Chapter 2557 — Yu Xiaoke's Worry
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
It was true that Wei Zhao had no shortage of information channels, but why would he pay attention to what she was doing unless something was up? Could it be that...
Yu Xiaoke had once suspected that Wei Zhao was interested in her, that he had taken a fancy to her, but later Wei Zhao denied it, which put her mind somewhat at ease. Still, she could not quite shake her unease. After all, Wei Zhao was someone with whom she had little real connection, and he did not seem the type to meddle in others' affairs. So why was he helping her?
What reason could he possibly have to help the orphanage—and with such tireless devotion? Giving both effort and money—his pharmaceutical company must have already sunk a great deal into it. And he asked nothing in return. What on earth was it for?
Yu Xiaoke simply could not think of any reason that would move Wei Zhao to do all this. What value could an orphanage possibly have? Plenty of people did charitable deeds; even if Wei Zhao was doing good, there was no need for it to go this far. This was no longer mere charity—it was throwing himself into it body and soul.
And then Wei Zhao had suddenly appeared, saying he was here to solve her problem—which only made Yu Xiaoke more anxious. If Wei Zhao was not watching her, how would he know she needed to exchange Swiss francs? It seemed Wei Zhao had been keeping an eye on her all along!
Unless Wei Zhao had people tailing her the whole time, and knew that for days now she had been running between banks and the black-market currency exchanges, asking around about how to convert foreign currency.
But since Wei Zhao had come, Yu Xiaoke had no reason to turn him away at the door. He had come to help her, after all; whatever his motives, she would set them aside for now. If Wei Zhao really could help exchange this foreign currency, it would solve a considerable headache for her.
"I don't know either, Sister Xiaoke. Why do you look so pale?" Xiao Ken smiled bitterly inside. If only you knew that Brother Wei Zhao is the Gentleman Thief, he thought, you would have flown out the door by now.
Still, this was not something Xiao Ken could get mixed up in.
"It's nothing. Come on, let's go out and take a look together." Yu Xiaoke sighed and left the room with Xiao Ken.
Downstairs in the reception room, Yu Xiaoke saw Wei Zhao sitting on the sofa, sipping tea and chatting idly with the orphanage's old director. The director wore a smile all over her face and kept nodding—she clearly thought very highly of Wei Zhao.
"Wei Zhao, you're here..." Yu Xiaoke's manner could hardly be called cold, but it was certainly not friendly either.
"Xiaoke, exchanging all that foreign currency must be a lot of trouble for you. Let me handle it." Wei Zhao came straight to the point. After the orphanage, he still had to visit Ying Ziyu and Chen Xi at school, so his time was tight.
"Mm. How did you know I had foreign currency to exchange?" Yu Xiaoke asked, as though casually.
"I..." Wei Zhao was about to say that Xiao Ken had told him, but then he caught Xiao Ken standing behind Yu Xiaoke, shooting him a look. Wei Zhao froze for a moment, and could only force a bitter smile and mumble vaguely, "I... I heard it from someone else."
"Someone else?" Yu Xiaoke frowned. Just as I thought, she said to herself. If you weren't watching me constantly, how would you know I had foreign currency to exchange?
"All right, let's not talk about that. I'll make a phone call first!" Wei Zhao did not want to give Xiao Ken away, so he changed the subject, took out his phone, and dialed Gu Pengzhan's number.
