Chapter 366 — Tit for Tat
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Young Master Lin, hello! President Tian sent me." A man of about thirty walked briskly up to Wei Zhao's car. He showed not the slightest contempt for the shabbiness of the vehicle; his eyes held a respectful look throughout, without a trace of doubt. "My name is Li Yixun. Young Master Lin can just call me Xiao Li."
Uncle Tian had evidently given him the license plate number beforehand, for he identified Wei Zhao at once.
"Ha, Mr. Li, just take us to the villa." Wei Zhao spoke politely.
"This way, please, Young Master Lin." Li Yixun nodded. "Shall I get in your car, or will you ride in mine?"
As he spoke, Li Yixun pointed to a business van parked not far off.
"Get in, Mr. Li. I can drive myself," Wei Zhao said.
Li Yixun said no more. He got in and directed Wei Zhao along the way. Very soon Wei Zhao arrived before a detached villa by the sea — surely the villa with the finest view of them all.
At the villa's gate, however, stood a sign reading "Private Use," making clear that it was not open to guests.
"Young Master Lin, the villa has been made ready. You can move in directly!" Li Yixun said, and handed Wei Zhao a business card. "This is how to reach me. If you need anything at all, Young Master Lin, contact me directly."
"All right, thank you." Wei Zhao took the card and put it away.
Li Yixun was a man of few words. He nodded and left. The reason such a man could be entrusted with important matters was precisely his style of working: he said no more than necessary and asked no more than necessary.
"Young Master Lin? Leader, you are not really some rich family's young master, are you? Did you not say you only had a wealthy relative?" Hearing Li Yixun call Wei Zhao "Young Master Lin," Kang Xiaobo looked at him excitedly. "Leader, confess — are you or are you not one of those legendary second-generation rich kids?"
"Do I look like one?" Wei Zhao smiled bitterly. "That brother of yours, now, he is..."
"Heh heh... Huh? Xiaofen?" Kang Xiaobo had meant to tease him a bit more, but when he looked down he saw that Xiaofen's face was already streaked with tears. His heart nearly burst with fright. "Xiaofen, do not cry. What is wrong?"
Hearing Kang Xiaobo's cry, Wei Zhao and Tang Yun turned as well, and saw Xiaofen's tear-wet face...
But neither Wei Zhao nor Tang Yun knew what to say, for this had been expected. Xiaofen had seen Kang Zhaoming again. Though they had not met face to face, a distant glimpse alone was enough to shake her fragile heart.
At such a moment, only Kang Xiaobo could comfort her. Anything Wei Zhao or Tang Yun said would be superfluous.
"Xiaobo, why not carry Xiaofen inside and talk to her properly?" Wei Zhao suggested.
"All right..." Kang Xiaobo nodded hurriedly in agreement, gathered Xiaofen in his arms, and ran into the villa...
"Let us wait a while before going in..." Wei Zhao sighed, parked the car properly at the villa gate, and shut off the engine.
"Xiaofen really is pitiful..." Tang Yun sighed too, watching the backs of Xiaofen and Kang Xiaobo, and shook her head. "I hope this time she can walk out of the shadow for good..."
