Chapter 712 — Can't Be With You for a Lifetime

The Blossom Guardian

"Oh, so can you put up with Brother Shield fooling around with other girls?" Shen Yushu pressed on. "Or, to put it another way, could you accept him having other wives?"

"Huh?" Tang Yun was stunned by Shen Yushu's question. What kind of question was that? What did she mean by asking if she could accept him having other wives? How could she possibly accept that? Surely it was not just her, no other girl would accept it either... Hmm? Wait, no!

Tang Yun was about to say of course she could not accept it, but she swallowed the words right back! Was this not a trap Shen Yushu had set for her? After all, there really were girls who could accept Wei Zhao having other wives, and those were Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu!

Had those two not always claimed they would be Wei Zhao's senior and junior wives? And do some threesome thing together!

Tang Yun felt torn. Shen Yushu really was not as silly as she looked. Talking to her was nerve-racking at every step! One careless move and you would fall straight into a trap! Every one of Shen Yushu's questions was so tricky and so hard to answer.

Tang Yun thought, if she answered that she could not accept it, what if Shen Yushu used that to attack her? She might say, you cannot accept it, but we can! Would that not make her look petty and leave her a head shorter than them?

But to say she could accept it... Tang Yun really could not! Why should she? Why on earth should she have to accept other wives? Was that not just asking for trouble?

Yet with Shen Yushu staring at her, Tang Yun knew she had to answer. Thinking back, she had already steeled herself to be the other woman in front of Feng Xiaoxiao, so what was accepting some wife or other? So she gritted her teeth and forced out, "That depends on what kind of wife she is..."

Tang Yun's answer was deliberately vague, leaving the initiative entirely in her own hands. In other words, whether she accepted or not was all up to her! She had given no standard for judgment either.

Even so, Tang Yun's answer caught Wei Zhao completely by surprise. Tang Yun could actually accept him having other girls?

"Oh, then what do you think of me being Brother Shield's junior wife? Sister Yaoyao can be the senior wife, and you can be the middle wife? Or you can be the senior wife, you two can work it out, I will just be the junior wife." Shen Yushu said.

"Huh?" Tang Yun had not expected Shen Yushu to follow up with that. Was this not putting her on the spot? Should she say yes or no? To say yes, she was still a little unwilling, but to say no, would that not be telling Shen Yushu to her face that she was not qualified? Would that not offend her?

"Xiaoshu! What nonsense are you talking?" Gu Mengyao frowned. Hearing Shen Yushu sound more and more outrageous, she hurriedly stopped her from going on. "Why has the food not come yet? Let us see if it will not shut your mouth in a bit?"

"Oh... I will not say any more, I was just talking casually." Shen Yushu waved her hand to show she was done.

"Tang Yun, Xiaoshu is just like this, talking nonsense all day. I feel like sending her to a mental hospital." Gu Mengyao explained with a flushed face. Shen Yushu had dragged her into it just now, which left Gu Mengyao feeling uncomfortable all over.

"Oh, Sister Yaoyao, do not send me to a mental hospital..." Shen Yushu cried out. "There is nothing fun in there."

"..." Gu Mengyao was instantly speechless, and so was Tang Yun! Shen Yushu did not want to go to a mental hospital only because there was nothing fun in there?

"It is nothing, I am starting to get used to it..." Tang Yun touched her forehead and smiled bitterly.

Wei Zhao did not cut in from the side. How could he? This topic... seemed rather favorable to him?

Soon the food arrived, and the shark meat Shen Yushu had ordered separately was set on the table. In no time all the dishes were ready. It had to be said, the efficiency at the Pengzhan Grand Hotel was quite impressive.

"All right, the dishes are all here. I wanted to say a few words of thanks, but I am actually not good with words. Wei Zhao knows that, I do not talk much..." Gu Mengyao wanted to say something before the meal, but she rarely spoke on such occasions, so she did not know what to say. Before she could finish, however, she saw Shen Yushu over there secretly picking up a piece of shark meat to pop into her mouth. Gu Mengyao angrily rapped Shen Yushu's hand with her chopsticks, knocking the shark meat into her bowl. "Xiaoshu! What are you doing?"

"I just wanted to taste if it is good..." Shen Yushu said with a mournful face, rubbing her wrist. "Oh, you nearly crippled me..."

"The guest has not eaten yet, how can you eat first?" Gu Mengyao scolded.

"How was I supposed to know? At home I always eat first..." Shen Yushu said weakly.

"It is nothing, let her eat..." Seeing how pitiful Shen Yushu looked, Tang Yun stopped Gu Mengyao from losing her temper. She herself did not stand on ceremony anyway, it did not matter who ate first.

"Sorry about this... this Xiaoshu..." Gu Mengyao rubbed her temples. "Living with her, you need really strong nerves."

Tang Yun shook her head. Shen Yushu was indeed quirky and clever, but living with her would surely be full of fun too. Everything had two sides. But Tang Yun tossed that thought aside the next moment! Live with Shen Yushu? Did that mean really letting her be Wei Zhao's junior wife?

Shen Yushu went on eating the shark meat, but after one bite she shook her head. "It is not as good as what Brother Shield makes!"

"Wei Zhao can't stay with you forever! You have to learn to adapt to life!" Gu Mengyao glared at Shen Yushu and said.

Shen Yushu fell silent and kept her head down over the shark meat, and the atmosphere grew a little heavy.

Tang Yun did not know what to say either. Looking at Shen Yushu's pitiful expression, she could not find a way to comfort her. Was she supposed to have Wei Zhao be her nanny for life? Then what would become of herself?

Although Gu Mengyao tried hard to keep up the mood of the meal, the harder she tried, the stranger the atmosphere felt. Tang Yun felt uncomfortable too. She felt that Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu really were two formidable rivals.

When it came time to pay after the meal, Gu Mengyao produced a VIP card, which visibly startled the server in charge of the private room! She had not expected Gu Mengyao to hold a diamond card from this place! The diamond card was a VIP card issued in only small numbers by the Gu Group, with fewer than a hundred ever given out in total!

The diamond card entitled the holder to a whole range of member services such as a private entrance, private VIP rooms, and a private chef, along with fifty percent off the entire bill. The card was valid across all properties under the Gu Group, and there was no need to worry about counterfeits, because each card carried identification data. A single scan on the computer would display the cardholder's identity and details.
