Chapter 416 — The Matter of Wei Zhao
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Everyone in the family knew what sort of person Kang Jingming was, so they merely laughed off his words — but Kang Jinglong was delighted inside. If even his wastrel of a younger brother said she was good, then she must surely be a fairy descended to earth!
"Don't worry, the family will find you a fine one in the future too!" Kang Jinglong told Kang Jingming. "Still, you've outdone your brother — I'll have only this one woman in my whole life, and you've already had who knows how many!"
"Haha, well, that's..." Kang Jingming chuckled, shameless rather than ashamed.
Still, compared with his earlier contributions to the family, this bit of rakish behavior counted for nothing. Divine Doctor Kang and the others no longer considered it a flaw in Kang Jingming — a young man ought to sow a few wild oats!
Kang Jinglong excelled in both character and learning, Kang Jingming was a rake and a womanizer — the household was never dull, to say the least!
Under the strange stares of passersby, Feng Xiaoxiao hurried into a clothing shop with her hair still dripping wet, bought a full set from underthings outward, then drove to the nearest hotel, took a hot shower, changed into her new clothes, and drove angrily back to school.
This much could be seen from the very fact that he served as Gu Mengyao's bodyguard — if he weren't formidable, Gu Pengzhan would never have hired him for the job.
It seemed that before making another move, she would have to learn everything she could about Wei Zhao, or she'd likely suffer another heavy loss. With that thought, Feng Xiaoxiao decided to sound out Zhong Yongliang and Zou Ruoming and dig up what they knew about Wei Zhao.
When Feng Xiaoxiao got back to school, Zhong Yongliang and Gao Xiaofu had just returned after changing their clothes — they had been kneeling in the restroom for ages, and their trousers were filthy.
"Sister Xiaoxiao..." Much as Zhong Yongliang loathed it, having run into her at the school gate, he could hardly pretend he hadn't seen her — that would only make things worse.
"You two, come here!" Feng Xiaoxiao pointed at Zhong Yongliang and spoke coldly.
Zhong Yongliang and Gao Xiaofu's hearts gave a violent lurch. Had Wei Zhao broken his word and told Feng Xiaoxiao about what had happened earlier? Terrified by the possibility, they shuffled cautiously up to her and said with fawning smiles, "Sister Xiaoxiao, is something the matter? What happened before really wasn't our fault — we had no idea Wei Zhao would suddenly turn around..."
"I didn't call you over to talk about that!" Feng Xiaoxiao frowned, displeased. I hadn't even brought it up, and you two go and mention it? What's that supposed to mean? Are you trying to humiliate me?
"Uh... then what did Sister Xiaoxiao want to see us about...?" Zhong Yongliang felt instant relief at her words, though he was also nervous and fearful. He must have been a fool just now — how could he casually bring up such an embarrassing incident for Feng Xiaoxiao? Of course she'd be upset when it was mentioned!
"Go and bring Zou Ruoming over too. I have something to tell you all!" Feng Xiaoxiao ordered Zhong Yongliang.
"Uh... sure, I'll go right now!" Gao Xiaofu volunteered. He was Zhong Yongliang's lackey — how could he let Zhong Yongliang do the running?
Zou Ruoming was in fact easy to find; he played basketball on the court almost every day, so Gao Xiaofu spotted him at a glance.
"Brother Ming! Brother Ming, over here!" Gao Xiaofu called out to Zou Ruoming.
"What is it?" Zou Ruoming was just about to go up for a layup when Gao Xiaofu's shout startled him and the ball slipped from his hands. Annoyed, he said, "Couldn't it wait until I finished playing?"
"Sister Xiaoxiao is looking for you..." Gao Xiaofu said.
"Damn it, why didn't you say so earlier!" Zou Ruoming came running over at a trot, alarm on his face. "You two idiots — you crossed Sister Xiaoxiao this morning, and now you drag me along to suffer with you. That's low!"
