Chapter 1982 — Strange Theory

"That's no problem. When the time comes I'll just say the bet was something I blurted out while drunk last time, and blame it all on the drink. He Meiyue won't be able to say much about that." Zhang Duopan said. "But if I just give up outright, she'll think I'm afraid — and that's a different matter altogether!"
"Brother Zhang, you're so clever!" Fan Ganhe said admiringly.
"Naturally. I'm going to take over the family company one day — I can't do it without a bit of brains!" Zhang Duopan said smugly.
After parking the car, Wei Zhao sent the young miss a text message, while Han Jingyi got in touch with her younger brother.
Before long, Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu arrived — and unexpectedly Han Xiaochao was trailing behind the two of them like a little sidekick.
"You're not getting out?" Wei Zhao turned to Han Jingyi and asked.
"Why should I get out? Aren't you all going home?" Han Jingyi countered.
"We are, but aren't you driving your own car?" Wei Zhao pointed at the X5M not far away.
"No, I'm not. Driving it wastes so much gas. My brother and I will just ride back in your car," Han Jingyi said, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"Fine." Wei Zhao was long since used to Han Jingyi and really did not want to say anything more.
Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu walked over. Shen Yushu had meant to sit in the passenger seat, but when she saw that Han Jingyi had claimed it, she frowned, somewhat displeased.
Han Jingyi seemed to notice Shen Yushu's displeasure too, and got out of the car of her own accord: "I'll sit in the back."
Since Han Jingyi had said so, Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu could hardly object — they were freeloading a ride, after all, but they were neighbors too.
They drove home. Han Jingyi took Han Xiaochao back to their own villa, while Wei Zhao, Gu Mengyao, and Shen Yushu went back as well.
"Wei Zhao, I hear you got Xu Shilan to come?" Gu Mengyao asked.
"Mm..." Wei Zhao then told Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu about helping Bai Weituo pursue He Meiyue.
"You really do have time on your hands, helping someone else chase girls!" Gu Mengyao was not angry to hear that Wei Zhao was helping another person.
"Oh, I thought Shield Bro was trying to curry favor with that Fox Yan!" Shen Yushu said.
"Ugh, why would I curry favor with her... Besides, her name isn't Fox Yan," Wei Zhao said.
"She seduced Shield Bro, so she's Fox Yan," Shen Yushu said.
"That's enough, Xiaoshu. I told you not to go giving people nicknames — it's easy to offend them." Gu Mengyao did not know why, but in her heart she was reluctant to offend Wang Xinyan. Perhaps Wang Xinyan really could become Wei Zhao's first wife?
