Chapter 115 If you don’t seek death, you won’t die.
When Wu Zhao opened his eyes again, his gaze had returned to calm.
Lan Yao noticed that she was in a bad mood and subconsciously took out a bag of snacks.
"Miss, these are some cookies I just baked before I left." Lan Yao tore open the paper bag, and a sweet, milky aroma wafted out.
Wu Zhao's eyes lit up: "I am indeed a little hungry, and it's a bit boring waiting for someone."
Zi Yao glanced at the sun and said uncertainly, "This... I'm worried that if there are more people later and the car suddenly appears, won't it cause panic?"
"Don't worry, if he can deal with that evil spirit, he'll also think of a way to avoid causing a disturbance." Wu Zhao remained calm.
If you can't even do this, then you should give up the high priesthood as soon as possible.
"How long do we have to wait?" Zi Yao, being a free spirit, couldn't help but ask.
"Hmm..." Wu Zhao said uncertainly while eating a cookie, "If it's fast, it'll be right away; if it's slow... it's hard to say."
After meeting Wu Shixu that day, Wu Zhao vaguely sensed that her entanglement with the Wu family had become deeper, and she feared that it wouldn't be long before she had to return to the Wu family.
So, before going to the Wu family, it shouldn't be a problem to have a little contact with the other members of the Wu family, right?
Today's unexpected event will give her a good chance to learn about the abilities of the other sorcerers in the Wu family besides Wu Shiyu.
The small bag of cookies was quickly finished, but the car still hadn't appeared.
Ziyao was already bored and squatted on the ground counting ants.
Wu Zhao's originally calm expression changed slightly.
The next second, that familiar car drove out from the path behind the teachers' apartments.
"Miss, the car is out!" Lan Yao exclaimed in surprise.
The car quickly drove past the teachers' apartment building and stopped right next to them.
Behind the rolled-down car window, Wu Liufeng looked at Wu Zhao with a cold gaze.
A strange feeling made him unconsciously hold his breath.
“Not bad, young Wu family member.” Wu Zhao walked to the car door, the ring on her hand flashing.
Wu Liufeng felt the spirit he had suppressed within the talisman vibrate and uncontrollably pull itself out of the talisman.
...and then Wu Zhao stuffed it into the ring.
"Go back and tell Wu Shixu that I will be back soon." She patted Wu Liufeng's shoulder, and a stream of pure spiritual energy entered his body from Wu Zhao's fingertips.
“Oh, by the way,” Wu Zhao said, withdrawing his hand, “my name is Wu Zhao.”
Wu Liufeng's body trembled slightly, and a hint of doubt and confusion appeared in his eyes.
But after hearing Wu Zhao's praise, he couldn't help but smile.
"You..." Before he could speak, Wu Zhao had already withdrawn his hand.
She looked at Ziyao and Lanyao: "Alright, let's go back."
After the three had walked a distance, the driver finally asked, "Young Master, shall we go back?"
Wu Liufeng gripped the now-ineffective talisman tightly, his voice taut: "Go back and see my father!"
……
As expected, Wu Zhao saw Helan Jue squatting dejectedly outside the Gu family's villa.
"Why is he back again?" Zi Yao clicked her tongue twice. "He looks really devastated."
Lan Yao shook his head: "Love really is a source of endless tossing and turning. I never want to get married in this lifetime."
After getting out of the car, Wu said to Helan Jue, "Do you still want your son? Even if it's from your past life."
"Yes! Is he alright?" He Lanjue stood up, her eyes wide.
Wu Zhao turned the ring on his hand: "It's nothing serious, just that one of my arms was broken. I guess I'll need to recover for a while."
It must have been out of respect for the golden light of merit that Wu Liufeng showed mercy.
To be able to restrain oneself and show mercy without knowing the truth...
The children of this generation in the Wu family are all very well-mannered.
Wu Liufeng looks a lot like him...
A figure appeared before Wu Zhao's eyes: a tall man wearing a fitted robe and raising his hand to stroke her hair.
A gentle voice, tinged with a smile, said, "Our Zhaozhao has grown up; she is the hope of the family."
Brother...
Wu Zhao's expression became somewhat blank.
Soon, a faint voice abruptly interrupted her recollection.
"Zhaozhao, are you back?"
Gu Chen, sitting in a wheelchair, appeared on the second-floor balcony, the midday sun shining warmly on his handsome face.
It made him look like he was glowing.
Wu Zhao snapped out of his daze. "Ah, right. I'm back."
"I have something I want to tell you, would you like to come up?" Gu Chen couldn't see, but could only turn his head in the direction her voice came from.
He Lanjue wanted to say a few more words, but she met a pair of empty yet deep eyes.
It felt as if he had fallen into an abyss, making him feel cold all over and momentarily forget what he wanted to say.
Wu Zhao had no suspicions and said, "Okay, I'll go up right away."
She then said to Helan Jue, "Wait a few days, and I'll help you solve your problem."
After she jogged into the gate, Gu Chen turned back.
She said casually, "Another customer...?"
Wu Zhao went upstairs and pushed open Gu Chen's door. "Is there still no news from Jin Yao?"
Gu Chen's hand rubbed awkwardly against the armrest of the wheelchair.
Then he said, "Not yet."
"Zhaozhao, the hospital called. The old man wants to see you."
Wu Zhao was somewhat surprised: "Your grandfather is better now?"
"I don't know." Gu Chen lowered his head, his expression unreadable.
But his voice was somewhat low: "He did see me with Yue Jinsheng's fiancée that day."
Wu Zhao frowned, feeling a sudden surge of irritation.
For some reason, she didn't want to hear Gu Chen talk about this. She said, "Oh, so you two were entangled back then?"
"No!" Gu Chen immediately denied.
Then, realizing he might have been too quick to refute, he added, "By then I was already losing my sight, and she suddenly burst in and started taking off her clothes..."
"You saw her?" Wu Zhao asked abruptly.
Gu Chen's fingers twitched slightly, and he shook his head: "No, she asked me to help her zip up her fly, and after I refused, she started taking it off herself, so I avoided her—"
"My vision went black, and I wanted Qingyao to come up, but before he could get here, someone pushed the door open. Then she pounced on my wheelchair..."
Wu Zhao interrupted him, narrowing his eyes: "That's quite a coincidence."
Gu Chen smiled wryly: "I also think it's quite a coincidence. After the person came in, I couldn't see him at all. Even though Qing Yao kept emphasizing that I told him to go upstairs, the old man didn't believe me."
Wu Zhao didn't believe that the old patriarch of the Gu family couldn't see through such an obvious frame-up.
But he still stepped in and convicted Gu Chen.
Now that he specifically wants to see her again, it's really hard to figure out.
After not hearing Wu Zhao speak for a while, Gu Chen's emotions began to fluctuate.
"Zhaozhao?" he called softly, "Are you... are you going to see the old man?"
Wu Zhao pressed the gem on his ring and chuckled twice.
"Yes, why not?"
She was also very curious about the legendary patriarch of the Gu family.
Just then, her phone vibrated in her pocket, and Wu Zhao took it out to look at it.
It was a text message sent by Wu Xingyun.
[Grandma, Mo Dahai said that the travel show is preparing to resume airing. He said the Shen family has invested in the show and wants us to go there immediately.]
[Shen Jiaojiao contacted me saying you've blocked them all, should we still go?]
The Shen family is on the verge of bankruptcy, where would they get the funds to invest in this program?
Wu Zhao raised an eyebrow, suddenly remembering something she had forgotten.
Grandma's inheritance!
Shen Jiaojiao persuaded Xie Buji to take away his grandmother's inheritance!
"Very well, you dare to touch Grandma's things..."
That was the only thing that the kind and gentle old man left for his orphaned granddaughter.
But it was taken over by villains...
"Zhao Zhao?" Gu Chen felt a chill emanating from her and was somewhat worried.
Wu Zhao sneered: "Some people really like to court death."
Shen Jiaojiao, it's time to pay the price!
A thunderclap boomed outside the window, as if it were a warning from the heavens.
A cold glint flashed in Wu Zhao's eyes, and a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his lips.
"We'll see!"
