Chapter 150 — In a Very Bad Mood: Watching Wei Zhao Walk Back to His Room, Gu Mengyao Was Nearly in Tears... She Had Never Been So Wronged in All Her Life
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Dead, probably." Gu Mengyao was out of sorts, and so she did not bother to mince words. Uncle Qing had watched her grow up, after all, and knew her temper well.
"Dead?" Uncle Qing smiled wryly. He guessed that Wei Zhao and Gu Mengyao had had another misunderstanding. But in such matters it was hard for him to put in a word. He was only a head steward at Gu Pengzhan's side, and Gu Pengzhan's attitude concerning Wei Zhao and the young miss was obscure and ambiguous at best, so Uncle Qing was all the less willing to be drawn into it.
Having helped the two young ladies set out the food, Uncle Qing knew this was no place to linger, and so took his leave first, going out of the villa.
After Uncle Qing left, only Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu remained in the vast villa. There had been two of them before; after Wei Zhao came, it had become three.
Unknowingly, Gu Mengyao had grown used to Wei Zhao coming out to help when Uncle Qing delivered the food — the three of them setting the dishes on the table, and then Wei Zhao going back to his room to wait until she and Xiaoshu had finished eating before he came out again.
Gu Mengyao wanted to call Wei Zhao out to eat with them, but pride stopped her, time and again. Little had she expected that their relationship would not only fail to thaw, but would be frozen all the harder by today's affair.
She stared listlessly at the table, at the few homely dishes that were her favorites. She had no appetite at all; after two bites she set down her chopsticks.
"Sister Yaoyao, what's the matter?" Shen Yushu looked at the somewhat haggard Gu Mengyao. "How about I call Brother Arrow out and we eat together?"
"I don't want to eat. No appetite." Gu Mengyao shook her head. "What call him out for? Let's just pretend there's no such person in this house..." Yet all unknowing, Gu Mengyao had already counted Wei Zhao as one of the villa's own — only she herself had never noticed it.
"Oh." Shen Yushu lowered her head and ate. The food today was truly delicious, she thought — there was even papaya and pork rib soup. Mm, they said it made your breasts grow. But hers seemed nicely proportioned already, and a bit fuller than most, so there was no need to grow them any further, was there? To end up like Qiu Lingshan, that dairy cow, would hardly be a pretty sight... heh heh...
Still, Sister Yaoyao ought to grow hers a little, Shen Yushu thought — she was taller than her, and yet not as full. "Xiaoshu, what are you doing?" Seeing Shen Yushu wolfing down her food with a grin at the corner of her mouth, pleased beyond measure, Gu Mengyao was suddenly furious. "How can you be so heartless? I'm in this state, and you're eating so happily? Are you trying to make me die of anger on purpose?"
"Uh, oh." Shen Yushu gulped down a piece of rib meat and nearly choked on it. "I... I was just a little hungry..."
"No more eating. Come out shopping with me!" Gu Mengyao was in a foul mood and did not want to stay at home.
"All right." Shen Yushu set down her chopsticks and cast a reluctant glance at the feast on the table.
"There's good food outside too. At worst I'll buy you deep-fried mushrooms in gutter oil!" Seeing Shen Yushu so utterly without backbone, Gu Mengyao gave her an exasperated glare.
"..." Shen Yushu was speechless. The way you put it, how am I supposed to eat another bite? Gutter oil? Is it really that disgusting?
"Come on, upstairs to change!" Gu Mengyao dragged Shen Yushu up the stairs. What the two were wearing was not school uniform, but it leaned toward a student-like, academy style, and was a bit unsuitable for going out at night.
