Chapter 1255 — Pangolin's Sister
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Stop talking nonsense. About the same as her? She is just a little girl... What am I supposed to say to her?" Wei Zhao said helplessly.
"If you really do not want to go, then wait until I return to Songshan City. We will go together and bring her the certificate and the pension along the way." Yang Huaijun knew the bitterness in Wei Zhao's heart, so he said this.
"Forget the certificate and the pension for now. They never found the body, did they? Perhaps Pangolin is still all right!" Wei Zhao stopped him hastily. According to what Yang Huaijun had said, Ying Ziyu should still be unaware that her brother had died, and with the entrance exams so close, the news would be a terrible blow. So Wei Zhao did not want to tell her outright. If it had to be said, it should at least wait until she had gotten into high school.
"True. No news is good news!" Yang Huaijun nodded.
"All right, I will go see her in a bit. I have nothing pressing at the moment anyway." If Wei Zhao had not known, that would have been one thing, but now that he knew Pangolin had a sister, he truly could not stand aside. He had to go and see how Ying Ziyu was living.
With Pangolin gone, he himself was her brother now, and he should shoulder the duty of caring for her! Pangolin, like Yang Huaijun, was a man with whom he had shared life and death!
"Good, let us leave it at that for now. As for the Yu family, do not be in too great a hurry. Do not alert them." Yang Huaijun's final warning not to alert them was in fact meant to restrain Wei Zhao.
"Rest assured, Brother Jun, I know my limits." Wei Zhao nodded.
After hanging up, Wei Zhao was in low spirits, his heart heavy. Though there were countless children in the world like Ying Ziyu who had lost parents and brothers, those others had nothing to do with him. But Pangolin's sister was different!
Wei Zhao was a ruthless man, and yet a deeply loyal one! Toward strangers and enemies he was cold, but toward friends and loved ones he cared beyond measure!
"Husband Wei Zhao, what is wrong? You look unhappy?" Feng Xiaoxiao had been watching Wei Zhao's expression. Though she did not know whom he had been speaking with, she could feel the heaviness in his heart.
"It is nothing... Xiaoxiao, are you free now? Will you come out with me?" Wei Zhao asked.
"Oh? To see that sister of someone you mentioned?" Though Feng Xiaoxiao had not quite followed Wei Zhao's phone call, she had caught the general meaning.
"Yes, the sister of a comrade-in-arms of mine..." Wei Zhao sighed. "That comrade is gone. He was my good brother..."
"Then let us go. I will go with you!" Feng Xiaoxiao truly could understand how Wei Zhao felt. Her father worked in a similar line, and some of her uncles had died on missions, which had left her father in great pain as well.
