Chapter 409 — I'm Coming to See You

But now Zhong Yongliang regretted it. Had he known it would come to this, he would have warned Feng Xiaoxiao even at the cost of utter humiliation! Now they were finished. If Feng Xiaoxiao ever learned the truth, the consequences were all too easy to imagine.

"Boss Wei Zhao, you wouldn't screw us over like this, would you..." Zhong Yongliang pleaded, his face twisted with misery. Compared with this, he would rather have taken a beating from Wei Zhao!

"Two choices. One, kneel in the restroom for ten minutes by yourself, then get out. Or two, I go and tell Feng Xiaoxiao the truth," Wei Zhao said.

"All right, I'll kneel!" Though Zhong Yongliang found the thought of kneeling on a piss-soaked floor disgusting, compared with telling Feng Xiaoxiao the truth he would rather kneel — otherwise he would die a far more horrible death.

"Fine, I'm leaving." Wei Zhao had no patience for these two idiots; he only meant to teach them a lesson. Whether they knelt or not was up to their own conscience. Still, he added: "You can try to fake it, but I might be everywhere."

"Don't worry, Boss Wei Zhao!" Zhong Yongliang trembled with fright. He had been planning to slip away the moment Wei Zhao left, but that one sentence scared him half to death!

Thinking it over carefully, Wei Zhao really did seem to be everywhere. Every time he got cocky, Wei Zhao's shadow was there to ruin it... Zhong Yongliang was speechless. Had Wei Zhao been sent by heaven just to spite him? He could only say: "Can Xiaofu and I kneel in turns? That way one of us can keep watch..."

"Whatever. Ten minutes each, as long as it adds up." With that, Wei Zhao turned and left. Kang ** took advantage of the noon break to go looking for Xiaofen. Now that the knot in Xiaofen's heart had been untied, she was much more cheerful, and Kang **'s feelings seemed to have settled at last. His contact with Xiaofen grew more and more frequent.

Wei Zhao guessed he had gone to discuss with Xiaofen about university in the future, so he did not disturb him. Instead he called Tang Yun, only to learn, unexpectedly, that Tang Yun was not at school either — she had gone to the hospital to look after her father and see that he ate lunch.

During the day, Tang Yun's mother had resumed her business at the snack street behind the school, so the task of delivering lunch to Tang Jucheng fell to Tang Yun. Her mother cooked the food at home, brought it to school, set up her stall to do business, and Tang Yun carried the lunchbox to the hospital.

"Why didn't you say something? I would have driven you there," Wei Zhao said with a frown. Taking the bus to the hospital by herself would waste a great deal of Tang Yun's time.

"I was afraid you were busy, so I didn't bother you..." Tang Yun seemed delighted by his words. "I thought you'd taken Kang ** back to see Xiaofen..."

"Why would I drive him to see Xiaofen? She's not my wife," Wei Zhao said, speechless.

"You're awful..." Tang Yun caught the implication — so if she were his wife, he would drive her? And what did it mean that he wanted to drive her to the hospital? Did that mean she was his wife?

"Heh, I'll come pick you up, and take a look at how Uncle Tang is doing while I'm at it." Wei Zhao had nothing to do at school anyway. Once Feng Xiaoxiao got back, there would probably be no end of trouble, so he might as well make himself scarce early.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you in the ward." Tang Yun had meant to refuse — the noon hour was already tight, and she did not want Wei Zhao running back and forth — but when she heard he wanted to check on her father, she agreed.

"See you in a bit, then." Wei Zhao hung up and went to the snack street behind the school to get his car.

Tang Yun put her phone away, pleased, but when she turned around she saw her father watching her with a smile, and she immediately grew embarrassed.

As for Wei Zhao's forceful entry into their affairs, Tang Yun's father and mother had long since stopped objecting. Tang Jucheng owed even his ability to have the surgery to Wei Zhao — if not for Wei Zhao putting up the money, he would still be lying at home.

"Was that Wei Zhao?" Tang Jucheng asked.

"Mm... he said he wants to come see you..." Tang Yun had known Wei Zhao knew medicine, but she had assumed he only knew a little. After what happened yesterday, though — Fatty Lai kneeling on the ground sobbing until he could barely breathe, Liu Tianyi fawning over Wei Zhao, Guan Xuemin treating Wei Zhao with such respect — Tang Yun was utterly stunned!

Even after she reached the hospital, she could not calm her racing heart for a long time.

It seemed she had underestimated Wei Zhao after all. He was not the rich brat she had imagined, throwing his weight around on the strength of his family's money. Wei Zhao's arrogance rested entirely on his own abilities!

If Wei Zhao truly had no skill, how could he command the respect and recognition of so many people? Fatty Lai might not know the real story — perhaps he had simply lost his head. But Liu Tianyi and Guan Xuemin — surely they had not lost their heads too?

It seemed Wei Zhao's medical skill was not merely a smattering; it was truly astonishing! Even as Tang Yun felt proud of Wei Zhao, that fragile young heart of hers began to waver a little.

Wei Zhao was so outstanding — could she ever be worthy of him? Would he cast her aside someday? Her family had no money and could offer him no help; the only thing she had going for her was that she was a little prettier than most...

But pretty girls were everywhere. Why would Wei Zhao choose her? Though Tang Yun did not want to dwell on such things — they were still young, and marriage was far off — seeing how extraordinary Wei Zhao was, she could not help turning these thoughts over...

Wei Zhao headed for the snack street behind the school to get his car. These days the vendors there reserved a parking spot for him every day. Who would dare provoke this young master?

Tang Yun's mother's business was booming too. No one dared be jealous now — jealousy would be pure suicide! Everyone, including Zhang Biaogan, who had once kicked up the biggest fuss, was friendly and polite to her. In the days she had not come to set up her stall, no one had dared take her spot, and the moment she arrived they all greeted her warmly, asking why she had been away.

It left Tang Yun's mother flattered and, in her heart, all the more grateful to Wei Zhao. Her family was coming back to life! She believed things would only get better. Her business had turned around, her man had had his surgery, and she trusted he would soon be on his feet again. Even if he could not walk normally, a slight limp would not matter — he could still come and help her out...

Thinking of how full of hope her future was, Tang Yun's mother's face was wreathed in smiles, and she seemed years younger, which drew admiring glances from the male vendors.

Anyone could tell from Tang Yun's beauty how lovely her mother must have been when she was young, but no one dared make crude jokes at her — everyone knew she had a hoodlum for a son-in-law!
