Chapter 996 — A Draw!
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Gu Mengyao frowned slightly. She glanced at Feng Xiaoxiao, then at Tang Zhi, silently trying to guess the reason.
"Tang Zhi, she says she's Brother Chewing Gum's little wife, and that you certified it?" Gu Mengyao did not want to ask, but Shen Yushu did not care and asked outright.
Tang Zhi's heart clenched. She had overlooked how Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu would feel!
Tang Zhi was no fool. A woman's sixth sense told her plainly how Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu felt about Wei Zhao. She was Wei Zhao's girlfriend; the two of them had been helpless about it, but in the end they had accepted the fact.
But now, out of nowhere, a Feng Xiaoxiao had appeared. How could the two of them possibly be happy about that?
Yet with Feng Xiaoxiao standing right there, Tang Zhi could not explain the truth to Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu. She could only nod helplessly and say, "Yes, she is Wei Zhao's little wife."
Hearing Tang Zhi's confirmation, Gu Mengyao's expression shifted at once, and a sense of grievance welled up in her heart.
What was this supposed to mean? She had already set aside her airs as a young miss and lowered herself to make friendly overtures to Tang Zhi, and now Tang Zhi had found Wei Zhao another little wife? Even if he was to take a little wife, it should be Xiaoshu, shouldn't it? What was the meaning of bringing in this Feng Xiaoxiao?
In that moment her heart ached, though she told herself it was on Xiaoshu's behalf. Yes, on Xiaoshu's behalf.
"Xiaoshu, this is their family matter. Why should we meddle?" Gu Mengyao turned away and took Xiaoshu's hand. She gave Wei Zhao a cool glance. "Let's meet at the entrance of that V. Xiaoshu, let's go."
"Oh..." Shen Yushu glanced at Wei Zhao. "Brother Chewing Gum, you've really disappointed me. This little wife is just awful."
With that, before Feng Xiaoxiao could say a word, Shen Yushu turned and left with Gu Mengyao. Whatever Feng Xiaoxiao wanted to say, she had to swallow it.
Watching the young miss and Xiaoshu walk away, Wei Zhao gave a bitter smile and sighed. This time, the two of them were truly angry.
But what could Wei Zhao say? He glanced at Tang Zhi and found her looking back at him with the same bitter smile. All he could do was give her a comforting look.
Gu Mengyao, holding Shen Yushu's hand, strode down the stairs.
"Oh, Sister Yaoyao, you're hurting me..." Shen Yushu's hand was being squeezed so hard it hurt, and she cried out in pain.
"Sorry, Xiaoshu..." Only then did Gu Mengyao realize she had been gripping too hard.
"It's all right, Sister Yaoyao. I'm a little heartbroken! I'm so disappointed in Brother Chewing Gum!" Shen Yushu's heart ached too. She had always believed that Brother Chewing Gum liked her, and that as long as Tang Zhi agreed, he would accept both her and Sister Yaoyao. But now...
"Maybe it isn't Wei Zhao's fault. Didn't you see him smiling bitterly the whole time?" Gu Mengyao had observed more carefully. "Perhaps it's that Feng Xiaoxiao's doing."
"Oh, I've got it! It must be Tang Zhi. She thinks Sister Yaoyao and I are a threat to her, so to fight back, she found herself a little wife too!" Shen Yushu said, struck by sudden inspiration. "Sister Yaoyao, look at that Feng Xiaoxiao. Her personality is just like mine. She must have been picked to match me! That way Tang Zhi and we are two against two, a draw, and our advantage is gone!"
"Huh?" Gu Mengyao's eyes went wide. Xiaoshu's theory was a bit too shocking. Tang Zhi had found a little wife like Xiaoshu just to contend with them? Gu Mengyao found it rather unbelievable. After all, it did not seem like Tang Zhi's style.
