Chapter 179 The Uninvited Guest is Really Noisy
"...You, how could you?!"
The three people standing around, Qingyao, Ziyao, and Lanyao, were looking at the sky, the ground, and the other was playing with his fingers with his head down.
Wu Zhao didn't expect Gu Chen to be becoming more and more direct, saying things outright in front of so many people.
She suddenly felt an itch to hit something, and looking at Gu Chen's exceptionally handsome face, she felt he deserved to be hit.
“I’m afraid if I don’t speak up, you’ll back down again.” Gu Chen’s voice held a hint of amusement as he raised his hand and gently brushed it across Wu Zhao’s cheek.
“Zhaozhao, I can wait... but I won’t allow you to pretend nothing happened.”
His lowered hand slowly traced across Wu Zhao's palm, and then their fingers gradually intertwined.
Feeling the warmth of Gu Chen's palm, Wu Zhao, feeling somewhat uneasy, gently struggled.
"I...I understand," she muttered softly.
He could vaguely see that her earlobes were slightly red, and Gu Chen's eyes deepened.
Hearing light footsteps coming from upstairs, he immediately released Wu Zhao's hand.
"Let Vivi show you around the capital. Just relax today."
Huo Weiwei, who had changed her clothes and ran downstairs, was unaware of the somewhat romantic atmosphere downstairs. She excitedly rushed to Wu Zhao's side and hugged her arm.
"I'm ready, let's go out, Zhaozhao!"
Qingyao opened the door for them and said, "I'll accompany you out, Miss."
The two did not refuse, and then Huo Weiwei winked at Gu Chen: "Then thank you very much, Uncle."
She knew perfectly well that having Qingyao accompany them wasn't just for driving; Qingyao was not only Gu Chen's bodyguard but also his special assistant.
That face is probably recognized by everyone in the capital.
It seems she's afraid of offending her future aunt-in-law, Huo Weiwei chuckled to herself.
Qingyao drove the two to the largest shopping mall in the capital, which happened to be Gu Chen's private property.
The towering shopping mall is surrounded by bustling traffic, making it a very prosperous commercial district.
As soon as he stepped inside, Wu Zhao smelled a strong...smell of money.
Qingyao went to park the car, and Huo Weiwei beside her was very excited.
As soon as we entered the mall, I pulled her quickly into a high-end clothing store.
The salesperson in the store clearly recognized Huo Weiwei and walked over respectfully, saying, "Miss, it's been a long time since you've been here."
"The new clothing for this season has already been delivered to the Huo family. What brings you here today...?"
Huo Weiwei casually glanced at the clothes in the store and waved her hand, saying, "I'm just browsing around with a friend, you don't need to worry about me."
Despite hearing her say that, the sales staff dared not neglect this big spender.
She smiled and took a few steps back without saying anything more. But she seemed ready to come over and help at any moment, showing a keen eye for detail.
Wu Zhao glanced at it casually.
She had no particular interest in clothing and accessories, and her maids used to prepare them for her. Even after being reborn into the modern world, Gu Chen still helped her make the choices.
So for her, what to wear is as long as it's appropriate and comfortable.
So when Huo Weiwei held up various clothes to herself, Wu Zhao cooperated by opening her arms and letting her do as she pleased.
Huo Weiwei gazed at Wu Zhao's exquisite and beautiful face, and her hand holding the clothes trembled slightly.
It felt like dressing up a human doll, which made her extremely excited.
"Hehe, this one looks good too, and this one fits perfectly. Let's buy them all, buy them all!"
Just as Huo Weiwei was admiring Wu Zhao's somewhat helpless yet indulgent expression, she suddenly heard a mocking voice behind her.
"Hey, isn't this Huo Weiwei, the eldest daughter of the Huo family? What, weren't you thrown onto a small island to fend for yourself? You just got back and you're so excited to see all these cheap goods."
"Could it be that the Huo family is going bankrupt?"
Wu Zhao raised an eyebrow.
It seems... there really are some clueless people who are just asking for trouble.
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Huo Weiwei frowned.
She muttered to herself, "What bad luck! I didn't check the almanac before going out today, and this is why I'm so unlucky."
"It's like a turtle chanting scriptures; I won't listen."
Wu Zhao was amused by his rambling.
She looked up and saw someone behind Huo Weiwei, and to her surprise, it was someone she recognized.
Isn't that a member of the Ye family?
Both of them exuded an aura that Wu Zhao found extremely distasteful.
"Huo Weiwei, I'm talking to you, can't you hear me?!"
Huo Weiwei rolled her eyes and whispered to Wu Zhao, "It's the eldest daughter of the Ye family, Ye Mingzhu. Oh, from the branch of the family head. She's Ye Linyan's niece, and she's been spoiled rotten since she was little."
Wu Zhao understood. "Just how many daughters does the Ye family have? They're really prolific..."
"They certainly can have a lot of children, and quite a few illegitimate ones too." Huo Weiwei spoke bluntly about the Ye family's gossip in front of Ye Mingzhu. "Zhaozhao, let me tell you, the Ye family just has illegitimate children in the head of the family alone..."
Ye Mingzhu was furious: "Huo Weiwei, shut up!"
She rushed over and raised her hand as if to strike his wrist, but Wu Zhao grabbed it tightly.
"Where did this lowly commoner come from? You're dead if you dare touch me!" Ye Mingzhu screamed.
The sales staff in the store tried nervously to dissuade them, because these two were people they couldn't afford to offend!
Wu Zhao shook her off and said indifferently, "Speaking is fine, but resorting to violence is the way of the powerful families in the capital? That really opens the eyes of a country bumpkin like me."
Her blunt sarcasm made Ye Mingzhu's face even uglier. The girl behind her couldn't help but step forward and whisper, "Sister, this is the Gu family's shopping mall, let's not—"
A sharp slap interrupted her words. Ye Mingzhu's expression was displeased, her eyes filled with contempt: "What right do you have to call me 'sister'? Ye Li, you're not worthy! Isn't it you, a shameful illegitimate daughter, who made me the target of ridicule? Just like your slutty mother... you eagerly lick the carrot dangling in front of you—"
The girl, whose cheek had instantly swelled up from the slap, covered her face in embarrassment and bit her lip: "Sister... Miss, the head of the family said that this is a critical moment for the Ye family, and we can't act recklessly..."
"Shut up, I'm annoyed just looking at you." Ye Mingzhu sneered, then looked at Huo Weiwei: "Huo Weiwei, don't think that just because the Gu family is around, I won't dare to do anything to you. Your Gu family can only do this for now. Wait until my family—"
"Young Miss!" Ye Li exclaimed, interrupting her again. "Stop talking, Young Miss..."
Her voice already had a sob in it, clearly she had been specifically instructed to keep an eye on Ye Mingzhu and prevent her from saying anything reckless.
Ye Mingzhu scoffed and shook off her hand.
Wu Zhao frowned as he watched Ye Li fall to the ground, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
"You're sick." Huo Weiwei hugged Wu Zhao's arm, taking Ye Mingzhu's words as if she had gone mad.
He patted her on the shoulder and said, "Stay away from her to avoid catching it."
The two's oblivious conversation caused Ye Mingzhu's face to contort, and she gripped her delicate handbag tightly.
Just as she was about to continue speaking, a cold voice interrupted her.
"Shut up."
Interrupted time and again, Ye Mingzhu's spoiled temper flared up.
She angrily threw her handbag heavily to the ground, and the delicate pearls on it scattered and rolled all over the floor.
"You interrupt me every single time. I think you're asking for trouble. Just go die already!"
Ye Mingzhu screamed and turned her head, only to meet a pair of gloomy and cold eyes.
As if her throat had been grabbed, Ye Mingzhu's face turned pale instantly, her eyes wide open.
He lowered his head in fear.
"Uncle... Uncle."
