As soon as He Chengjian finished speaking, He Zhichu quickly asked, "Wen Shouyi no longer has any security privileges. How did she enter this study?"
With both hands in his trouser pockets, he stood elegantly beside Wen Shouyi. His shimmering almond-shaped eyes were cold and indifferent as he stared at Wen Shouyi without a trace of emotion.
Wen Shouyi froze, then blushed. She pretended to be calm and said, "General He let me in."
He Chengjian waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "Yaoguang asked her to come and talk to me about something else. It's easier to talk in the study. It's fine. I let her in."
Since He Chengjian had agreed, He Zhichu no longer hesitated and said calmly, "I was the one who suggested this banquet to welcome Nianzhi back. As for the engagement and marriage, they had to be solemn ceremonies. There was no need to rush to bring them up at the welcoming banquet. This is too disrespectful to Nianzhi. "
A reception was a reception, and an engagement was an engagement. Although it wasn't a big deal to have two functions in one banquet, for people of their social class, it wasn't prudent enough. It was obvious that the man didn't value the woman enough, so he "conveniently" announced his "engagement" at the reception banquet.
He Chengjian thought about it and felt that what He Zhichu said made sense.
However, what he was most concerned about wasn't whether this matter was important or not, but that he could only be at ease if Gu Nianzhi married He Zhichu immediately.
He narrowed his eyes at Gu Nianzhi, wondering if her heart had already returned to He Zhichu.
Wen Shouyi smiled and nodded at Gu Nianzhi. "Did you see that? The He family did treat you wholeheartedly. Although Auntie Qin has always said that she doesn't treat you as her biological daughter, she doesn't mean it. She has always had you in her heart. She has never neglected your happiness. "
"It's your good fortune to be able to marry Young Master He and marry into the He family."
"All the single girls in Huaxia are scrambling for this opportunity. Of course, it will only be left for their biological daughters!"
Her words not only complimented He Chengjian, but also helped Qin Yaoguang smooth things over.
Even He Zhichu had to admit that Qin Yaoguang's suggestion was a little motherly.
Otherwise, He Zhichu would have a terrible impression of her based on her behavior in the ward at the Qin Hospital.
In He Chengjian's heart, of course, his son was the best. There were only people his son didn't want, and there was no girl who didn't want his son.
Even if he did, he would only be temporarily blind. After a long time, he would know how good his son was.
He had spent so much effort to get Gu Nianzhi back so that she could be with He Zhichu.
Qin Yaoguang's suggestion was indeed very favorable to He Chengjian.
He Chengjian was elated when he heard that. "Shouyi, you're exaggerating. Actually, I'm old. As long as you juniors can be happy together, I'll die without regrets."
Wen Shouyi quickly smiled and said, "General He, don't say that. You're still young. You still have to watch Young Master He and Miss Gu have children. You have grandchildren!"
"Ah? Grandchildren? "He Chengjian's eyes lit up, and his gaze swept between He Zhichu and Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi watched as Wen Shouyi drew a bigger and bigger picture for He Chengjian. Her eyes darkened, and she had no choice but to say, "Miss Wen, what do you mean by that? In the ward today, Mrs. Qin and I already made it clear. She doesn't treat me as her biological daughter, and I don't treat her as my biological mother. We almost signed a mother-daughter relationship. May I ask where she and you got the nerve to turn around and interfere with my personal marriage? "
"Huh? You're still blaming Auntie Qin? " Wen Shouyi pretended to be enlightened. "But in the ward today, Auntie Qin was too impatient. You were also like Little Chili Pepper. You were at odds with each other. Didn't you start quarreling?"
She then clicked her tongue. "Actually, after seeing you talk in the ward today, no one doesn't believe that you're not mother and daughter. You're both equally stubborn!"
He Chengjian understood that Gu Nianzhi had gone to see Qin Yaoguang today and seemed to have caused a scene. He quickly said, "Nianzhi, your mother is indeed a straightforward person. She says what's on her mind. Although her words may not be pleasant, she doesn't hold a grudge against others. She forgets after saying it. She's all about medicine and doesn't know much about the ways of the world. "
Gu Nianzhi blinked and thought to herself, so Mrs. Qin Yaoguang was using the persona of a "straightforward scientist who didn't understand the ways of the world" in front of General He …
This persona was indeed quite interesting. If she offended you, it was because she didn't understand the ways of the world, and if she said the wrong thing, it was because she was straightforward.
She was in an invincible position.
But it didn't matter. She, Gu Nianzhi, also knew how to set up a persona.
She was now the persona of a "little cabbage who yearned for maternal love but couldn't be abandoned by her biological mother"..
Let's see who can act better.
Gu Nianzhi's eyes reddened, and tears immediately fell. "Yes, she's a straightforward person. She can say in front of me that she doesn't treat me as her biological daughter. But all these years, what I've yearned for the most is a mother who dotes on me, loves me, and puts me first. She's straightforward, but she's also the director of a big hospital. She has so many people in her hands, so how could she not know how to speak? She just thinks that to me, she doesn't need to put in so much effort to speak properly. "
He Zhichu thought about what he had seen in the ward today and felt extremely sorry for Gu Nianzhi. He put his arm around her shoulder and patted her gently.
He Chengjian saw that Gu Nianzhi was crying and felt pity for her. He quickly handed her a tissue and said, "Nianzhi, don't cry. If you feel wronged, tell Uncle He. If your mother goes overboard, Uncle He will have a good talk with her."
Gu Nianzhi took the tissue and wiped her tears. She said aggrievedly, "She doesn't understand the ways of the world, but I'm also an orphan girl who has no parents and lives under someone else's roof. Who taught me the ways of the world? How old is she? How old am I? I've never done my duty as a mother, and now I want to dictate my marriage. I really can't accept this. "
The corners of Wen Shouyi's mouth twitched as she watched from the side.
When did this Gu Nianzhi "crave motherly love"?!
She was following Huo Shaoheng over there. She was so smug and arrogant. How did she look like a "little orphan girl who has no parents and lives under someone else's roof" at all?
This was too much of a blatant lie.
The corners of Wen Shouyi's mouth twitched. She smiled apologetically and said, "Nianzhi, you're too sensitive. A child doesn't speak of his mother's mistakes. Even if Auntie Qin doesn't pay attention to her words, it's because she treats you as her own daughter. Do you have to choose your words carefully when speaking to your own daughter? Don't you think that's too distant? "
Gu Nianzhi stopped crying and said seriously, "I don't think so. Even if we're as close as father and son and mother and daughter, basic courtesy is still needed. Besides, she's already said that she doesn't treat me as her own daughter, so your premise isn't valid. Since your premise isn't valid, then your conclusion isn't valid either, so don't bite the bullet and clear her name. "
Wen Shouyi's face turned red from her rebuke. She said embarrassedly, "Haha, this isn't a court. Do you still need to make logical deductions?"
"Miss Wen, you're also a lawyer. I thought it was a lawyer's occupational disease to speak logically. " Gu Nianzhi's tears quickly welled up again. "Besides, do you really think her proposal is to treat me as her own daughter? You're too naive. "
Wen Shouyi had always been known for being "steady and magnanimous". No one had ever called her "naive".
She couldn't take it anymore. She subconsciously asked, "Why doesn't she treat you as her own daughter? She chose such a good marriage for you, and you're still not satisfied?! How many people can't get it even if they beg for it … "
Gu Nianzhi turned her head away and said with a sulky expression, "If she really treats me as her own daughter, she should be concerned about what kind of person I like and whether I'm willing to marry! She shouldn't be so eager to suck up to him and sell me off like a commodity! "
He Chengjian frowned and said unhappily, "Yaoguang knows what's good for you. She knows that Zhichu loves you the most, so what's wrong with suggesting that you get engaged and married immediately?"
"Of course there's something wrong." Gu Nianzhi even refuted He Chengjian's words. "Who is the most important person to you, Uncle He?"
"Of course it's Zhichu," He Chengjian said without hesitation.
"That's right. Then what were you thinking about when you were considering a marriage partner for Professor He?"
"Of course I was thinking about who the girl he loves the most is. My greatest wish is for him to marry the girl he loves the most."
Gu Nianzhi sighed and said enviously, "Professor He is really lucky to have a father like you."
To He Zhichu, being a father was the best he could be.
"But, for Ms. Qin, has she considered my feelings? Does she know who I love the most? No! To her, the most important thing is to please you, Uncle He, and make your son happy. Not to consider the wishes of my 'biological daughter'! "
"If someone didn't know better heard this, they would think she was Professor He's biological mother!"
"Did she ask me who I like? Did she ask me who I want to marry? "
"She didn't ask anything! Now she's even saying she's her biological mother. How disgusting. "
Gu Nianzhi glanced at He Zhichu as she spoke.
He Zhichu noticed Gu Nianzhi's gaze and understood what she meant. He felt indescribably uncomfortable.
However, he had promised Gu Nianzhi, so he couldn't go back on his word.
Gu Nianzhi still had feelings for Huo Shaoheng, so she still refused to accept him.
If he didn't say something to express his stance, this little lady would probably fall out with him on the spot.
However, before He Zhichu could speak, He Chengjian's expression had already changed. He asked sternly, "You've said so much. Are you still unwilling to be with Zhichu?!"
Gu Nianzhi didn't beat around the bush and simply told him the truth. "You also know that I'm already engaged to someone else. The matter between me and your son was actually just a verbal agreement between the two families when we were young. It has no legal effect."
"If you insist on going your own way against my wishes, then try it. I'll show you what it means to force a melon not to be sweet!"
