“In short, I can do what the person you mentioned can do, and I can do it better than him.” Huo Shaoheng couldn’t help caressing her hair as he spoke, and his fingers lingered on her cheeks for a moment.
Gu Nianzhi:”…”
What did he mean by “I can do what the person you mentioned can do?”
So he still refused to admit his true identity?
Gu Nianzhi was deeply disappointed.
However, she did not show it in the slightest. Instead, she smiled brightly and shook her head at Huo Shaoheng. “No, you’ll never be as good as him.”
“Really? How would I know if I don’t try?” Huo Shaoheng raised his eyebrows and instantly reverted to his aloof self.
“Do you want to know who he is? I’ll tell you.” Gu Nianzhi shook her finger at Huo Shaoheng slyly.
Huo Shaoheng leaned forward as if he had been bewitched. He inched closer to Gu Nianzhi and asked in a low voice, “Who is he?”
His heart suddenly beated wildly.
After so many years of experience on the special battlefront, he could already easily treat himself as someone else.
But this time, he almost couldn’t tell who he was…
There was only one person who could give him such a strong shock from the bottom of his heart, and that was the delicate and charming woman in front of him.
But when he came up to Gu Nianzhi, she said softly,”… This person is my father. You know, only my father will protect me at all costs.”
Huo Shaoheng: “…”
When Gu Nianzhi had been shot and seriously injured, he had discovered the truth through the bugs he had secretly placed under Gu Nianzhi’s clothes and pillow.
However, he was quickly discovered by his uncle, Huo Guanyuan, who was also Lu Yuan.
He had made a prompt decision and immediately went to the Lu family to plead and revealed his KGB identity.
It was also at that time that he had heard the heinous crimes Qin Yaoguang had committed against Gu Nianzhi.
Not to mention that Gu Nianzhi wouldn’t let Qin Yaoguang off the hook, Huo Shaoheng would not let her off the hook either.
He would let her taste all the pain Gu Nianzhi had suffered when she was young — no more, no less. He had originally intended to give her a taste of her own medicine.
Gu Nianzhi saw Huo Shaoheng’s rare stunned expression and laughed softly.
She tilted her head at him. “Okay, thank you for your confession. I’m very happy, even though I won’t accept it.”
She waved her hand and boarded He Zhichu’s helicopter without leaving a cloud behind.
He Zhichu saw them talking in front of him and couldn’t help asking through the helicopter’s communication channel, “You seem to be getting closer to Peter.”
Gu Nianzhi sat down with a smile on her face and fastened her seatbelt. “He stood up for me just now. I have to thank him.”
He Zhichu silently piloted the helicopter into the air. After flying for some distance, he said, “Qin Haoshan is too nerdy. You don’t have to take his words to heart.”
“Yeah, I wouldn’t have taken it to heart anyway.” Gu Nianzhi shrugged. “I retorted back then. Why would I take it to heart?”
He Zhichu looked at Gu Nianzhi. “… But you’re not very happy.”
Gu Nianzhi wasn’t unhappy because of Qin Haoshan, but because she was a little dispirited.
There had been so many people gathered at the door watching Qin Haoshan argue with her, but no one had come out to help her.
But she also knew that this was the difference between men and women.
If Ma Qiqi had been there, she would have stood up immediately and dissed Qin Haoshan severely.
He Zhichu only stood up to ask Qin Haoshan to apologize after she had scolded him away.
Huo Shaoheng had only hit Qin Haoshan after He Zhichu had spoken.
Gu Nianzhi had a grudge against the way the two men had acted.
But she did not say anything, nor did she say anything what Xie Qingying had said to her.
If she said she wouldn’t meddle in the relationship between Xie Qingying and He Zhichu, so she wouldn’t say anything between them.
Even if Xie Qingying made her unhappy, she wouldn’t say anything.
She thought for a moment, then tilted her head and leaned against the window. She said weakly, “It’s just a little disappointing. It’s almost the new year, yet I’m being scolded by this kind of person. Then when I think about how I’m even related to him, that makes me even more miserable.”
She even yawned after she finished speaking.
He Zhichu saw this and pursed his lips into a smile. He said gently, “Is it still because of Qin Haoshan? I’ve already said that I’ll take revenge for you.”
Gu Nianzhi chuckled and said, “Young Master He, please take revenge for me on the spot in the future. It won’t be of much use to take revenge after I’m overwhelmed with anger, but thank you.”
“Do we even need to say the word ‘thank you’ between us?” He Zhichu keenly realized what Gu Nianzhi was ticked off about and thought about it carefully, then said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Nianzhi. I didn’t react too quickly at the time. I should have had someone block his mouth and drag him out for a beating.”
Gu Nianzhi was amused by him. “Young Master He, you’re exaggerating. Just block his mouth. There’s no need to drag him out for a beating.”
He Zhichu apologized, then Gu Nianzhi said, “Then I’m sorry too. Young Master He, I’ve embarrassed you in front of your friends.”
He Zhichu stopped smiling and said seriously, “Nianzhi, you never have to say sorry to me. No matter what you do, I won’t be angry with you.”
He Zhichu was just a little embarrassed. He wasn’t resentful in the slightest.
Gu Nianzhi laughed again and said, “Young Master He, I really want to record this video in front of you on my phone. If you ever get angry at me again, I’ll show it to you. This is something I’ll hold on to for my whole life, and I won’t let it go.”
He Zhichu nodded with a smile. “I can’t do it today. When I get back, I’ll wash up properly, change my clothes, and then I’ll take a video for you. My image will be ruined if I film a video looking like this.”
“Okay then, I’ll wait and see. “Gu Nianzhi joked with a smile as she sent a message to Lu Jin on her phone, saying that she would be back soon.
The two of them chatted and laughed, much more harmoniously than when they had arrived.
The helicopter quickly brought Gu Nianzhi to the roof of the apartment building where she lived.
Lu Jin stood at the bend in the corridor, waiting for them.
He Zhichu wanted to get off the plane to send Gu Nianzhi in, but Gu Nianzhi quickly stopped him.
“Young Master He, no need. You can go. I’m going home now. What are you worried about?” Gu Nianzhi winked at him. “Okay, I’m tired. I don’t have the energy to entertain you.”
“Okay.” He Zhichu lowered his eyes and didn’t insist. “Then I’m going back. Send me a message when you get back to your room.”
Gu Nianzhi turned around and made an okay sign. “Okay, no problem!”
He Zhichu flew the helicopter away after seeing Gu Nianzhi run into the dark corridor from the helipad on the roof of the building.
Gu Nianzhi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the helicopter take off.
Lu Jin came out and held her hand as he looked her up and down. He asked with a smile, “Why are you back so soon? Did you have fun?”
Gu Nianzhi didn’t hide her emotions in front of Lu Jin.
She immediately pulled a long face and said, “No, not at all.”
“Huh? What happened?” Lu Jin was very nervous. He quickly pulled her back to their floor and went back to Gu Nianzhi’s apartment together.
“Tell me, what happened?” Lu Jin couldn’t wait to ask again as he sat on the sofa in Gu Nianzhi’s living room.
Gu Nianzhi’s eyes instantly reddened, and she felt even more wronged.
Who wouldn’t want to be cherished and pampered by others?
Gu Nianzhi held Lu Jin’s hand and spoke about what had happened to her at Xiangxuehai.
“… Dad, don’t you think this Qin Haoshan is a weirdo?! Even Luo Yaozu didn’t blame me, so who does he think he is? And he even speaked up for Qin Yaoguang!” Gu Nianzhi spoke more and more brazenly in front of Lu Jin, “And he says there are no parents who aren’t good! But after what Qin Yaoguang did to me, why should I let her go?!”
Lu Jin gritted his teeth and punched the coffee table in front of him. He said angrily, “This Qin Haoshan’s brain is like granite! Back then, he spent a lot of effort in school to get good grades! What right does he have to talk about my daughter? ! What does he have to do with you? ! He’s a scumbag!”
“Well said!” Gu Nianzhi clapped loudly for Lu Jin. She was extremely happy.
This was the kind of support she needed!
It was completely in line with her intentions. She was so happy that she almost didn’t discern the strangeness in Lu Jin’s words.
All she could think about was that it would be best if he had dissed Qin Haoshan with her back then, so that he would be so ashamed that he would never dare to come out again.
“And your good niece, Xie Qingying…” Gu Nianzhi wouldn’t tell He Zhichu about Xie Qingying, but she didn’t have such concerns when it came to Lu Jin.
Besides, Lu Jin couldn’t possibly confront He Zhichu, so Gu Nianzhi told him everything.
She continued angrily, “… She actually asked me to apologize to He Zhichu. She said I shouldn’t have said that I called off the engagement because I didn’t want to marry him and make him lose face in front of so many people!”
