Chapter 151 — You're Not Allowed to Drink
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Wei Zhao opened the door and got in, drove the car out of Shen Yushu's villa, and parked at the roadside. If he were to drive straight out of the villa later, it might rouse Gu Mengyao's suspicion, but out on the street it didn't matter—there were plenty of identical cars, and at this hour Gu Mengyao was hardly likely to scrutinize license plates.
He switched off the headlights and waited quietly for Gu Mengyao's car to emerge.
After a while, Gu Mengyao's Audi S5 rolled slowly out of the villa. As it turned the corner, the driver honked once, as if deliberately signaling to Wei Zhao.
Wei Zhao was briefly taken aback, then understood—it was probably Shen Yushu driving, and she was giving him a heads-up.
Wei Zhao switched on his headlights, started the car, and followed slowly. Since Shen Yushu was driving, he felt all the more at ease. Normally it was the driver who paid attention to the road; passengers rarely looked back and forth, so he wasn't worried about Gu Mengyao noticing she was being tailed.
Wei Zhao had guessed right—it really was Shen Yushu driving. Pleading that Gu Mengyao was in a bad mood, she had volunteered to play chauffeur this once, which had rather astonished Gu Mengyao.
Shen Yushu liked driving least of all—except, of course, for racing. In her view, cars simply couldn't get up any speed on city roads; the endless stop-and-go was maddening.
After several rounds of coaxing and a few calls of "Sister Yao Yao," Gu Mengyao reluctantly agreed to let her be the driver—as for Shen Yushu's own Beetle, it could sit in the garage half a year and barely manage to be driven out once.
"Yao Yao, where are we going?" Shen Yushu glanced at the rearview mirror, saw her yellow Beetle following behind, and relaxed.
In the past, whenever the two of them went out, no matter how late it was, Uncle Qing would tag along. But after Wei Zhao arrived, apart from driving them to school and seeing to their meals, everything else had fallen to Wei Zhao.
Shen Yushu had been a little puzzled at first, but after the bank incident she realized that Wei Zhao really did have some skill—and not just at teaching small-time thugs a lesson.
So this time, when they went out, they had called Wei Zhao along. Shen Yushu was no fool; the two of them had been named the school's beauties, and she knew well enough what they looked like. Their backgrounds were formidable, true, but outsiders did not know that, did they? So it was safer to bring Arrow-Badge Bro along.
"Let's go to a bar, shall we? I want a drink. You?" Gu Mengyao was in a foul mood, gazing at the night view outside the window.
"I want one too." Shen Yushu nodded excitedly. "I've never had a drink before." With Uncle Qing always following in the past, she really had not dared to; this time she could drink her fill! "Oh, wonderful!"
With Uncle Qing around, Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu were naturally much better behaved and could not possibly do anything too outrageous. After all, Uncle Qing was Gu Pengzhan's trusted confidant and could report on their doings at any moment.
"Xiao Shu, you can't. You can only have juice." Gu Mengyao pointed at the steering wheel. "If you drink, who's going to drive?"
