Chapter 2670 — No One Found

"Never mind. I was only asking casually." Wei Zhao shook his head and stopped worrying at the subject.
Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu breathed a sigh of relief, afraid that Wei Zhao might have begun to suspect something.
Still, the incidents of late had left them increasingly uneasy. They did not know whether Wei Zhao would come into contact with more of Tang Zhi's belongings and affairs—and if so, what would they do then?
They had no news of Tang Zhi either. Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu missed her dearly, yet they knew Tang Zhi could not easily call them, and they could never find the time to visit her in Snow Valley—nor could they possibly explain any of it to Wei Zhao.
The two of them went upstairs, both of them anxious.
"Xiaoshu, your idea isn't working so well either. Didn't you say that if we found Wei Zhao a first wife, he'd stop thinking about Tang Zhi? Well, we've found him one, and he's still thinking about her!" Gu Mengyao said helplessly. "If I'd known he'd still pine for her after we found one, I wouldn't have bothered."
"Ah... oh... um... well, that's obviously because Sister Xinyan hasn't agreed to be the first wife yet! Once she agrees, everything will be fine..." Shen Yushu said. "Yaoyao, are you jealous? Do you regret it—wish you'd taken the position yourself while you had the chance?"
"Ahem... what has that got to do with me? I've never had anything against Wang Xinyan." Gu Mengyao shook her head. "I was just talking off the top of my head. Wang Xinyan can help Wei Zhao; there's no way we could let an outsider have that advantage."
"True enough—but your place as first wife is about to be snatched away!" Shen Yushu said.
"What first wife? Leave me out of it. First tell me what we're going to do about Tang Zhi." Gu Mengyao ignored Shen Yushu's question.
"Yaoyao, a guilty conscience needs no accuser." Shen Yushu pouted. Seeing that Gu Mengyao did not want to discuss it, she could only say, "How about we ask Sister Tang Zhi and see what she thinks?"
"And how do we ask her?" Gu Mengyao countered.
"Why not send Kang Xiaofeng and Xiaofen to Snow Valley? We can't go, but they can!" Shen Yushu suggested.
"That could work. It'll give them a chance to see how Tang Zhi is doing—I've been worried about her too..." That was simply Gu Mengyao's nature: she and Tang Zhi had once quarreled bitterly, but now that their relationship had improved, she fretted over her a great deal.
"All right, then I'll call Kang Xiaofeng..." Shen Yushu picked up the phone, and the matter was settled just like that.
Kang Xiaofeng had not expected Shen Yushu to ask him to visit Tang Zhi, and it came as something of a pleasant surprise. Xiaofen and Liu Xinlan had mentioned wanting to visit Tang Zhi when they came to the company earlier, but Kang Xiaofeng had not known how to explain it to Wei Zhao. After all, he was now a vice president of the pharmaceutical company—he could hardly quit and go on vacation for no reason.
Even for a vacation, he would have to clear it with Wei Zhao. Besides, he had just gone on vacation with Xiaofen during the summer holidays; taking another so soon hardly seemed realistic. So Xiaofen and Liu Xinlan's suggestion had been shelved for the time being.
Now Shen Yushu was actually asking him to visit Tang Zhi and saying she could smooth things over with Wei Zhao. Kang Xiaofeng was naturally delighted and agreed at once.
The excuse Shen Yushu gave Wei Zhao was simple enough: didn't she often suffer flare-ups of her "high fever disease"? She needed a certain medicinal herb now, and it had to be bought in person from an herb merchant—a merchant introduced through Wang Xinyan's father, utterly reliable. This merchant also wholesaled many other herbs, so they would send Kang Xiaofeng, the company's vice president, to have a look and buy the herb Xiaoshu needed; and if the other herbs were cheap, he might as well purchase some of those too.
