Song Jinning was a woman after all, so she knew this very well.
She smiled and said, "If Nianzhi wants to have as many as she wants, I won't rush them."
Lu Jin took it seriously. "But you just said you wanted a grandson? Why are you 'not rushing them' now? "
The corners of Gu Nianzhi's mouth twitched. She was about to help Song Jinning smooth things over, but she didn't expect Song Jinning to explain seriously, "I was just being polite. What I meant was that I'm old enough to have a grandson. It's not that I have to have a grandson, and I didn't mean to rush them."
Lu Jin understood and nodded. "Yes, Ms. Song is very cautious. It was my mistake."
Song Jinning had a better impression of Lu Jin when she saw that he had changed his ways.
Seeing that Gu Nianzhi was still driving without saying a word, she was worried that she would be unhappy and said guiltily, "Nianzhi, don't think too much. I really didn't mean to rush them. Actually, you're only 20 years old and have just started your career. You don't have that much time to have children. I understand. Besides, I'm so busy. I guess I only have time to visit my grandson on the weekends. I don't have time to take care of your children. "
Gu Nianzhi thought to herself that Ms. Song had never even taken care of her own son. Her mother-in-law, Xie Ziyan, had personally brought Huo Shaoheng up. How could she have time to take care of her grandson?
She hadn't had any hopes, but she didn't plan to have a child in the near future either …
Gu Nianzhi gripped the steering wheel tightly and smiled sheepishly. "Ms. Song, I know you're joking. But to be honest, having a child is really a waste of time … "
"How is it a waste of time?" Lu Jin whispered. "Actually, just be a fertilized egg and find a surrogate or something …"
Gu Nianzhi glanced at him sideways. Lu Jin immediately pursed his lips and didn't dare to speak again.
After a while, Gu Nianzhi said slowly, "I definitely have to have a child. It's impossible not to have one. But I'll only have one, no more. Also, I don't want to 'be a fertilized egg', nor do I want to 'find a surrogate'. "
"I want to have my own child."
Lu Jin was restless. He thought Gu Nianzhi was angry, so he racked his brains to make her happy.
"Nianzhi, I don't have any intention of rushing you. Actually, you can have as many as you want. Lu Jin reflected on himself. "Dad hopes that you can have your own family and children. Don't be like Dad and be alone all your life."
Gu Nianzhi's eyes immediately reddened, and she quickly said, "Dad, I know. It's good that you're like this. If I could be like you, I would wake up smiling even in my dreams. "
"What's so good about me?" Lu Jin looked at himself in confusion. "I haven't been married until now. Even my own children are …"
Gu Nianzhi was speechless again and quickly changed the topic. "Dad, you know particle physics! I'll fall asleep when I read a physics book. "
Song Jinning was interested in this topic and immediately started chatting with Lu Jin again. She said, "Nianzhi is so smart. It's a pity that she doesn't study physics and law. I've been persuading her to study high-energy physics with me, but she just doesn't agree."
Lu Jin didn't have anything in common with Song Jinning at this moment. He immediately said, "That won't do. Nianzhi was born to study law. Her biological mother is a very famous lawyer, and I am very happy that she inherited her mother's talent in the law. "
"Huh? Don't you want her to inherit your mantle and study physics with you? "Song Jinning was surprised and curious about Gu Nianzhi's biological mother." What about Nianzhi's mother? Why didn't she come with you? "
Of course, Huo Shaoheng had never mentioned Qin Suwen to Song Jinning.
Song Jinning had no idea who Gu Nianzhi's biological mother was. Even if she told Lu Jin about it, it was a taboo that she couldn't say.
Gu Nianzhi glanced at Lu Jin worriedly. Sure enough, his expression darkened. He pursed his lips tightly and stubbornly looked out of the window without saying anything.
Gu Nianzhi had no choice but to say vaguely, "Ms. Song, it's a long story. But my dad doesn't want to talk about it. Please forgive him. "
Song Jinning understood. She wasn't a particularly gossipy person, so she immediately said apologetically, "I was too nosy. I'm sorry, Nianzhi. Mr. Lu, I shouldn't have asked this question."
Lu Jin came back to his senses and said with a smile, "It's a great virtue to know your mistakes and correct them."
He and Song Jinning had each admitted their mistakes, and they had a deeper understanding of each other.
Gu Nianzhi listened to their conversation and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. She drove faster and faster.
Not long after, she stopped in front of the Huo family's mansion in the military compound.
There was already a car parked in front of the carved iron gate. The license plate was from the special operations forces.
This should be the car that Huo Guanyuan was in.
Gu Nianzhi parked the car and got out of the car. She asked the driver of the car, "May I ask when Senior Colonel Huo arrived?"
The driver stood straight beside the car as if he was standing guard. He quickly said, "Senior Colonel Huo just arrived and just went in."
He knew Gu Nianzhi and was very respectful to her.
Gu Nianzhi smiled and nodded. "Thank you."
She turned to Lu Jin and Song Jinning, who had just gotten out of the car, and said, "Let's go in."
Song Jinning had lived here for more than 30 years. Although she had been ill for more than 10 years, she was still very familiar with this place.
Gu Nianzhi had only been here a few times, but she had a good memory and had a deep impression of this place, so she led Lu Jin in with familiarity.
The soldier standing guard at the Huo family's gate knew Gu Nianzhi and Song Jinning, but he didn't know Lu Jin.
When they walked over, he reached out to stop them and asked, "May I ask who this gentleman is …? Do you have a pass? "
Gu Nianzhi smiled and said, "This gentleman is my father. He's here to meet my fiancé's father."
The soldier on guard thought about it silently for a while before he figured out the relationship between these relatives.
He retracted his hand and saluted Gu Nianzhi. "Lawyer Gu, please come in."
Gu Nianzhi nodded in return. "Thank you."
The three of them walked through the carved iron gate at the entrance of the courtyard and walked along the bluestone path to the main house of the Huo family's residence.
Lu Jin looked around and shook his head. "The house here doesn't have the grandeur of the He family."
Gu Nianzhi thought to herself, how could they compare?
The He family was like an emperor in the other world. They were the absolute leader.
The Huo family's status among the higher-ups here was still relatively ordinary.
If it weren't for the fact that Huo Shaoheng had been heavily groomed by General Ji as a rising star, the Huo family would probably be in decline with just Huo Xuenong and Huo Guanchen.
Song Jinning glanced at Lu Jin. She knew that things in the other world probably weren't that simple, but these weren't things that a scholar like her could ask about. She pretended not to hear him and walked up the steps with Lu Jin.
Gu Nianzhi led the way.
Pushing open the ajar door, Gu Nianzhi saw Huo Guanyuan's tall figure standing in the middle of the living room with his back facing the door.
In the slightly sunken living room, an L-shaped navy blue sofa surrounded the center of the living room. Another tall man stood in front of the sofa and looked at the person in front of him in surprise.
The man standing in front of the sofa was, of course, Huo Guanchen.
His eyes widened as he looked at the man who walked in with steady steps.
"… Big … Big Brother?!" He took a few quick steps forward to shake Huo Guanyuan's hand and said in surprise, "You're really my big brother?! You're still alive?! "
"Are you disappointed that I'm still alive?" Huo Guanyuan put one hand behind his back. He had no intention of shaking Huo Guanchen's hand, but his fists were clenched tightly behind his back.
The scenes that Huo Shaoheng had told him in the other world appeared in his mind, and the expression on his face turned even colder.
