At this point Tang Yun looked very happy—for the first time, her family could earn so much money.
"Mm. Then save a little and rent a storefront, open a barbecue restaurant, and you won't have to work so hard," Wei Zhao nodded. Though he could put up another sum of money to open a shop for Tang Yun's family, with Tang Yun's temperament, she would probably never accept it.
"That is what I think too. I don't want Mom out in the wind and sun anymore. But Mom says opening a shop is risky, and she doesn't want to lose the money we've earned." Here Tang Yun could not help blushing. "She says... she says she wants to save it up for my dowry..."
"Dowry?" Wei Zhao was startled, then smiled oddly. "Then I'll have a word with Auntie. I'm not short that little dowry—she doesn't need to save it."
"You?" Tang Yun was startled too, but then she caught on, and her face turned even redder. Her small fist lightly struck at Wei Zhao. "What nonsense are you saying? I never said I was going to marry you!"
"Heh heh!" Wei Zhao caught Tang Yun's hand. "Auntie has already agreed."
After helping Tang Yun and her mother for a while, the flow of students gradually thinned. Wei Zhao helped Tang Yun's mother push the barbecue cart to the nearby warehouse, then drove her and Tang Yun toward the shantytown.
"Xiao Yi, I hear the shantytown is going to be demolished and relocated. Do you think we should take the compensation money or a resettlement apartment?" Tang Yun's mother had been unable to decide for days. With the compensation, they said a family could get several hundred thousand; but a resettlement apartment would also get them a flat about the same size as what they had now, which counted as a fairly good deal.
"A resettlement apartment would be fine too. This isn't really my field—another day I'll find someone to ask for you." The person Wei Zhao had in mind was Fatty Lai. Wasn't that his line of work, real estate? He'd certainly know if asked.
Still, knowing Fatty Lai's style, if he learned that Tang Yun was Wei Zhao's girlfriend, he might well show up the very next day and simply give them a villa. Only, in Wei Zhao's view, Tang Yun would never accept it.
"That's fine too. But it's only a rumor—whether it will actually happen is hard to say." Tang Yun's mother sighed. "Several times before they said there would be demolition, but in the end it stalled because the developer and we couldn't agree on the compensation."
"It's all right. When the time comes, if you need anything, just tell me. I have a friend in real estate—he can definitely help," Wei Zhao said.
After dropping Tang Yun and her mother off at the shantytown, Wei Zhao did not get out of the car. He drove straight back to Gu Mengyao's villa.
As for Wei Zhao's leaving early and returning late, Gu Mengyao no longer cared to say anything. She gave him a cold glance, then went back to watching TV with Shen Yushu.
"Why are you following me? I made plans with Tang Yun to go eat." Wei Zhao had not expected that little tail Feng Xiaoxiao to have followed him again.
"I'm going to eat too!" Feng Xiaoxiao blinked. "It's a good chance to get to know your girlfriend. We'll be seeing a lot of each other from now on."
"What do you mean? You want to be there every time I go on a date?" Wei Zhao's face immediately turned green.
"Yes!" Feng Xiaoxiao nodded very seriously.
