Chapter 99 — The Car Accident Brouhaha
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Arrowhead's gone over there—shall we take a look?" Shen Yushu figured that wherever Wei Zhao went, something amusing was bound to happen, so she grabbed Gu Mengyao's hand and made to follow him.
"I'm not going! If you want to go, go by yourself!" Gu Mengyao's temper toward Wei Zhao had not cooled in the slightest, and seeing him stick his nose into other people's business again naturally put her in a foul mood.
"Oh... never mind then. Let's go buy clothes." Shen Yushu cast one reluctant glance back toward Wei Zhao, then let Gu Mengyao drag her off in the direction of the mall. "Arrowhead won't lose track of us later, will he?"
"There's a car, isn't there? If he can't find us, he can just wait by the car." Gu Mengyao had her reasons for being angry—there was a pretty girl standing at the scene of the accident, and she had seen her too. The sight of Wei Zhao charging forward the moment he spotted a beautiful woman had dealt a severe blow to Gu Mengyao's pride.
He lived with her day in and day out, yet his thoughts were always on other women—what kind of person was that? Was her own charm really so lacking? A few days ago it was Qiu Lingshan, and today this stranger...
She caught a glimpse of Wei Zhao saying something to that pretty girl, and her face darkened several shades further. From the look of it, they seemed to have known each other all along? No wonder he was so eager!
Shen Yushu, of course, had no idea what was going through Gu Mengyao's mind. Seeing her black expression, she found it rather odd—was there really any need to be this angry? Could it be... that Yao-yao had been having her time of the month these past couple of days? Why else would her temper be so strange? Shen Yushu thought wickedly... Mm, very possible, highly likely! Tonight she would have to conduct a proper examination... hehe.
Though the crowd at the accident scene was packed three layers deep, squeezing through was no great difficulty for Wei Zhao. "Excuse me, everyone uninvolved, please clear out!"
Wei Zhao barked loudly as he pushed his way forward.
Those he had jostled, who had been about to grumble, all instinctively shut their mouths the moment they heard his words, and parted to clear a path of their own accord—they took Wei Zhao for a traffic cop or a hospital worker sent to handle the scene! Who else would talk like that?
Wei Zhao made it through smoothly and arrived just in time to see the middle-aged woman pointing at Wang Xinyan's nose and screeching: "I'm telling you, if anything happens to my father, you'd better prepare to go to prison!"
"Ma'am, I told you, I didn't hit him..." Wang Xinyan protested, looking aggrieved. "This is a commercial district—my speed wasn't even thirty kilometers an hour. This old gentleman fell over in front of my car all by himself. I hadn't even touched him before I slammed on the brakes!"
"Hmph, he fell right in front of your car—if you didn't hit him, who did? I'm telling you, this isn't over!" The middle-aged woman glared viciously at Wang Xinyan. "Why is the ambulance in Songshan City so slow? Does the health bureau chief want his job or not? Husband, call the mayor..."
"That's enough! Stop shouting!" The middle-aged man shot the woman a glare. "What's all this racket? Dad had one of his old spells—it has nothing to do with this young lady. Stop making things difficult for her!"
"Oh? So because this little slut is pretty, you don't even care about your own father anymore?" The moment the middle-aged woman heard her husband's words, she forgot all about cursing Wang Xinyan and turned on him instead. "What, your family's all high and mighty now, so you've forgotten how my father propped you up back in the day? And you dare snap at me? And take that little slut's side?"
