Chapter 905 — Wei Zhao Resigns!
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"You..." Gu Mengyao looked at Wei Zhao, wanting to say something, but when she saw him rise and head for the villa door without another word, she suddenly felt powerless, and her mouth closed again...
And just like that, Wei Zhao left, vanishing from the sight of Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu.
Gu Mengyao withdrew her gaze, her heart feeling stifled and heavy. She could not say whether it was melancholy or something else — only that her mood was very, very bad!
The good spirits Gu Mengyao had felt over Wei Zhao's full recovery vanished completely in that instant, as though she had lost something precious. She felt the urge to cry, but glancing at Xiaoshu beside her, in the end she did not cry!
Yaoyao, you have to be strong! How can you cry over a man? If he wants to leave, let him go. It is not that you have done him wrong — he is the one set on leaving... Though Gu Mengyao said this to herself, the pain inside her was truly, truly hard to bear...
"Yaoyao, is Arrow Brand really leaving?" Shen Yushu asked.
"It is true," Gu Mengyao said with a nod.
"But I do not want him to go," Shen Yushu said honestly.
"I know, but we cannot stop him," Gu Mengyao said, shaking her head.
"Not even Uncle Chu?" Shen Yushu asked suddenly.
"Daddy..." Gu Mengyao was briefly taken aback. It occurred to her that Wei Zhao had been brought here by her father — so would Wei Zhao listen to what her father said? He should, shouldn't he? Otherwise, why would he have come all this way to her side for thirty thousand yuan and taken on such grueling work?
At that thought, Gu Mengyao's eyes lit up at once. She stumbled over to the telephone, picked it up, and dialed Gu Pengzhan's number.
"Yaoyao? How is Xiaoyi — has he woken up?" Gu Pengzhan had just gotten off work and received his daughter's call on the road. For the past few days, without Qingbo to see him off, he had not hired a driver either, but drove himself, and had grown used to it.
"Mm..." Gu Mengyao nodded. "Daddy, it is Wei Zhao — he wants to leave. He is going to resign..."
"Resign? Why?" Gu Pengzhan was startled. "Is it because it is too dangerous?"
Gu Pengzhan had been very worried while Wei Zhao lay unconscious. What Wei Zhao had been through this time was indeed too dangerous; Gu Mengyao had already told him how it had all happened. Wei Zhao had very nearly lost his life.
"No... his injuries have healed, but his skills are gone..." Gu Mengyao said. "He says he is no different from an ordinary person now and can no longer protect me and Xiaoshu, so he wants to resign..."
"Is that so? Then wait there — I will be right over!" Gu Pengzhan said hastily. If that were the only reason, Gu Pengzhan would not mind; a personal guard could always be hired again. But once Wei Zhao left, he would never come back...
