Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

Chapter 262 Even a shopping trip can lead to trouble

Just sorting out Huo Weiwei's gifts kept Qingyao and the others busy all morning.

After finishing breakfast, Wu Zhao sat in the living room watching them busy themselves. Occasionally, he could hear Wu Xingyun and Xiao Xuan trimming the flowers and plants in the garden.

The villa suddenly became lively.

"Miss, are you bored?"

After counting some of the gifts, Lan Yao handed Wu Zhao a freshly squeezed juice.

Wu Zhao was looking at the gossip on his phone when he took the juice from her and took a sip.

The sweet and sour taste filled her taste buds, making her squint her eyes.

"They're alright, these girls are quite interesting."

She looked at the pictures that kept refreshing on Xingbo, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

Lan Yao leaned over and took a look.

"It's a program that Miss participated in with the head of the family before."

It feels like it's been a while since I participated in the show with Gu Chen.

I never expected to see it on Xingbo, where those young girls seem to be analyzing it frame by frame.

Wu Zhao was almost in awe.

"Miss probably doesn't know that these young girls are as sharp as microscopes when it comes to getting candy."

Seeing the surprise on her face, Lan Yao smiled and explained.

"They are quite cute."

Wu Zhao could sense that these people didn't have any ill intentions towards her and Gu Chen; on the contrary, they hoped that the two of them could interact more.

"I didn't even realize it until they pointed it out. I've actually watched Gu Chen on the show so many times!"

"Huh, I ran into Gu Chen here?"

Gu Chen, who had just come out of the study, paused in his tracks when he heard Wu Zhao's voice downstairs.

He then silently took two steps back and returned to his study.

Wu Zhao was watching the videos specially edited by fans with great interest, and the more he watched, the more strange his expression became.

The initially curious gazes suddenly turned somewhat awkward.

Is Gu Chen really paying so much attention to her on the show?

"Zhaozhao! Do you have time this afternoon? Your teacher has been discharged from the hospital and would like to invite you to lunch!"

"However, the teachers were considerate of your desire to avoid being too conspicuous, so we ate at their house, where there were no outsiders."

Huo Weiwei rushed in, and Wu Zhao, snapping out of his daze, subconsciously turned off his phone.

She coughed twice.

"Sure, have your teacher and his wife recovered so quickly after being discharged from the hospital?"

"Wu Xingzhou hasn't woken up yet, so it's really not appropriate to make a big fuss about it."

Huo Weiwei sat down next to her, hugged her arm, and shook it.

"So you agreed."

Wu Zhao nodded and put his phone back in his pocket.

When Qingyao, who had brought in another stack of boxes, saw Huo Weiwei arrive, he quickly put the things he was carrying on the coffee table.

"Young Miss, some of this year's gifts have arrived. Would you like to choose some?"

"Should the rest be sent out the same way as before?"

Huo Weiwei glanced at the gift box on the coffee table and thought for a moment.

"Um, is my second brother's wife about to give birth? Maybe we can let his wife see if there are any boys she likes."

The business partners who sent the gifts all knew Huo Weiwei to some extent. The gifts they gave were nothing more than custom-made jewelry, bags, shoes, clothes, and perfumes.

Ye Linlang has always been in the entertainment industry, so it's essential for her to have more fashionable items and haute couture pieces.

"Then I'll contact the second young master and see when they'll be back."

Huo Weiwei didn't care much about this; she didn't hold a banquet every year for her birthday.

Everything at home depends on her mood.

This year, she was first amazed by Wu Zhao, and then she was trapped in that strange village for several days because of her teacher's situation.

Exhausted both physically and mentally, she went home and told her family that she wouldn't be having a birthday party this year.

Huo Tingchen naturally felt sorry for his only younger sister and nodded in agreement.

This is also why there are more gifts than in previous years.

"They probably won't be back until the end of the year, after his wife gives birth."

what?

Huo Weiwei stared wide-eyed.

"Then I won't be able to see my little niece right away?"

She pouted with a hint of regret.

"How could that be? If you want to see it, why don't you just have Gu Chen arrange a plane for you to go there?"

Wu Zhao tapped her forehead.

"But final exams are at the end of the year..."

The thought of the final exams made Huo Weiwei feel dejected.

Uh... Wu Zhao seems to have forgotten that students in the modern world have to take exams.

So all I could do was pat her on the shoulder to comfort her.

"There's nothing you can do then, you can only wait for them to come back. But it won't make a difference if it's just a month or two, it'll be over in the blink of an eye."

With no other choice, Huo Weiwei could only nod and agree.

Seeing this, Qingyao smiled and then continued to move the gifts into the special room.

Huo Weiwei leaned on Wu Zhao's shoulder, looked at Qing Yao and the others, and yawned.

"Zhaozhao, if you're free, would you come with me to pick out a gift for the teacher?"

Wu Zhao thought for a moment and then took out a piece of jade from his ring.

This was just a little bit of leftover material from when she carved the "Nothing Happens" plaque for Gu Chen.

"Shouldn't carving a safety amulet be enough...?"

She examined the jade stone for a moment to confirm its size.

"Okay, then I'll go out with you to buy some things."

I'll also buy two strings for stringing safety buckles.

Wu Zhao thought for a moment, then stood up and prepared to go out.

"Miss, are you going out? Take me with you, I want to go too!"

Ziyao shoved everything in her hands into Qingyao's hands, then ran over excitedly.

Qingyao was hit squarely and almost fell over.

"You bastard, Ziyao—"

Wu Zhao and Huo Weiwei laughed as they watched Zi Yao dart away like a slippery eel.

……

Knowing that Huo Weiwei wanted to buy a gift for her teacher, Zi Yao drove them to the antique street.

"If I buy something here as a gift for my teacher, I'm afraid I'll get reported..."

Huo Weiwei looked at the bustling street and couldn't help but gasp.

"Um... how about we go somewhere else?"

Zi Yao touched his nose and asked somewhat awkwardly.

"No need, I'll just wander around."

Wu Zhao's gaze swept across the air, and a faint purple light flashed by.

It's about luck.

She held Huo Weiwei's hand, with Zi Yao following behind.

The three of them strolled casually along the antique street.

Some sharp-eyed sellers naturally noticed that the three were dressed in extraordinary clothes and couldn't help but take a closer look at them.

"If you're interested, you can take a look. I have lots of good stuff here!"

"Customer, customer, would you like to take a look at my stall?"

To everyone's surprise, Wu Zhao glanced at their stall casually and then walked away without showing any interest.

"cut……"

Wu Zhao stopped when he reached a stall.

She pointed to a rock covered in mud.

"How much is this?"

The stall owner was an elderly man who looked unusually thin.

"Things dug up from our own land are very hard."

"If the boss doesn't believe me, he can try cutting it open himself. There's definitely something good inside!"

"If you like it, you can take it for 50,000 yuan!"

The old man smiled as he picked up the stone and held it in his hands.

Wu Zhao's lips twitched.

If you can cut this thing open, you probably have Pangu's Axe in your hand, right?

Although only part of the mud had been washed away, Wu Zhao could still recognize the origin of the stone at a glance.

After all, she knew exactly what the stone originally looked like.

These mud and stones, faintly emitting purple and golden light, are clearly...
