until the noon break, when they could ask each other questions.
Kang Xiaofeng, though, looked excited today. When he saw Wei Zhao arrive, he turned around: "Morning, Boss! Morning, Sister-in-law!"
"Morning!" Feng Xiaoxiao answered to the title with a smile. Had it been Tang Zhi, she would surely have blushed — which was why, whenever outsiders were present, Kang Xiaofeng always called Tang Zhi by her name.
"What's got you so worked up today?" Wei Zhao frowned.
"Isn't it that Xiaofen's recovered? I'm over the moon!" Kang Xiaofeng chuckled. "And yesterday I took her to meet my parents. This time they were both perfectly satisfied!"
"Well, isn't that good? That settles things between the two of you," Wei Zhao said with a nod.
"It is! And I have you to thank for it, Boss. If not for you, I'd never have what I have today," Kang Xiaofeng said gratefully.
"Do you actually have something to say, or not, you little brat?" Wei Zhao shot him a glare. "If not, get back to your books."
Wei Zhao had been meaning to talk with Feng Xiaoxiao about the star Xu Shilan, but Kang Xiaofeng would not stop chattering.
"I do, of course I do!" Kang Xiaofeng lowered his voice. "Boss, guess who called me yesterday?"
"Who?" Wei Zhao asked, frowning. He had not expected Kang Xiaofeng to start playing at riddles too.
"Kang Jingming!" Kang Xiaofeng said.
"Him? What does he want with you?" Wei Zhao was rather surprised. So the Kang family had finally stopped sitting still? Were they trying to buy information from Kang Xiaofeng again?
"He wanted to pump me for inside information!" Kang Xiaofeng said. "Kang Jingming asked me one question after another, roundabout and between the lines, but the gist of it was the supply channels of Doctor Guan's Pharmaceutical Company. And he also made oblique inquiries about whether our Doctor Guan's Pharmaceutical Company had changed the formula for its trauma medicine."
"Oh? And what did you tell him?" Wei Zhao had not expected Kang Jingming to be quite so sharp as to spot the problem hidden there. Still, it was no wonder. The Kang family's Golden Wound Medicine contained a great many precious medicinal ingredients, and those were not only costly but also produced in small quantities — supply could not meet demand. That was the main reason the Kang family's Golden Wound Medicine had been running out of stock so often ever since it came on the market!
It was not that the Kang family wished to play at artificial scarcity; they simply could not get enough raw materials, and so could not produce that much medicine.
