Chapter 754 — Is This What They Call a Benefit?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Heh..." Wei Zhao smiled faintly. The fragment map, was it? It really did seem to be a treasure. Wei Zhao had put it away in a drawer; not knowing what use it had, he had never taken it out to study. And now the Yu Family was treating it as a priceless object?
Did they know the secret hidden within the fragment map?
"And here's the funny part - this Yu Kun kept going on about giving us a benefit. The so-called benefit was wanting the exclusive distributorship for our company's products. It's simply ridiculous. That's what they call giving us a benefit? He's the one who wants a benefit!" Fatty Lai said with some scorn.
"Heh, if it were any other small company, they might well have taken it as a benefit," Wei Zhao said with a faint smile, then added in warning: "The Yu Family has many skilled fighters. Watch your own safety, and don't clash with them head-on."
"Of course I know. I was neither servile nor overbearing the whole time - it was just that Yu Kun was a little too arrogant." Fatty Lai shook his head.
"He just left like that? Said nothing more?" Wei Zhao did not believe the Yu Family would let the matter drop. If they really had come for the fragment map, they would surely make another move.
"He told me to watch my step, said I'd learn the price of offending the Yu Family..." Fatty Lai said.
"I see." The corner of Wei Zhao's mouth curved slightly upward. The Yu Family, eh - hidden dynasty or towering giant, it made no difference. They had best not provoke him, or in the end, no one would come out of it looking good.
Wei Zhao hung up, unconcerned. Since the Yu Family would not let it go, he would simply wait for them to come knocking. After hanging up, he glanced at the text messages on his phone - there had been a notification while he was on the call.
"My daddy wants to treat you to dinner tonight!"
The message was from the Young Miss. Gu Pengzhan wanted to treat him to dinner? Wei Zhao figured it must be because of yesterday - because he had saved Gu Mengyao.
Since Gu Pengzhan had extended the invitation, Wei Zhao naturally would not refuse. He replied with a text: "All right, I understand."
The Young Miss received the message, glanced down at it, and did not reply.
Wei Zhao felt that ever since yesterday's events, the Young Miss's attitude toward him seemed to have changed. She no longer looked at him with quite the same antipathy, always finding fault with him - it was as though things between them had grown more peaceful... except, perhaps, a little more distant?
Because the Young Miss's attitude carried a sense of keep-your-distance, somewhat like how she might treat a stranger?
Wei Zhao could not figure out what the Young Miss was thinking. In truth, the Young Miss herself did not know what to think - how was she supposed to face Wei Zhao from now on? He had seen her body - could she really just let it go at that? Gu Mengyao had actually lain awake last night, pondering the question of her and Wei Zhao the whole night through.
