The low-key and luxurious black SUV screeched to a stop on the path in front of the official residence.
Huo Shaoheng, who was standing under the camphor tree by the wall of the official residence not far away, did not look back until he heard Gu Nianzhi call out to him. He turned around and smiled as she got out of the car.
"Huo Shao!" Gu Nianzhi waved at him happily. "Is everything done?"
Huo Shaoheng had parted ways with them at the airport, and he had only just returned. He must have had something to do.
Huo Shaoheng nodded. He knew from Yin Shixiong that they had gone to the Huo family's mansion in the military headquarters. However, he glanced at the car and saw that Gu Nianzhi, Lu Jin, and Huo Guanyuan had gotten out of the car.
Yin Shixiong had clearly said that Huo Guanyuan had returned to the Huo family's mansion alone in his car. Gu Nianzhi, Lu Jin, and Song Jinning had gone later. The two groups of people had taken two different cars.
Now that the number of passengers had changed, Huo Shaoheng sensed that something was wrong.
He walked over and naturally held Gu Nianzhi's hand. He nodded to Lu Jin and Lu Yuan, who were walking over. "Uncle Lu, Senior Colonel Huo."
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Senior Colonel Huo sacrificed himself 18 years ago. I'm Lu Yuan. Major Huo, don't mistake me for someone else."
Huo Shaoheng paused. "What happened?"
Huo Guanyuan had used his real identity to report to General Ji at the airport.
In just a few hours, why did he return to the temporary identity of Lu Yuan?
Gu Nianzhi saw Huo Shaoheng's confusion and gently pinched his palm with her fingers. She smiled and said, "It's a long story. Let's talk inside."
Lu Yuan nodded. "Let's talk inside."
Lu Jin looked at Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi's fingers intertwined and felt a little sore, but he didn't say anything. He lowered his head and followed them into Huo Shaoheng's official residence.
Huo Shaoheng took them directly to the study on the second floor to talk.
This was also his office at home. The security level was the highest. If he spoke here, he wouldn't have to worry about being overheard.
Gu Nianzhi obediently went to make tea for the three of them and didn't rush to tell them the reason.
This was Huo Guanyuan's own decision, and Gu Nianzhi respected his choice.
Huo Shaoheng saw that Gu Nianzhi was acting like the mistress of the house and was much more mature and sensible than before. He was happy but also a little bitter.
The price of his Nianzhi's growth was more intense and painful than that of others.
Lu Jin followed her to the small tea room in the study, leaving Lu Yuan and Huo Shaoheng to talk.
Gu Nianzhi heard someone come in and turned to see that it was Lu Jin. She chuckled. "Dad, what would you like to drink? I'm making tea, but you can have something else if you want. "
"Let's drink some tea. Do you have Wuyi Da Hong Pao? "Lu Jin walked to her side and looked at the dazzling array of tea cans in the open cabinet door.
At the very top was a row of small purple clay jars about two inches tall, neatly stacked in a frosted glass cabinet.
The row in the middle was made of small blue and white porcelain jars. They had the same style as the purple sand jars above, but they were made of different materials.
At the bottom of each jar was a small label that could be removed and replaced.
The purple clay jars were filled with black tea, while the blue and white porcelain jars were filled with different types of green tea.
Gu Nianzhi picked up the small purple sand jar with the label "Wuyi Da Hong Pao" on it. She pinched a small handful of tea leaves for Lu Jin and put them into an exquisite covered bowl of tea.
Then she went to the induction cooker to boil water.
Lu Jin watched Gu Nianzhi make tea and asked curiously, "… Is it always this troublesome every time you drink tea?"
Although he liked to drink black tea, most of the time he used simple tea bags and brewed them in boiling water.
Scientists' time was precious, and they would rather spend it on tedious experiments than on food, clothing, housing, and transportation.
Gu Nianzhi smiled and winked at Lu Jin. "No, today is special, so I made the full set of tea."
Lu Jin laughed and asked, "What's so special about today?"
Gu Nianzhi didn't fall for it. She rolled her eyes and said, "Today is dad's first time here, so of course I have to entertain dad well!"
"Naughty! Dad's not an outsider. "Lu Jin smiled and knocked her on the head.
While waiting for the water to boil, Gu Nianzhi asked softly, "Dad, why don't you stay here for a few days? It will take time for us to find a house for you … "
Lu Jin shook his head and insisted, "It was fine for me to live here, but Boss Lu has fallen out with the Huo family. If he lives here, that Huo Guanchen will definitely come looking for trouble. Why bother? It's better for us to live outside. "
Gu Nianzhi thought about it for a while and took out the door card and key for the apartment on the Third Ring Road. She placed them in Lu Jin's hand and said, "Then you and President Lu can stay at my place. This apartment is under my name, although Major General Huo paid for it. Although it's not as spacious and luxurious as your apartment over there, it's still my house. Don't worry about the security. It's 100% insurance. "
Lu Jin didn't refuse. He happily took the door card and key and said with a smile, "Of course I want to live in a house that my daughter gave me. But … "
He looked at Gu Nianzhi and said, "What about you? Where do you live? "
"… I live here …" Gu Nianzhi was a little embarrassed, but she had been separated from Huo Shaoheng for so long, and she didn't want to be separated from him again.
Lu Jin knew that Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng were actually married. When Gu Nianzhi was over there, she had already told Lu Jin about it in order to make him accept Huo Shaoheng.
But he still didn't agree.
"Nianzhi, you can stay here for a few days, but when Boss Lu and I find a house, you have to move in with us. You can't stay at his house until you have a public wedding with Huo Shaoheng. "
Lu Jin was very insistent on this. Although he couldn't build good relationships with people, he understood the things that went into relationships.
It was just that he was too arrogant to care about these things.
But Gu Nianzhi was different. She was his daughter. He could ignore those ordinary people, but his daughter couldn't be looked down upon by them.
Gu Nianzhi nodded awkwardly. "Okay, Dad. When you find a house, I'll move in with you. But you really don't want to consider staying in my apartment all the time? Ms. Song lives in the same building as me … "
"Huh? Really? "Lu Jin asked in surprise." She has a house over there too? "
"Yes, I bought it first, and she bought it later." Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes and remembered another house. It was the house that Gu Yanran had bought above her.
Later, Gu Yanran's embezzlement of the Gu family's property was exposed and she was sent to prison. That house belonged to Gu Nianzhi.
"Dad, I actually have an apartment in that building, but I don't know if I should take it or not," Gu Nianzhi said with some melancholy. She told him about Gu Yanran and the Gu's.
Lu Jin couldn't close his mouth for a long time. After a while, he said, "You're saying that the person related to the Gu family here, Gu Yanran, once killed Little Nianzhi here and seized the Gu family's property?! Then you snatched the property back, and now it's under your name? "
Gu Nianzhi nodded in frustration. "But I didn't do it on purpose! I didn't know I wasn't Gu Nianzhi here … "
She felt wronged. "I thought Gu Xiangwen here was my father …"
Lu Jin was so sad that his eyes turned red. He put his hand around her shoulder and tried his best to comfort her. "Nianzhi, it's not your fault. When I sent you here, I speculated that Little Nianzhi here was already dead. Otherwise, I wouldn't have sent you here. "
Something didn't seem right.
Gu Nianzhi suddenly looked up. "Dad, when you sent me here, you speculated that Little Nianzhi here was already dead?"
"Yes, if I hadn't speculated that she was already dead, I wouldn't have sent you here no matter how crazy I was. I'm sending you away to find a way out for you, not to send you to your death. "Lu Jin no longer had any psychological burdens, so he said it naturally.
Gu Nianzhi immediately chased after him. "But how did you speculate that Little Nianzhi here was already dead? From your tone, it doesn't seem like it's a normal speculation, but almost 100% certain. Otherwise, you wouldn't have said that you wanted to find a way for me to live, not send me to my death. "
Lu Jin's heart skipped a beat. He thought awkwardly and gratifyingly that having a daughter who was too smart was also a kind of sweet trouble.
