He would surely tell Bing Shao about this and let that boy learn how powerful he was! As for Liu Xinwen, once he was on good terms with Bing Shao, he would no longer fear her!
"Stop the car? Are you not going to school?" Wei Zhao asked, watching Tang Yun glance anxiously this way and that.
"I am going to school, but let me out. What if someone sees us?" Tang Yun said anxiously, yet she dared not move rashly. With the car racing along, how could she just open the door?
"I have business this morning and will not go to school. I will drop you at the snack street in a bit." Wei Zhao smiled. "That should be all right now, is it not?"
"You... how can you be like this..." Tang Yun wanted to argue back but could find no reason. She could only glare sullenly at Wei Zhao, feeling that ever since she had met him, her ties with him had become hopelessly tangled.
"Believe it or not, I was really just passing by." Wei Zhao shrugged innocently.
Tang Yun would not believe a word of it. How could there be such a coincidence? They met yesterday and they meet again today?
Still, she pouted, knowing she could never win an argument with Wei Zhao. Feeling wronged, she sat there like a bullied child, turning her head to look out the window and trying her best not to look at Wei Zhao.
"About yesterday, was it you who spread the rumor?" Tang Yun gazed out the window for a while, then suddenly remembered she still had to question Wei Zhao.
"Yesterday?" Wei Zhao was taken aback and looked at Tang Yun in surprise, utterly at a loss. "What happened yesterday?"
"You..." Tang Yun could not tell whether Wei Zhao truly did not know or was only pretending. She could only grit her teeth and say, "You wrote me a love letter..."
"I wrote you a love letter?" Wei Zhao was stunned again, then recalled the rumor going around the school yesterday and could not help smiling bitterly. "Am I such a boring man? If I wanted to pursue you, would I need to spread rumors?"
"That..."
Shameless as Wei Zhao's words sounded, Tang Yun did not doubt him this time! Indeed, he was right. If he wanted to pursue her, why would he need to spread rumors? He had already won Mother Tang over so completely that she wished Tang Yun would make friends with him. Was there any need to invent such pointless gossip? It would only make her dislike him more.
"Perhaps someone saw us and misunderstood." Wei Zhao thought to himself, my dear girl, I would have to be sick to spread rumors. I already have two young ladies at home, and they lost their tempers just last night.
"Oh..." Tang Yun answered aggrievedly and pursed her lips. "Then from now on... stop coming to me all the time... or people will be even more convinced it is true..."
"Ha, it really was a chance meeting." Wei Zhao said helplessly. How could he explain it? Every time was a chance meeting.
Tang Yun ignored him, sitting quietly with her chin resting on her hand until the car reached the snack street behind the school. Wei Zhao parked the car and unlocked the central lock.
Tang Yun opened the door and got out, then suddenly remembered Mother Tang had asked her to tell Wei Zhao to come over on the weekend. Though she did not want to speak to Wei Zhao again, if she said nothing now, Mother Tang might press her to go to Wei Zhao's classroom alone to find him, and would that not confirm the school rumor even more?
