Chapter 1136 — Tang Zhi's Inferiority
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Of... of course not..." Tang Zhi shook her head. Gu Mengyao had carried things this far - how could she possibly bring herself to refuse?
Wei Zhao came over to the Beetle and found the inside already piled high with every sort of goods! Some were packed in bags, some boxed up - in any case, a great, great many things!
"What is all this?" Wei Zhao asked curiously, jabbing a finger at random toward one of the bags.
"Face masks," Shen Yushu said.
"Hah? Face masks?" Wei Zhao's eyes went wide.
"The internet says the wind at the seaside at night is very strong, so in order to protect the skin, you have to put on face masks," Shen Yushu said.
"..." Wei Zhao was rather lost for words, but he said nothing more and asked nothing further. Since Shen Yushu said they would be useful, then they would be useful - with the volume of the Land Rover's trunk, fitting all of this in would be more than enough!
Wei Zhao began taking the things out one after another and loading them into the trunk of the Land Rover.
Tang Zhi gazed about the bathroom: the luxurious marble floor, the exquisitely white bathtub, and all manner of unknown skincare products. She could not help but marvel - she had always thought her family's new house was perfectly nice, but it was only upon coming into this villa that she realized their home was nothing out of the ordinary!
Still, these high-end bottles and jars could only be afforded by a pampered heiress like Gu Mengyao... At the thought, Tang Zhi could not help feeling a little worried... She might be unbeatable in her youth now, but what about later? In ten years, twenty years, her skin would most likely be no match for Gu Mengyao's and little Shu's. They had been cared for over the long term, while she would have lost the race right at the starting line!
But with her family's present circumstances, Tang Zhi could not afford such things, and she could only sigh. For the first time she felt how terribly important money was. She had never had money before, but never had she felt it so acutely.
The bathtub was spotlessly clean - plainly only Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu had ever used it. Tang Zhi did not mind in the least. Both of them were cleanly people; it would be more than good enough if they did not mind her.
She ran the hot water and lay back in the tub, thinking quietly to herself: university was about to begin, and once she was there she absolutely must not go on studying foolishly the way she had in high school. She had to become someone of use to Wei Zhao - at the very least, find a part-time job at his company, where she could earn a little money of her own and at the same time help him see to certain matters.
Feng Xiaoxiao had only just bathed that morning. Living alone, bathing was a simple business, and once she and Gu Mengyao had settled Tang Zhi in, she went back out to the courtyard to help Wei Zhao load the car.
There was no small amount of stuff, but with four of them all pitching in, everything was loaded onto the Land Rover in no time at all.
Parked at the roadside, not far from the villa, was a Ferrari sports car, with An Liwen and Su Taizao sitting inside.
"That Wei Zhao has it made - sitting pretty with all the blessings of four beauties at his side!" An Liwen said sourly, staring over toward the villa's courtyard.
"Shen Yushu, that troublemaking girl, is hardly worth wanting. Brother Wen, if you brought her into the household too, you could forget about having a life - she'd torment you to death!" Su Taizao said consolingly.
"That's true enough. That girl is too fierce - I couldn't handle her. Bring her home and I might not live through it!" An Liwen nodded, thoroughly convinced. "By the way, did you get everything bought? Once we reach the seaside, we'll put on a little show and draw Gu Mengyao's attention."
"I've already sent Yang Ganglou to buy them. You can rest easy about the way he handles things - the boy's plenty sharp!" Su Taizao said.
