Chapter 610 — My Employer Is Fierce!

"Oh, I am hungry too — I want shark meat!" Shen Yushu threw both hands up and joined in. But her gesture was too broad, and the wallet tucked in her shirt was squeezed out at one corner — a fact she did not notice, for she went on excitedly, "Let us go catch a shark!"
"Your boss is in a foul temper!" Guan Xin's mouth fell open, and she stared at Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu, somewhat taken aback. "You'd better get back, then. Don't let it interfere with your work..."
"All right. See you next time." Wei Zhao had no idea what madness had gotten into the young lady this time, and he hurried over.
"Wei Zhao, it's because you left your post that my wallet got stolen. What do you have to say for yourself?" Gu Mengyao glared at Wei Zhao. "Hurry up and bring the thief to justice!"
"Oh, the one who stole your wallet was Xiaoshu," Wei Zhao said with a laugh.
"How could that be?" Gu Mengyao was startled, unable to fathom how Wei Zhao knew, but she blustered on regardless. "Xiaoshu — how could Xiaoshu steal my wallet?"
"No way, I didn't steal it!" Shen Yushu shook her head along with her.
"Hah... it's right there on your chest, half of it sticking out!" Wei Zhao pointed at Shen Yushu.
"Huh?" Shen Yushu hastily looked down, and sure enough, a corner of the wallet was peeking out. "This... this..."
"Didn't you want the thief brought to justice? I've caught her for you. Shall we send her to the police station?" Wei Zhao asked, smiling.
"Oh no, don't! I don't want to go to jail! Sister Yao made me hide the wallet — it's got nothing to do with me!" Shen Yushu shrieked.
"You—" Gu Mengyao's eyes went wide, her face dark as thunder, and her heart nearly burst with rage. "What are you screaming for? Stop screaming! It's all because your chest is so big it squeezed the wallet right out!"
"Ah... that's hardly my fault..." Shen Yushu said pitifully.
"Hah... now that the thief's been found, let's go back and eat." Wei Zhao smiled and said nothing more. Sometimes the young lady was even more adorable than Xiaoshu — imagine dreaming up such a ridiculous scheme.
After they got home at noon, Wei Zhao went off to cook, while Gu Mengyao glared at Shen Yushu with the look of one whose high hopes had been thoroughly disappointed. "Honestly, you can't even act. You were found out just like that!"
"Sister Yao, it's not my fault either. The wallet just slipped out on its own..." Shen Yushu said meekly.
"All right, enough of that! You'll be the death of me!" Gu Mengyao said, speechless. "Who was that girl talking to Wei Zhao today?"
"I don't know either. I've never seen her before." Shen Yushu shook her head.
"Aren't you Agent Shu 007? Ask you anything and you know nothing!" Gu Mengyao shook her head.
When Wei Zhao prepared the meal, he deliberately made an extra portion, thinking to bring it to Tang Zhi at the hospital later — but the young lady noticed.
"Wei Zhao, why did you make so much food? Can the three of us even finish all this?" Gu Mengyao only asked offhandedly because she was feeling cross. In truth, the young lady never normally gave a thought to leftovers.
"I made an extra portion. I'll bring it to Tang Zhi when I go to the hospital later." Wei Zhao did not bother to hide it.
Bringing food to Tang Zhi? The young lady felt a twinge of displeasure, though she did not let it show.RO
