Chapter 674 — The Poison Formula
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Guan Xuewen had not expected Wei Zhao to simply write out the poison formula and the antidote formula for him, and he felt almost overwhelmed by the honor. What enormous trust this required! The formula for such a legendary poison as the Seven-Herb Death Powder was already precious beyond measure, and Wei Zhao actually possessed its matching antidote as well -- to a student of medicine, this was nothing short of a priceless treasure!
"Good. I will see it done properly!" Guan Xuewen nodded solemnly.
"This is a fine opportunity for a publicity campaign. Talk it over with Fatty Lai and see whether he has any good ideas!" What Wei Zhao had in mind was that the matter of the antidote could be used to generate some publicity for Doctor Guan Pharmaceuticals, though the specifics of how to go about it were beyond his expertise -- that would have to be left to Fatty Lai.
"Heh, this is Fatty Lai's specialty. I will speak with him!" Doctor Guan nodded.
Wei Zhao said no more. He wrote out the formulas and handed them to Guan Xuewen, then left the isolation room. By now Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu had come out of the operating room and were talking with Gu Pengzhan; Gu Mengyao seemed to be in good spirits.
Yet when the young lady caught sight of Wei Zhao, she turned her gaze aside with marked coldness and paid him no heed at all.
In her heart, Gu Mengyao felt deeply ashamed. She had actually wanted very much to say "thank you" to Wei Zhao, but the words would not come! It had been bad enough that he had looked at her and touched her, but in the end she had actually urinated all over his face and his clothes -- how could she possibly face Wei Zhao again as though nothing had happened?
In her own heart, she feared she could never get past that.
Wei Zhao had probably guessed what was on the eldest young lady's mind, and so he did not speak to her either, lest she feel embarrassed. Shen Yushu, meanwhile, was chattering away excitedly to Gu Pengzhan about how formidable Arrow-Brand Bro was and how strong Sister Yaoyao was.
But Shen Yushu was not foolish in front of just anyone; about the matter of Gu Mengyao stripping off her clothes and peeing all over Wei Zhao's face, she said not a single word.
"Xiaoyi, I truly have to thank you this time!" Seeing Wei Zhao approach, Gu Pengzhan walked over with some emotion and clapped him on the shoulder excitedly. "If not for you... Yaoyao, she..."
"Ha, Uncle Chu, this is what I ought to do." Wei Zhao smiled, claiming no credit for himself. "Besides, I have never treated Yaoyao as an outsider."
"Good!" Gu Pengzhan nodded. "Since that is so, Xiaoyi, from now on you are family to the Gu household. Half of my family fortune shall be yours hereafter!"
The heads of the various families and the others present were all somewhat shocked at Gu Pengzhan's words! They had not expected him to say such a thing, though they also supposed that perhaps it was because Wei Zhao had saved Gu Mengyao's life that Gu Pengzhan, overjoyed, had made him such a promise.
Gu Mengyao, however, glanced at her father in some surprise, never imagining that Daddy would give away half the family property in a single sentence! Though Gu Mengyao did not begrudge it -- because the one receiving it was Wei Zhao, which made her feel it was worthwhile enough -- why was her father so good to Wei Zhao?
