Xue Jingjiang hadn't expected Huo Shaoheng to see so much in the disgusting discord between a small woman.
He was speechless for a long time before he finally said in admiration, "Major General Huo, is this your occupational disease?"
Huo Shaoheng chuckled. "This is considered an occupational disease? Young Master Xue, this is the first time my occupational disease has been slandered so harshly. "
Xue Jingjiang: "…"
He couldn't afford to offend him.
He didn't dare continue the topic with Huo Shaoheng. He chuckled and said, "Major General Huo, when are you going to hold your wedding with sister-in-law? My red packets are already thirsty for them! "
"Then you'll have to prepare a big one." Huo Shaoheng casually exchanged a few pleasantries before changing the topic again. "… Does Hong Ziqi know? What did he say? "
Until now, he hadn't seen Hong Ziqi and Guo Huining apologize to Gu Nianzhi.
Xue Jingjiang quickly said, "I've already given Young Master Hong and his fiancée some pointers. They should be ready to apologize to sister-in-law, right? "
"Really?" Huo Shaoheng took out his lighter noncommittally. He lit it on the balcony, extinguished it, lit it again, and extinguished it again. The faint flame from the lighter shone on the side of his face. It was clear and dark, just like his eyes were obscure and unclear.
"… Probably …" Xue Jingjiang wasn't sure, so he could only say, "Major General Huo, Hong Ziqi isn't a bad person, but he's not very smart, so he trusts his highly educated fiancée …"
He didn't make his words very clear, but he implicitly indicated that Hong Ziqi didn't have the final say in this matter. Guo Huining had the final say.
Huo Shaoheng laughed when he heard this. He put out the lighter with a click and said, "Hong Ziqi is the Hong family. If he didn't agree with Guo Huining's actions, would he have let Guo Huining do whatever she wanted?"
Xue Jingjiang heard Huo Shaoheng say this and knew that the grudge had been formed.
He silently lit a candle for Hong Ziqi and even the Hong family in his heart. He silently thought, Young Master Hong, this is as far as I can help you …

Gu Nianzhi arrived at Lu Jin's room and looked around curiously.
This room was one of the guest rooms in Song Jinning's apartment. It was about 20 square meters and was decorated in a simple and refreshing manner.
There was a large desk under the south window, and an ergonomically beige post-modern chair was slanted in front of the desk.
The back of the chair, which looked like powder blue satin, was draped with a leopard fur blanket.
On both sides of the desk, there were two tall bookcases that were built together. The bookcases were filled with books.
The west and north walls were lined with L-shaped, ash-gray fabric sofas.
Lu Jin smiled at Gu Nianzhi and said, "This sofa is a bed. It's so comfortable to sleep on!"
Gu Nianzhi walked over and patted the back of the sofa to feel its hardness. Fortunately, it was just the right amount of softness. It was more comfortable to sleep on such a sofa bed.
She asked softly, "Dad, did you sleep well?"
In the other world, Lu Jin had never been a person who wronged himself.
He didn't know much about money, but his food, clothing, and accommodation were all top-notch because he could afford it.
Although this sofa bed was comfortable, it was still far from the custom-made high-tech bed that Lu Jin had in the other world.
Lu Jin patted her head in understanding. "Of course it's comfortable. Do you think your dad can only enjoy it and can't even suffer a little?"
Gu Nianzhi felt even more sad. "Dad, I didn't ask you to come with me to make you suffer …"
She suddenly felt very unfilial. She held Lu Jin's arm with one hand and the corner of his shirt with the other. She twisted the corner of his shirt into a knot and made up her mind. "Dad, I still have a villa in Xiangshan. You can stay there … If you sleep on the sofa here every day, where am I going to hide my face?"
"It's not like you don't know why we're living here." Lu Jin whispered into Gu Nianzhi's ear, "I'm doing it for Boss Lu! Don't tear him down! "
"… But he asked you to sleep on the sofa!" Gu Nianzhi complained about Lu Yuan's inhumanity. "I can't let you be wronged for his sake, can I?!"
"My girl is so filial!" Lu Jin was extremely touched. "But Boss Lu didn't wrong me. I didn't want the bed. I've never slept on a sofa bed before, and it's quite interesting. "
The corners of Gu Nianzhi's mouth twitched. "Dad, don't be like this. Actually, it's not a big deal for you guys to be like this. If you guys live here, Ms. Song won't come back to live. It's not as good as living in my two houses. You can still see Ms. Song going back to the apartment every weekend … "
Lu Jin tilted his head and thought about it. He nodded slowly and said, "Yes … but Boss Lu has just settled down. Let him be happy for a while. Anyway, our apartment will be renovated in another month."
"Okay." Gu Nianzhi nodded. "Then I'll help you move in a month."
"Okay! Let's go buy furniture together! " Lu Jin said excitedly. "I've prepared a room for you. What kind of furniture do you want?!"
"We'll pick it out together then." Gu Nianzhi breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the ergonomic chair in front of Lu Jin's desk. She touched the leopard print blanket. "This blanket is so comfortable. The fur is so smooth. I'll ask Ms. Song where she bought such a good leopard print blanket later."
If a little leopard print soft decoration was incorporated into the simple and elegant decoration, it would have an unexpected effect.
Lu Jin chuckled and shook his head. "That's difficult … I didn't buy it … Boss Lu took it out from the safe where he used to store his things. It's said that it was the first leopard he caught when he went hunting in Africa when he was young … "
"Ah –!" Gu Nianzhi quickly jumped up and instantly distanced herself from the leopard print blanket. "This is real leopard skin?!"
"Yes, it's real!" Lu Jin laughed and pointed at Gu Nianzhi. "So you're Lord Ye's good dragon!"
Gu Nianzhi giggled and sat down on the single sofa next to the door. "I'm environmentally friendly! Why am I Lord Ye's good dragon?! "
The father and daughter chatted for a while before Lu Jin asked Gu Nianzhi, "… What have you been doing lately? I heard you went to see your friends here this afternoon? How was it? Do they still remember you? "
"Of course I remember!" Gu Nianzhi shook her hair proudly. "My best friend, Ma Qiqi, and Brother Chen. Oh right, Dad, you have to meet Brother Chen when you're free. He's very talented in medicine. He's a genius!"
Lu Jin looked at her. "… Genius?"
"Of course, he's still a little worse than you." Gu Nianzhi quickly added with a smile, "So if he meets you, he'll definitely have a lot in common with you!"
She then whispered, "Ever since I came here, Brother Chen has helped me take care of my physical examinations, illnesses, and injuries. No one else knows about my physique …"
Lu Jin was relieved. He quickly said, "Then I really have to meet him. Just because he's taking care of you, I have to teach him a few tricks! "
"That's great!" Gu Nianzhi smiled and jumped up from the single sofa. She walked over to Lu Jin and reached out her arm to pull him to sit on the L-shaped sofa. "Dad, take it easy too. Don't scare him!"
Lu Jin flicked his fingertips proudly and looked askance at her. "Just a little bit from my fingers will be enough for him to use for the rest of his life!"
The two of them were talking animatedly until Huo Shaoheng came over and knocked on the door. He smiled and said, "… It's time for dinner."
Lu Jin and Gu Nianzhi stood up at almost the same time. Their eyes were bright as they asked in unison, "Can we eat now?"
"Yes." Huo Shaoheng stepped aside and made way for the door.
Lu Jin and Gu Nianzhi walked out one after another.
When they walked past Huo Shaoheng, he quietly grabbed Gu Nianzhi's arm and whispered in her ear, "… Did Hong Ziqi and Guo Huining call you to apologize?"
Gu Nianzhi was slightly taken aback, and her brain didn't work out for a moment. "… Hong Ziqi and Guo Huining? Oh, I remember now. "
She smiled and held Huo Shaoheng's arm as they walked to the dining room. As they walked, she said, "You know everything?"
Huo Shaoheng nodded. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"You didn't ask …" Gu Nianzhi said with a smile. When Huo Shaoheng looked over without batting an eyelid, she rubbed her nose again and said embarrassedly, "Actually, I forgot … You behaved so well at that time, and I couldn't be happier. How could I have the time to think about those unrelated people?"
Huo Shaoheng patted Gu Nianzhi's head and said after a while, "… You really have low expectations of me."
He had only said a few soft words, and she was so excited that she didn't even care about being humiliated by others.
"No way! I have high expectations of you! "Gu Nianzhi disagreed and said seriously," But what happened today is my own business. I don't need you to get back at me. Who are you? Is it worth getting angry with those people? — Major General Huo, you're someone who does big things. "
"Your business is a big thing to me." Huo Shaoheng suppressed the emotion and heartache in his heart and kissed her forehead. "If you suffer any grievances in the future, you have to tell me. I'm your man. If I don't support you, who will I support? "
Gu Nianzhi's heart almost melted when she heard this. She couldn't help going around to hug Huo Shaoheng's waist and said softly, "Major General Huo, did you become enlightened after going to the other world? I can't hold on any longer! "
Huo Shaoheng smiled but didn't say anything. He led her into the dining room.
Lu Jin had just helped Song Jinning put the food on the table when he turned around and saw Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi come in. He pouted.
The two of them were just walking. Did they need to stand so close?!
It wasn't like they were conjoined twins!
Lu Jin said to Huo Shaoheng with a sullen face, "Major General Huo, the bowls and chopsticks haven't been brought over yet. Can you go get them?"
Gu Nianzhi smiled and said, "I'll go get them! I'll go get them! "
She pushed Huo Shaoheng away and ran into the kitchen.
Song Jinning winked at Huo Shaoheng. "Shaoheng, I'll go to the kitchen and help Nianzhi get the bowls and chopsticks."
She left Huo Shaoheng alone to bear Lu Jin's dissatisfaction.
Huo Shaoheng smiled slightly and bowed to help Lu Jin rearrange the food on the table. He said calmly, "Uncle Lu, Nianzhi went to have dinner with her best friend today, but she was humiliated at the hotel."
Lu Jin's heart was filled with jealousy towards Huo Shaoheng. When he heard that his girl had been humiliated, he immediately threw all his emotions out of his mind. His eyes widened. "Who?! Who dared to humiliate my girl?! "
After saying that, he remembered what Gu Nianzhi had said. "… Did it happen when she went to see her friend this afternoon?"
Huo Shaoheng nodded and pulled out a chair for Lu Jin to sit down. He sat next to him and sighed. "It's my fault. I went to the second floor to eat with my friends. Nianzhi wanted to eat with her friends, so I asked the three of them to eat downstairs. In the end … "
He described what had happened at the Hong Corporation's hotel in the afternoon without any emotion. He tried his best to describe it objectively.
Lu Jin was already furious with this description.
He slammed the table and stood up. "… What Hong family? What investment bank? Where did these scumbags come from? How dare they take advantage of my girl! Do they think it's too easy to make money? That it's too easy to go public?! "
Huo Shaoheng poured Lu Jin a glass of red wine. "Calm down. Nianzhi has already fought back."
Lu Jin glared at him. "Nianzhi fought back? How did she fight back? "
"… She said she would never step into the Hong Corporation's hotel again." Huo Shaoheng said calmly, "That's what I said too. I'll never go there again in my life. "
The anger on Lu Jin's face suddenly faded. His lips trembled as he sat down with his hand on the table. "… She … That's how she fought back?! That's called fighting back?! "
As he spoke, Lu Jin covered his face. He felt extremely uncomfortable. "My poor girl, she went to the hotel for a meal and was chased out … The only way she could think of to retaliate was to never go there for a meal again … How could they bully her like this!"
Huo Shaoheng was silent for a while before handing Lu Jin a tissue. "It's my fault. If I had been there with her … "
"No, it's none of your business." Lu Jin sniffled and took the tissue to wipe his face. "You can't follow her 24 hours a day."
He was actually so reasonable …
Huo Shaoheng raised his eyebrows in surprise.
However, when Lu Jin looked over, Huo Shaoheng's expression had already returned to normal. He nodded seriously and said, "Although that's the truth, Nianzhi is my person. I can't let others treat her like this. Uncle Lu, if you can hold your wedding with Nianzhi earlier … "
Lu Jin interrupted him and said seriously, "Nianzhi said she wants to mourn for her mother for a year, so she has to mourn for a year. The wedding will be held after a year. "
Huo Shaoheng still wanted to persuade him, but Lu Jin had already raised his hand and said with a straight face, "In everyone's eyes, Nianzhi isn't married yet, so she's my responsibility. I'll protect her from being bullied. "
"… But she's already been bullied." Huo Shaoheng's fingers tapped on the dining table, making a ticking sound.
"Yes, then the person who bullied her will have to pay the price." Lu Jin crossed his fingers and clenched them tightly. His knuckles crackled, and his face tensed up. "I won't let anyone who bullies my girl have any chance to make a comeback!"
Huo Shaoheng: "…"
He was suddenly a little worried and said hesitantly, "… Just teach them a lesson …"
"Of course, just teach them a lesson." Lu Jin's expression calmed down. He heard footsteps behind him and turned to see Gu Nianzhi and Song Jinning coming out with bowls and chopsticks. He smiled and said, "But this lesson will be engraved in their hearts."
