Chapter 1901 — Meeting the Young Miss: Bai Weituo Thought That Had He Known, He Would Have Taken Zhang Duopan's Bet—Whoever Lost Would Keep Away from He Meiyue!

"Don't look at me. I have no interest in betting with you." Wei Zhao glanced at Fan Ganhe and said mildly, "I only matched you drink for drink on Bai Weituo's account."
Fan Ganhe seethed. Wei Zhao was taking people far too lightly—it was as though he did not exist at all! Fan Ganhe was already turning it over in his mind: should he find a chance to trip Wei Zhao up, to let the kid know just how formidable he was?
"All right, all right, let's sing..." He Meiyue did not want to waste time. There was department business tomorrow, and the day after, military training would begin—there would be no time left to practice singing.
Despite the earlier unpleasantness, He Meiyue's voice was truly lovely. At this moment Bai Weituo and Zhang Duopan were, for once, in perfect agreement, both singing her praises...
That evening, Wei Zhao drove his dorm mates and Wang Xinyan and the others back to campus, while Zhang Duopan and Fan Ganhe had no choice but to take a taxi back themselves...
"Boss, how did you do it—swapping that Erguotou for plain water?" Bai Weituo said excitedly, then suddenly remembered that He Meiyue was still sitting in the back and felt embarrassed at once. "Uh, Meiyue... I..."
"You were drinking water?" He Meiyue was surprised.
"I didn't swap the water—Fan Ganhe did," Wei Zhao said. "When Xinyan went to the restroom, she happened to overhear Fan Ganhe and the waiter talking, so I quietly swapped yours for you. That water was originally meant for Zhang Duopan."
"No wonder!" He Meiyue said, realization dawning. Wei Zhao had been sitting in the private room the whole time; no matter how capable he was, he could not have switched the liquor in the Erguotou bottle for water in front of everyone. But quietly switching the positions of two bottles—that was quite possible.
"I knew it! So it was their own doing. No wonder Zhang Duopan poured the last of the liquor from my bottle into his cup and sniffed at it, then said nothing, looking like he had eaten shit. He had swallowed a bitter pill in silence!" Bai Weituo laughed heartily, greatly pleased. "Brother Lin, you're amazing—truly without a trace, without a sound."
"Just a little trick..." Wei Zhao said mildly.
Wang Xinyan only smiled. She had long known Wei Zhao was capable of such things—had he not, on the train, quietly lifted all the money from those swindlers without anyone noticing?
When they reached the school, Wei Zhao and the other three first saw Wang Xinyan, He Meiyue, and Chai Xiaoling to their dormitory before heading back to the men's dormitory. But at the entrance to the women's dorm, who should they run into, face to face, but the Young Miss and Xiao Shu...
Wei Zhao was walking shoulder to shoulder with Wang Xinyan; at the sight of Gu Mengyao, he froze.
Wang Xinyan was somewhat taken aback, not knowing what those two pretty girls wanted. She could tell their looks were less than friendly... only she did not know how she had offended them—or rather, whether they had come for Wei Zhao.
