護花近衛 - 第426章 買樹之行 - 翰墨軒

"Uh... right! Let's buy the sapling first, then." Shen Yushu nodded.

"Wei Zhao, we're going to buy a sapling, and the car will be stuffed full. How about we take yours?" This time Gu Mengyao did not let Shen Yushu speak for her; she asked herself.

Though she was a little reluctant to talk to Wei Zhao. Today Feng Xiaoxiao had come looking for him, and Gu Mengyao did not know how to bring it up. She felt somewhat embarrassed — the trouble had been hers to begin with, yet she had actually sent Xiaoshu to text Wei Zhao and interrogate him about whether he had been fooling around with other girls...

"Sure." Wei Zhao nodded. How could he refuse an order from the young lady? So Wei Zhao said, "Shall we go now?"

"Yes, now..." Gu Mengyao stood up, took Shen Yushu by the hand, and made ready to leave the house with Wei Zhao.

This was the first time the young lady and Miss Chen had ridden in Wei Zhao's "junker," and they were left speechless by just how junky it was.

"Chewing Gum Bro, this car of yours — it can still run?" Shen Yushu simply could not fathom it. Such a wreck of a car could still move, and move rather fast at that.

"Whether it can run or not — don't you know now?" Wei Zhao laughed. "For a sidekick like me, having a junker to drive is already pretty good."

"Oh, then let me give you my car. I don't like driving anyway." Shen Yushu said this very seriously after hearing him.

Gu Mengyao's face immediately became hard to keep composed. Wei Zhao was her sidekick, and yet he did not even have a car — this one had probably been salvaged from some scrap dealer, no telling where. She cleared her throat twice and said, "Wei Zhao, tomorrow I'll speak with Uncle Qing and have him buy you a van..."

"Ha... no need. I'm quite used to driving this one..." Wei Zhao had not expected the young lady to be so sensitive. He had only been making an offhand remark, and she was already offering to buy him a car.

"Oh..." Hearing Wei Zhao refuse, Gu Mengyao naturally did not press further — that was not in her nature either. "Today, that Feng Xiaoxiao didn't give you any trouble, did she?"

"Ah, how could she not? She took a phone and tried to secretly photograph me in the bathroom, planning to blackmail me. But I mistook her for Zhong Yongliang and gave her a good soaking of piss... The grudge is huge now!" Wei Zhao did not hide it. This whole business had arisen because he had gone out with the young lady, so whatever Feng Xiaoxiao did from now on, Gu Mengyao could not pin it on him.

"What? You... you mistook her for Zhong Yongliang and doused her in urine?" Gu Mengyao's eyes went wide. The last time it had rained in the bathroom, she and Xiaoshu had gone to look, and thinking of Zhong Yongliang's sorry state was rather funny... But if it had been a girl instead, how humiliating would that be?

Gu Mengyao could imagine that if it had been herself, she would have wished she were dead. How could Feng Xiaoxiao possibly let it go?

"Ha, it's nothing. She was the one who went into the men's room." Wei Zhao did not care. "Let her be. Once she tires of getting her revenge, she'll go away. She's just a little delinquent girl."

"I'm really sorry. I never thought she would come after you..." Gu Mengyao said with some remorse. "How about I talk to her tomorrow? What happened that day wasn't your fault..."

"Hm?" Wei Zhao looked at the young lady with some surprise. He had not expected her to say that.

Gu Mengyao blushed a little too. She gave a huff and explained, "I'm someone who keeps clear accounts of gratitude and grudges. Don't think that just because I speak up for you, it means I feel any particular way about you. Let me tell you, I actually still find you quite annoying!"

In her fluster, Gu Mengyao blurted those words out, but after saying them she somewhat regretted it. Did she really still dislike Wei Zhao? It seemed she did not...
