Chapter 445 — Wei Zhao Is Stunned
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
At this thought, Feng Xiaoxiao was filled with fighting spirit again. With her looks, was it so hard to take down Wei Zhao? No matter how good things were between him and Tang Zhi, they weren't in the same class. But she and Wei Zhao were not only in the same class, they were deskmates—with such a convenient advantage of proximity, if she still couldn't win this battle for love, then she really would be a failure!
Seeing Feng Xiaoxiao's expression shift from dark to bright—one moment joyful, the next petulant, then full of hope—Kang Xiaofeng assumed she had come around. "Anyway, I'm only telling you all this because I pity you. But don't you go sabotaging things between the leader and Tang Zhi!"
"I won't. I'll just quietly be good to him and pay attention to him from the sidelines. I don't need him to like me!" Feng Xiaoxiao nodded. "But you have to keep it secret for me!"
"Of course I can do that," Kang Xiaofeng said with a smile and a nod. He did rather sympathize with this girl, Feng Xiaoxiao.
When Wei Zhao arrived at Guan Xuewen's villa, he was surprised to find two police cars parked at the gate: one was Qiu Lingshan's civilian-plated police vehicle, and the other was the police car Yang Huaijun had driven when he came to pick Wei Zhao up from school last time.
Wei Zhao wasn't particularly surprised that Yang Huaijun was here, but Qiu Lingshan's presence did strike him as odd. Why had she come too?
He rang the villa's doorbell, and the one who opened the door was the nanny, Auntie Liu. She knew Wei Zhao and hurriedly invited him in, fetching him slippers. "Professor Guan is in the study. There are two guests—one is Mr. Yang, whom you know."
"Ah, I know. I'll go find them myself—I know the other one too," Wei Zhao said with a smile to Auntie Liu.
"All right, then." Hearing that Wei Zhao knew them both, Auntie Liu said no more and went off to attend to her own affairs.
Wei Zhao went to the study door and knocked. Guan Xuewen's voice came from inside: "Is that Xiaoyi? You got here that fast?"
"It's me!" Wei Zhao pushed the door open and nodded with a smile—only to be startled by a figure that rushed to meet him. He was about to dodge, but once he saw who it was, he could only smile wryly.
Yang Huaijun gave Wei Zhao a bear hug and burst out laughing. "Look how my body's doing now—what do you think?"
Wei Zhao rolled his eyes. "You won't die anytime soon, but if you want to get back to your former strength, you'll have to wait."
"I can still recover my strength?" Yang Huaijun was struck dumb for a moment at Wei Zhao's words, then a joy rose in him. "Ying... Wei Zhao, are you saying I can still recover the strength I once had?"
"When have I ever shot my mouth off?" Wei Zhao shrugged.
But before Yang Huaijun could speak, Qiu Lingshan, seated on the sofa, curled her lip in disdain and beat him to it: "He does it all the time!"
"You brain-dead girl, nobody would take you for a mute if you just kept quiet!" Wei Zhao was none too pleased at Qiu Lingshan's interruption and shot her a glare. "You'd better not come begging me for anything from now on! Just assume everything I ever promised you was me shooting my mouth off!"
"Brother Yang, look at him, he's bullying me!" Qiu Lingshan turned to Yang Huaijun with an aggrieved look, speaking in a pitiful, wounded voice.
"Huh?!" Wei Zhao was dumbstruck. Qiu Lingshan... had a little-girl side to her too?
