Chapter 99 — The Car Accident Commotion
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Brother Arrow's gone over there. Shall we go take a look?" Shen Yushu figured that wherever Wei Zhao went, something amusing was bound to follow, so she caught Gu Mengyao by the hand and made to trail after him.
"I'm not going! Go by yourself if you want to!" Gu Mengyao's temper toward Wei Zhao had not yet cooled, and now that she saw him poking his nose into other people's business again, she was naturally none too pleased.
"Oh... never mind, then. Let's go buy clothes." Shen Yushu cast one reluctant glance toward Wei Zhao, then let Gu Mengyao pull her off in the direction of the mall. "Brother Arrow won't be able to find us later, will he?"
"Isn't there a car? If he can't find us, he can just wait beside it." Gu Mengyao's anger had its reasons: a pretty girl stood at the scene of the accident, and Gu Mengyao had seen her too. To watch Wei Zhao charge forward the instant a pretty face appeared was a blow to her pride, and a heavy one at that.
He lived under the same roof with her day in and day out, yet his thoughts were forever on other women. What sort of man was that! Was her charm really so pitifully low? A few days ago it had been Qiu Lingshan, and today it was this stranger...
Catching a glimpse of Wei Zhao exchanging a word with that pretty girl, Gu Mengyao's face darkened several shades further! From the look of it, they seemed to have known each other for ages. No wonder he had been so eager!
Shen Yushu naturally had no idea what was running through Gu Mengyao's mind. Seeing her face so black, she found it rather odd. Was there any call to be this angry? Could it be... that Sister Yaoyao was having her time of the month? Why else would her temper be so strange? Shen Yushu thought wickedly... Mm, possible. Very possible! Tonight she would have to conduct a thorough inspection... hee hee.
Though the accident scene was ringed by layer upon layer of onlookers, squeezing in posed no great difficulty for Wei Zhao. "Make way, all of you with no business here, disperse!"
Wei Zhao shouted as he shoved his way forward.
Those he had jostled, who had been about to grumble a word or two, shut their mouths the moment they heard him, and of their own accord opened a path for him. They took him for a traffic policeman or a hospital worker handling the scene. Who else, after all, would talk like that?
Wei Zhao slipped through without trouble, arriving just in time to see that middle-aged woman pointing at Wang Xinyan's nose and screaming abuse: "I'm telling you, if anything happens to my father, you can just wait to go to prison!"
"Auntie, I told you, I didn't hit him..." Wang Xinyan protested, somewhat aggrieved. "This is a commercial district. My speed wasn't even thirty kilometers an hour. This old gentleman fell down in front of my car by himself. I hadn't even touched him, and I hit the brakes at once!"
"Hmph, he fell right in front of your car. If you didn't hit him, then who did? I'm telling you, this isn't over!" The middle-aged woman glared viciously at Wang Xinyan. "Why are Songshan City's ambulances so slow? Does the health bureau chief want to keep his job? Husband, call the mayor for them..."
"That's enough! Stop shouting!" The middle-aged man shot the woman a glare. "What are you yelling about? Father's old illness flared up again. It has nothing to do with this young lady, so stop making things difficult for her!"
"Oh? So because this little slut is pretty, you don't even care about your own father?" At her husband's words, the middle-aged woman forgot all about cursing Wang Xinyan and turned on him instead. "What, your family's gotten mighty now, so you've forgotten how my father propped you up back then? And you dare to yell at me? And you take that little slut's side?"
