護花近衛 - 第2517章 有緣再相見 - 翰墨軒

From inside the car, Han Xiaohu and Yu Xiaoke saw Wei Zhao come walking over with a big leather suitcase in hand, and at once they were overjoyed—clearly, nothing had happened to Wei Zhao! Earlier, when they had seen You Laosan hurrying down the mountain with You Panga in tow, while Wei Zhao had not come down, their hearts had been in their throats!

They feared something had gone wrong with Wei Zhao. After all, none of the Hidden You Family people had run into trouble—in fact, they had departed in a great hurry—and yet Wei Zhao had not come down the mountain. They could not help but imagine the worst...

Yet even as they imagined it, they dared not go up the mountain. What if Wei Zhao's opponent was not the Hidden You Family at all, but that Heaven Rank vice president from the auction? If they blindly rushed up to look for Wei Zhao, would that not simply be making trouble for him?

So the only thing they could do was wait—and at last their waiting was rewarded.

"Boss!" Han Xiaohu pushed open the car door and waved joyfully at Wei Zhao.

"Xiaopo, you must have been waiting anxiously?" Wei Zhao said with a smile.

"It was all right—only, when we saw the Hidden You Family people coming down the mountain and you didn't come down, we got a little worried!" Han Xiaohu answered honestly. "Did you run into that Heaven Rank vice president again?"

"You guessed right." Wei Zhao nodded. "I did run into that vice president. The two from the You Family were nothing worth mentioning—they didn't dare make a move. Not only did they not make a move, they even gave me a suitcase full of money."

"What?" Han Xiaohu's eyes went wide. She pointed incredulously at the suitcase in Wei Zhao's hand. "This is money? The Hidden You Family people gave it to you?"

"That's right. They gave it to me," Wei Zhao said.

"Well, the boss is just amazing. What about that vice president? Nothing came of it?" Han Xiaohu had witnessed enough of Wei Zhao's extraordinary exploits by now that her heart could take it.

"That vice president wasn't bad, actually. He gave me a pure gold business card and told me we should keep working together in the future." As he spoke, Wei Zhao fished out the pure gold card.

"Pff..." Han Xiaohu coughed twice, staring at the card in Wei Zhao's hand in amazement. "Even my grandfather doesn't have a card like that—he's only got a platinum-plated one. And the boss actually has a gold one. Seems I was worried for nothing."

"There was never any need to worry." Wei Zhao said it lightly, but no one could know how dangerous it had truly been at the time. If he had not borrowed force to counter force, cleverly pushing You Laosan out in front, things could never have gone so smoothly.

But there was no need to say all this to Han Xiaohu. Cunning was not the same as real strength, after all, and telling her would only have made her worry more.

"Well then, boss, I won't disturb you any longer. I'll get back in the car first..." Han Xiaohu noticed Yu Xiaoke standing off to the side, grinning foolishly at Wei Zhao, and shook her head, quickly turning and climbing back into the car. In Han Xiaohu's view, Wei Zhao's luck with women was simply too good—beautiful women favored him wherever he went. Not that Han Xiaohu envied him; with his status, finding a girlfriend would naturally mean choosing one in ten thousand. But given his present position, he could not be as free and easy as Wei Zhao. His marriage would most likely be arranged by his family, and when the time came, he would surely wed a woman from a family or sect close to Wei Zhao.

"Xiaoke, this is for you." Wei Zhao handed the suitcase in his hand to her.

"Mm... thank you..." Yu Xiaoke gazed at Wei Zhao with deep feeling. Meeting was easy; parting was hard. Yu Xiaoke herself had never expected to run into Wei Zhao at the market, but now that she had, the thought of parting again inevitably left her heart hollow and filled with reluctant sorrow.

"How did you get here?" Wei Zhao asked.
