Chapter 398 — The Attitude of Kang Xiaobo's Parents
Though he had no idea whether that wretched drug of theirs would even work, even if it did nothing, those two fools must have been scared out of their wits by now.
An Jianwen's driver respectfully saw Wei Zhao out of the car, watched him walk into the villa, and only then drove away.
"Brother Arrow, you're back? Hee hee, Sister Yaoyao was just thinking about you!" Shen Yushu beamed and stood up to greet Wei Zhao when she saw him return.
"Xiaoshu, stop talking nonsense. When did I ever think about him?" Gu Mengyao frowned. "I only told you to call him and ask whether he got put in his place!"
"Heh... so do you hope I got put in my place or not?" Wei Zhao asked with a smile.
"I..." Gu Mengyao wanted to say of course she did, for that was exactly what she had thought before. She had agreed to let Wei Zhao go dine with An Jianwen only so she could use An Jianwen to teach Wei Zhao a lesson, and who could blame her when he had tried to peek at the wish slips she and Shen Yushu had written today?
Now that her anger had passed, however, Gu Mengyao found she was no longer so willing to see Wei Zhao suffer... She was far more eager to see how Wei Zhao had fixed An Jianwen instead.
"You came back perfectly fine, anyone can see nothing happened to you, so what does it matter what I hoped?" Gu Mengyao said coolly.
"Heh..." Wei Zhao had long grown used to the young lady's cold-on-the-outside, warm-on-the-inside personality, so he only smiled and said no more. "Watch the video. I am going to take a shower first, I reek of liquor all over!"
"You shot another video? Oh, great, I thought there would be none this time!" Shen Yushu excitedly took Wei Zhao's phone and pulled up the video file to play it...
Although Gu Mengyao said she was not interested, when Shen Yushu pressed play she still leaned her head over.
Wei Zhao went back to his room to shower, while Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu watched the video on the sofa in the living room. Seeing Wei Zhao match four men drink for drink, Shen Yushu cried out, "Wow, Sister Yaoyao, Brother Arrow is so awesome, how can he hold so much liquor?"
"What is so good about drinking!" Gu Mengyao curled her lip. "If Daddy had not been busy wining and dining every night back then, would Mommy ever have walked out on us?"
"You cannot say it like that. Hee hee, I think the way Brother Arrow drinks looks so cool!" Shen Yushu disagreed.
"Xiaoshu, how can you be such a fangirl!" Gu Mengyao scolded her.
"No, I was just saying it offhand... ha, just offhand!" Shen Yushu shook her head, her face slightly flushed.
Although Gu Mengyao seldom laughed, watching Wei Zhao torment An Jianwen, Su Taizao and Yang Ganglou like that left her helpless with laughter, especially when Su Taiwei coughed up blood. That dramatic scene looked just like a shot from a comedy film, not frightening at all, but downright hilarious!
"Sister Yaoyao, I remember in Flirting Scholar someone vomited blood just like that, right?" Shen Yushu thought for a moment and said.
"I think there was! Was it some kind of adviser? This Yang Ganglou is an adviser too, and Wei Zhao angered him right into a faint..." Gu Mengyao had to admit that Wei Zhao's words were vicious, but only for the people involved. Watching the clip as a bystander still felt thoroughly satisfying.
When they got to the inflatable doll incident afterward, Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu were even more speechless. How rotten could An Jianwen and Su Taizao be? Still, Wei Zhao's parting line telling them to keep it for their own use gave Gu Mengyao a peculiar sense of comfort. It seemed Wei Zhao was not so lecherous after all, since he had no interest even in an inflatable doll...
"Sister Yaoyao, what does an inflatable doll look like? I have never seen one. Let's go look at one someday?" Shen Yushu suggested curiously.
"Look at what? Look at your head!" Gu Mengyao was speechless and glared at Shen Yushu. "How could we ever have the nerve to walk into one of those adult shops?"
"Oh... then how about having Brother Arrow buy one back so we can study it?" Shen Yushu thought and said.
"No way. What if he uses it on the sly? That is disgusting!" How could Gu Mengyao ever agree?
Seeing Gu Mengyao refuse, Shen Yushu had no choice but to drop it...
Kang Xiaobo returned home with his heart in his throat, and what puzzled him was that the violent storm he had imagined never came! Before coming home he had already braced himself for rounds of lectures from his parents.
"Xiaobo is back?" Father Kang and Mother Kang were both sitting on the sofa. Their expressions were grave, yet they showed no sign of anger, which left Kang Xiaobo slightly stunned.
"Dad, Mom, I am back..." Kang Xiaobo nodded. "I went to the bookstore and got so absorbed in reading without realizing it, so I was delayed a bit..."
"The bookstore? What books did you buy?" Father Kang paused, noticing the bag in Kang Xiaobo's hand, and asked.
"Some about business management..." Kang Xiaobo did not hide it. His parents would have to know these things sooner or later, so it was better to tell them in advance lest they be unable to accept it later.
"Business management?" Father Kang could not help frowning when he heard that. "Instead of buying books related to your studies, you buy business management? Are you not reaching too high? Did you get provoked at the banquet today and decide you want to build some great career? But you have not even gotten into college yet, what are you reading business management for? Even if you learn it, do you think any company would want you? Even if some company wanted you, you would still start as a lowly clerk. College graduates are only clerks too, and you have not even been to college!"
Father Kang ran a small teahouse whose business was neither good nor bad, and he knew full well how hard money was to earn, so the moment he heard Kang Xiaobo wanted to study business management, he launched straight into a lecture.
"Yes, Xiaobo, about you and that girl, your father and I neither support nor oppose it for now, so you do not need to rush to carve out some career to prove yourself." Mother Kang said with some worry.
"Dad, Mom... there is a company that wants me now, but I do not have the ability to do it..." Kang Xiaobo saw from his parents' manner that they had misunderstood, and explained helplessly.
"A company wants you? But you cannot do it?" Father Kang was taken aback. "Xiaobo, what do you mean? You know nothing, yet some company wants you?"
"Yes, my boss is getting ready to open a pharmaceutical company and asked me to help. I know nothing at all, so I have to study!" Kang Xiaobo spread his hands and said with a bitter smile.
"Boss? Who is your boss? Is it that young fellow who went with you today?" Father Kang froze. "He wants to open a company? What company? Do not go messing around with him. What kind of big company could he open? If it delays your college exams, you will be the one to regret it!"
