Chapter 1241 — Releasing the News Ahead of Time

"Yao-yao, didn't we search for it ages ago? We've been sitting in the living room ever since, haven't we?" Shen Yushu punctured Gu Mengyao's words without the least mercy — as she often did.
"We just rested a while after that." Gu Mengyao shot Shen Yushu a glare and yawned.
"Heh. Let me introduce a guest — she'll be staying here tonight." As he spoke, Wei Zhao opened the passenger door and helped Feng Xiaoxiao out.
Feng Xiaoxiao had not dared get out of the car earlier; she had no idea whether Gu Mengyao would welcome her.
"A guest?" The young mistress was briefly taken aback, but when she saw Feng Xiaoxiao climb out of the car, a smile spread across her face. "Xiaoxiao, why didn't you get out earlier? Welcome!"
"Welcome, welcome — a warm welcome!" Shen Yushu clapped her hands in delight as well.
With Feng Xiaoxiao installed in the villa as a playmate, the days ahead would certainly not be lonely.
Neither Gu Mengyao nor Shen Yushu had ever truly regarded Feng Xiaoxiao as an enemy.
Because of Feng Xiaoxiao's physical condition, Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu had accepted her long ago. However well Wei Zhao treated Feng Xiaoxiao, she could never become their rival in love; even Tang Zhi had accepted her, so how could Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu possibly treat her badly?
Besides, after a period of contact, Gu Mengyao had discovered that Feng Xiaoxiao was very easy to get along with, that they all had great fun together — and so she accepted her from the bottom of her heart.
Shen Yushu felt this even more strongly. The Troublemaking Duo was no idle name: the two of them together could sweep the whole jianghu, tormenting whoever crossed their path.
"Xiaoxiao's father made an enemy — an international criminal gang. I was afraid they wouldn't give up and would come after Xiaoxiao again, so I simply brought her to the villa," Wei Zhao explained. "And you all know about Xiaoxiao's illness. This way, when she has an attack, I can deal with it in time."
"That's good, then. The villa's big anyway — we'll just clear out a room, and it'll be livelier from now on." Gu Mengyao smiled and nodded at Feng Xiaoxiao.
Shen Yushu, however, ran over happily and pulled Feng Xiaoxiao into the villa.
Wei Zhao had known all along that both Gu Mengyao and Xiaoshu were kind-hearted people, so there should be no resistance at all to Feng Xiaoxiao moving into the villa.
He parked the car in the garage and returned to the villa, only to find Feng Xiaoxiao already sitting around the sofa with Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu, searching for something on a tablet — clearly news about Xu Shilan.
"Go to bed early. You've still got school tomorrow," Wei Zhao said, glancing at the three of them.
"Wei Zhao, are you sleeping with Xiaoxiao, or is Xiaoxiao sleeping with us?" Gu Mengyao looked at Wei Zhao and asked.
"That..." Wei Zhao was suddenly rather embarrassed. To live with Feng Xiaoxiao right under the young mistress's and Xiaoshu's noses — somehow it felt awkward no matter how he looked at it.
"Yao-yao, Xiaoshu, why don't I sleep with you two? You won't mind me, will you?" Feng Xiaoxiao was naturally too embarrassed to sleep with Wei Zhao as well. If it were just the two of them, that would be one thing, but this was someone else's home — how could she be so bold?
"Of course not. The bed upstairs is huge — two meters. Even Tang Zhi could fit when she comes." Gu Mengyao smiled. For some reason she felt an inexplicable loosening in her heart. Was it because Wei Zhao wasn't sleeping with Feng Xiaoxiao? Gu Mengyao herself didn't know.
"It's getting late, so go take your showers and get to bed." Wei Zhao nodded, said nothing more, and went back to his own bedroom.
After her shower, Feng Xiaoxiao came to Gu Mengyao's bedroom wearing Shen Yushu's pajamas.
She had expected it to be very awkward, but once inside the room she found it warm and cozy.
