Chapter 2423 — An Invitation to Dinner

Besides, he had arranged with You Panhu to go and scout out the natural ski resort in Jidun City first, so he left the classroom together with You Panhu.
"Brother Wei Zhao, are you trying to fleece You Panhu of his herbs again?" Han Jingyi asked once they were outside the classroom.
"That's right. We have no herbs of our own to speak of, so we can only get them from You Panhu," Wei Zhao said. "Since the fellow is delivering himself to our door, there is no reason to let him off."
"Oh. Then how should Jingjing cooperate?" Han Jingyi nodded, showing not the slightest inclination to dispute Wei Zhao's proposal.
"The next time he comes to talk to you, whatever he asks, just say you're short of herbs. Every time he comes, pester him for herbs — until he realizes he's been played and stops falling for it," Wei Zhao said.
"Mm-hm, got it." Han Jingyi nodded in agreement. "But after You Panhu realizes he's been tricked, he won't come making trouble for Jingjing, will he?"
"If he gives you trouble, just tell him straight that I put you up to it and have him come to me." Wei Zhao took the trouble onto his own shoulders; he was not afraid of You Panhu.
"Jingjing understands." Han Jingyi nodded and said.
The medical program had no classes this afternoon, but Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu did. Wei Zhao called Gu Mengyao and asked her to have lunch with him at noon.
He walked with Han Jingyi to the building of the economics department, and before long he caught sight of Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu.
Seeing the same old smile on Shen Yushu's face, Wei Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed Xiaoshu's troubles had been resolved. Only, Wei Zhao still could not figure out who had set Xiaoshu to assassinate him.
Who could have made Xiaoshu do such a thing? Or, to put it another way, what reason could have made Xiaoshu comply? But Xiaoshu did not wish to speak of it, and Wei Zhao could not press her. So long as she seemed all right now, Wei Zhao was content.
Wei Zhao glanced at Gu Mengyao, and Gu Mengyao nodded to him, signaling that Xiaoshu was perfectly normal.
"What shall we have for lunch?" Wei Zhao asked. "The cafeteria, or somewhere out?"
"Let's eat out. Xiaoshu wants a proper feast," Shen Yushu said after a moment's thought.
Today's affair had been muddled through, giving Xiaoshu the feeling of having survived a great disaster — and above all, she would no longer have to move against Wei Zhao, which delighted her no end. So she wanted a grand meal to celebrate.
"All right, then let's go out for a feast." Wei Zhao nodded readily in agreement.
"Shall we invite Sister Xinyan too?" Shen Yushu suggested.
"I'll ask." If they were eating in the school cafeteria, Wei Zhao naturally would not have invited Wang Xinyan, but since they were going out, it was better to ask. He dialed Wang Xinyan's number and asked, "Xinyan, where are you? Jingjing, Yaoyao, Xiaoshu and I are thinking of going out to eat — will you join us?"
"Me..." Wang Xinyan hesitated at once. On any other day she would certainly have agreed — after all, she was on good terms with Wei Zhao, Yaoyao and Xiaoshu, and Han Jingyi was her classmate too. There was simply no way she could refuse.
