Chapter 898 — Who Is Right, Who Is Wrong?

"Is that so..." Shen Yushu nodded after hearing this. "Maybe Brother Shield likes you?"

"Huh?" Gu Mengyao was taken aback. Shen Yushu's words made her blush in spite of herself, but she still spat back: "How is that possible? Don't talk nonsense! If he liked me, why would he go after Tang Yun?"

"Who told Tang Yun to be bolder than you!" Shen Yushu, however, saw it clearly: "Sister Yaoyao, if you had confessed earlier, Brother Shield would have been yours!"

"..." Gu Mengyao's heart tightened. Was that really so? But still she shook her head. "Let's not talk about this anymore. I'm calling Tang Yun."

At school, Tang Yun had been restless all morning. After parting with Wei Zhao in the morning, she worried about him constantly, but she didn't dare call him, afraid of disturbing him. As a result, she failed to take in a single word the teacher said, her mind entirely occupied with thoughts of Wei Zhao.

She barely managed to endure until noon, still without any news from Wei Zhao. Unable to contain herself, she finally called him — but the phone only gave the power-off tone. Tang Yun's heart tightened at once, and a sense of dread surged into her mind.

Why was Wei Zhao's phone off? Earlier, it had been Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu whose phones were off. Now Wei Zhao's was off too! Had something happened to him as well?

At that thought, Tang Yun hurriedly called Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu again, but both were still unreachable. Panic began to rise in her heart! She wanted to know Wei Zhao's condition, but at that moment she didn't know whom to ask. Frantic, she paced in circles, lost all appetite for lunch, and sat alone in her classroom seat, staring blankly into space, utterly at a loss.

Just then, Tang Yun's phone suddenly rang. Startled, she quickly picked it up, only to see an unfamiliar landline number on the caller ID. She answered at once: "Hello?"

"Tang Yun? It's Gu Mengyao." The young lady's phone was dead, so she could only use the house phone to call Tang Yun. Fortunately, she had always harbored a natural hostility toward Tang Yun, so she remembered Tang Yun's number clearly — otherwise she truly wouldn't have known how to get in touch.

"Ah? Gu Mengyao? You're all right?" Tang Yun's heart relaxed. Since Gu Mengyao was all right, Wei Zhao should be all right too. But the next moment, her heart tightened again! If Wei Zhao was fine, then why hadn't he called her himself? Why was Gu Mengyao the one calling instead? That didn't quite make sense. So she instinctively asked: "Where's Wei Zhao? Is he with you?"

"Wei Zhao..." Though Gu Mengyao had already resolved to tell Tang Yun, the words caught in her throat as she said them. She didn't know how to say it — how could she face Tang Yun?

"What happened to Wei Zhao?" Seeing Gu Mengyao hesitate, Tang Yun felt an even stronger sense of foreboding. "What's wrong with him?"

"He... he was hurt..." Gu Mengyao gritted her teeth and forced the words out. "I'm sorry..."

"Hurt? Is it serious?" Tang Yun asked urgently.

"He's unconscious, but he should be out of danger by now... after all, every time he's been hurt before, he's turned danger into safety..." Gu Mengyao said carefully. This time, before Tang Yun, her imposing manner wilted a little; but there was no helping it — Wei Zhao had been hurt because of her.

"Should be?" Tang Yun was a little angry. What did "should be" mean? How could she be so careless! She quickly asked: "Then what did the doctor say? Where are you now? I'm coming over immediately!"

"We didn't go to the hospital. We're at the family villa..." Gu Mengyao said.

"What! Why didn't you go to the hospital? You guys... honestly!" Tang Yun was frantic. "He's injured, and you don't send him to the hospital — are you trying to kill him?"

"Tang Yun, hear me out first!" Gu Mengyao naturally understood Tang Yun's state of mind. "Wei Zhao is hurt, that's true, but he's recovered on his own every time he's been injured before. And this time, he only asked us to take him somewhere quiet to heal — he didn't ask us to send him to the hospital..."

"I see..." Tang Yun suddenly remembered that Wei Zhao had once gone to cause trouble for Zhao Qibing on her account. After demolishing his building, he had been beaten by Zhao Qibing's men, and he also hadn't gone to the hospital, choosing instead to return to Lai Pangzi's home to heal! Afterwards, with no help from any doctor at all, Wei Zhao had recovered on his own! At the thought, Tang Yun felt a little embarrassed by her earlier rashness. "I was too anxious. I'm sorry. I'll head over right now!"

Tang Yun's apology instead made Gu Mengyao feel awkward. After all, Wei Zhao had been hurt for her sake, and Tang Yun still spoke that way — the guilt in her heart grew even heavier. "You don't need to apologize to me. It's not wrong for you to worry about Wei Zhao. In the end, it's all because of me that Wei Zhao got hurt. I'm the one who should be saying sorry to you!"

"Alright, who's right and who's wrong — let's not discuss that for now. I'm going over right away!" Tang Yun didn't want to dwell on the matter; there was no point. Her worry for Wei Zhao had already outweighed any resentment she felt toward Gu Mengyao.

Although Tang Yun still felt somewhat aggrieved that Wei Zhao had been hurt for the sake of Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu, no matter what, it had been Wei Zhao's own choice! Wei Zhao's going to rescue them had also been Wei Zhao's decision. As Wei Zhao's girlfriend, she should support Wei Zhao unconditionally, not blame Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu.

"Come straight to my house — Villa District A0033," Gu Mengyao said. "The security guards here all know it..."

"Okay..." Tang Yun noted down the house number, hung up the phone, and stumbled out of the classroom, nearly colliding head-on with someone at the entrance. Thanks to her quick reflexes, she managed to stop in time.

"Director Wang..." Tang Yun was startled, never expecting it to be Wang Zhifeng.

"Tang Yun?" Wang Zhifeng had just been about to scold this reckless student, but when he saw it was Tang Yun, he swallowed back his earlier words. Wei Zhao's girlfriend was not someone he could afford to offend! He could only smile and say: "Walk a little slower in the corridor. What if you fell? Be careful!"
