Chapter 701 — We'll Miss It!

Gu Mengyao hadn't wanted to join in the fun, but since Shen Yushu was so full of enthusiasm, she didn't object either. She walked over and stood at Shen Yushu's side, though not directly beside An Jianwen, which left An Jianwen somewhat disappointed.

"Brother, you come too!" Shen Yushu beckoned, then said to Wei Zhao, "Brother Arrow Brand, you stand behind me and Sister Yaoyao and protect us!"

"I'll take the picture for you. I won't come over." Wei Zhao felt there was nothing worth photographing with An Jianwen.

"No way! Sister Lingshan is the only outsider here, so let her take it. Come over, quick!" Shen Yushu had started targeting Qiu Lingshan again.

Qiu Lingshan was just about to say: Why on earth should I take your picture? I'm a police officer. I have no obligation to help you shoot a family portrait. And besides, so what if I'm an outsider? As if anyone's dying to be part of your family.

But before Qiu Lingshan could get a word out, Wei Zhao said, "Heh. All right."

With that, he walked over and stood behind Shen Yushu and Gu Mengyao.

That left Qiu Lingshan instantly at a loss. Wei Zhao had already gone over—was she to take the photo or not?

"I don't have a camera!" Qiu Lingshan felt like a doormat. It was utterly humiliating.

"Sister Lingshan, you have your phone, and the resolution is really high. The sandcastle you took for me last time was beautiful!" But Shen Yushu would not let Qiu Lingshan off the hook. She wanted to make Qiu Lingshan lose face in front of her brother, to show him that this proud girl he liked was nothing but a doormat before Brother Arrow Brand.

Qiu Lingshan was furious. If it hadn't been for Wei Zhao last time, why would she have been so bored as to photograph some sandcastle? Was she brain-dead? Oh... apparently Wei Zhao thought she was brain-dead?

"I'm under no obligation!" Qiu Lingshan said coldly.

"That's enough, Qiu Lingshan. Just take one." Wei Zhao frowned. Honestly, this Qiu Lingshan—everyone was already lined up, and she still hemmed and hawed. Even if she had some grudge against Shen Yushu, he was still standing right there!

At Wei Zhao's words, Qiu Lingshan was startled. Right—Wei Zhao was standing there. If she didn't take the photo, would Wei Zhao be angry? Then she recalled that Wei Zhao had just called her Qiu Lingshan rather than "little silly girl," and she felt rather pleased. Thank goodness Wei Zhao had given her enough face in front of so many people; if he had called her "little silly girl," where would her dignity be?

"All right!" Qiu Lingshan hurriedly took out her phone to take the photo, thinking to herself that she had been so muddled with rage at Shen Yushu today that she had nearly offended Wei Zhao.

Shen Yushu was beside herself with smug delight. It seemed Qiu Lingshan was quite afraid of Brother Arrow Brand—every time he spoke, Qiu Lingshan did exactly as she was told.

Chen Yutian was even more astonished. Earlier, when Wei Zhao had stopped him from going to fetch the doctor, Qiu Lingshan had said nothing at the time, and Chen Yutian had assumed it was because she wasn't close enough to Wei Zhao to contradict him. But now it was clear that wasn't the case at all.

Wei Zhao's words seemed to have a powerful effect on Qiu Lingshan. The moment Wei Zhao opened his mouth, Qiu Lingshan complied. What exactly was their relationship? A superior and a subordinate? Otherwise, with Qiu Lingshan's temperament, when had she ever been such a doormat?

After taking the photo, Qiu Lingshan had to hand the phone to Wei Zhao with a smiling face. "Wei Zhao, what do you think of it?"

"Not bad." Wei Zhao glanced at it and nodded.

"Then, little silly—I'll send it to you when I get back, to the same address as last time?" Qiu Lingshan nearly let the words "little silly girl" slip out. Suddenly remembering that this was not a private phone call with Wei Zhao, she quickly corrected herself.

"Fine." Wei Zhao was long accustomed to Qiu Lingshan's manner and saw nothing amiss—but Chen Yutian was shocked!

Qiu Lingshan's attitude could only be described as ingratiating! When had Qiu Lingshan ever spoken to a man so amiably, so meekly? And she was using that tone with Wei Zhao?

Shen Yushu and Gu Mengyao, however, thought nothing of it. They knew Wei Zhao seemed to be someone formidable—even Qiu Lingshan had to ask him for help.

An Jianwen, though, had never imagined Wei Zhao and Qiu Lingshan were so close in private. Had he known earlier, he would have simply let Qiu Lingshan go, and he wouldn't have ended up in this mess!

Now that the photo was taken, there was no point in staying any longer. Shen Yushu had come here purely to mock and needle An Jianwen; once that was done, it was time to leave.

"Sister Yaoyao, let's go. We've taken our souvenir photo. We'll miss Brother Jianwen..." Shen Yushu paused deliberately here, then added, "his kidney, I mean!"

An Jianwen had been cursing Shen Yushu inwardly. I'm not even dead yet—what's all this about missing me? After the long pause, it turned out she meant his kidney. He knew he had been played by Shen Yushu again.

This time Qiu Lingshan also controlled her temper. Wherever Wei Zhao was present, she had decided she might as well behave—otherwise, if Wei Zhao got angry, it would be no fun at all.

Chen Yutian could only smile bitterly about his sister. He couldn't control her either; she had been like this since childhood.

As for Wei Zhao, though Chen Yutian had a hundred questions he wanted to ask, he knew that even if he asked, Wei Zhao might not answer—and besides, Wei Zhao had already said he was merely his sister's follower.

His sister's follower? His little sister was just too incredible!

Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu said goodbye to Chen Yutian and left the ward. Wei Zhao nodded to Chen Yutian and Qiu Lingshan, then followed Gu Mengyao and the others out. As for An Jianwen, Wei Zhao simply ignored him entirely.

Once out of the ward and a good distance away, Shen Yushu finally couldn't hold back her laughter. "Hahaha, this is so great! That sly fox Qiu Lingshan was pinned down completely by Brother Arrow Brand—let's see if she still puts on airs, hahahaha!"

Shen Yushu was truly happy, happy enough to die. Ever since she was little, she had hated Qiu Lingshan, feeling that Qiu Lingshan had stolen her brother away. But as she grew older, Shen Yushu came to understand: it was her brother who had pursued Qiu Lingshan, and Qiu Lingshan who had looked down on him.

In Shen Yushu's young heart, her brother was the best and most outstanding boy there was, and for Qiu Lingshan to look down on him was sheer blindness.

And so she had the wicked thought that once she got a boyfriend of her own, when the chance came, she would take Qiu Lingshan in as her very own bedchamber maid. Then she would be able to order her around properly! Even though she herself would be the junior wife, she still had that right! She was a wife after all, a junior wife, but still a wife. And junior wives were generally influential and doted upon. But a maid was different...
