"Then what will you do if it happens again next time?" Wei Zhao said. "Do you have any more of this medicine? Let me study it and see if I can work out the formula."
"Oh... that one's at home. Next time I have a chance to go back, I'll bring it," Shen Yushu said.
"That works." Hearing her say so, Wei Zhao set his mind at ease.
"All right, all right, I'm fine now. To celebrate, how about we go out for a big dinner tonight?" Shen Yushu seemed unwilling to dwell on the matter any further and made the suggestion.
"Sure, what do you want to eat?" Wei Zhao asked with a smile.
"Let's go for steak? I'm craving steak..." Shen Yushu said.
"Sounds good. I'll make a call and book a table at a Western restaurant," Gu Mengyao said with a nod.
But just as Gu Mengyao was about to make the call, her phone rang first.
"Daddy? Why are you calling me at this hour?" Gu Mengyao found it strange that Gu Pengzhan was calling. Usually he only called in the morning on his way to the company to let her know he was safe; he rarely called in the afternoon.
"Yaoyao, are you free tonight? How about we go out for a meal together?" Gu Pengzhan said.
"Tonight? Dinner? Just you?" Gu Mengyao was slightly taken aback. She couldn't understand why her father wanted to go out for dinner tonight — it wasn't the weekend, nor any holiday, and the suddenness of it left her bewildered.
"It's your Uncle An Mingyue's treat, and An Liwen will be there too..." Gu Pengzhan sighed. "Old neighbors of ours. They've suddenly come back to Songshan City and want to arrange a dinner to invite us... I couldn't very well refuse, so I had to agree."
Actually, Gu Pengzhan had liked An Liwen well enough at first, but later, after the An family moved away, the two households were left with only business dealings, and their other interactions grew much rarer. Today An Mingyue had suddenly turned up with An Liwen for a visit, catching Gu Pengzhan off guard — yet for the sake of appearances, he had no way to refuse.
After all, the two families had always had business ties, and they were old neighbors besides; it was impossible for Gu Pengzhan to decline.
"I see..." Gu Mengyao frowned. "Xiaoshu wants steak. Where are they hosting?"
"The place isn't settled yet. If you agree, I'll get back to them," Gu Pengzhan said. "I didn't know whether you'd be free today, so nothing's confirmed. But steak is no problem — I'll have them book a Western restaurant."
"All right then, but can I bring Wei Zhao and Tang Zhi along?" Gu Mengyao asked.
"Of course you can." Gu Pengzhan laughed. "It's just a family dinner..."
"Great, then I'll wait for your call, Daddy," Gu Mengyao agreed.
After hanging up, Shen Yushu asked, "Yaoyao, someone's treating us?"
