Chapter 2943 — Zhao Qilei's Invitation
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"I don't know either. She went into her room and hasn't come out since..." Han Xiaochao set down the book in his hands and said weakly.
"All right." Faced with such a bookworm, Wei Zhao could not ask much more. He supposed the boy did not care in the least about his sister's invention or whatever it was; whether his sister was there or not made little difference to him.
On the drive home, Wei Zhao's phone rang again—and to his surprise, the caller was Zhao Qilei!
"Qitan, why are you calling at this hour?" Wei Zhao knew Zhao Qilei had been busy lately. Competing with Zhao Qibing for the position of young family head's heir, the two had been throwing all their energy into open and covert struggles within the family, leaving no time to chat idly with Wei Zhao.
"Boss, here's the thing. This weekend my grandfather is hosting—he invites you to our Hidden Zhao family as a guest for a meal. Of course, if you think it's not suitable here, we can go to another restaurant." Zhao Qilei said, a little excited. "Grandfather says he wants to confirm the relationship between our Hidden Zhao family and you, and while we're at it... confirm my position as young family head..."
"Oh?" Wei Zhao was slightly taken aback. He had not expected the old master Zhao to have already made his decision. The old man had said before that he would treat Wei Zhao to a meal in apology, and his attitude toward Zhao Qilei had changed greatly—but Wei Zhao had assumed he would still struggle over it for a few days. Now it seemed the matter was settled!
As for the old master's suggestion that they could eat at a restaurant outside, that was presumably out of fear that Wei Zhao might think going into the Hidden Zhao family's territory would be problematic. But with Wei Zhao's present strength, a mere Hidden Zhao family was nothing to fear. Naturally he agreed readily: "This weekend? What time exactly?"
"Eleven o'clock Saturday noon. Boss, you've agreed?" From Wei Zhao's tone, Zhao Qilei gathered that he had.
"Yeah, we'll go to your Hidden Zhao family then. I'll be there a little after ten," Wei Zhao said. Since it was Zhao Qilei's invitation, Wei Zhao would naturally give him full face.
After hanging up, Gu Mengyao asked, "Do you have something this weekend?"
"Yeah, Zhao Qilei says the Hidden Zhao family is treating me to a meal. I have to go over," Wei Zhao nodded, then asked, "Do you have something?"
"Actually it's nothing much—it's just that Little Shu and I haven't gone out shopping in a long time, and we wanted you to come with us," Gu Mengyao said.
"Oh, then I'll go with you on Sunday," Wei Zhao nodded. He thought to himself that it was hard on them: on the days he was away from home, afraid of running into enemies and causing him trouble, they did not even dare go to the mall.
"Yeah. By the way, Wei Zhao, any progress on our cultivation mantras?" Gu Mengyao asked casually. After all, she too cared a great deal about Little Shu's earlier suggestion.
"Not yet..." Wei Zhao smiled bitterly. Unless one day he and White Collar returned together to the Five Luminaries Sect, there was no way to find a large number of matching superior mantras. Otherwise, with some random cut-rate goods picked up off the street, Wei Zhao would not dare let Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu cultivate them!8
