Chapter 592 — Who Is the Bolder One
"Hmph!" Tang Yun snorted and glared fiercely at Shen Yushu. In truth, Tang Yun's heart was in utter turmoil; she no longer knew whether she should believe Shen Yushu's words, though her instincts told her not to put much stock in them.
If Wei Zhao truly had something going on with them, Tang Yun did not believe he would keep it from her! What would be the point of hiding it? So what if he had a fiancée — all he had to do was tell her, and she would quietly step aside. There was no need for her to hear it from someone else's mouth.
And yet, the photos on Shen Yushu's phone did show Wei Zhao's car, and that yellow Beetle — Tang Yun had seen Wei Zhao driving it too! The first time Wei Zhao came to her home, he had been driving that very Beetle. How could Wei Zhao not know about it?
As for that Audi 5, Tang Yun had seen it as well — right on the night market street, where Wei Zhao had once stood beside the car.
Actually, Shen Yushu herself had no idea what else lovers could possibly do after sleeping together. She could hardly claim they already had a child — that would be far too absurd. If Tang Yun asked where the child was, what would she say?
So Tang Yun said nothing, just stood there glaring, and Shen Yushu said nothing either, just stood there glaring back.
The several of them eyed one another like tigers watching their prey, yet no one said another word. For a moment, it was impossible to tell who had the upper hand. Though Shen Yushu and Gu Mengyao seemed to have the advantage, in truth they were deeply uneasy — after all, everything Shen Yushu had just said was pure fabrication, pulled out of thin air.
Fatso Lai had long since scurried off to a far corner the moment the three women started fighting. He had no desire to be dragged in as cannon fodder — neither side was someone to be trifled with! Tang Yun was the senior wife; that much Fatso Lai knew. But Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu had spoken with such sworn conviction, and Shen Yushu had produced so much evidence, that Fatso Lai knew Wei Zhao must surely have some kind of relationship with them.
So the best course of action was to hide and take neither side — that was the wisest choice. Only when he saw they had stopped arguing, that a truce had been called, did Fatso Lai walk over and say, "All right, no matter which of you is Wei Zhao's first wife, you're all leading women, so you're all senior wives!"
Gu Mengyao nearly blurted out on reflex, Who's a senior wife? But she immediately remembered she was still at war with Tang Yun, so she accepted the title of senior wife with perfect composure, betraying nothing.
Seeing that Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu said nothing, Tang Yun likewise lifted her chin and held her tongue.
"Ladies, senior wives, could you perhaps calm your anger first? The chief is in there healing and needs quiet. If you keep arguing like this, what if the chief suffers a deviation in his cultivation?" Fatso Lai said cautiously.
"Ah!" Tang Yun was startled, and so were Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu! Their heads had been so heated earlier that they had not thought that far. Only now, with Fatso Lai's reminder, did they come to their senses — Wei Zhao was still lying in there. What was the point of fighting over such meaningless things at a time like this?
Whether it was Fatso Lai's words that had their effect, or simply that none of them knew what else to say, the living room fell quiet for the time being.
The living room was divided into two camps. One was Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu, who had by now slipped off to one side and were whispering together about something.
"Xiaoshu, how could you say something so filthy just now? A threesome? Have you been reading too many dirty books?" Gu Mengyao scolded in a low voice.
"Oh, Sister Yao-yao, you know what a threesome means too? Then you've been reading dirty books as well!" Shen Yushu said, utterly unbothered.
"Don't change the subject!" Gu Mengyao shot her a glare. "What we did just now — was that really all right?"
"What's wrong with it? Brother Arrow belongs to Sister Yao-yao in the first place. Who told him to go around philandering?" Shen Yushu saw nothing improper in what she had done.
"Hai!" Gu Mengyao sighed softly. In truth, she did not know whether what they had just done was right or wrong. It had seemed to come from instinct, and yet it had also seemed provoked into being.
Over on the other side, Tang Yun had been pulled aside by Liu Xinwen. Liu Xinwen tried several times to speak, yet each time the words caught in her throat. After all, this was hardly the moment to ask Tang Yun about her relationship with Wei Zhao — Wei Zhao's condition was still unknown, and Tang Yun was worried sick. How could she have the heart to discuss such things?
The earlier battle with Shen Yushu had been nothing more than a defense of her dignity. And now, Tang Yun clearly had no mind for anything else.
Seeing everyone standing at the door of Wei Zhao's room, Fatso Lai realized this would not do, so he and his wife brought over four sofas and had them sit down.
Time ticked by, second by second, and there was not a sound from the room where Wei Zhao lay. Tang Yun wanted to go in and check on him, yet feared disturbing him — and Gu Mengyao felt exactly the same.
"Sister Yao-yao, I'm hungry." Shen Yushu heard her stomach growling and wanted something to eat.
"Bear with it. When Wei Zhao wakes up, the three of us will go home and eat together!" When she said this, Gu Mengyao did not know what possessed her, but she deliberately raised her voice so that Tang Yun could hear.
"All right, but I want Brother Arrow's cooking. His food is so good!" Shen Yushu played along with Gu Mengyao.
"Doesn't he make us breakfast every day? He's injured today, so he doesn't need to." Gu Mengyao said it with a show of pride. She realized — when had she become so vain? She had never been one for showing off before, had she?
Hearing the two of them, Tang Yun felt a surge of indignation. What right did they have to have him cook for them? She could not help but say, "Liu Xinwen, you've never had the roast chicken wings Wei Zhao makes, have you? They're delicious — he even gave me the recipe! The barbecue at my house now uses Wei Zhao's recipe! Oh, and he made shark meat for me once. You've had it too, haven't you?"
Liu Xinwen sighed. Yun-yun, ah, when did you start fighting over a man too? You're a daughter of heaven, the most beautiful of the three of us... But then, looking at Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu — which of them was not beautiful?
"Shark meat? We've had it too. In fact, Brother Arrow and I caught that shark together!" Shen Yushu chimed in.
"Hmph!" Tang Yun did not quite believe it and gave another snort.
Still, now that the topic had turned to food, Tang Yun found herself rather hungry too, and so was Liu Xinwen. Fatso Lai, quick-witted as ever, walked over and said, "Ladies, you're all hungry, I expect? I'll have my wife fix something to eat. You're worried about the chief, but you can't let yourselves starve — otherwise the chief will be heartbroken."
