The Zhang family was completely silent. Even grandfather Huo gave Gu Nianzhi a serious look.
This little orphan girl whose parents were unknown was actually so particular about her food.
When she had been so knowledgeable about a bowl of glutinous rice balls, grandfather Huo had almost thought that he had seen his wife, Xie Ziyan, when she was young again.
Even though she looked completely different from Gu Nianzhi, she always ate like a pampered young lady.
Grandfather Huo’s eyes darkened. In all these years, he had never missed his wife more than ten years after she had passed away.
“Dad, look at Miss Gu. She looks down on our glutinous rice balls.”Qian Shihui’s lips twitched as she tried to convince Gu Nianzhi to look down on grandfather Huo.
Grandfather Huo raised his hand and said weakly, “That’s enough. She can’t get used to the food here. You guys can go. I’m already very happy that she came to see me today.”
He looked up and said to Huo guanchen, “Guanchen, prepare a plane ticket for me. I want to go to France to see your mother.”

After his wife, Xie Ziyan, passed away, she was not buried at Babaoshan. Instead, she left a note saying that she wanted to be buried at her mother’s home in France.
At that time, the Xie family had sent out a private jet to transport her coffin back to France and bury her in the Xie family cemetery.
Huo Guanchen was slightly startled, but he quickly nodded and said yes.
The Zhang family looked at each other in extreme embarrassment, not daring to say a word.
..
After leaving Huo Guanchen’s villa, Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng drove straight to Lu Yuan’s villa.
Gu Nianzhi saw that Huo Shaoheng’s mood seemed to be affected, and wanted to change the topic so that he wouldn’t think about grandfather Huo’s troubles.
She sat next to Huo Shaoheng and tossed her phone around like she was playing with a ball. She smiled as she tried to find out what Huo Shaoheng had to say, she asked, “Huo Shao, if I try to hack Guo Hongmao’s phone now, will it alert the enemy?”
Huo Shaoheng held the steering wheel with both hands and said without looking away, “I’ve already asked Little Ze to look into it. If you have anything you want to know, you can ask Little Ze.”
Gu Nianzhi nodded vigorously. “I know, I know. The other party is too powerful, and I don’t want to disrupt your plan. I’ll send brother Ze a message and ask him if he has any information I want to see.”
It didn’t take long for Huo Shaoheng’s car to arrive at the other side of the West Mountain, driving towards Lu Yuan’s villa halfway up the mountain.
Zhao liangze sent the message Gu Nianzhi wanted, but first sent it to Huo Shaoheng for him to look through before forwarding it to Gu Nianzhi.
Huo Shaoheng took a look at it and casually forwarded it to Gu Nianzhi. He said, “Take a look for yourself. Do you think you’ll find anything new about Guo Hongmao’s phone?”
The first work phone. Everything was normal.
There was nothing bad about it.
It was as clean as a lawyer’s work phone.
The second phone was used to contact his relatives and friends.
There was more content on this phone.
Gu Nianzhi read it with great interest.
She packed the interesting content and sent it to a secret email account in the cloud as she smiled at Huo Shaoheng. “Huo Shao, guess what I found out? !”
Huo Shaoheng glanced at her and said calmly, “This is Guo Hongmao’s biological father, right?”
“You knew long ago. Stop pretending!”Gu Nianzhi snapped her fingers, with a smile, she said, “To be precise, he’s the illegitimate child of the Cai family. He’s half-brother and half-sister with Cai Songyin and Cai Sumin, right?”
Huo Shaoheng did not deny it, nor did he admit it. He smiled and said,”… is he the illegitimate child of Mr. Cai? The Cai family is a scholarly family…”
“What’s so strange about that? It’s just because he’s a scholarly family that such things happen… can a scholar’s illegitimate child be called an illegitimate child?”Gu nianzhi winked at Huo Shaoheng, she smiled and said, “This is the byproduct of a good night’s study.”
“So Guo Hongmao’s capital in doing business comes from somewhere.”Huo Shaoheng did not continue gu Nianzhi’s line of thought. Instead, he thought of something else.
“You said he came from the Cai family, Old Master Cai’s side?”Gu Nianzhi shook her head. “But he changed his surname to Guo again. It’s obvious that he doesn’t want anything to do with the Cai family… why would he want the Cai family’s Money?”
Huo Shaoheng did not even think about it, he immediately said, “Changing his surname may be just a smokescreen, so no one will be able to discover the true source of his funds. You should know that he was a big businessman more than ten years ago. Even the Hong Corporation has to give him some face.”
Gu Nianzhi shook her head and looked at her phone with a frown, she said, “But he seems to have some contact with Cai Sumin and Cai Songyin. He would send a letter or something during the holidays. They’re not very close, but they’re definitely not estranged. He’s not like the Guo family, who basically treat him like his mother doesn’t exist.”
Gu Nianzhi looked at it for a while and felt bored, so she closed the page and started looking at the information on Guo Hongmao’s third phone.
This phone did not have a phone number, so she could only use WIFI to surf the internet.
Gu Nianzhi casually looked through the contents of the phone and found a few text messages on the phone.
The text messages were very ordinary.
However, the sender’s number made Gu Nianzhi’s eyes twitch.
She had seen this number before, and knew that it was actually an empty number. It had been disguised by someone, so there was no way to find out where it was sent from.
Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help but ask huo shaoheng, “Huo Shao, have you checked the messages on this phone that doesn’t have a phone number?”
Huo Shaoheng nodded. “You mean the number that sent the message, right? We checked and found that it was an empty number that had been disguised. We can’t find out where it came from.”
It was the same as Gu Nianzhi’s opinion.
She couldn’t hesitate any longer.
Seeing that Lu Yuan’s villa was within reach, Gu Nianzhi patiently got out of the car and entered the house with Huo Shaoheng.
“Nianzhi, you’re finally here! I ordered so many of your favorite dishes!”
Lu Jin happily welcomed them.
Huo Shaoheng walked behind Gu Nianzhi and greeted Lu Yuan and song jinning, who were behind Lu Jin.
“President Lu, Ms. Song.”He handed over the gift he had brought.
“Shaoheng, you should have come with Nianzhi. Why did you bring a gift? We’re not outsiders.”Song Jinning took the gift from Huo Shaoheng.
It was a bottle of’83 five-star Kweichow Moutai. It was much better than the’83 Lafite. It was truly priceless.
Lu Yuan was stunned when he saw it. He only smiled after a long while.”… you still have this wine?”
Huo shaoheng said calmly, “Grandmother left it behind. It’s not much. They’re all in the wine cellar. I’ll bring you a few bottles when I’m free in the future.”
Lu Yuan nodded. “We’ll talk about it later.”
The few of them entered the house and sat down in the living room to exchange some pleasantries.
Lu Jin had arrived early in the morning. He instructed Lu Yuan in the kitchen to make some dishes that both he and Gu Nianzhi liked to eat.
Of course, Lu Yuan would not only make dishes that Lu Jin and Gu Nianzhi liked to eat. He made a few dishes that song jinning liked to eat and Huo Shaoheng liked to eat.
Now that they were almost done, the stewed, steamed, fried, and roasted dishes were all ready.
When they arrived, he would immediately stir-fry a few plates of stir-fried vegetables and then eat them.
When Lu Yuan went to the kitchen to stir-fry, song Jinning followed him.
Lu Jin wanted to go over, but Gu Nianzhi stopped him and said coquettishly, “Dad, you’ve been with President Lu all day. Please stay with Me Now!”
When Lu Jin heard this, he couldn’t take any more steps. He sat on the sofa and almost took root.
Huo Shaoheng saw Gu Nianzhi’s expression and knew that she had something to say, but he smiled and looked at her without a word.
Gu Nianzhi gave him a look and then became serious. “Huo Shao, I have some thoughts about the text message that Guo Hongmao received on his third phone.”
Lu Jin blinked and held Gu Nianzhi’s hand. “Miss, who is Guo Hongmao? What text message? What are you guys talking about? Can I Listen?”
“Of course you can listen.”Gu Nianzhi patted the back of Lu Jin’s hand and smiled. “We just don’t have a choice, so we wanted you to help us think about it and see if there’s a breakthrough.”
“What is it? Can I help?”Lu Jin rubbed his hands excitedly. “Hurry up and say it!”
Gu Nianzhi looked at Huo Shaoheng inquisitively.
Huo Shaoheng nodded slightly and said, “It’s like this. Guo Hongmao is Guo Huining’s uncle, but he’s the illegitimate child of her grandmother…”
Huo Shaoheng briefly introduced Guo Hongmao’s background and his relationship with Guo Huining.
Lu Jin understood and snorted. “Does it have to do with Guo Huining? I’ll see how I feel… I won’t help if I can not.”
