Lu Yuan and Lu Jin stood on the left and right respectively behind Gu Nianzhi.
They looked like they were waiting for her, but also like two bodyguards.
He Zhichu stared at Gu Nianzhi. From the corner of his eye, he couldn’t help but see Lu Jin, Lu Yuan, and Huo Shaoheng, who had just walked out of the lobby of Xiang Xue Hai clubhouse.
“Nianzhi, so you invited President Lu and Mr. Peter.” He Zhichu’s expression didn’t change. It was still cold and aloof, but his shimmering peach-shaped eyes were as black as a speck of ink, “Have you finished your lunch? There’s still a lantern festival tonight. Are you leaving now?”
Unhappily, Gu Nianzhi said, “Oh, I’m too angry to have any meal now.”
As she spoke, she took out the permanent VIP card He Zhichu had given her. She took a few steps forward and stuffed it into He Zhichu’s hand. She said angrily, “This gift is too expensive, I can’t afford it. Happy Lantern Festival. I’m leaving.”
She walked past He Zhichu and walked lightly towards the parking lot.
As they brushed past each other, He Zhichu suddenly reached out and grabbed Gu Nianzhi’s arm.
“Let go of her!”
Lu Jin and Huo Shaoheng shouted at the same time.
Lu Yuan pursed his lips and said, “Is there anything else, young master he?”
Gu Nianzhi slowly raised her head and looked from He Zhichu’s hand to the side of He Zhichu’s face.
“Young master he, is there anything else?” Gu Nianzhi asked lightly.
Xie Qingying had already caught up to them.
Standing at the entrance of Xiang Xue Hai clubhouse, she looked at the situation in front of her in shock and bewilderment.
He Zhichu had his back to her. She couldn’t see his expression, but she could see his movements.
Gu Nianzhi faced the mountain road. She saw Xie Qingying as she walked over.
Gu Nianzhi smiled at Xie Qingying who was standing behind He Zhichu. “Cousin Xie, did you find young master he? Thank you.”
He Zhichu suddenly let go of her hand, but he still did not turn around.
Xie Qingying let out a sigh of relief. She suppressed the strange and faint unease in her heart. She walked over and naturally took He Zhichu’s arm. She smiled at Gu Nianzhi as if she was declaring her sovereignty. “Young master is worried about you. Nianzhi, where’s Qin Haoshan?”
Gu Nianzhi pointed back with her finger. “Probably he is too scared to come out.”
She patted Xie Qingying on the shoulder. “Thank you, Cousin. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to guess who was behind this.”
Xie Qingying was secretly ashamed. She shook her head and said, “It was all your doing. I didn’t do anything.”
“You’re too modest, Cousin.” Gu Nianzhi smiled. “Although you may not have gone to look for young master he for me, objectively speaking, if you hadn’t gone to look for young master he, he wouldn’t have come in time.”
Xie Qingying was even more embarrassed, but she didn’t say anything else.
She realized that if she had to be eloquent, even ten of herself wouldn’t be a match for Gu Nianzhi.
What did other people do for a living?
They just relied on their words.
Although she also relied on her words for a living, she was still slightly inferior to a well-trained barrister like Gu Nianzhi.
Xie Qingying could only hide her embarrassment.
He Zhichu gave a soft “hmm” and finally made way for her. He said coldly, “I’ll give you an explanation.”
Gu Nianzhi looked up at him and asked in confusion, “Explanation? Who? For Qin Haoshan?”
He Zhichu nodded. “He shouldn’t have come to this place.”
“Forget it.” Gu Nianzhi waved her hand, she said calmly, “He will be taught a lesson, but I’ll have to teach him a lesson myself. Young Master He, you don’t have to worry about it. You can open the door and do business here. Anyone can come. Don’t let me affect your club.”
He Zhichu pursed his lips and said in a low voice, “That’s not the same thing. You can teach him a lesson, but I can also teach him a lesson.”
“Fine, whatever makes you happy.” Gu Nianzhi shrugged. “I’m going back now. I was going to have a good meal today, but that’s a disappointment.”
She did not hide her disappointment and displeasure in front of He Zhichu at all. She did not even say a word of courtesy.
She did not treat herself as an outsider at all.
Xie Qingying furrowed her brows and looked uneasily at He Zhichu’s increasingly downcast face. She said softly, “Nianzhi, young master he has tried his best. Young master he will be very sad if you say that.”
Although she understood that Gu Nianzhi still held a very important position in He Zhichu’s heart, Xie Qingying’s heart still ached when she saw Gu Nianzhi speak without caring about He Zhichu’s feelings.
To a certain extent, she could almost feel He Zhichu’s heartache and embarrassment.
Gu Nianzhi smiled and tilted her head. “Young master he is sad, you can comfort him well. Go for it!”
Huo Shaoheng couldn’t stand it anymore. He took a step forward and grabbed Gu Nianzhi’s arm. He said coldly, “The man and the woman are a match made in heaven. What does it have to do with you?”
Gu Nianzhi staggered from his tugging and said unhappily, “You’re calling me a monster?! Peter, I’m not done with you!”
She screamed and pounced on Huo Shaoheng, almost hanging onto his broad back.
Huo Shaoheng simply grabbed her legs and carried her on his back. With a smile, he said, “You’re a monster, I’m a monster too.”
“What kind of monster are you?” asked Gu Nianzhi curiously.
“I’m the kind of monster you think I am.” Huo Shaoheng tried hard to hold back his laughter.
“What do you mean?” Gu Nianzhi pinched his ear and whispered into his ear.
Huo Shaoheng replied, “You’re just a little pig.”
“You!” Gu Nianzhi snapped. Was Huo Shaoheng referring to her as a pig?
“Hmph! The Pink Piggy taught you how to be a human!” Gu Nianzhi deliberately whispered in his ear, and then huffed at her hands. Suddenly, she reached under Huo Shaoheng’s armpit and tickled him.
Huo Shaoheng was only wearing a thin wool suit jacket and no coat. Gu Nianzhi’s hands were as soft as bones and did not have much strength. However, when she scratched his armpit, the quivering sensation almost made his scalp go numb.
Immediately, Huo Shaoheng called out, “Stop! If you scratch me again, we’ll both flip the car!”
“Really? Where did the car?” Gu Nianzhi raised her hand to cover her eyes and looked around. “We haven’t arrived at the parking lot yet. What are you dreaming about?”
“You got into my car and still want to get out? “Huo Shaoheng had a double meaning and pulled her behind him.
Gu Nianzhi lay on his thick and broad back, her long legs shaking around his waist. She was so beautiful that she almost wanted to sing.
Huo Shaoheng immediately stopped her. “Okay. No matter how happy you are, don’t sing. You’re tone-deaf. You’re so out of tune that you’re leading me astray.”
“PFFT! You’re the one who’s tone deaf!” Gu Nianzhi simply grabbed him by the neck and threatened him. “Tell me! Who’s tone deaf? !”
Huo Shaoheng coughed. “I’m mighty and unyielding, rich and noble. I’ll never change my words for the rest of my life, unless you kiss me…”
Gu Nianzhi snorted. “In your dreams. If you don’t want to kiss me, then don’t. Am I the kind of person who doesn’t have a bottom line just to hear good things?”
In response, Huo Shaoheng said, “Aren’t you? — then I’ve got the wrong person.”
The two of them continued to fight like there was no one else around as they walked towards the parking lot.
He Zhichu stood in the open space in front of the Xiang Xue Hai Clubhouse’s lobby and looked at them with a complicated gaze. He did not move until they were nowhere to be seen.
The cold wind blew against the branches, making a soft rustling sound.
The two people in front of him did not know what they were talking about. Their laughter was blown away by the wind, like broken pearls scattered on the withered grass.
It seemed that as long as he bent down to pick them up, he would be able to tuck their joy into his arms.
However, when he really bent down to pick them up, he realized that there was actually nothing on the withered grass.
Xie Qingying was in a better mood. She smiled and said, “It’s true that a strong woman is afraid of her husband. Mr. Peter will probably wait until the moon shines again.”
Upon hearing that, He Zhichu closed his eyes. He wished he could force this scene out of his mind.
Lu Yuan was in a good mood. He pulled Lu Jin, who could not stand it anymore, away from the couple.
Lu Jin’s face was sullen. He was pulled by Lu Yuan until they got into the car. He pulled Huo Shaoheng out of the back seat and pointed at the front passenger seat. He could not say a word.
Huo Shaoheng was in an exceptionally good mood and didn’t argue with Lu Jin. He even pulled the door of the back seat for Lu Jin to let him in.
After Lu Jin entered, Huo Shaoheng sat in the passenger seat in front.
Lu Yuan closed the car door and started his Maybach 62S. He smiled and said, “Everyone hasn’t had lunch. Where are we going to eat?”
Gu Nianzhi giggled and said, “I think the restaurants outside aren’t as good as President Lu and Mr. Peter’s. Why don’t we go back and eat?”
Lu Jin snorted and retorted, “Forget about boss Lu, but Peter has only been studying for a few days. How can it be called Delicious?”
Gu Nianzhi saw that Lu Jin was getting a little emotional, so she quickly changed the topic. “Dad, where’s the hair and blood sample I took from Wen Shouyi the other day? Have you started DNA testing?”
Lu Jin shook his head lazily, and his temper flared. “I don’t want to.”
In response, Gu Nianzhi asked, “Why? Maybe it’ll work?”
“That’s her DNA?” Lu Jin pursed his lips. “It’s too dirty.”
Gu Nianzhi was rendered speechless.
