Chapter 1988 — Who Came for Nothing?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Haha, Yiyi!" Xu Shilan saw Cheng Yiyi too and nodded at her with a smile.
Cheng Yiyi hadn't called Xu Shilan by name — only "Sister Han" — so no one in the airport gave it a second thought, and it drew no crowd.
Xu Shilan also spotted Wei Zhao not far away. She was somewhat surprised that he had come to meet her; she had assumed he wouldn't, since this fellow had never once come to pick her up before — whether she was here to endorse a product or to support Wei Zhao's product, she had always come on her own. So this time, she hadn't imagined Wei Zhao would come to meet her either.
"Wei Zhao? You actually came?" Xu Shilan was overjoyed.
"Mm. You didn't bring a driver this time, nor a manager, so of course I had to come meet you," Wei Zhao nodded.
"Well, this really is a rarity. Then let's go — I'm staying at the Xueshang Hotel; Yiyi has already booked a room for me," Xu Shilan said.
Xu Shilan's words clearly meant she was leaving with Wei Zhao, which instantly made Zhang Duopan lose face. He had just been swearing to Wei Zhao that he had come for nothing, but by the looks of it, Xu Shilan seemed rather warm toward Wei Zhao?
What exactly was the relationship between these two? It didn't seem like a simple matter of being paid help!
"Senior Sister, why don't you ride in our car? We'll go straight to the hotel — no need to trouble your friend here," Cheng Yiyi said, having noticed Zhang Duopan's displeasure. She didn't mind doing a small favor; to her it was no more than lifting a finger.
"No need, I'll just ride in Wei Zhao's car." Xu Shilan smiled slightly and said: "See you at the hotel in a bit."
"Well, that works too..." Cheng Yiyi was also slightly taken aback — Xu Shilan had actually refused? Just what was the relationship between this Wei Zhao and her? Normally, at the company, when attending events, Xu Shilan would in many cases ride in the same car as her; and even when they weren't in the same car, an invitation from her would be gladly accepted. But today Xu Shilan had refused...
Seeing Cheng Yiyi turned down, Zhang Duopan's expression grew even darker... It seemed this trip to the airport had been somewhat superfluous!
Once out of the airport, the two cars drove onto the expressway one behind the other. Irritated, Zhang Duopan didn't wait for Wei Zhao; he floored the accelerator and the car shot off, speeding the whole way back toward the hotel.
"What's the relationship between that Wei Zhao and Xu Shilan? They seem to be on pretty good terms — she wouldn't even do you, her junior apprentice-sister, a favor," Zhang Duopan grumbled in great annoyance.
"Haha, maybe they're just very good friends?" Cheng Yiyi wasn't angry at all; she was busy sending a text message: "The signal here doesn't seem very good?"
"There's probably some kind of shielding near the airport?" Zhang Duopan said. "You need to make a call? Use mine — mine has signal..."
"Thanks, no need. I'm just sending a text to let the people at the company know I've met up with Senior Sister," Cheng Yiyi said with a wave of her hand.
