Chapter 3124 — Jingjing's Confession
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Then I'll leave it to you!" Wei Zhao didn't try to stop her; instead he encouraged her. "Jingjing, from now on, making money is all up to you."
"Mm-hm, yes! From now on, Jingjing will be Brother Wei Zhao's money tree!" Han Jingyi smiled, waved goodbye to Wei Zhao, and happily ran back to her own villa.
"Brother Wei Zhao, do you think Han Jingyi approached you, helped you refine pills, and even invented this thing for you—do you think she has some ulterior motive?" Once Han Jingyi had left, Shen Yushu suddenly spoke up.
"Hm?" Wei Zhao was momentarily startled. Shen Yushu rarely spoke to him in such a formal tone—so if she was saying it this way, it must be important. "I can't see it. It's hard to imagine she'd have any motive."
"Right? What motive could a girl who's willing to give her very life for you possibly have?" Shen Yushu shook her head in confusion. "Xiaoshu can't quite figure it out either. Han Jingyi helps you so much and even makes such a miraculous thing for you to earn money—could it really be that she simply worships Brother Arrowhead, just like Xiaoshu does?!"
"Pfft..." Wei Zhao was torn between laughter and exasperation at Xiaoshu's words. "If she were like you, that would mean her scheming runs deep too..."
"How mean! Brother Arrowhead's mocking Xiaoshu for being scheming..." Shen Yushu was displeased.
"It's not mockery. At least you'd never do me harm, right?" Wei Zhao smiled. "I don't think Han Jingyi would either, so no matter what, if she doesn't say anything, I won't ask. She's already given far too much for me..."
"And Sister Yaoyao too," Shen Yushu reminded him.
"Yes. Once things here are settled, I'll make a trip to the Dark Night Palace to visit Yaoyao." Wei Zhao nodded solemnly.
Only then did Shen Yushu happily go back to watch TV.
After returning to his room, Wei Zhao dialed Xiao Jiu's number. Some things, once he had chosen to face them, Wei Zhao would not shy away from. Having accepted both the young lady and Han Jingyi in succession had brought about a shift in his mindset.
Since the people around him had changed because of his arrival, and that change was irreversible, why should he still try to resist it? Better to let nature take its course!
"Eagle?" The Ninth Princess was briefly taken aback when she received Wei Zhao's call.
"From now on, just call me Wei Zhao—or, like Xiao Qi does, call me Brother A-Yi," Wei Zhao said. "The codename Eagle is no longer in use."
"Huh?" The Ninth Princess was rather surprised. "You're not going to keep things strictly business with me anymore?"
"No matter what, nothing can change the fact that we grew up together. So why change it?" Wei Zhao said with a smile. "Xiao Jiu, have you thought it over? About your birth parents and your brother."
"I'm planning to go and see. If the Successor really can cure the illness in my body, then I'd rather become the Successor. Sitting in a wheelchair every day and finding sunlight more and more unbearable—it's simply too painful..." Xiao Jiu said. "Don't change the subject. What you mean is, you've decided to accept me?"
