The Imperial Capital International Airport was still very busy in the evening.
The plane took off and landed with flashing red lights. The command tower was brightly lit, and everyone was working nervously.
Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng stood on the walkway of the tarmac and watched the hale and hearty old man walk down under the lights.
Two tall men in black uniforms followed closely behind him. They carried briefcases and wore sunglasses. They looked like secretaries and bodyguards at the same time.
Huo Shaoheng brought Gu Nianzhi to greet them.
"Granduncle, did everything go smoothly?" Huo Shaoheng reached out his hand and spoke in a very friendly voice.
This kind of friendliness was different from the friendliness he had with General Ji and Speaker Long. It was a familiarity that came from the same bloodline.
The old man was Xie Shenxing, the head of the Xie family.
Although he was no longer in charge, his influence was still there.
He nodded and said gently, "It was fine. Shaoheng, is this your fiancée? "
He looked at Gu Nianzhi, who was standing next to Huo Shaoheng.
He had seen Gu Nianzhi's photos and videos many times, but this was the first time he had seen her in person.
To be honest, Xie Shenxing felt that the photos and videos didn't reflect her true appearance.
Although she was also beautiful and cute in the photos and videos, she was still far from being as lively as she was in person.
Xie Shenxing had originally been quite critical of Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng's relationship.
However, Huo Shaoheng insisted, so he didn't object. Now that he saw Gu Nianzhi in person, he finally understood.
With such a girl chasing after him so closely, even the strong-willed Huo Shaoheng couldn't remain indifferent.
Huo Shaoheng quickly introduced them. "Granduncle, this is Nianzhi."
He then said to Gu Nianzhi, "This is my granduncle, my grandmother's biological brother."
Gu Nianzhi knew that Huo Shaoheng's grandmother, Xie Ziyan, was the eldest daughter of the Xie family, so she quickly said, "Hello, Mr. Xie."
"You're still calling me Mr. Xie?" Xie Shenxing put his hands behind his back with a half-smile. "Since you're treating me like an outsider, I won't give you the gift."
Gu Nianzhi blinked and realized that this old man was very interesting.
She readily accepted his advice and said sweetly, "Hello, Granduncle."
"Good girl." Xie Shenxing smiled and reached out his arm to her. "Are you free soon? This old man has just arrived here and is not familiar with the people and the place. Would you like to be my guide and accompany me for a few days? "
Huo Shaoheng and the two black-uniformed staff behind him smirked at the same time.
It was his first time here, and he was unfamiliar with this place!
How could he say that at his age!
The name Xie Shenxing could do whatever he wanted wherever he went!
In the Imperial Capital, it was not impossible to make the Imperial Capital tremble three times with every stomp, but at least it was possible to make it tremble once.
Gu Nianzhi knew that the Xie family was very powerful, but that was outside the country.
This was because the Xie Family had moved overseas more than a hundred years ago.
She didn't know if the Xie family's name was still useful in the country.
So she helped Xie Shenxing up and immediately said, "No problem. As long as I'm free, I'll definitely accompany you. Just don't think I'm too talkative."
"No, no! I like girls who can talk. " Xie Shenxing praised her with a smile. "But you said that you'll only accompany me when you're free, so will you be free?"
Well, this old man's thinking was quite meticulous.
Gu Nianzhi deliberated and said, "I'm on vacation recently, so I'm not busy. However, I'm helping someone with a lawsuit. If the court is in session soon, I'm afraid I won't have that much time to accompany you. However, as long as I'm free … "
Before Gu Nianzhi could finish, Xie Shenxing interrupted her and said with a smile, "Lawsuit? Sure, I love watching lawsuits. When I was in France, I loved watching court documentaries on TV. "
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
Huo Shaoheng smiled and said from the side, "Our Nianzhi is a famous lawyer. She's fought many lawsuits and has never lost."
His voice was light, but the boastfulness in his tone was almost breaking through the sky.
Gu Nianzhi wanted to appear nonchalant, but she was extremely happy inside. She couldn't suppress the joy no matter what.
She turned around with a smile and said to Huo Shaoheng, "Major General Huo, I've only fought a few lawsuits, and you're already raising flags for me. If I lose this time, it'll be all your fault!"
"Hey, hey, hey! Can you two stop flirting in front of an old man like me?! Old people also have dignity. I refuse this bowl of dog food! "Xie Shenxing pretended to be serious, but his eyes flashed with humor.
Gu Nianzhi saw that the old man wasn't pedantic at all, and even used the trendy internet term "dog food" without missing a beat. She felt even more close to him.
"Granduncle, where are you staying this time?" Huo Shaoheng smiled faintly and led them to the parking lot.
The chauffeur arranged by the Xie family was waiting in the parking lot.
Xie Shenxing thought about it. "I'll stay at the West Mountain Villa. The scenery there is good and it's quiet. I'm used to the peace abroad. "
"Okay." Huo Shaoheng didn't say anything and agreed immediately.
The West Mountain Villa again. The Xie family was really impressive …
Gu Nianzhi didn't say anything else and followed them into the custom-made Rolls-Royce Phantom.
The car started smoothly, and she couldn't feel any bumps at all.
The noise outside the car was cut off, and it was extremely quiet inside.
Xie Shenxing took a sip of water and sighed. "I haven't been back in more than ten years. The last time I came back was for your grandmother's funeral. "
Gu Nianzhi didn't even dare to breathe loudly. She pricked up her ears to listen to Old Master Xie talk about the past.
This was all about the Huo family's history. Huo Shaoheng rarely talked about these family matters, so Gu Nianzhi naturally had no way of knowing.
Huo Shaoheng grunted softly. "I'm relieved that you're taking care of my grandmother in France."
"Your grandmother was buried in the Xie family's cemetery in France. In all these years, only you, your father, and mother have gone to pay your respects." Xie Shenxing's expression darkened. "Someone has been living a carefree life for so many years that he's forgotten how heavy his bones are. The main reason I came back this time was to help someone straighten his bones, and the secondary reason was to accompany little Nianzhi on a sightseeing tour. "
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
How did it become a sightseeing tour with her?!
Since when did she want to go sightseeing?!
"… Right? Little Nianzhi? "Xie Shenxing turned to see Gu Nianzhi and immediately laughed again.
Gu Nianzhi glanced at Huo Shaoheng. Seeing that he didn't comment, she smiled and said, "Granduncle is too funny. I should be the one accompanying you on a sightseeing tour. How could I dare ask you to accompany me? That would be too unfilial. "
"Hahahaha, it's okay. I like to deal with young people. Don't think that I'm old-fashioned. I also often chat and fight with people online. I even claim to be a cute 17-year-old girl!"
Gu Nianzhi burst out laughing. She clapped and said, "That's amazing! I usually call myself an old man in his thirties! "
Huo Shaoheng and the two black-uniformed staff looked away expressionlessly at the street scene that flashed by outside the car window.
Thirty-year-old men.
The three old men, who were about to turn 30, instantly felt as if they had suffered a critical hit of 100,000 points!
Xie Shenxing and Gu Nianzhi finally hit it off at first sight. They had an interesting exchange of opinions about disguising their identities online.
When he found out that Gu Nianzhi's computer skills were not bad and she could even be a hacker, Xie Shenxing's gaze was filled with admiration.
"Little Nianzhi is so amazing! I'll be under your protection from now on! "Xie Shenxing excitedly took out his phone." What's your phone number? Add me on WeChat. "
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
However, she still obediently took out her phone and exchanged phone numbers with grandfather Xie.
Then, she clicked accept and became Grandfather Xie's WeChat friend.
The heroic grandfather Xie immediately transferred 100,000 yuan to Gu Nianzhi's WeChat and said, "It's a greeting gift for Little Nianzhi."
Gu Nianzhi saw the number and almost couldn't count the zeros behind it.
"Major General Huo …" Gu Nianzhi saw that the phone was handed to Huo Shaoheng and asked timidly, "Grandfather gave it to me …"
She didn't dare accept such a large amount.
Huo Shaoheng smiled and nodded. "It's a greeting gift from Granduncle. Accept it. This is just the appetizer. "
The later dishes would be even more extravagant.
Xie Shenxing pretended to be angry. "What's wrong? It's a greeting gift from me. What does it have to do with this kid?! You still want him to nod? Little Nianzhi, it's not that I want to criticize you, but you can't spoil men. If you spoil them, they'll turn the world upside down! "
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
"Then what should I do?" Gu Nianzhi spread her hands and said with a smile, "Granduncle, can you share some of your experience with me?"
"It's very simple. You have to fight. If you don't fight for three days, you'll tear the roof tiles off. You have to be strict with men. When your grandmother was young, I always told her not to be too virtuous and not to treat men too seriously. Men are all cheap … "
"Look, she doesn't listen to me …"
Xie Shenxing was full of complaints when he thought about Xie Ziyan and Huo Xuenong. "I'm a man. Do you think I don't know what men are like?!"
After saying that, he proudly puffed out his chest. "My wife is different. She has always been strict with me. That's why I'm righteous and stable. My career and life are both fruitful!"
Gu Nianzhi suddenly felt that Grandfather Xie was quite cute like this!
Imagining the chaotic marriage life between him and his wife, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"What are you laughing at? You don't believe me? " Grandfather Xie laughed as well. However, after laughing for a while, he said lightly, "Young couples are companions when they're old. My wife and I have argued for our entire lives. I used to think that she was a little annoying, but she left alone first. Only then did I realize that it was already an extravagant hope for her to bother me again, hit me again, and scold me again."
Gu Nianzhi couldn't stand this kind of invisible dog food the most. It was simply fatal.
She turned her head to look at Huo Shaoheng, only to see that Huo Shaoheng was looking back at her.
In the dim car, their bright eyes shone brightly, intertwining with a rhythm that outsiders couldn't understand.
Xie Shenxing was infected by the tacit understanding and deep affection between the two fiancées, and he also fell into his own memories.
The car was silent for a moment. The driver and the two staff members in front didn't even dare to breathe.
After a while, Xie Shenxing snapped out of his memories. He turned around and saw that Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng's eyes were almost glued to each other. He chuckled and asked, "Shaoheng, it's too late today. Let's go to your grandfather and father's place for the night first. We'll go to the West Mountain villa tomorrow. Will we make it?"
"Of course not." Huo Shaoheng quickly sent the address of the military headquarters compound to the driver in front. "Please drive to this address."
The Xie family's driver and staff were used to grandfather Xie's whims.
They skillfully changed their work itinerary, notified all the support personnel, and changed their route to the military headquarters compound.
Gu Nianzhi was a little uneasy. "Major General Huo, do I have to go too?"
"Yes, stay at my house for the night today." Huo Shaoheng patted her hand. "That's your home. Don't feel pressured."
"Hmph! Who dares to pressure little Nianzhi?! "Xie Shenxing patted Gu Nianzhi's other hand." I'm here to support you today. From now on, you'll be under my protection. If anyone in the Huo family wants to make things difficult for you, they'll have to ask me first! "
