"Ha, I understand." Wei Zhao smiled.
Gu Mengyao dragged Shen Yushu out of the kitchen. Wei Zhao shook his head. These two really had no talent for cooking, though it was already rare enough that the young miss would even have such intentions. This was probably the first time in her life she had ever set foot in a kitchen; the same likely went for Shen Yushu.
Before Wei Zhao arrived, the rice cooker and other appliances still had their manuals stuffed inside them—clearly they had never been used at all.
Making breakfast was second nature to Wei Zhao. First he set the rice porridge to cook on a timer, then briskly fried a few eggs and prepared a dish of pickled vegetables with sesame oil. Soon everything was on the table.
Watching Wei Zhao finish all this with such ease, Shen Yushu was astonished. "Yaoyao, why are we so clumsy?"
"You're clumsy, not me." Gu Mengyao was also a little surprised by Wei Zhao's speed.
Gu Mengyao helped Wei Zhao serve the porridge, and Shen Yushu heated milk for the three of them.
"Wei Zhao, you didn't sleep well last night. Why don't you skip driving today? Shall we have Qing Bo take us to school?" Gu Mengyao was worried about Wei Zhao driving while tired.
"I'm not sleepy. And I won't be going to school right away—I have a bit of other business to take care of." Wei Zhao smiled.
"Other business? What are you going to do?" Gu Mengyao asked instinctively.
"Today the Qibing Real Estate Company said they want Tang Zhi's family to come to their office to discuss the demolition compensation," Wei Zhao said.
"Oh?" Hearing that it was about Tang Zhi's family again, Gu Mengyao felt somewhat displeased.
"Oh, is it a negotiation? I want to go too." Shen Yushu quickly swallowed the egg in her mouth and took a sip of milk.
"What would you go for?" Wei Zhao found it rather amusing.
"My nickname is Negotiation Shu. Arrow-brand Brother, let me come along—I guarantee your negotiation will succeed," Shen Yushu said.
"Little Shu, how many nicknames do you have? Things like Spy Shu?" Gu Mengyao kicked Shen Yushu, not wanting her to meddle.
"Oh, that's only the tip of the iceberg. Actually, I'm omni-capable." Shen Yushu said, "Arrow-brand Brother, take me with you—I guarantee instant success."
Wei Zhao looked at Shen Yushu, who was raring to go, and could only smile wryly. "You really want to come?"
"Yes!" Shen Yushu nodded.
"Then come along..." Wei Zhao didn't mind—it was just one more person.
"Yaoyao, Arrow-brand Brother agreed! Let's all go together?" Shen Yushu was very excited.
"We're in our third year of high school now. Studies are intense—you can't keep skipping class!" Gu Mengyao said.
"It'll be fine, just for a little while?" Shen Yushu said. "If I don't go to school, it won't be any fun for you to go alone, Yaoyao. We always do everything together, inseparable every day."
"All right then." Gu Mengyao hesitated for a moment before nodding, then said to Wei Zhao, "It really is fine if we come along, isn't it?"
"It's fine." Wei Zhao didn't see any problem with it. After all, they weren't going to do anything sneaky—they were just going to the Qibing Real Estate Company headquarters to demand money.
After finishing the meal, Wei Zhao called Tang Zhi. They agreed that he would pick her up at the hospital shortly, and he happened to mention that Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu would be coming along as well.
Tang Zhi was not a petty person. Though she found it a little absurd that Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu were tagging along today of all days, if the two of them were willing to come, then let them. The relationship among the three of them was strange — they saw each other constantly, and while there was no great hostility between them, there was certainly no friendship either.
Ever since that declaration of war at Fatty Lai's house, and after the cafeteria incident, the relationship between the three women had settled into this awkward, neither-fish-nor-fowl state.
