Gu Nianzhi grunted softly.
She had never been very lively in front of unfamiliar people.
Xie Shenxing asked with a smile, "Shaoheng is going too?"
Gu Nianzhi nodded. "Granduncle is so smart. Major General Huo did say to go with us and asked us to wait for him at the entrance of the military general hospital."
Xie Shenxing nodded approvingly. "Okay, he should indeed take you with him. You're not married to him yet, so how can you meet the male elders of their family alone? Especially people like father-in-law and grandfather, they have to avoid arousing suspicion. "
Gu Nianzhi shrunk her neck in shame.
Because she and Huo Shaoheng had already gotten their marriage certificate..
Legally speaking, she was indeed the daughter-in-law of the Huo family.
Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, they were only engaged and not married yet.
Gu Nianzhi tried her best to act as if nothing had happened. She smiled and said, "Granduncle is so nice. I know you're doing this for my own good."
"Of course." Xie Shenxing laughed heartily and patted her head. "Don't pretend in front of Granduncle. It's good for girls to be more lively. Didn't Shaoheng say that you're quite talkative? Why are you like a gourd with its mouth sawed off when you're with Granduncle? "
Gu Nianzhi's eyes flashed, and she couldn't hide her surprise. "Really? As long as you don't think I'm talkative. "
She then said with a bitter face, "… Major General Huo's father and grandfather both like quiet and virtuous girls. They probably don't like my looks …"
"They don't like you because there's something wrong with their taste. They can only see people who are lower than them, and not people who are better than them." Xie Shenxing wasn't actually a very good-tempered person, nor was he a patient person. However, he was very patient with Gu Nianzhi, and really treated her like a junior.
Before he returned to the country, he had already asked his son, Xie Beichen, to collect a lot of information about Gu Nianzhi.
Although the information the Xie family had collected wasn't particularly comprehensive compared to the information Huo Shaoheng and the others had, the information he had seen was enough to make him love and pity Gu Nianzhi.
Of course, most importantly, Gu Nianzhi was Huo Shaoheng's most beloved woman, and Huo Shaoheng was his biological sister, Xie Ziyan's most beloved grandson.
Even if he loved her, Xie Shenxing would still value Gu Nianzhi very much.
Moreover, Gu Nianzhi's biological aunt, Gu Tian, had once married a distant relative of the Xie's. Speaking of which, they really were in-laws.
There was no problem with the Xie family being Gu Nianzhi's family.
Xie Shenxing didn't want Gu Nianzhi to be too restrained in front of him, so he smiled and said, "You and Xie Qingying are cousins, right?"
Gu Nianzhi held her phone and said nervously, "… Xie Qingying is my cousin. Her mother Gu Tian is my aunt. But my aunt passed away a long time ago. I only met them recently, so I don't have much contact with them. "
Xie Qingying's father, Xie Dezhao, had remarried. His current in-law was the Long family of the famous Speaker Long, so Gu Nianzhi was embarrassed to claim Xie Dezhao's relatives.
"Xie Qingying is a daughter of the Xie Family. Since you're cousins with her, you're in-laws of the Xie Family. What's there to be embarrassed about? "
Xie Shenxing could tell that Gu Nianzhi was a little like Huo Shaoheng when he was young.
No wonder he was the one who raised her …
Xie Shenxing wanted to laugh.
Gu Nianzhi nodded. "I understand. I'll visit my cousin's family more in the future."
"If your cousin's family needs to visit, we need to visit even more." Xie Shenxing had already started planning Gu Nianzhi's wedding. "Our Xie family and your Gu family are both abroad. The custom of foreign marriages is for the bride to hold the wedding. How about this, our Xie family will hold the wedding for you and Shaoheng. In a few days, when your uncle returns to China, we'll hold an engagement party for you and Shaoheng at the Diaotai State Guesthouse. If you get married, where do you want to hold the wedding? "
Gu Nianzhi's heart pounded when she heard this.
She wasn't ready to be a bride yet …
After hesitating for a moment, she said honestly, "… I haven't thought about it yet. Can Granduncle wait until I've thought about it? "
"Hahaha … Yes, yes, of course you can …" Xie Shenxing laughed heartily. "But don't think about it for too long. You have to understand our Shaoheng's feelings … He's not young anymore …"
When Gu Nianzhi heard this, she couldn't help but think of the revenge from the "30-year-old man" that day. Her face turned red and she immediately changed the topic. "Is Uncle going back to China? It's all thanks to him that we were able to successfully file a lawsuit against the trust fund. "
Gu Nianzhi had proposed to freeze the trust fund under Luo Jialan's name in the name of "money laundering", but the plaintiff wasn't her. Instead, it was a person in charge of the European Union's banking regulator that Xie Beichen had hired to "hire" Gu Nianzhi to be the external lawyer of the European Union's banking regulator. Only then would she have the authority to file a complaint in the Swiss court.
"Yes, your uncle Beichen will be back in two weeks. These two weeks should be enough for them to prepare for an engagement party, "Xie Shenxing said with a smile.
He didn't need to worry about the specific preparations. The Xie family had professionals to take care of it.
The old and young chatted along the way, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
When they were about to reach the Imperial Military General Hospital, Xie Shenxing received calls from General Ji, Speaker Long, and Prime Minister Bai Jiancheng.
All three of them expressed their sincere greetings and warm welcome to Xie Shenxing, and expressed their intention to visit him.
Xie Shenxing smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries with them. In the end, he set the date for their visit tomorrow morning at the Xie family's villa in the West Mountains.
After the call ended, the car had already arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Military General Hospital.
Huo Shaoheng's private car was already waiting there.
Huo Shaoheng's chauffeur greeted Xie Shenxing's chauffeur, and the two cars drove into the hospital one after another. They stopped in front of an eighteen-story building surrounded by green trees, lawns, and a winding pavilion that looked like a jade belt.
Huo Xuenong's VIP ward was in this building.
The car door opened, and Huo Shaoheng got out of the car first.
He walked to Xie Shenxing's car and opened the door for them.
Xie Shenxing held Huo Shaoheng's hand as he got out of the car. He looked up at the ordinary-looking high-rise building and said lightly, "If your grandfather's illness is too serious, why don't we send him to a special sanatorium to recuperate?"
This kind of special sanatorium wasn't an ordinary one.
Huo Shaoheng smiled. "Does Granduncle have any recommendations?"
"That depends on how well your grandfather recovers," Xie Shenxing said meaningfully. "If he's already recovered, he naturally doesn't have to go. If he's terminally ill, for the sake of his safety, he naturally has to be sent to the best sanatorium. "
Huo Shaoheng nodded. "Granduncle has a point. Let's go see how my grandfather is recovering."
Gu Nianzhi heard that the two of them seemed to be playing games. She glanced suspiciously at Huo Shaoheng, then at Xie Shenxing, and pondered.
The group of people arrived at the ward and saw that the door was ajar.
Gu Nianzhi knocked on the door and said sweetly, "Grandfather Huo? I'm Gu Nianzhi. "
"Come in." Huo Xuenong's low and suppressed voice sounded, as if he was gritting his teeth.
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
She turned to look at Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng gestured for her to enter with his gaze.
When they arrived, Huo Guanchen's orderly was standing guard at the door.
As soon as he saw Huo Shaoheng arrive, he instinctively wanted to salute and greet him.
Huo Shaoheng raised his arm to stop him in time, so he only saluted.
Gu Nianzhi pushed the door open and entered alone. She looked up and saw Huo Xuenong staring at her. His eyes were red as if they were bloodshot.
Luo Jialan was actually here too.
She stood by the window with her hands in the pockets of her dress pants.
The window wasn't closed, and a breeze blew in through the half-open window. Her hair fluttered in the wind, and she looked like a fairy. Even Gu Nianzhi couldn't help praising her beauty in her heart …
But as soon as she spoke, Gu Nianzhi thought expressionlessly, I take back what I just said.
Before grandfather Huo could speak, Luo Jialan had already attacked first. "Gu Nianzhi, why did you go to the Swiss court to sue me for 'money laundering'?! You clearly know that it wasn't money laundering. It was my legal income! "
"Oh? That's strange. How would I know that it wasn't money laundering? "Gu Nianzhi spread her hands and immediately understood that Huo Xuenong had called her over with ill intentions.
Fortunately, Huo Shaoheng and Xie Shenxing were both at the door, so she had nothing to be afraid of.
"Stop pretending. Don't you know where the money went? You're deliberately using your power to get even! I'm going to sue you in court! " Luo Jialan tried her best to remain calm, but the madness in her eyes and her trembling hands revealed her fear.
"I really don't know where the money went." Gu Nianzhi's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately stared at Luo Jialan. "But you said I used my power to get even with you. Is it because you had a grudge against me in the past? After thinking about it, I only had a grudge against someone when I was in Germany … "
Gu Nianzhi took a step forward and narrowed her eyes to look at Luo Jialan. "Could it be that when I was being hunted down in Germany, you were also involved? Haha, if that's the case, then I'm not using my power to get even with you. I'm seeking justice for myself. — — Heaven's net has a long arm, but it never escapes. Luo Jialan, you've already been charged with two counts of intentional homicide. "
"I didn't want to kill you. Don't slander me." Luo Jialan forced herself to remain calm. "I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm waiting for my lawyer to come."
She finally realized that talking to Gu Nianzhi was full of traps.
She had only threatened her with one sentence, but Gu Nianzhi had already caught hold of her weakness. She almost wanted to counterattack.
Luo Jialan was so nervous that her bile almost rolled out, and her mouth was filled with bitterness.
