Gu Nianzhi looked at He Zhichu carefully and saw that he was smiling lazily. His handsome features had a touch of vicissitudes, and his eyes were deep. A deep sense of masculinity washed over her.
Such Professor He was really charming…
Gu Nianzhi sighed and smiled. “Young Master He, you’re actually the most charming professor in our school. Do you know how many girls you have charmed in school?”
He Zhichu continued to smile. He almost blurted out a joke, but he held it in. The tip of his tongue pushed against his teeth, and his ending was a little unclear, “Then I can consider continuing to be a professor. Maybe I’ll be able to find a suitable person to marry soon.”
Gu Nianzhi gave him a “good luck” sign. “Professor He, you can do it!”
Ever since Christmas eve, Gu Nianzhi and He Zhichu had got along much better.
She sincerely treated him as her older brother. Even though they weren’t related by blood, she still loved him dearly.
He Zhichu helped her pack a few large suitcases and put them in the trunk of the car. He said, “These are the things you use frequently. If you don’t use them often, I’ll leave them in your room. We’ll stay together during the holidays, okay?”
Gu Nianzhi nodded heavily. “I’ll come back and have dinner with you during the holidays.”
Staying back and having dinner were two different concepts.
He Zhichu hugged her silently. “Let’s go. I’ll warm your room for you in a few days.”
Gu Nianzhi smiled and waved goodbye to him. She drove towards the apartment Lu Jin had found for her.
This building was mainly a hotel-style furnished apartment that could be checked in with a bag.
Gu Nianzhi didn’t know how many properties Lu Jin owned, but he was a major shareholder and had money.
It shouldn’t be difficult to find a random apartment to rent to her.
Moreover, she was paying rent.
After registering at the entrance of the residential area, Gu Nianzhi took the key from the security guard and drove to the parking lot below the apartment building.
There was actually an above-ground parking space in this apartment, so there was no need to drive to the underground parking lot.
Gu Nianzhi swiped the elevator floor with her key card and went straight up.
She stood in front of the door with two pieces of luggage in tow. Gu Nianzhi was about to use the key card to open the door when the door to the opposite room suddenly opened. Lu Jin poked his head out and smiled. “Young lady, are you new here? We’re neighbors now.”
Gu Nianzhi was both surprised and delighted. “The house across the street is yours, too?!”
“Yes, there are three houses on this floor, two big and one small. I bought two big ones, both with three bedrooms, two living rooms, and two bathrooms. The smaller one has only two bedrooms and one living room, and was bought by Boss Lu.”
This meant that this floor belonged to them.
The elevator was controlled by a key card, so no one else could even get to their floor.
This really protected the residents’ privacy.
Gu Nianzhi was overjoyed. She opened her arms and gave Lu Jin a big hug. “Hello, Neighbor!”
Lu Jin smiled and patted her on the back. He helped her carry her luggage into her room.
The room was well-decorated. It was indeed the kind of room where people carried their bags to check in. The household appliances were all equipped with branded appliances.
Unfortunately, neither of them knew how to cook, so they ordered takeout. Lu Jin went downstairs to get it.
“Alright, you can stay here. I’ve installed an intelligent security system in your room. Don’t worry, no one will suddenly barge in and take you away in the future.” Lu Jin stretched out his arms and walked around Gu Nianzhi’s living room.
Gu Nianzhi immediately thought of how she had been broken into in the other world, and Xiao Ye, who had been hit by ten bullets and was lying in a pool of blood.
Her mood darkened. She sat on the sofa and looked at Lu Jin. “Dad, I haven’t asked you yet. How much do you know about my time in the other world?”
Lu Jin carefully sat next to her and said, “Not much, because we need energy to communicate with the other world, we don’t have much energy. We originally planned to… store some energy for a few years and then go there to see you…”
“In the end, He Chengjian sent someone to bring you back from that world. I didn’t want you to fall into He Chengjian’s hands because at that time, Qin Yaoguang was still his wife. I was worried that… Qin Yaoguang would continue to harm you. So I fought an energy war with him and wanted to transfer you to my side. In the end… both sides were injured.”
Lu Jin shook his head with a bitter smile and patted Gu Nianzhi’s head. “Fortunately, you’re okay. Otherwise, I would have to die to apologize.”
Gu Nianzhi looked at him thoughtfully and said, “Then how did you know that He Chengjian brought me back? Were you spying on him?”
“How would I dare spy on him?” Lu Jin whimpered, not in a good mood, “I was spying on Qin Yaoguang and found out that she showed He Chengjian the video of you getting engaged in the other world. He Chengjian finally found out that you dumped his son, so he went crazy and violently kidnapped you.”
Gu Nianzhi punched the sofa and said angrily, “It’s Qin Yaoguang again, that b*tch!”
“It’s all her fault.” Lu Jin and Gu Nianzhi scolded Qin Yaoguang together. However, Lu Jin tried to persuade Gu Nianzhi, “But she’s still your mother, and she knows too much about you. It’s best not to involve her in this so as not to cause any trouble and draw attention to your constitution.”
“The trump card in Qin Yaoguang’s hands is your special genes and constitution.”
“Even though I destroyed all of Qin Yaoguang’s experimental data and erased all of your information, it’s still very easy to copy your genetic data.”
“Just one strand of your hair will do.”
“Once your perfect human genes and special constitution are made public, it’ll definitely be a disaster for you, not a blessing.”
Gu Nianzhi interrupted him and said lightly, “So you’d rather create the illusion of ‘suicide’ and conceal your identity than expose what Qin Yaoguang did to me.”
Lu Jin knew that Gu Nianzhi was unhappy, but he still nodded honestly. He said, “In my opinion, the damage has already happened. There’s no point in exposing the past. One should look forward and live a better life in the future. It’s the best way to return the favor to those dark days.”
But Gu Nianzhi was different.
She rejected this cynical evasive attitude.
“No, we should move on, but this can’t be an excuse to give up on pursuing responsibility.” Gu Nianzhi was very determined. “They can do biological experiments on a two-year-old child. Don’t you think this crime is outrageous?”
Lu Jin lowered his head and struggled in his heart. He said, “You’re mainly suing the kidnapping case from eight years ago now. Don’t distract yourself.”
Indeed, the time between two and six years old was a different case.
“I will.” Gu Nianzhi nodded. “I have to go to court tomorrow. I’ll make it quick and settle the gardener couple.”
