Chapter 255 — Requesting Backup

"Huh? What do you mean?" Wei Zhao froze for a moment. Surely not. After how heartless Kang Zhaoming had been, Little Fen was still utterly devoted to him? Had he heard that right?

"Ah, Boss, you don't know. When I mentioned Kang Zhaoming to Little Fen, her expression turned strange," Kang Xiaobo sighed. "I figure she wants to forget Kang Zhaoming but just can't. After all, he was her first man, so it's only natural she remembers him clearly. It's just, how can Little Fen not see what a disgusting face Kang Zhaoming really has?"

"She knows," Wei Zhao said. "But just as you said, that man is someone she cannot easily forget. I think if you let her see Kang Zhaoming one more time, she will probably be able to let go completely. Best to let her see for herself just how heartless Kang Zhaoming is now."

"Boss, won't that upset Little Fen? She only just recovered," Kang Xiaobo said, still uneasy.

"It might, or it might not, but with me there it will be fine," Wei Zhao said. "If she doesn't face this head-on, she will never get out from under its shadow."

"You're right!" Kang Xiaobo nodded. "Boss, with you around, I'm not afraid Little Fen will relapse. But where would we even see Kang Zhaoming? My second grandpa's whole family moved to the provincial capital long ago."

"There will be a chance," Wei Zhao said lightly. "Xiaobo, you should have confidence in yourself now. Stop treating yourself as Kang Zhaoming's replacement. That way Little Fen may come to accept you little by little. If you keep dwelling on looking like your cousin and use that as your way to chase her, that's just sad!"

"Boss, don't worry, I won't embarrass you! I'll win Little Fen over for sure!" Kang Xiaobo vowed solemnly.

"You've made up your mind? You want to be with Little Fen?" Wei Zhao asked.

"I've decided! Boss, this time I really have!" Kang Xiaobo nodded gravely. "Last night, I stayed with Little Fen in the hospital all night..."

"What? No way?" Wei Zhao's eyes went wide. He had not expected his little follower to be bolder than he was. He himself had only held Tang Yun's hand and pinched Little Shu's chest, while Kang Xiaobo had already spent the whole night by a girl's bedside...

"Come on, Boss, you've got it wrong. I was just keeping watch..." Kang Xiaobo broke out in a sweat. "Nothing happened between us."

"..." Wei Zhao was speechless. "And then?" "Little Fen and I talked a lot, and I learned what she really thinks," Kang Xiaobo said. "Boss, you were right. Little Fen just won't give up. She knows it's impossible, but until Kang Zhaoming says it to her face, she won't let go!" "Still, this could break you and your cousin apart. Are you sure that's all right?" Wei Zhao asked.

"After the beastly thing Kang Zhaoming did, should I still call him my brother?" Kang Xiaobo sneered. "If it weren't for my second grandpa's sake, I'd go beat him up right now." "Beating him up is fine, but not now. You don't have what it takes yet," Wei Zhao cut him down a notch.

"I know," Kang Xiaobo sighed. "He's the second young master of the Kang family. What am I? Just a poor relative of Miracle Doctor Kang's household?"

Zhang Naipao did not come to school today. Apart from Zhong Yongliang, no one knew where he had gone, not even Gao Xiaofu, who also worked for Zhong Yongliang.

With the school, he had simply asked for a long sick leave, and with his family, Zhang Naipao had vaguely said he was going to do something big for Zhong Yongliang, then under escort from Zhong Fabai's men, he went up Chunxing Mountain...

Zhong Yongliang shot Wei Zhao a venomous look. Show off all you want. Once Zhang Naipao comes down the mountain after mastering his craft, let's see how you die!

Thinking of that, Zhong Yongliang felt a little better. Wei Zhao was dead sooner or later anyway, so let him bounce around for a couple more days, let him enjoy his last days before death! So there was a touch of pity in the way Zhong Yongliang looked at Wei Zhao now. In his eyes, Wei Zhao was already a dead man.

"Mengyao, are you free on Saturday? My dad gave me three 3D movie tickets. Let's go watch together?" Zhong Yongliang had been pressed by his father that morning to win over Gu Mengyao quickly, otherwise his uncle Jin Gubang might come up with some new plan, and if their cooperation was no longer needed, the Zhong family would get nothing out of it.

So Zhong Yongliang set about cozying up to Gu Mengyao with great attentiveness.

"I told you not to call me Mengyao. Are you deaf?" Gu Mengyao found Zhong Yongliang calling her so intimately downright sickening.

Zhong Yongliang, utterly oblivious, dragged his stool over and sat in the aisle, level with Gu Mengyao's chair. "Hehe, then I'll call you Yaoyao?" "Why don't you just go die?" Gu Mengyao frowned. "Do you want something or not?"

"Yes! Saturday, let's go see a movie together. It's the 3D version of 'Fallen Prince,' a big international film..." Zhong Yongliang fished out three movie tickets as he spoke to Gu Mengyao.

"No time. I have other plans on Saturday." Gu Mengyao refused him flatly. She had already promised Little Shu they would go bungee jumping, so naturally she would not go to any movie. Even if she were not going bungee jumping, she would never watch a movie with Zhong Yongliang. That guy was even more annoying than Wei Zhao!

Huh? At that thought, Gu Mengyao could not help but pause. Hadn't she used to find Wei Zhao even more annoying than Zhong Yongliang? Had the order changed so fast? Gu Mengyao shook her head, unsure what was going on.

"Then we can go on Sunday..." Zhong Yongliang said tirelessly, his thick face thrust forward.

Gu Mengyao was annoyed beyond endurance and nudged Shen Yushu beside her, signaling her to get Wei Zhao to handle the nuisance.

Shen Yushu giggled and caught on at once, texting Wei Zhao directly: "Yao-jie is in trouble. Requesting immediate backup."

When Wei Zhao saw Shen Yushu's text, he did not know whether to laugh or cry, but he still stood up. After all, he had promised Gu Mengyao yesterday that he would step in promptly whenever Zhong Yongliang harassed her.

"Boss, where are you going?" Seeing Wei Zhao suddenly stand up, Kang Xiaobo was puzzled.

"To the bathroom. Are you coming?" Wei Zhao asked.

"Coming, wait for me!" Kang Xiaobo stood up with Wei Zhao, but when he saw the aisle ahead blocked by Zhong Yongliang, he could not help smirking. Zhong Yongliang was about to be out of luck again!

Wei Zhao strode toward Zhong Yongliang, and Shen Yushu immediately broke into a sly grin. That idiot Zhong Yongliang still had no idea and kept pestering Yao-jie on and on. Did he not know he was about to become a flying man...
