Chapter 2424 — An Unexpected Encounter
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Before long, Bai Weituo and Zhao Shengji came running up. Bai Weituo, panting, said, "Come on, Brother Lin, why didn't you say earlier you were treating us? Zhao Shengji and I were lined up to buy boxed lunches — we were nearly at the front, and then we had to leave and wasted twenty minutes for nothing. If we'd known, we could have gone back to the dorm for a rest!"
"It was a last-minute decision," Wei Zhao said with a smile. "You get a free meal and still so much to say?"
Two cars, a Grand Cherokee and a Porsche Cayenne, pulled out of the school one behind the other and came to a restaurant near the campus that looked reasonably well appointed.
The place looked decent enough, but it had no private rooms — probably because, being so close to the school, its price range was on the low side, and private rooms would not have paid off.
The main hall was divided into booths, and Wei Zhao and the others picked a larger one and started toward it. Halfway there, Wei Zhao felt a soft, resentful gaze settle on him.
He turned and saw Kang Jinglong and You Panhu, along with You Panhu's two dyed-haired lackeys, sitting at a booth not far away, eating. Kang Jinglong watched Wei Zhao and Wang Xinyan walk into the restaurant side by side, and his fury naturally flared.
In the past, Kang Jinglong would never have been so angry — he had no grounds for it, after all. The Kang family had always been the weaker party before Wei Zhao. But things were different now. He was the elder brother of the fifth elder of the Xuan Dan Sect's closed-door disciple, and with his self-confidence swelling beyond measure, Kang Jinglong had begun to feel he had nothing to fear in this world.
Wei Zhao, however, merely gave Kang Jinglong a faint glance, without the slightest intention of greeting him, then turned away and sat down with Wang Xinyan and the others in the large booth.
"Damn it!" Kang Jinglong cursed in fury, but for fear Wei Zhao might hear and come over to beat him, he had to keep his voice down. Swollen as his confidence was, and however much he believed he had the backing to match Wei Zhao, he was no fool. He certainly did not think Wei Zhao would refrain from hitting him for cursing just now.
There were many rules in the class led by Squad Leader Bai, but if you were the first to curse and provoke someone and got beaten for it, so long as you weren't beaten to death, Squad Leader Bai would probably not stand up for you.
"Seems Wang Xinyan really does have some feelings for Wei Zhao?" You Panhu clicked his tongue when he heard Kang Jinglong's furious curse.
"It looks that way. Brother You, do you have any good ideas?" Kang Jinglong might have been a doctoral student, but when it came to courting women he was a complete novice, so he could only turn to You Panhu for advice.
"Blondie, you tell him!" For all that You Panhu had no shortage of women, they were all material girls drawn by money and vanity. When it came to actually wooing someone with genuine feeling, You Panhu had never pursued a single one — so he simply left it to Blondie to come up with a plan.
