Chapter 398 — Kang Xiaofeng's Parents' Attitude

Though there was no telling whether that shoddy drug the two of them had cooked up on their own would even work, surely it had given the pair a proper fright by now, hadn't it?

An Liwen's driver respectfully saw Wei Zhao out of the car, watched him enter the villa, and only then drove away.

"Arrow Brand Bro, you're back? Hee hee, Yao Yao was just thinking about you a moment ago!" Shen Yushu rose with a grin and came over to greet him the moment she saw Wei Zhao return.

"Xiao Shu, don't talk nonsense. When was I thinking about him?" Gu Mengyao knitted her brows. "I told you to give him a call and ask whether he'd been taken down a peg!"

"Heh... so do you hope I got taken down a peg or not?" Wei Zhao asked with a smile.

"I..." Gu Mengyao wanted to say that of course she did, because that was exactly what she had been thinking earlier. The very reason she had agreed to let Wei Zhao go to dinner with An Liwen was to borrow An Liwen's hand to teach Wei Zhao a lesson—who told him to try peeking at the wish slips she and Shen Yushu had written today?

But now that her anger had passed, Gu Mengyao found she was no longer quite so willing for Wei Zhao to come off the worse... She would much rather see how Wei Zhao went about putting An Liwen in his place.

"You came back in one piece, and one look tells me nothing happened to you. What does it matter whether I hoped for it or not?" Gu Mengyao said flatly.

"Heh..." Wei Zhao had long since grown used to the young lady's cold exterior and warm interior. He smiled and said nothing more. "Here, watch the video. I'm going to take a shower first—I'm reeking of alcohol."

"You filmed another video? Oh, wonderful, I thought there wouldn't be one this time!" Shen Yushu excitedly took Wei Zhao's phone and pulled up the video file to play...

Though Gu Mengyao said aloud that she wasn't interested, when Shen Yushu started the playback she still leaned her head in close.

Wei Zhao went back to his room to shower, while Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu curled up on the living room sofa watching the video. Seeing Wei Zhao down drinks in a contest with four men at once, Shen Yushu cried out in surprise, "Wow, Yao Yao, Arrow Brand Bro is amazing—he can actually hold his liquor that well?"

"What's so good about drinking?" Gu Mengyao curled her lip. "If Daddy hadn't been busy with business dinners every single night back then, would Mommy have run away from home?"

"You can't put it that way, hee hee. I think the way Arrow Brand Bro drinks is so cool!" Shen Yushu begged to differ.

"Xiao Shu, how can you be such a lovesick fool!" Gu Mengyao scolded her.

"I'm not, I was just saying whatever came to mind... ha, just saying whatever!" Shen Yushu shook her head, a faint blush coloring her cheeks.

Though Gu Mengyao rarely cracked a smile, seeing Wei Zhao handle An Liwen, Su Taizao, and Yang Ganglou like that had her in stitches—especially when Su Taizao spat blood. That dramatic scene was like a shot straight out of a comedy film: not frightening in the least, but positively hilarious!

"Yao Yao, I remember in Flirting Scholar there seems to be someone who spits blood like that, right?" Shen Yushu thought for a moment and said.

"I think there is! A legal advisor or something? This Yang Ganglou is a legal advisor too, and Wei Zhao angered him straight into fainting..." Gu Mengyao had to admit that Wei Zhao's few remarks had been vicious—though only to the parties concerned. Watching the video as a bystander, it was still deeply satisfying.

When they got to the inflatable doll incident later on, Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu were left utterly speechless. An Liwen and Su Taizao really were too despicable! But Wei Zhao's closing line—telling them to keep it for their own use—left Gu Mengyao feeling especially pleased. So it seemed Wei Zhao wasn't all that lecherous after all; he wouldn't even spare an inflatable doll a second glance...

"Yao Yao, what does an inflatable doll even look like? I've never seen one. How about we go have a look someday?" Shen Yushu suggested, curious.

"Look at what? Look at your head!" Gu Mengyao was speechless. She shot Shen Yushu a glare. "How could we possibly bring ourselves to walk into one of those adult shops?"

"Oh... then how about we have Arrow Brand Bro buy one and bring it back so we can study it?" Shen Yushu thought for a moment and said.

"No way. What if he secretly uses it? That's disgusting!" How could Gu Mengyao possibly agree?

Seeing that Gu Mengyao wouldn't agree, Shen Yushu had no choice but to let it drop...

Kang Xiaofeng returned home with a nervous heart, but to his bewilderment, the storm he had been expecting never broke. Before coming back, he had already braced himself for his parents to lecture him one after another.

"Xiaobo's back?" Both his father and mother were sitting on the sofa. Though their expressions were stern, there was no sign of anger, which made Kang Xiaofeng blink in surprise.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back..." Kang Xiaofeng nodded. "I went to the bookstore, and before I knew it I'd gotten absorbed in reading, so it took a while..."

"The bookstore? What did you buy?" His father started, then glanced at the bag in Kang Xiaofeng's hand and asked.

"Some books on business management..." Kang Xiaofeng didn't hide it. Sooner or later his parents would have to know about this, so he might as well mention it now and spare them the shock later.

"Business management?" His father couldn't help frowning. "Instead of buying books related to your studies, you buy business management? Aren't you aiming too high? Did the banquet today set you off, so now you want to accomplish something grand? But you haven't even gotten into university yet, and you're reading business management? Even if you learn it, do you think any company would hire you? And even if one did, wouldn't you just be a lowly clerk? University graduates are nothing but clerks, and you haven't even been to university!"

Kang Xiaofeng's father ran a small teahouse. Business was neither good nor bad, and he knew well how hard it was to make money, so the moment he heard Kang Xiaofeng wanted to study business management, he launched straight into a lecture.

"That's right, Xiaobo. As for you and that girl, your father and I neither support nor oppose it for now, so there's no need to rush off and achieve something to prove yourself," his mother said with some worry.

"Dad, Mom... right now I do have a company that wants me, but I don't have the ability to do the work..." Seeing his parents' expressions, Kang Xiaofeng knew they had misunderstood, and he explained with a touch of helplessness.

"A company wants you? You don't have the ability?" His father started. "Xiaobo, what do you mean by that? You don't know how to do anything, and a company wants you?"

"That's right. Lingtou is getting ready to open a pharmaceutical company and asked me to help out. I don't know how to do anything, so I have to learn!" Kang Xiaofeng spread his hands and said with a bitter smile.

"Lingtou? Who is this Lingtou? Is he that young fellow who went with you today?" His father was taken aback. "He wants to open a company? What kind of company? Don't go making a mess of things. What kind of big company could he possibly open? If it delays your university entrance exams, you'll be the one to regret it!"
