"I'm your Brother He, not your biological brother. You have to understand."
He Zhichu was moved to refuse.
Gu Nianzhi let go of her hand in embarrassment and stole a glance at He Zhichu. She saw that he was looking down and expressionless, so she had no choice but to find a way out. "Haha, I was just saying. The He family has such a high threshold, I can't get in either … Young Master He, please don't take offense. I'm not that lucky to be Young Master He's biological sister."
He Zhichu's brows gradually furrowed. He grabbed Gu Nianzhi's hand and pressed it against his chest. He whispered, "Don't play dumb. Don't you know what I mean?"
Gu Nianzhi blinked her large eyes vigorously, her long eyelashes fluttering like two rows of tiny fans. Her curvy lips curled up cutely, revealing faint dimples at the corners of her lips.
"Young Master He, have you forgotten? Didn't you say you wanted me to treat you as a brother? You're not keeping your word! "
She was referring to the time in the other world.
He Zhichu was momentarily speechless.
That was then, this was now.
At that time, he had made up his mind not to come back. Of course, he could only settle for the next best thing, which was to be Gu Nianzhi's only family member and watch her and Huo Shaoheng be together.
But now, Huo Shaoheng couldn't come over, and Gu Nianzhi couldn't go over either. So why couldn't he be with her?
He Zhichu gazed at Gu Nianzhi's faint smile and caressed her face. "I know it's too early to say this, but no matter how long it takes, I'll wait for you." With that, he immediately turned to leave. His footsteps seemed a little panicked.
Gu Nianzhi stared blankly at He Zhichu's back for a long time before closing the door.
Leaning against the door, she looked at her room. Although it was decorated almost exactly the same as her small apartment, she knew that it was different. No matter how similar it was, it was still different.
…
He Zhichu rushed back to the Imperial Capital overnight. It was already two in the morning by the time he got home.
He entered the house and casually asked, "Is my dad asleep?"
The orderly quickly said, "Sir, General He is still in the study!"
"You're still up so late?" He Zhichu frowned. "Didn't I tell you? He wanted to urge the Bureau Chief to rest early. He's not in good health … "
"Sir, we urged you to come back, but every time you wanted to come back, he would wait for you."
He Zhichu closed his eyes and asked, "Other people? Are they all back? "
The orderly looked at He Zhichu carefully and pondered for a moment before asking, "… Are you referring to Mrs. Qin? She's not back yet. "
He Zhichu's expression instantly turned cold. "Who told you to talk about Mrs. Qin?"
There was only one "Madam Qin" in this family, and that was his mother, Qin Suwen.
Qin Yaoguang had married into the family when he wasn't at home. He Zhichu didn't believe that his father, He Chengjian, hadn't instructed him to address her.
The orderly scratched his head and whispered, "… It was Miss Wen's order. We used to call her Auntie Qin, but when Miss Wen was around, Auntie Qin was a form of address between relatives. We … we had to call Auntie Qin 'Mrs. Qin'. "
He Zhichu snorted. "Wen Shouyi is no longer a military personnel, nor is she my personal secretary. Pass down the order. Her words are invalid."
The orderly quickly saluted and said loudly, "Yes, sir!"
After giving instructions to the family, He Zhichu went straight to He Chengjian's study on the second floor and gently rang the doorbell.
He Chengjian saw from the video that it was He Zhichu who had returned and quickly pressed the button to open the door.
The door to the study opened silently. He Zhichu walked in and closed the door.
He Zhichu walked around the multi-treasure pavilion that was used as a partition and walked into the inner room. He saw He Chengjian sitting behind the desk and looking up at him with his presbyopic glasses.
He took off his glasses and smiled as he pointed at the chair in front of him. "Sit, Ah-Chu. I'm very happy that you came back so late to see me."
He Zhichu: "…"
I guess you won't be happy later.
He placed the evidence he had brought back from C City on He Chengjian's desk.
It was just a small flash drive.
"Dad, I went to C City and learned something interesting. I wonder if you're interested in taking a look?" He tapped the desk with his hand and asked calmly.
"What is it? If you think it's interesting, then it must be very interesting. "He Chengjian chuckled as he plugged the flash drive into his laptop and pressed play.
He Zhichu leaned back in his chair and placed his hands on the armrests. He said coldly, "This is what my people found out."
"Look at what your precious wife has done since Nianzhi went to C City."
He Chengjian looked at the evidence displayed on the computer. She had instructed Wen Shouyi to call the four big law firms in C City and hinted at them not to hire Gu Nianzhi. She had gone to C City with Old Master Qin to apologize, but it was actually a humiliation. After being humiliated by Gu Nianzhi's rebuttal, she was still unwilling to give up and tried to create a bigger obstacle, but was stopped by Old Master Qin.
He Chengjian's expression darkened. "So, she still interfered in Nianzhi's matter?"
"Yes, that day, you personally promised Nianzhi that you wouldn't interfere in her affairs outside. You also guaranteed for Mrs. Qin and Wen Shouyi that the two of them wouldn't interfere in her affairs."
He Zhichu's voice became colder as he said mockingly, "But now you see, the two of them are pretending to be obedient. They don't even take your words to heart. "
He Chengjian stared intently at the video of Gu Nianzhi arguing with Qin Yaoguang in the conference room alone. He couldn't look away at all.
When he heard Gu Nianzhi say that Qin Yaoguang was an "earthworm that had turned into a spirit", he couldn't help laughing. He pointed at Gu Nianzhi's image on the computer screen and said with a smile, "This child is so mischievous! How could she even think of that! "
He Zhichu didn't laugh at all.
He looked at He Chengjian coldly. "You think it's funny?! You think it's funny to see so many grown men threatening a little girl?! "
"What's the hurry?" He Chengjian rolled his eyes at He Zhichu unhappily. "Look, she didn't lose out. Let me tell you, a person can only become a superior person if they can remain calm in the face of danger, remain calm in the face of poverty, and remain calm in the face of success. "
"Nianzhi is really a piece of unpolished jade …" He looked at her thoughtfully. "She is indeed worthy of the position of young madam of the He family."
"Even if she isn't that capable, she can still take the responsibility. Because other than her, I won't marry anyone else, "He Zhichu said casually, as if it would rain on a cloudy day and the sun would shine on a sunny day.
He Chengjian glared at him. "Do you think I'm blind and can't see it?! Otherwise, why would I go through so much effort to get her back?! "
He Zhichu was speechless. He raised his left index finger and rubbed it against his nose. He coughed lightly. "She's a qualified young madam. What about Madam? Do you think she's qualified? "
It was obvious that the "she" He Zhichu was referring to wasn't Gu Nianzhi, but Qin Yaoguang.
He Chengjian's eyes drooped in disbelief. "I thought she was just a straightforward person who didn't have so many twists and turns in her mind as a researcher. I really didn't expect her to be able to bully Nianzhi like this. It's a little too much. "
"Yes, she can choose not to treat Nianzhi as her own daughter, but she has no reason to treat Nianzhi as her enemy." He Zhichu slammed the desk and said angrily, "How could she not know what it means for a young person who has just started her career to prevent her from finding a good job?"
"She keeps saying that she doesn't treat her as her own daughter, but whenever something happens, she has to mention it. She's afraid that others won't know that Nianzhi is her daughter!" He Zhichu lowered his voice. "Haven't you ever advised her not to go crazy?"
He Chengjian smiled bitterly. "… Before Nianzhi came back, she didn't go crazy."
He Zhichu: "…"
Gu Xiangwen had sent Gu Nianzhi to their house when she was six years old. In the past six years, the number of times Qin Yaoguang had visited her could be counted on one hand.
At that time, she had treated Gu Nianzhi with a business-like attitude. Although she wasn't enthusiastic, she wasn't as overboard as she was now.
She hadn't expected that seven years later, when Gu Nianzhi, who had grown up, returned, she couldn't even maintain a business-like attitude.
He Zhichu stood up. "I still plan to move out. Dad, I don't want to interfere with your life. Please don't interfere with me in the future. Really, it's good for me, for you, and for this family if I move out. "
"Ah-Chu!" He Chengjian quickly stood up and looked at him anxiously. "I haven't said my decision yet. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"I have no intention of forcing you to make any decision for me." He Zhichu looked at his father calmly. "Really, I just can't control myself. Especially after seeing the video of her trying to beat Nianzhi up, I can't bear to live under the same roof as Mrs. Qin as if nothing had happened."
"Only now do I understand why Nianzhi really wants to leave this family." He Zhichu was a little disappointed. In the end, he still couldn't give her a true sense of security.
She couldn't relax like she did when she lived by Huo Shaoheng's side.
But it didn't matter. This also explained why Nianzhi couldn't fall in love with him yet.
If he knew what he was lacking, he would be able to correct it and do better.
When that day came, it would be natural for them to be together.
..
The next day, He Chengjian sat in his bulletproof car and went to the He family's cemetery.
The best grave in the cemetery was for Qin Suwen, and the one next to it was for himself.
He placed a bouquet of flowers in front of Qin Suwen's tombstone. He Chengjian took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the photo on Qin Suwen's tombstone.
The woman in the photo had a plain appearance. She had thin eyebrows, light-colored lips, and a slightly high nose. However, it was a little abrupt on her relatively flat oval face. Her eyes were neither big nor small, and her eyelids were always drooping. She looked at people as if she was mocking them.
No one would have thought that this kind of appearance would make He Chengjian, the only son of the He family, who was elegant, handsome, and arrogant, fall in love with her. He loved her so much that he couldn't extricate himself.
He had even broken off the engagement with his fiancée, Qin Yaoguang, who was from the famous Qin family and was even more beautiful, and married Qin Suwen, an orphan girl from the Qin orphanage.
However, He Chengjian knew that his wife was intelligent and intelligent. He didn't even think that she wasn't good-looking at all.
In his eyes, her thin eyebrows were like distant mountains, her light-colored lips were like clear water hibiscus, her tall nose was imposing, and her mocking expression had personality.
Not to mention that when she shone in court, she was simply charming.
He looked at his wife's photo and said in a low voice, "Suwen, I know you don't like to owe people favors. Yaoguang saved Zhichu's life, but I can't let Zhichu be unhappy because of outsiders. I think you'll understand. "
After returning from the cemetery, he went to the Qin family's private hospital to see Qin Yaoguang.
Qin Yaoguang had just returned from C City and planned to stay in the hospital for a few days before going home.
When she heard that He Chengjian had come to see her, she was so happy that she didn't even comb her hair. She ran to the door barefoot and reached out her hand happily. "Chengjian, you're here to see me!"
He Chengjian nodded and didn't hold her hand. He said lightly, "How's your injury?"
Her hand was already much better. There was only a light layer of gauze wrapped around her palm.
Qin Yaoguang's heart was even sweeter. She smiled and walked in with him. "I'm much better."
Wen Shouyi walked out of Qin Yaoguang's ward and said with a smile, "General He is here."
He Chengjian glanced at Qin Yaoguang.
Qin Yaoguang quickly said, "Shouyi is my assistant now."
He Chengjian grunted and didn't go in. He said, "That's good. Ask her to go to the He family's house to pack up your things and take them all away."
"Huh? Why do you want to take them away? " Qin Yaoguang was a little dumbfounded. She had just fallen from the great ecstasy of He Chengjian taking the initiative to see her. Her mind was in a daze and she couldn't think.
"There are some problems between us that we can't get along with. We'll live separately for the time being." He Chengjian said this and turned to leave.
