Huo Guanchen stared at the TV screen that was playing the popular video. His mouth suddenly opened wide, and his eyes almost popped out of his head in shock.
Standing next to the internationally renowned Russian president, Pushin, was a man in a neat and handsome major general uniform. It was his son, Huo Shaoheng, whom he had always been proud of!
And the woman standing on the other side of the president, who was graceful, had a sweet smile, and had an elegant demeanor. Could it be Gu Nianzhi?!
Huo Guanchen couldn't help blinking. When he took a closer look, it was indeed Gu Nianzhi …
Was he supposed to look at her in a different light?
In his impression, Gu Nianzhi was still the little girl Huo Shaoheng had brought home for the first time for New Year's. She was eloquent, liked to nitpick, and was unforgiving.
He didn't like this kind of woman very much. In addition, there was something wrong with her background, so he had always been firmly against his son getting together with her.
He didn't expect his son to not take him seriously. He directly proposed to someone outside and even made big news.
He wanted to see how Huo Shaoheng was going to marry Gu Nianzhi if he didn't agree!
Just as Huo Guanchen was secretly venting his anger, the popular video on the TV had already shown President Pushin speaking.
The simultaneous translation used by the Huaxia Empire TV station was in Mandarin.
The president smiled and said, "… I'm very happy to witness their engagement ceremony. I hope that if I have the chance, I can also attend their wedding and be their witness. "
Boom!
President Pushin's words were like a nuclear bomb hitting Huo Guanchen's head.
He had just vowed to teach Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi a lesson by not letting Gu Nianzhi marry into the family. Now, he had been struck by lightning and was seething with anger.
Huo Guanchen's vision turned black, and his head was a little dizzy. His entire body swayed, and his legs could barely support his body.
He held onto the dining table and finally stood up. He panted heavily, and his chest was so tight that it was about to explode.
The dining room was unusually quiet.
Huo Guanchen finally remembered to look back and realized that Huo Xuenong was in a worse state than him.
Huo Xuenong was already over 70 years old, and his hair was white.
At this moment, his eyes were staring straight at the TV, and his face was getting redder and redder, gradually turning into the color of a pig's liver.
His eyes were bloodshot, and one of his hands trembled in the air. Finally, he slammed the dining table. "Nonsense! What nonsense! This joke has reached the international level! Get that kid back here! I'll teach him a good lesson! "
The corners of Huo Guanchen's mouth twitched, and his gaze turned cold.
He put his hands behind his back and looked at Huo Xuenong. He slowly asked again, "Dad, what did you say? I didn't catch what you just said. Could you repeat it? "
Huo Xuenong flew into a rage out of humiliation. He pointed at Huo Guanchen's nose and yelled, "I said he's messing around! What's wrong? I can't say it?! Without the consent of the elders, I'll see if he dares to marry that woman! "
"The Russian president is the witness. Dad, do you think your words still count?" Huo Guanchen was so angry that he laughed. "Besides, as his father, I don't object to it. You're already a generation apart, and you still want to interfere with Shaoheng's marriage?"
"How dare you disobey me! You unfilial son! "Huo Xuenong picked up the teacup on the dining table and threw it at Huo Guanchen.
Huo Guanchen quickly moved to the side but was still splashed by the tea.
"If my boss was still alive, you wouldn't have the right to jump around!" Huo Xuenong thought of his eldest son, Huo Guanyuan, who had sacrificed himself in the line of duty more than ten years ago. His insides were burning, and tears streamed down his face. "You've been inferior to your brother since you were young! Why weren't you the one who died back then?! "
"Ha, you finally said it. Yes, I also regret that I wasn't the one who died back then! "Huo Guanchen's eyes were red.
If it was possible, he sincerely hoped that he was the one who died back then, so he wouldn't have to face the endless anger, embarrassment, humiliation, and regret that had followed for more than ten years.
Although his brother had always been stronger than him, he had never been jealous of him. Instead, he sincerely admired and respected him. It wasn't until later that he found out that his brother had been coveting his wife, the woman he loved the most.
This kind of humiliation was something no man could tolerate.
Huo Guanchen and Huo Xuenong opened up old wounds and used the most hurtful words to attack each other. No one went to watch TV anymore.
Luo Jialan turned a deaf ear to them and just stared straight at the TV screen.
At that moment, the camera on the TV screen flashed and gave a huge high-definition close-up of the engagement ring on Gu Nianzhi's hand!
The moon under the sun..
This was Luo Jialan's first reaction.
Then her mind buzzed, and she suddenly stood up. She covered her mouth in shock, and her facial features were almost distorted.
She had seen the diamond on that ring before!
Although she had only seen it once, when her grandmother was still alive, she had taken it out for Huo Shaoheng to see.
At that time, she had stood at the door and peeked in through the crack.
She had heard her grandmother say to Huo Shaoheng with her own ears, "Shaoheng, grandma left this stone for you. In the future, give it to your sweetheart, to your wife who you really want to spend the rest of your life with …"
That diamond was so big and shiny that even after so many years, Luo Jialan could still clearly remember every side of the diamond.
That kind of gentle and restrained, but also dazzling brilliance was unforgettable to anyone who had seen it!
She hadn't expected the Huo family's heirloom to fall into the hands of a woman like Gu Nianzhi.
This diamond was clearly hers. Everything Gu Nianzhi was going to get was snatched away from her!
Luo Jialan's face twitched, and jealousy and hatred were like a poisonous snake coiling in her heart.
She really didn't get along with someone like Gu Nianzhi.
Luo Jialan gradually calmed down, and an extremely vicious glint flashed across her eyes.
If Gu Nianzhi didn't exist in this world, how wonderful would her life be …
At that moment, Luo Jialan actually had a faint feeling that Gu Nianzhi shouldn't exist in this world at all.
It was all because of her!
She had stolen the man she had had a crush on since she was young, stolen her status, and now she was going to steal her marriage.
How could there be such a shameless person in the world?
Why wouldn't she die?
Luo Jialan gripped the edge of the dining table tightly with both hands. She was so strong that she almost dug a hole in the very hard rosewood dining table.
There was a deeper layer of fear in her heart.
She knew that if she couldn't marry Huo Shaoheng, everything would be over for her …
The fund that her grandmother had left to her father had originally been in her hands, but Gu Nianzhi had already threatened to make her spit it out.
Also, she had only wanted to teach that mental patient, Song Jinning, a lesson. After all, her mother had died because of her. So what if she made her suffer a little?
Huo Shaoheng was known in the military for "never being biased", but when it came to his own family matters, he couldn't be fair at all.
Because Song Jinning was his mother, he was extremely biased.
He didn't even think about it. Because Song Jinning was between her father and mother, her mother had been depressed for more than ten years. As her daughter, she knew very well that her mother had been depressed for more than ten years!
So what if she stood up for her mother?
Why couldn't Huo Shaoheng understand her?
If it weren't for Song Jinning, her father, Huo Guanyuan, and her mother, Luo Xinxue, would have become real husband and wife a long time ago. She wouldn't have needed to rack her brains to please Huo Xuenong just to find a backer for herself.
After thinking about it for so long, the only way she could come up with to get out of this predicament was to marry Huo Shaoheng.
As long as she married Huo Shaoheng, all her problems would be solved.
She had worked hard for more than a year and finally convinced Huo Xuenong. When Huo Shaoheng had no choice but to get married, she would ask Huo Xuenong to convince Huo Guanchen, and she would get her marriage certificate.
To her, everything else was fake. Only the marriage certificate was real.
As long as she had the marriage certificate, she would be able to pull Huo Shaoheng back from Gu Nianzhi step by step.
She really didn't expect that the goal she had worked hard for for almost a year would be completely destroyed because of Gu Nianzhi's relationship with the Russian president.
Her beautiful dream was shattered into pieces. She knew that she would never be happy in this lifetime ….
But what was the use?
With Gu Nianzhi around, Huo Shaoheng would never look at her twice.
In fact, she had long forgotten that before Gu Nianzhi appeared, Huo Shaoheng had never looked at her twice.
The two of them had grown up in the same family, and Huo Shaoheng had never treated her more than as a brother and sister.
However, Luo Jialan had long known that she wasn't Huo Guanyuan's biological daughter, so she had allowed herself to have a crush on Huo Shaoheng for so many years.
In the end, the man she had guarded for so many years had been snatched away by a little orphan girl who had appeared out of nowhere.
A shameless person was truly invincible.
Luo Jialan cursed Gu Nianzhi in her heart. She clenched her fists and turned to leave the dining room.
When Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng returned to China, her good days would come to an end.
She couldn't wait any longer. She couldn't wait any longer.
Whether it was the fund or the lawsuit that was waiting for her to "abuse" Song Jinning, it was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
She had no choice but to cut off all means of retreat or fight with her life on the line.
..
Luo Jialan wasn't the only one who was shocked when Gu Nianzhi's blinding diamond ring appeared on the television screen in the popular video broadcast on the Huaxia Empire TV station.
He Zhichu was also so surprised that he almost pounced in front of the television. He looked at the diamond ring on Gu Nianzhi's hand with a hint of fanaticism. He rubbed the screen with his hand and felt the ring.
He had dreamed about it countless times in the middle of the night. He had wondered what Gu Nianzhi would look like wearing a ring inlaid with Grand Duke Joseph's diamond …
The diamond belonged to her, and so did the ring.
He was so familiar with the appearance of the ring that he could recite every single one of its data indicators.
He had thought that he would never see Gu Nianzhi wearing the ring in his lifetime.
He hadn't expected him to see it in the end.
Although he hadn't put it on her himself.
He Zhichu clenched his fists tightly and pressed them against his chest.
In the depths of his heart, he felt as if someone had used a barbed knife to stab him alive and gouged him.
It was so painful that he couldn't breathe.
He convulsed and fell to the ground.
After four years here, this was the first time he had an attack.
There was no one at home. Without his permission, no one could step into his house.
But so what if he could step into the house?
He was a burden to live on.
He Zhichu smiled bitterly and lay stiffly on the cold floor, unable to move.
Just as he was about to give up on saving himself, his phone rang.
He Zhichu no longer had the strength to swipe open his phone to answer the call.
However, he could tell that the ringtone was from his father.
The ringtone rang for a long time, echoing in the empty apartment.
He Zhichu gradually closed his eyes.
At that moment, the phone that had been ringing for a long time without anyone picking up flashed a few times. The built-in camera on the phone automatically turned on with a click.
He Zhichu's father, He Chengjian's face appeared on the phone screen.
He called out anxiously, "Zhichu? Zhichu? What's wrong? Say something. Where are you?! "
This number was the agreement between He Chengjian and He Zhichu.
No matter where he was, no matter what he was doing, as long as He Chengjian called, He Zhichu had to pick up within five minutes. Otherwise, something would have happened to him.
He Zhichu heard his father's voice and curled his lips slightly. At the last moment before he lost consciousness, he said, "Dad …"
Then, he fell into complete darkness and unconsciousness.
