Chapter 589 — The Young Miss and Tang Yun

The Blossom Guardian

Even if she usually had her share of complaints and grudges against Wei Zhao, at this moment they had all turned into worry.

"Dad, Wei Zhao's hurt. I'm going to see him," Gu Mengyao said to Gu Pengzhan; then she grabbed Shen Yushu and ran outside.

Gu Pengzhan had meant to go see for himself when he heard Wei Zhao was injured, but seeing the frantic look on his daughter's face, he hesitated and sat back down. "Drive carefully on the road."

Gu Pengzhan was, in fact, quite satisfied with the way things stood between his daughter and Wei Zhao. It seemed that what his daughter felt for Wei Zhao was no longer merely the concern one showed an underling.

Shen Yushu was busy with the candied sweet potato. It was a hot dish; eat it cold and it lost all its charm. Wei Zhao had not arrived, but that was simply Shen Yushu's way, and no one would say a word if she picked up her chopsticks first.

"Mmph, mmph... Sister Yaoyao, what are you dragging me for?" Shen Yushu had just stuffed a chunk of sweet potato into her mouth, and Gu Mengyao's yank nearly choked her to death; her eyes rolled up in her head. She had been too busy eating in the dining room to hear Gu Mengyao on the phone in the living room, or what she had said to Gu Pengzhan.

"Your Shield Bro's been hurt. Are you coming to see him or not?" Gu Mengyao glared at her, thinking: the girl can certainly eat — so why doesn't she ever get fat? Or does it all go to her chest? Now there was a constitution to be envied.

"What? I'm coming, I'm coming! How did Shield Bro get hurt?" Shen Yushu was shocked, and ran out right behind Gu Mengyao.

"I don't know either." Gu Mengyao shook her head. She fetched her Audi 5 from the garage and drove Shen Yushu at breakneck speed toward Qianhua Waterside.

Behind their car came Uncle Qing's Bentley. Uncle Qing and Gu Pengzhan were trailing them, afraid something might happen to the two girls out so late at night — though they had no intention of going in to see Wei Zhao with them.

The Qianhua Waterside compound was not far from the villa district where Gu Mengyao lived, so although the call had been made later, they reached Fatty Lai's home first.

Fatty Lai's wife, on the other hand, had gone to fetch Tang Yun, which meant going from Qianhua Waterside all the way to the First People's Hospital and then back again. Naturally, she would be slower.

"Lai Changyi?" The moment Gu Mengyao stepped through the door she recognized Fatty Lai. She had not met many people, but she had accompanied her father to any number of banquets for famous entrepreneurs, and she had memorized the names of a good many of Songshan City's formidable bosses. Lai Changyi was one of them.

And his massive bulk had left a rather deep impression on Gu Mengyao besides.

"You... you're the Old Leader? You know me?" Fatty Lai was pleasantly surprised. Getting on good terms with the Old Leader would be a great boon to him in the future!

"My name is Gu Mengyao. Old Leader? That sounds dreadful." Gu Mengyao frowned. "Where's Wei Zhao?"

Fatty Lai pointed at a tightly shut door. "He's in there. But he won't let me in — he told me to stand guard at the door for him."

"What on earth happened?" Worried as Gu Mengyao was about Wei Zhao, since he had forbidden anyone to enter, she could hardly push the door open herself. If she ended up doing more harm than good, that would be far worse.

Fatty Lai did not dare hold anything back, and told her the whole business of how Wei Zhao had helped Tang Yun take her revenge. In his view, since Gu Mengyao was Wei Zhao's leader, she surely knew about Wei Zhao's girlfriend as well.

"Tang Yun?" When Gu Mengyao heard that Wei Zhao had been wounded avenging Tang Yun, she felt a strange discomfort in her heart. What right did he have? You're my shield, and yet you go off to avenge some other girl, and get yourself hurt doing it — did you ask my permission? Did I tell you to go? And this Tang Yun, honestly! Most of all — hadn't Wei Zhao and Tang Yun broken up? She turned to Shen Yushu. "Hey, Agent Shu 007, didn't you say Wei Zhao and Tang Yun had broken up?"

"Uh..." Shen Yushu's information had been hearsay to begin with, and now, hearing that Wei Zhao had been injured for Tang Yun's sake, she was thoroughly displeased as well! Had it been for Sister Yaoyao, fine, but for another woman — she pursed her little mouth into a pout.

One look at Shen Yushu's face told Gu Mengyao that her sources were unreliable. She glared at her and asked no more. The more she thought, the worse she felt. She wanted to go in and see how Wei Zhao was faring, yet she could not, and so she could only stand before the door, consumed with torment.

Seeing that Gu Mengyao had fallen silent, Fatty Lai did not dare speak either. He stood cautiously at her side, waiting at any moment for her orders.

After a while, the sound of a car came again from outside the villa, followed by the sound of the door opening, and a girl came stumbling and lurching into the house. Who else could it be but Tang Yun?

Tang Yun had run straight out of her hospital bed, without so much as changing out of her hospital gown, her head still wrapped in gauze, and ridden back with Fatty Lai's wife. Liu Xinwen was with her.

"Fatty Lai, how's Wei Zhao? Where is he?" Tang Yun came running over in a panic. Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu were there as well, but she overlooked them entirely, for in her eyes there was only Wei Zhao's safety; managing to notice Fatty Lai at all was already quite an achievement.

"Hmph! He's not dead yet!" Before Fatty Lai could open his mouth, Gu Mengyao gave a cold snort. At the sight of Tang Yun, a fury rose in her heart for no reason at all! Wei Zhao had been hurt precisely for Tang Yun's sake, so Tang Yun was an eyesore to her; seeing her come stumbling over, she felt a sudden surge of anger.

Only Gu Mengyao forgot that when she herself had come in earlier, she had done exactly the same.

"Ah?" Only then did Tang Yun notice Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu standing beside Fatty Lai! As one of the school's three great campus beauties, Tang Yun naturally knew the other two, and she had even spoken with Shen Yushu — how could she not recognize them?

Only Gu Mengyao forgot that when she herself had come in earlier, she had done exactly the same.
