Chapter 1240 — Tang and Feng on the Phone: Tang Zhi Fired Off Several Questions in One Breath, Enough to Prove Just How Anxious She Was
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Once she had said all this, Tang Zhi felt it was not quite right either. What was this, as though she had planted a spy at Wei Zhao's side? If you love Wei Zhao, you should trust him — how could you doubt him so lightly?
And yet Tang Zhi truly was curious. Wei Zhao had lived at the Gu family villa for so long — could there really be nothing at all between him and Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu, not the faintest hint of romance?
Of course, this was only Tang Zhi wanting to be sure. If there was something, there was; if there wasn't, there wasn't. Even if she discovered something, she would not breathe a word of it to Wei Zhao, or to Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu.
Tang Zhi had said long ago that she wanted fair competition. Since everything had been spoken out in the open, and they had all become good friends besides, then if Gu Mengyao or Shen Yushu truly had something with Wei Zhao, it could only mean that they were a little better than she was. Tang Zhi would cheer herself on not to lose to them...
As for going to settle accounts with them, that had never crossed her mind. She simply wanted to know her rival and know herself.
"Mm, all right, no problem!" After hearing Tang Zhi out, Feng Xiaoxiao agreed without a moment's hesitation. It was no great difficulty for her, nor did it violate any principle of hers — which was why she was glad to say yes.
But though Tang Zhi had lowered her voice, Wei Zhao's hearing was formidable. Standing nearby, he heard every word as clear as day. Listening to the two young women talk, he found it rather amusing, though he saw nothing improper in it.
It was only natural that Tang Zhi should think this way. Yet she did not dare confront him to his face, and could only go and find out for herself — which made Wei Zhao feel that Tang Zhi really had changed. She was somewhat different from the stubborn Tang Zhi he had first known.
That Tang Zhi who had ground her teeth and sworn to die before his eyes was gone, replaced by a gentle and mild figure.
After Tang Zhi and Feng Xiaoxiao finished this talk, they chatted about a few other things, and then hung up.
And Feng Xiaoxiao, as though nothing had happened, handed the phone back to Wei Zhao, saying not a word about Tang Zhi's instructions.
Wei Zhao took the phone and put it away, and said nothing more either.
The car came to a stop at the gate of the Gu family villa. The sound of it drew the attention of Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu inside; the villa's main door opened, and when Gu Mengyao saw Wei Zhao's car beyond it, the tightness in her heart at once let go.
Earlier, Wei Zhao had left with a grim look on his face, which had given the young lady and Xiaoshu quite a fright, and there had been no chance to ask him anything. The two of them had gone on worrying until now; only at the sight of Wei Zhao's car were they set at ease.
That the two of them should fret over the same boy at the same time — such a thing would never have happened before. Whom had Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu ever worried about before they met Wei Zhao? The two of them had been carefree, going to bed on time each night. Now, though, they sat together in the living room in silent accord, waiting quietly.
"Yaoyao, Xiaoshu, you still haven't gone to bed?" Wei Zhao got out of the car and looked at the young lady and Xiaoshu at the villa door, and his heart warmed.
