Chapter 241 She also has someone she cares about.
The rain fell on and off all night, only gradually stopping as dawn broke.
Huo Weiwei was awakened by a burst of crying.
She slept so soundly that night that she had no dreams.
If I get woken up, I even feel like I could fall back asleep.
"Hmm... what's wrong?"
Rubbing her eyes, Huo Weiwei sat up and muttered something.
Looking up, I saw He Wen and Yu Ying hugging each other and crying uncontrollably.
Ah, Aunt Yu has woken up!
Huo Weiwei quickly got up from the mattress.
He Wen was very excited to fall asleep in her mother's arms for the first time; she thought she wouldn't be able to sleep.
But her mother's warm embrace made her fall asleep quickly, and in the morning she felt someone gently touching her face.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Yu Ying looking at her silently with teary eyes.
The two stared at each other for a long time before Wu Zhao coughed twice, startling them.
"Now that you've finally managed to meet, you two should have a good chat."
At that moment, Zhao Lan also got up and sighed when she saw the two of them looking awkward and uncomfortable.
Not long after the two went outside, Yu Ying and He Wen hugged each other and started crying.
This also happened to wake Huo Weiwei up.
Wu Xingyun stretched in the courtyard, and when he saw Wu Zhao come out, he jogged over.
"Ancestor, can we go back today?"
"Brother Cheng just confirmed that the two injured people are recovering very well."
Wu Zhao went to check, and it was indeed just as Wu Xingyun had said.
Although he is still in a coma, his condition is much better than when he first came back.
Hu Datian said with relief, "Both of them made noises in the middle of the night, vaguely crying out in pain."
"I gave them some water, and I also asked the bodyguard to help me hold them down so they wouldn't move around."
Hu Datian took very good care of her, and Wu Zhao nodded in approval.
"It rained all night, and I don't know if the roads are easy to travel on."
Wu Zhao stepped out of the tent, lost in thought.
Soon, a noisy commotion came from inside the room.
"I'm so hungry, Teacher Tao, I want to eat."
"I want to eat too, Teacher Tao!"
The children's innocent voices rose and fell, sounding very naive and innocent.
Perhaps it's because children are forgetful, Wu Zhao thought uncertainly.
Tao Yueran and another teacher, Li Yan, quickly came out, followed by two rows of obedient little kids.
The boy named Xiao Xuan, whom Wu Zhao was most concerned about, walked at the very back, his eyes glancing warily at Wu Zhao and the others from time to time.
"They're quite wary..." Wu Zhao curled the corners of his lips.
A flapping sound of wings approached from afar, and Phoenix's dazzling red figure came into view.
Wu Zhao stood up and went outside.
The red bird quickly landed on her shoulder.
"Master, I'm coming."
Phoenix affectionately rubbed against Wu Zhao's fingertips.
Wu Zhao touched the feathers on his body.
"how?"
Phoenix shook its wings and recalled something.
"Well... that gentleman didn't give a direct answer whether he agreed or disagreed. He just said that we could discuss it in detail when you get back."
Hmm, it seems that Zian needs to see that child first.
Wu Zhao turned the ring on his hand and pondered.
"Alright, then let's... go back."
Phoenix bounced on her shoulder, then tilted her head and said, "But Master, we can't leave now."
"The rain was so heavy last night that the road down the mountain collapsed. It might be impossible to get back in the short term."
A landslide?!
Wu Zhao frowned; this rain was too heavy.
"How many days at the earliest?"
Phoenix grunted, uncertainly: "It's hard to say, but when I flew back just now, I did see humans frantically repairing it."
"It should be soon, right?"
He said uncertainly.
soon?
Wu Zhao was somewhat skeptical of what he was saying.
If we can't leave now, we'll have to wait several more days.
The parents of those children must be very worried now.
Wu Zhao took out his phone, and sure enough, there was no signal at all.
"Tsk."
Bringing so many people is that much trouble.
As if sensing her struggle, Phoenix touched Wu Zhao's cheek.
“Master, Master, when I came back, that gentleman said he would come to help you.”
“But I didn’t tell him about your situation here, yet he seemed to know everything.”
Phoenix said with some confusion, wondering where Gu Chen had found out.
Oh?
Wu Zhao's eyes darkened slightly.
Could Gu Chen possibly be some kind of fortune teller who knows what difficulties she's currently facing?
"Even if he could help me after the landslide, we still can't leave now, right?"
Or did this guy directly find someone to help the landslide area?
"Uh, I don't know about that..."
Phoenix didn't dare stay at the Gu family's house for too long, so he didn't know Gu Chen's plans for the future.
"Never mind, I'll find out when he gets here. But it's strange, he promised he'd wait for me at home..."
"Could it be because I've been away for too long? But it's only been a few days, right?"
Wu Zhao stroked his chin, thinking with some uncertainty.
……
The capital city. The Gu family's villa.
A convoy is preparing to leave.
Gu Chen's tall figure stood next to a car.
Qingyao followed behind him.
"Master, are you going to pick up Miss Wu in person?"
Gu Chen glanced indifferently at the somewhat gloomy sky.
"Well, I happen to be free."
He got into the car and slowly closed his eyes as if to rest.
Qingyao and Lanyao looked at each other in bewilderment.
Why does it feel like the head of the family is acting strangely?
Is it...
"Master, are you worried about the child Miss Wu mentioned wanting to adopt?"
When Phoenix arrived, Lan Yao opened the window and naturally heard what Wu Zhao had told Gu Chen.
She asked cautiously from the passenger seat.
Gu Chen's temples bulged with veins, and his tone betrayed a complex mix of emotions.
"It's nothing, just a little... never mind. Let's hurry over there, don't be late to pick her up."
Lan Yao shut up.
Qingyao also withdrew his gaze, and for a moment the car was quiet except for the sound of steady breathing.
After a while, Lan Yao put down his phone.
"Master, the weather report just came out... the weather seems to be bad where Miss Wu is. They said there's been a road collapse."
"My subordinates have just contacted our own people, and they will be there to help soon."
Gu Chen nodded.
His hands, which were placed at his sides, tightened slightly, and a hint of unfamiliar coldness appeared in Gu Chen's lowered eyes.
"Zhao Zhao..."
He sighed silently.
The show has already begun, so... have you noticed?
Or were their eyes covered, so they didn't notice?
He glanced out the window.
Lightning flashed within the faintly rolling clouds.
In the reflection of the car window, a golden luster gradually filled those deep eyes.
"It's almost time..."
"Zhaozhao, wait for me."
