Chapter 1948 — Utterly Speechless

"And what comes after the Heaven Rank?" Shen Yushu asked suddenly.
"That, I don't know either..." Wei Zhao shook his head.
Gu Mengyao nodded thoughtfully. So then — Tang Zhi and Xiaoxiao would both keep their youthful looks forever? She glanced at Wei Zhao, and a sudden urge welled up in her: to become an Ability User, to become a Heaven Rank master herself!
But she also knew that some things came only by fate, not by seeking — it was not simply a matter of wanting it. Otherwise everyone in the world would be an Ability User.
"Let's stop the treatment here for today. Tomorrow I'll get in touch with Sun Jingyan and examine the true qi in her body, then take a look at Granny Sun's true qi as well," Wei Zhao said. "Uncle Qing, it's getting late — you and Granny Sun should rest early too..."
Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu tactfully went upstairs as well; Wei Zhao returned to his own room, leaving only Uncle Qing and Granny Sun in the living room.
Uncle Qing suddenly felt a little awkward. "I... I'll take the guest room..."
"No need. Since we truly are husband and wife, then let's live together. It's a good chance for you to tell me more about the past..." Granny Sun hesitated a moment, then said, somewhat shyly.
"Yes, yes!" Uncle Qing was not eager for anything else — he was simply overjoyed at being accepted by Granny Sun, and he nodded eagerly in happy agreement.
Seeing Uncle Qing behave like a little child, Granny Sun shook her head with a touch of helplessness, though her heart felt warm all the same...
The night passed without incident. Early the next morning, Uncle Qing and Granny Sun were up early, both wearing faint smiles. Though Granny Sun had not yet recovered her memories, she had plainly accepted Uncle Qing.
The two of them bustled about the kitchen preparing breakfast, while Wei Zhao, Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu watched their figures and smiled with quiet gratification.
"Uncle Qing is so happy! It's the first time I've seen him this cheerful!" In Shen Yushu's memory, Uncle Qing was a meticulous, stern man. Even during that period when he stayed at the villa every day and made them breakfast each morning, he had always worn a serious look — never this beaming...
"Uncle Qing has found his wife — but where is my mother?" Yet a trace of confusion and loss flickered in Gu Mengyao's eyes.
"Yao Yao, doesn't Uncle Chu know about your mother's... situation?" Wei Zhao asked.
"Daddy... he knows, but he won't tell me... He says I'm still young, and there are some things I'm better off not knowing..." Gu Mengyao shook her head.
Wei Zhao was slightly taken aback. Could there be something hidden in all this? But since Gu Pengzhan was unwilling to speak of it, there was little he could say. Every family had its private matters — perhaps something unexpected had happened back then.
After the three of them finished breakfast, Wei Zhao, Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu left the villa and prepared to drive to school. As it happened, the pair of siblings from the neighboring villa came out at the same time — clearly also on their way to school.
"What a coincidence — you're going to school too?" Han Jingyi greeted Wei Zhao and the others.
"Yes, you as well?" Wei Zhao nodded. Toward people he did not know well, Wei Zhao remained rather aloof — especially since Han Jingyi's background made him somewhat suspicious, so naturally his tone was less than warm.
"Is that so? Then how about my brother and I hitch a ride with you?" Han Jingyi said suddenly. "My brother and I still don't know where the economics and biology buildings are, and you two happen to be in those departments..."
"Sure, let's go together then!" Before Wei Zhao could answer, Gu Mengyao had already agreed. In her view, they were neighbors and classmates — and moreover in the same major — so if she could help, she naturally would. It was no more than a lifting of a finger.
