Chapter 2966 — Return to the Western Star Mountain Village
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"If you're coming as guests, of course you're welcome." Wei Zhao did not stand on ceremony or protest further. He merely nodded to them, then turned to Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu. "Yaoyao, what do you think?"
"Xiao Shu and I certainly have no problem with it. Only, Daddy will need to be told." Gu Mengyao was overjoyed at the thought of following Wei Zhao back to his hometown, yet her face showed only composure, as though this were the most ordinary matter in the world.
"Yaoyao, this time back home it'll be just the two of us! You'd better seize the chance and make your move!" Shen Yushu raised a fist and cheered her on.
"Xiao Shu!" Gu Mengyao kicked her under the table. "What nonsense are you spouting!"
"I'm not! I'm just stating facts..." Shen Yushu puckered her lips, looking a little wronged.
"What do you mean, just the two of you? Last time, didn't the two of you go back with me?" Wei Zhao felt his thoughts suddenly growing muddled. On that last trip to the Western Star Mountain Village, he vaguely remembered going with Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu—and yet, it seemed it had not been that way at all...
Gu Mengyao shot Shen Yushu a furious glare. What angered her was not the talk of making a move, but that phrase—just the two of us this time. It was bound to make Wei Zhao suspicious, and sure enough... there it was.
Only then did Shen Yushu realize she had let something slip. She gave an awkward laugh. "Well, it was last time too, but last time Yaoyao wasn't exactly forward about it..."
"All right, Xiao Shu, enough of that. I'll call Daddy right now and tell him about this." Gu Mengyao seized on Shen Yushu's words and steered the conversation elsewhere.
With that, she picked up her phone and dialed Gu Pengzhan's number. By then, even if Wei Zhao had his doubts, he could hardly interrupt her call, so he had no choice but to let it drop.
On the phone, Gu Mengyao gave Gu Pengzhan a rough account of Wei Zhao's injuries. Astonished, Gu Pengzhan said he and Uncle Qing would come over at once.
Gu Pengzhan was currently expanding his business in East Sea City—usually busy, but able to arrive quickly enough.
Sure enough, before long Uncle Qing drove Gu Pengzhan and Sun Luoying to Wei Zhao's villa. It turned out that when Gu Mengyao called, they had all been in a meeting at the company. Now that Sun Luoying had recovered, she naturally helped out as an assistant at Gu Pengzhan's new company in East Sea City, which also let her spend plenty of time at Uncle Qing's side.
"Xiao Yi, how did this happen?" Uncle Qing was shocked at the sight of Wei Zhao's injuries. He was one of those who knew of Wei Zhao's wondrous abilities—could Wei Zhao not heal his own wounds? Why could he not do so this time?
Wei Zhao smiled bitterly and recounted in detail the troubles he had run into, for Uncle Qing, Gu Pengzhan, and the others. On the phone, the young miss had been unable to explain clearly, giving only a vague, general sketch.
"So it's poison, and on top of that, problems with both your dantian and your meridians..." Uncle Qing nodded, understanding Wei Zhao's predicament well enough. With trouble brought on by so many overlapping problems, it was not that Wei Zhao did not wish to solve them—he simply had no way to. No wonder he meant to return to the Western Star Mountain Village. (To be continued)
