He Zhichu frowned slightly. "Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"
He glared at the Ace of the Far East unkindly. He had just been slapped in the face by him, saying that he couldn't even protect Nianzhi in his own home …
But could he blame them for not being prepared?
As long as that lunatic Gu Xiangwen made a move, all of them together wouldn't be his match.
Gu Nianzhi tugged at the corner of his shirt and said softly, "Young Master He, tell me. I don't even remember, and I'm also very curious. Really, you guys are so protective of me. To be honest, I can't figure out how I could get lost right under your nose. "
She looked curious because she had heard from Lu Jin that he had taken her away that time because he had "intercepted" her.
He Zhichu definitely didn't know about the tortuous experience.
He looked at Gu Nianzhi's pleading face and couldn't steel his heart against her.
However, when he saw that the Ace of the Far East was also eyeing him covetously, his heart skipped a beat. He pushed Gu Nianzhi's wheelchair and said, "I'll take you back. I'll tell you what happened."
Gu Nianzhi nodded repeatedly. "Okay, okay, let's go back now."
He Zhichu pushed Gu Nianzhi's wheelchair towards the elevator.
Although their mansion wasn't a high-rise building, it also had an elevator that led to the top. However, it was only used for temporary purposes, and most people didn't take the elevator.
However, Gu Nianzhi needed to sit in a wheelchair, so she needed to take the elevator up and down.
They entered the elevator and didn't expect the Ace of the Far East to follow them.
"I'm sorry, please stop." He Zhichu pointed at the sign next to the elevator.
The Ace of the Far East looked at Gu Nianzhi and said coldly, "Don't forget what I do. With me here, I can help you find out the truth."
He Zhichu hated seeing the Ace of the Far East act like he was the best in the world. He shook his head expressionlessly. "No need, this is a family matter. Please go back."
Gu Nianzhi didn't want outsiders to know about her childhood. She smiled at the Ace of the Far East and said alienatedly, "You're very kind, but there's no need. I believe we can find out the truth ourselves. You should go take care of your female companion. She's been attracting too much attention today. I'm afraid she's already offended half of the female guests. "
Ace of the Far East: "…"
He Zhichu felt very comfortable when he heard Gu Nianzhi say "we" and insult the Ace of the Far East. His sparkling almond-shaped eyes were filled with warmth. He smiled at the Ace of the Far East and closed the elevator in front of him.
The Ace of the Far East rubbed his nose and had no choice but to turn around and return to the ballroom.
…
Gu Nianzhi and He Zhichu's elevator stopped on the second floor.
He pushed her back to her room.
There were still many soldiers standing guard in the corridor. The security was tight, and the security was much better than Gu Nianzhi's treatment in the other world.
He Zhichu closed the door, and Gu Nianzhi finally stood up from the wheelchair. She stretched and giggled. "Oh, it's not that easy to pretend to be paralyzed. My legs are all numb."
She did a few yoga bends. Her soft waist was like a willow twig, as if she could break it with her hands.
He Zhichu's chest heated up. He quickly turned his head away and pushed her wheelchair to the corner of the wall.
Gu Nianzhi exercised for a while before going to the bathroom to wash her face. She washed off the makeup on her face bit by bit. As she put on a facial mask, she sat down on the sofa and said, "Now tell me, how exactly did you lose me at home eight years ago?"
He Zhichu's expression was very ugly.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "Wait a moment. I'll go get my computer."
Gu Nianzhi nodded and leaned back on the sofa. As she dried her facial mask, she took out her phone to scroll through Weibo.
Her Weibo account wasn't on this side, so she casually registered a few alternate accounts to play slowly.
He Zhichu returned to his room and found his laptop. He opened it and looked at the things stored on it.
Fortunately, after eight years, it was still inside. No one had touched his things.
At that moment, someone pushed the door open and walked in.
He Zhichu looked up and saw He Chengjian with a dark expression. He quickly walked to his desk.
"Ah-Chu, what the hell are you doing?" He Chengjian slammed the table and questioned him. "Didn't you risk your life to look for her?! You were willing to give up the entire He family for her! Why did you suddenly want her to be your sister?! "
He Zhichu's expression didn't change, and his cold voice was emotionless. "… I feel a little tired. She's too young. Maybe I always give in to her. As time goes by, it's easy to have friction."
He Chengjian also knew that Gu Nianzhi had always rejected He Zhichu. He had thought that He Zhichu would be as unyielding as he was back then, until he finally won the heart of the woman he loved.
"You're letting go just like that?!" He Chengjian looked at him suspiciously. "You didn't do this on purpose to keep me out of it, did you?"
"Of course not." He Zhichu put away his laptop and naturally changed the topic. "By the way, Nianzhi's injury hasn't healed yet. I'm going to accompany her. You can go downstairs and host the ball. How can you do without a host?"
He Chengjian snorted. "I'll deal with it. Think about it carefully. What do you want? Nianzhi is a good girl. You can't let her down. "
The corners of He Zhichu's mouth couldn't help twitching.
He didn't want to let her down, but she had to give him a chance not to let her down!
He Zhichu walked to the door and said aloofly, "It's better for a relationship to be consensual. Don't worry, maybe I'll find a girl who loves me soon, and then you'll be able to hold your grandchildren soon."
"Huh?! Really?! Will I live long enough to see my grandchildren?! "
Even though He Chengjian was a cunning old fox, he was still led astray by the words "grandchildren".
He practically floated back to the ballroom on the first floor with a grin on his face. He greeted every guest with a smile, which made everyone feel flattered and even more flattered. Both the guests and the host were extremely satisfied.
That night, the He family's Christmas party was an unprecedented success.
Other than the opening episode of "mother and daughter failing to recognize each other and being attacked", everything was perfect.
General He was in a surprisingly good mood that night. He only appeared in the second half of the party, but his attitude towards people was amiable. Everyone felt as if they were bathing in the spring breeze and felt his unparalleled charisma.
Ever since his wife passed away, it could be said that he hadn't been so patient in many years.
Gu Nianzhi and He Zhichu, who were upstairs, didn't care about the noise downstairs at all.
The two of them sat side by side on the sofa. He Zhichu said, "You should have seen part of it last time. I'll show you the complete video now."
He pressed the play button. Soon, it was like watching a 3D movie. Gu Nianzhi found that they were back in the living room on the first floor.
However, this was a birthday party, not the resplendent Christmas party that night.
The crystal lamps glowed with a sparkling light. The guests were full of guests, dressed in fragrant clothes and laughing happily.
The living room was decorated in a childlike manner.
There were large strings of hydrogen balloons tied to the tall pillars. They were painted with the words "Happy Birthday Nianzhi".
All kinds of gold foil garlands hung from the crystal chandelier, and many colorful flowers decorated the entire hall.
Animal dolls of all sizes were placed around the living room, and there were circus troupes and clowns performing.
There were also servants in white shirts and black pants shuttling through the living room to entertain the guests.
There were many flowers and bonsai plants arranged in the living room, and there were people taking care of them.
Many of the guests were children about the same age as the twelve-year-old Gu Nianzhi. They were all wearing cartoon uniforms and playing around in the living room. It was extremely lively.
Some were wearing cloaks and dressed as vampire counts, while others were wearing maid costumes and dressed as Cinderella.
There were also people wearing masks and dressed as little Spiderman. There were also people dressed as Mickey Mouse, Minions, Tigger, and even little beauties dressed as Mulan in ancient costumes.
However, some of the cartoon costumes looked luxurious and exquisite, and were worth a lot of money. Some were obviously bought online for more than ten yuan, and the workmanship was rough.
Little Nianzhi, who was only twelve years old, didn't wear a cartoon uniform. Instead, she wore a normal puffy skirt and a pink diamond crown on her head.
From their clothes, it could be seen that these children came from different families.
Gu Nianzhi asked curiously, "… These children are all my friends?"
He Zhichu smiled. "A few of them are your friends, and most of them are here to make up the numbers. Some of them are the children of the He family's servants. They were specially invited to serve as guests to create the birthday atmosphere. "
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
"No way?" Gu Nianzhi didn't believe it. Although she didn't remember what happened back then, she didn't think she was such a snobbish person.
He Zhichu stroked her shoulder-length hair and said proudly, "What's so strange about that? It's very difficult for people of different social classes to really be friends. Although you were young at the time, you were extremely smart and very sensitive. You know very well whether others approve of you from the bottom of their hearts or treat you well on the surface. "
At the time, Gu Nianzhi would follow behind him after school and ramble on about what had happened in school. She would announce, "I don't like him because he's actually trying to please Brother He and Uncle He. He doesn't really want to be friends with me." She would also say, "I like him. Even though his family is average, if she buys two ice-creams, she'll share one with me. It's too hypocritical to give me all of them, and it's too distant if she doesn't give me any. One for each of us is just right. "
At that time, he would also carefully analyze the friends she had met at school and teach her to recognize what was true and what was fake.
If she hadn't disappeared and lost her memory, would they have naturally developed into a relationship?
He Zhichu rested his chin on one hand, his eyes dim.
There were no ifs. What happened was what happened.
Gu Nianzhi wrinkled her little nose and smiled. "I didn't know I was so talkative …"
He Zhichu's gaze shifted to the virtual projection video in the open space of the living room. He said, "Look, at such a birthday party, every guest has gone through a detailed background check. Even three generations of their ancestors are innocent before they are worthy of celebrating your birthday."
"There are also a lot of security personnel and orderlies here. The entire mansion is surrounded so tightly that not even a drop of water can leak through." He Zhichu paused and said self-deprecatingly, "But such strict security can't stop someone who is too powerful. As long as he makes a move, all of us combined won't be a match for him. "
At that moment, the virtual projection video in front of them happened to play the part of turning off the lights and blowing out the candles.
It went dark for seven seconds. When the lights came back on, He Zhichu stood alone next to the cake, and Gu Nianzhi, who was beside him, had disappeared.
A pink diamond crown had fallen to the ground, emitting a dazzling rainbow-shaped halo under the crystal lights.
