Chapter 2047 — Utter Astonishment
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Had Wei Zhao known how much was going through He Meiyue's mind, he would have been astonished that a girl could be so calculating. Of course, how calculating she was had little to do with Wei Zhao, because he did not like her in the least.
Zhang Duopan and Fan Ganhe had both been injured, so the moment they left the tiger park the two of them hurried off to see a doctor, while Wei Zhao and the others went nowhere else and headed straight back to school.
In the school parking lot, Wang Xinyan got out of the car and was about to head back to her dormitory when the young mistress gave her a wink: "If you have any ideas, tell me in advance."
"Ah..." Wang Xinyan's face flushed scarlet at once. Not daring to look at the young mistress, she lowered her head and walked quickly away.
Wei Zhao was rather baffled. What riddle were these two playing at? What did she mean, "have any ideas"? What ideas could Wang Xinyan possibly have?
So on the way home, Wei Zhao asked curiously, "Yaoyao, what did you say to Wang Xinyan just now?"
"Nothing much. We just got to know each other a little better, and I told her to come visit us at home when she has time," Gu Mengyao said lightly.
"Visit us?" Wei Zhao found this odd. Had the young mistress and Xiaoshu not always been rather unfriendly toward Wang Xinyan? Why the sudden change?
How could Wei Zhao know that Gu Mengyao had simply come around? Since Wei Zhao was going to take a first wife, it was naturally better if she came from among people they knew. If he brought home some domineering stranger, she and Shen Yushu might not exactly suffer for it, but it would certainly sour their mood.
Gu Mengyao did not answer, but changed the subject: "By the way, Wei Zhao, that thing the lion gave you and Xiaoshu earlier—what exactly is it? It doesn't look like much of a treasure."
"I don't know either, but it's definitely something good," Wei Zhao said. "There's powerful energy contained in it. I'll find an expert to take a look when I get the chance."
"Huh? So it really is something good?" Shen Yushu had only been making a casual demand of the lion at the time, never imagining it would actually bring her a fine treasure as tribute, so she was quite astonished: "Could it be an energy sphere?"
"An energy sphere?" Wei Zhao was taken aback. "I don't know, but this energy is different from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Even if it is an energy sphere, it's no ordinary one."
"Then it really was a stroke of luck!" Gu Mengyao said. "This trip to the tiger park wasn't very interesting to begin with, but since you got something good out of it, it wasn't a wasted trip."
"Yeah, you could call it an unexpected delight. I was only there to keep Bai Weituo company. He's Chief Bai's grandson, and Chief Bai has been good to me, so by any reasonable measure I ought to give him a hand," Wei Zhao said. "Once he's won He Meiyue over, I'll stop involving myself."
"Brother Stand-in, Xiaoshu thinks that He Meiyue is no good!" Shen Yushu said.
"Xiaoshu, don't say things like that." Gu Mengyao frowned. She and He Meiyue were hardly good friends, but she bore her no ill will either, and it was always a little unseemly for Shen Yushu to slander someone outright.
"Xiaoshu isn't talking nonsense!" Shen Yushu said. "Xiaoshu just feels that this He Meiyue is awfully calculating!"
"But still not as much as you, right?" Gu Mengyao said.
"Uh... that's not it either..." Shen Yushu, flustered, promptly shut her mouth.
"Ha, what He Meiyue is like has little to do with us. As long as Bai Weituo likes her, that's enough. So long as she doesn't do anything bad to Bai Weituo, there's no need for us to interfere." Wei Zhao shrugged and smiled. "Besides, a girl being a little calculating isn't such a bad thing, right, Xiaoshu?"
"Oh? How does Xiaoshu know..." Shen Yushu wore the look of someone who had just lost a game.
