Chapter 1661 — Treating Him
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Haha, you've forgotten? Back in Songshan City, we were at xx Square?" Young Master You was a seasoned hand at chasing women, and he was very good at spinning lies. Seeing Tang Zhi together with Wei Zhao, he had roughly guessed that she might be from Songshan City — at the very least, she knew Wei Zhao, which meant she had been to Songshan City — so he casually brought up the name of a place there.
Ordinarily, anyone whose memory was not especially sharp would be thrown into confusion by such a plausible-sounding answer, and might even begin to wonder whether they really did know this person, whether they really had met before.
But Tang Zhi had never once been to xx Square. It was a long way from Songshan City No. 1 Senior High School, and before she met Wei Zhao, she had spent all her free time helping her mother sell barbecue — when would she ever have found the time to go play at xx Square? And after she met Wei Zhao, she had never been there either.
So Tang Zhi frowned slightly and said coolly, "You've got the wrong person, haven't you? I've never seen you."
Of course, if this had been some vain little girl, the sight of Young Master You decked out head to toe in designer labels might well have set her climbing straight up the pole, blurting out, "Oh, it's you...", after which the two of them would have fallen into conversation, each taking what they wanted...
But Tang Zhi was plainly not that sort of person. Even if she had not been with Wei Zhao, she would never have done such a thing — much less now that she was with him.
"No mistake, it was definitely you!" Young Master You laughed. "At the time, I told you I wanted to court you and offered you a BMW, and you said you'd think about it... Don't you remember?"
Young Master You kept deploying his woman-chasing tactics — the assault of money! The hidden You family were an alchemist clan, naturally far wealthier than ordinary hidden clans. Most hidden clans had to worry about where their money would come from, scheming to prop up some common clan to rake in cash on their behalf — but the hidden You family had no need of that. They simply sold spirit medicine and made a fortune hand over fist.
"Finished?" Before Tang Zhi could speak, Wei Zhao beat her to it. He regarded the bald man before him with an amused, appraising look. So that bowling ball last time hadn't smashed him into an idiot after all — here he was, strutting about again. Only, Wei Zhao was a little puzzled: was this creature just begging to be tormented?
He had taken a beating several times running, yet he still dared to swagger about in front of him — wasn't he afraid of another thrashing? But when Wei Zhao saw the few lackeys behind him, he understood. So there was an early Earth Rank expert following at his heels — no wonder the fellow had grown cocky again. He must have thought that this time he was certain to have Wei Zhao under his thumb!
"Look here, brother, aren't you sticking your nose in a bit too far? Sure, we've had a bit of bad blood, but right now I've run into an acquaintance, and I'm not interfering with you and your wife — what's your hurry?" Young Master You glanced at Wei Zhao and said, unhurried.
"When you've finished, you can roll along. Shall I send you off with a double-bang firecracker and give you a little trip into space? Or would you rather play flying acrobat?" Wei Zhao ignored Young Master You's words and warned him outright.
"You..." Young Master You was so taken aback that he laughed. "I say, aren't you a bit too full of yourself? Kid, this is the hidden Tang family's territory. Since you're able to be here, you must be a guest of the hidden Tang family, no? I don't want to blow this up into something big — don't go not knowing what's what!"
