Huo Shaoheng stopped in his tracks, but quickly snapped out of his thoughts and helped Lu Yuan return to his suite.
Gu Nianzhi whispered to Lu Jin, “Dad, CEO Lu’s personal problems are his privacy. Please stop saying anything…”
She spoke carefully, in fear of hurting Lu Jin’s self-esteem. She was also worried that she would hurt Lu Jin’s face, that was why she waited for Huo Shaoheng and Lu Yuan to leave her suite before saying anything.
Surprisingly, Lu Jin wasn’t angry at all. Instead, he nodded happily. “Okay, okay, I’ll listen to my girl!”
He then continued to praise Gu Nianzhi happily. “I know you’re concerned of me, my daughter. I know you’re afraid that I would say something to offend Boss Lu, so you tried to remind me. Nianzhi, do you know how touched I am?”
Lu Jin even proceeded to wipe the corners of his eyes pretentiously and made a crying face.
Gu Nianzhi:”…”
His acting skill really needs a lot of work.
Gu Nianzhi said to herself, but her mood was relaxed and happy. She no longer felt stressed.
That was because she realized that no matter what she said to Lu Jin, it didn’t matter. Lu Jin would automatically think that Nianzhi’s words were for his own good.
She had never felt this way before. Not even with Huo Shaoheng.
Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help but ask Lu Jin after some time, “Dad, how did you know that Boss Lu would have a second chance at love?”
Lu Jin glanced at the sketches that Gu Nianzhi had collected from Lu Yuan. He then said, squinting his lips, “Just take a look at his drawings. Even a fool can tell how much he likes her…”
Gu Nianzhi lifted an eyebrow and smiled. “I didn’t know you knew art, Dad?”
“I don’t, I just read a few art books.”Lu Jin laughed heartily, his mood soaring.
Gu Nianzhi smiled and looked at the painting in her hand. She asked tentatively, “Then do you know the woman in the painting? She’s so pretty.”
Lu Jin answered without hesitation, “No, I don’t.She’s not bad, but she’s not as pretty as my girl.”
Gu Nianzhi almost laughed out loud with her hands covering her face, but she quickly composed herself and smiled. “Dad, you can’t say that because I’m your daughter. Cut it out. You’re a scientist, aren’t you? I thought scientists seek truth from facts?”
Lu Jin chuckled and said seriously, “I am telling the truth. In fact, there is no objective standard for how beautiful or ugly a person is. According to psychology, if a person thinks another person is beautiful, it is either because that other person similar features or temperament with him or her, or because the other person looks like a relative he or she is familiar with, or because they have complementary features. Which means, that they like the features that they don’t have.”
“And you’re my daughter. You have features and temperament similar to mine, so I think you’re the most beautiful. What’s wrong with that?”
Lu Jin looked at Gu Nianzhi, indicating that he was very objective in this matter of beauty and ugliness.
Gu Nianzhi didn’t know what to say.
She admitted that she had similar features with Lu Jin’s. Although she had never seen what Lu Jin looked like before he was disfigured and had plastic surgery, she had seen what Gu Xiangwen looked like in the other world.
They must look exactly the same if they were counterparts.
Gu Xiangwen in the other world was very handsome facial features, especially his straight and beautiful nose, which was exactly the same as Gu Nianzhi’s.
Lu Jin must have had a nose like that before he was disfigured, right?
But did they have the same temperament?
She was very moved. (very moved but rejected)
Gu Nianzhi stole a quick glance at Lu Jin’s face, lowered her eyes, and smiled. “Dad, I love it when you use scientific theories to state nonsense strongly and confidently.”
Lu Jin snorted and laughed. “Oh my, you’ve exposed me. Can we even chat pleasantly in the future? !”
The father and daughter duo chatted and laughed as they tidied up the table for the New Year’s Eve dinner.
Lu Jin put all the dishes into the dishwasher, poured in the dishwasher-specific detergent, and washed the dishes with the dishwasher.
Gu Nianzhi waited for him for a while before the two of them left the kitchen and went to the living room to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
By then, the Spring Festival Gala had already been going on for two hours.
The joyous singing and dancing had already passed, and it was now time for the overseas tourists to pay their new year’s greetings to the people of their motherland.
Gu Nianzhi yawned out of boredom and sat cross-legged on the sofa. She hugged the panda-shaped pillow out of habit and rested her chin on her hands as she stared at the 100-inch television on the wall. She said, “I like to watch skits, especially those about the military.”
Lu Jin watched the television in excitement and said, “There are very few skits like this. I haven’t seen one in the past few years.”
He didn’t really like surfing the Internet, as it made himto do something dirty, so he would watch television whenever he had the time.
This was the main way he interacted with people.
As they were talking, Huo Shaoheng walked in.
Lu Jin heard someone and turned to look. He said in surprise, “Why are you here? You left boss Lu Alone?”
Huo Shaoheng smiled. “President Lu is already asleep. He’s fine now. I’m here to see Uncle Lu. Are You Alright? You drank quite a lot tonight.”
Lu Jin laughed and said proudly, “I’m not afraid of getting drunk. My liver is naturally endowed with more alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase than normal people.”
“So after drinking, it breaks down the alcohol very quickly. I Won’t get drunk.”
Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi looked at each other, but both wisely kept their mouths shut and didn’t pursue the matter further.
Huo Shaoheng took the opportunity to sit on the sofa on the other side of Gu Nianzhi.
As soon as he sat down, Gu Nianzhi suddenly threw the panda pillow away uncomfortably.
Huo Shaoheng pursed his lips when he saw it and silently looked away to the television screen in front of him.
Lu Jin was also sitting next to Gu Nianzhi. When he saw the panda throw pillow on the coffee table, he quickly asked, “What’s wrong? Don’t You Like It?”
Gu Nianzhi tried her best to control her face so that it didn’t turn red.
She hadn’t thought of a reason to speak yet, huo shaoheng suddenly said, “Miss gu likes these furry toys? Then do you like dolls? We have a famous doll set in the Soviet Union. If you like it, I’ll get my colleagues to send you a set as a new year’s gift.”
Gu Nianzhi’s heart skipped a beat. What did Huo Shaoheng mean by that?
Lu Jin did not respond, as if he did not know what Huo Shaoheng meant by that.
However, he did quiet down.
He leaned back on the sofa and stared at the television screen, lost in thought.
He did not know if he was really watching television or thinking about something.
Gu nianzhi could only say, “I like them too. I’ll have to trouble Mr. Peter.”
Lu Jin glanced at Gu Nianzhi, but did not say anything.
The three of them watched television for a while, and the time for overseas visitors to pay their new year’s greetings was over.
He Chengjian’s calm and determined face appeared on the television.
He was sitting in his own small meeting room and giving a new year’s speech. It was obviously a recorded video.
“Friends in front of the television, citizens of the Huaxia Empire, and all the Chinese people in the world, Hello, I’m he chengjian. “On the occasion of the Chinese New Year, I Wish You All Peace, harmony, and beauty, and a successful and smooth life. “I also wish our country to prosper, and to change with each passing day!”
After he finished speaking, he zhichu’s face appeared immediately after.
He was also dressed in a tuxedo in that small meeting room, looking very formal and elegant.
“Hello, friends in front of the television. I am he zhichu. Today is the Chinese New Year’s Eve, our tradition, and our festival. I wish everyone a happy family, and all the best!”
After he zhichu finished speaking, his shimmering peach blossom eyes twinkled and his thin lips parted slightly, as if he was smiling.
Very quickly, he zhichu’s little new year greeting video on Weibo was taken and uploaded.
In an instant, it swept through the entire group of young girls on Weibo.
[ did young master he break off the engagement today ] : “Young Master he is so handsome! Ahhh!”
[ there’s only young master he in my heart ] : “I want to kiss! I want to get married! I want to marry!”
[ I’m he shaokuang ] : “Miss He, you’re thinking too much. Do you think it’s your turn to get married? At the very least, you have to be ranked behind me!”
[ I’m Mrs. He ] : “Mrs. He is here. Let’s get to know each other…”
[ miss he is the mistress ] : “Bah! Miss he is the mistress at most. I’m the real wife!”
Gu Nianzhi watched TV as she scrolled through Weibo.
These trending topics quickly went to her home page.
Gu Nianzhi found these young girls who were crazy fans very interesting and enjoyed watching them.
On TV, after he zhichu and he chengjian had paid their new year’s greetings, a host of the Spring Festival Gala walked out, he smiled and said enthusiastically, “Hello Everyone, we’ve also invited two important guests today, Mr. Zheng Yonghao, the Huaxia Regional Executive of The Mei Foundation, and Mr. Ishihara Baisan, the Chief Scientist of the United Nations Population Fund.”
Gu Nianzhi’s ears twitched.
What name did she hear just Now.-ishihara Baisan?
