After Gu Nianzhi was brought back to the He manor by He Zhichu, she was sent directly to her own room.
The room was heavily guarded, and only He Zhichu personally took care of her inside.
He Chengjian heard that He Zhichu had returned and brought Gu Nianzhi back, so he rushed over.
"Ah-Chu, you're back." He Chengjian's gaze swept past He Zhichu's face and looked at Gu Nianzhi, who was sitting in the wheelchair. He couldn't bear to ask, "… How is her injury?"
"What can I do? Why don't you try it yourself? "He Zhichu said bluntly without even looking up.
"… Didn't you find a good doctor for her and successfully perform the surgery?" He Chengjian had also heard about Gu Nianzhi's surgery at West Camp Hospital.
"Yes, if I hadn't found a good doctor, she would have been in the fifth or seventh month." He Zhichu said coldly, "I want to ask General He, are you satisfied to see her in this half-dead state? Was he going to use her as bait to catch someone? If there is, tell me now, and I'll catch him later. "
He Chengjian was rather embarrassed by his words, but he didn't dare to get angry at all. He said embarrassedly, "How many times have you said it? I was wrong, I was wrong, okay? Don't worry, I won't meddle in your affairs anymore … "
He glanced at Gu Nianzhi's movements from the corner of his eye and felt both pity and regret.
Gu Nianzhi had suffered such a serious injury. Even if she recovered in the future, her body would not be as good as before. She might not be able to leave the wheelchair for the rest of her life.
Being shot in the back was most likely a spinal injury.
He Zhichu lowered his eyes, his shimmering, sultry eyes flashing. "General He is a man of his word. I hope you will remember what you said. I have my own plans. "
He Chengjian breathed a sigh of relief and smiled obsequiously. "Good, good, good. It's good that you're back. I didn't mean anything else. By the way, I've already divorced Qin Yaoguang. I just completed the procedures this morning. "
"En. Congratulations. "He Zhichu raised his eyelids, and his attitude softened.
He Chengjian choked for a moment and quickly asked, "Then you'll be hosting the Christmas ball tonight. Who do you plan to dance with?"
Gu Nianzhi definitely couldn't do it like this.
He Zhichu replied without hesitation, "Of course it's Nianzhi."
"Huh?" He Chengjian was stunned. "Her? Can she stand up? "
He Zhichu looked back at He Chengjian and smiled wickedly. "Who said you can't dance if you're in a wheelchair? I'll show you later. "
He Chengjian: "…"
Forget it, he didn't want to argue with his son. Anyway, he could do whatever he wanted. As long as he was willing to come back, he didn't want anything else.
…
At six o 'clock in the evening, the road near the He family's mansion was filled with all kinds of luxury cars parked on the side of the road.
All the well-dressed gentlemen and ladies, rich businessmen, high-ranking officials, celebrities, and academics got out of the cars. They all held invitations and walked towards the He family's mansion.
On the evening of Christmas Eve, the temperature in the Imperial Capital had already dropped to negative ten degrees Celsius. The cold wind was biting cold, making people feel bone-chilling.
It was about a five-minute walk from the warm car to the greenhouse in front of the He family's mansion. Everyone was so excited that they didn't feel cold at all when they walked over.
In the greenhouse, there were staff checking and comparing the invitations, and there were also security personnel conducting security checks for everyone.
There were simple stands on both sides of the greenhouse, which were prepared for the news media who couldn't enter.
The media personnel carried all kinds of equipment on their backs. Some of them had even turned on a live broadcast to show everyone the grand occasion that happened once a year.
The people who could appear here were the true top figures of the Empire.
Qin Yaoguang and Old Master Qin came over in a modified bulletproof Rolls-Royce Phantom.
The car stopped, and the bodyguard sitting in front got down to open the car door for her.
Two other bodyguards surrounded her on both sides. One of the bodyguards even held a bulletproof black umbrella, covering her completely.
Qin Yaoguang's expression was as usual.
She was dressed in a Vera Wang custom-made champagne-colored lace evening gown. There was only one of it in the world, and there was no other one.
Her figure was exquisite and curvy, and her waist was slightly round. However, given her age and the fact that she had given birth to a child, she had already taken good care of herself.
Her hair was tied into a bun at the back of her head. Each 0.5-carat diamond was pieced together into the shape of a jasmine flower. It was embedded in the headband and circled around the edge of the bun.
As she moved, the diamond jasmine headband around the bun on her head almost shone into a rainbow under the night light.
Without a doubt, she became the focus of the audience.
Old Master Qin was wearing a custom-made Armani suit. He had white hair and a youthful face. He was hale and hearty, and he smiled when he saw people. When he greeted them, his voice was loud and pleasant to the ear. Soon, he started chatting with a few old friends from the business and political circles.
These people still didn't know about Qin Yaoguang and He Chengjian's divorce.
When they saw her and Old Master Qin get out of the car, they were a little surprised. They surrounded them and asked carefully, "Old Master Qin, your daughter personally came to pick you up for the Christmas ball?"
A few years ago, when He Zhichu wasn't at home, Qin Yaoguang was the hostess of the Christmas ball and hosted the dance with General He.
Old Master Qin didn't shy away at all. He smiled and said, "We're all guests today. Everyone, don't be distant with us."
… All guests?
That was interesting.
The people who could come today were all smart people. They knew what the song meant, so they didn't ask any further.
However, after they returned, these people all muttered in their hearts. Qin Yaoguang, the original hostess, had become a guest today. Didn't that mean that she was no longer a member of the He family?
Did that mean that she was divorced?
Qin Yaoguang felt like vomiting blood in her heart, but for the sake of a bigger goal, she still tried her best to endure it. She didn't show it on the surface at all.
She followed the crowd to the He family's greenhouse. In a trance, it was as if she had returned to more than 30 years ago. She didn't give up and insisted on following her father to see He Chengjian and Qin Suwen's engagement ceremony with her own eyes.
It was also on a winter day like this that at the He family's Christmas Eve ball, she wore a bright red silk qipao dress and an Indian ruby pendant on her forehead. She was dressed up in full swing and looked beautiful.
However, He Chengjian's gaze didn't linger on her for a moment. He kept looking at the ordinary-looking woman beside him, as if she was all his treasures …
That gaze was like a scar that was deeply engraved on Qin Yaoguang's face.
After so many years, that scar didn't fade. Instead, it got deeper and deeper.
Qin Yaoguang couldn't help raising her hand and touching her face.
Wen Shouyi followed Qin Yaoguang's cousin out of a bulletproof Cadillac at the back. She took a few quick steps and came to Qin Yaoguang's side. Seeing that she was a little absent-minded, she quickly raised her hand to hold Qin Yaoguang's arm and whispered, "Auntie Qin, are you alright?"
Qin Yaoguang came back to her senses and gently patted the back of her hand. She said lightly and mockingly, "I'm fine. I still want to keep my life and see our medical miracle!"
Wen Shouyi curled her lips and swept her gaze across the media stands on both sides of the He family's greenhouse.
The people over there received her signal and quickly made their preparations.
Wen Shouyi followed Qin Yaoguang and slowly walked forward. When they passed by the media stands, a female reporter in a dark red slim-fitting suit stopped them with a microphone and said very enthusiastically, "May I ask if you're Director Qin Yaoguang? I'm very happy to see you here. Your Qin Corporation's Private Hospital is benevolent and has saved so many lives across the country. I think the people of the country are grateful to you! "
"Your medical skills are world-famous, and you're also one of the best in scientific research. Over the years, you've published many academic papers on brain surgery in the World Medical Journal, and you're internationally famous."
"I remember that there was a brain surgeon in the United States who once said that Huaxia's Qin was a peak that he would never be able to surpass!"
"Your name is so well-known that even the deaf can hear you. We are proud to have a doctor like you!"
She had spoken for a long time without asking a single question. Was this an interview or a speech?
A female reporter next to him rolled her eyes impatiently.
Qin Yaoguang, on the other hand, was in a much better mood when she heard this. She said humbly, "You're exaggerating. I'm not that good. I just did what I could. I hope that everyone will continue to support our Qin Corporation's Private Hospital. Our Qin Corporation's Private Hospital has the best medical team in the world, especially in the field of biological genetics. Soon, there will be a major breakthrough in gene therapy. Please wait and see. "
Wen Shouyi also said passionately and regretfully, "Our Dean Qin has always been down-to-earth and honest. He has a straightforward personality and is not good with words. Because he has devoted himself to scientific research, he rarely spends time with General He. In order not to delay General He, our Dean Qin has taken the initiative to give up his personal love life. I hope that everyone can be magnanimous and not hype up this news. Give our Dean Qin and General He some privacy. "
She cleverly beat up the media and also spread the news that Qin Yaoguang and He Chengjian had divorced. She tried her best to minimize the negative impact.
Lu Yuan was sitting in a car not far away. He held his phone and saw the scene. He smiled and said, "This Wen Shouyi is quite a character. Nianzhi has a tough battle to fight tonight."
He was wearing a Bluetooth headset and talking to Lu Jin.
Lu Jin didn't come. He stayed in the apartment and had already cracked the He family's surveillance password. He knew everything that was going on at the scene.
"It's fine. Nianzhi's target isn't Wen Shouyi." Lu Jin didn't think much of it. He switched the surveillance screen in front of him to the outside of Gu Nianzhi's room and waited for her to come out.
