Chapter 1223 — You Can't Just Make Predictions
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Little Shu, what nonsense are you spouting? Stop talking garbage — there's no way Qiu Lingshan would do something like that..." Gu Mengyao had herself been misunderstood by Shen Yushu once before. That time in the cave, when she sucked the poisoned blood from Wei Zhao's wound, Shen Yushu had twisted it into something else entirely! So on reflection, Qiu Lingshan might well be a misunderstanding too!
Besides, judging by her understanding of Wei Zhao's character, even if Qiu Lingshan wanted to do such a thing, Wei Zhao might not agree to it! The two of them were hardly even acquainted — Wei Zhao wasn't so desperate for female company that he'd take the bait so easily. If it were Tang Zhi helping Wei Zhao in that way, Gu Mengyao could believe it, but when it came to Qiu Lingshan, she really couldn't bring herself to.
"There's no outsider here, so what's there to be afraid of?" Shen Yushu said, utterly unconcerned.
"Really? That Qiu Lingshan is that ruthless?" Feng Xiaoxiao asked.
"Of course it's not real!" Wei Zhao patted Feng Xiaoxiao's little head and said, somewhat helplessly, "How can you believe anything Little Shu says?"
"Why can't you believe me? I'm the famous Prophesying Shu — everything I say basically comes true!" Shen Yushu said, perfectly self-assured.
"Little Shu, you can't just go around making wild predictions about something like this!" Gu Mengyao glared at Shen Yushu. Right now there was nothing between Wei Zhao and Qiu Lingshan — but if Shen Yushu prophesied it, something really might happen!
"Uh..." Shen Yushu stuck out her tongue, realizing her words had been a bit inappropriate. Wasn't this practically pushing Wei Zhao toward Qiu Lingshan herself?
"All right, let's get back to the orphanage fundraiser." Wei Zhao steered the conversation back on track. The more Shen Yushu talked, the further afield she wandered, and he naturally couldn't let her keep going!
In the past, a little talk wouldn't have mattered, but now there really was something ambiguous and indefinable between Wei Zhao and Qiu Lingshan. Hearing Shen Yushu's words, Wei Zhao couldn't help but blush and his heart race, so it was best not to let her continue!
"Wei Zhao's right. Let's discuss the fundraiser." Gu Mengyao nodded as well. "Yesterday, because of what happened with Xiaoxiao, I didn't get to talk to Daddy. I'll give him a call now and tell him about all this."
"Mm, it's better to talk to Uncle Chu first." Wei Zhao nodded. "Have Uncle Chu make arrangements at the school and give Principal Ding a heads-up. Organizing it through the school will carry more weight than if we did it ourselves."
Gu Mengyao took out her phone and dialed Gu Pengzhan's number.
"Yaoyao? Why are you calling me at this hour?" Gu Pengzhan was in his office looking over documents. Seeing his daughter call at this time, he was rather surprised!
From childhood, Gu Mengyao had always been a very independent girl. Unless something important came up, she generally wouldn't call Gu Pengzhan. In her years at First High, she had rarely troubled him with anything — very different from the typical rich young lady.
"Daddy, there's something I'd like to ask you to help with..." Gu Mengyao said.
"Oh? Has my precious daughter run into some trouble? What does Daddy need to help with?" Gu Pengzhan was rather surprised by her words! Back then, aside from the matter of driving Wei Zhao away, Gu Mengyao had rarely asked him for anything.
"It's like this — Little Shu and I want to organize a fundraiser at school, to rally all our classmates' strength and make a donation to the orphanage," Gu Mengyao said.
"A fundraiser? A donation to the orphanage?" Gu Pengzhan was slightly taken aback, not quite understanding his daughter's meaning. "What orphanage?"
"Daddy, it's like this..." Gu Mengyao then told Gu Pengzhan about everything she had seen and heard at the orphanage the day before.
