If he wasn't mistaken, this man was Gu Nianzhi's biological father.
Huo Guanchen remembered what his personal secretary had found out about Lu Jin.
"… He's a scientist who came back from abroad. He's not famous, but he saved Senior Colonel Huo Guanyuan's life."
"He returned to the country with Senior Colonel Huo Guanyuan and was rewarded according to his merits, so he was able to become a Huaxia citizen."
He was just an ordinary scholar.
Huo Guanchen had originally thought that Gu Nianzhi was Gu Xiangwen's daughter, but it turned out that she wasn't. Gu Xiangwen's contributions to the Huaxia Empire couldn't be attributed to Gu Nianzhi, so naturally, it had nothing to do with Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Guanchen felt that it was a great pity.
Now that he heard that Gu Nianzhi's biological father was just an ordinary scientist, he felt even more regretful.
He was not interested in people in academia. This time, he was able to spend some effort to get to know Lu Jin because Lu Jin had gone to the Institute of High Energy Physics as a visiting professor and had become colleagues with Song Jinning. That was why he had asked about Lu Jin's background.
She really didn't look very attractive. How did she give birth to such a beautiful daughter?
Lu Jin noticed that Huo Guanchen was looking at him. He couldn't help but think that Huo Guanchen was Huo Shaoheng's father, and that Huo Shaoheng had kidnapped his smart and cute girl. He was furious.
However, Huo Shaoheng had saved his life, so he couldn't vent his anger on Huo Shaoheng. Instead, he vented it on Huo Guanchen.
Lu Jin glared at Huo Guanchen.
Huo Guanchen was taken aback.
This man actually dared to throw his face at him?
Has he gone stupid from studying so much?
If his daughter wanted to marry into the Huo family, she would be climbing up the social ladder. Didn't he know that?
What good could his daughter get from offending him?
Huo Guanchen smiled coldly. He planned to teach the arrogant father and daughter a lesson later.
…
The group of people followed Huo Shaoheng into the Xiao family's courtyard. Xiao Ye's father, General Xiao, and mother, Principal Chen, came out to welcome them.
Xiao Ye sat in a wheelchair and was pushed out by her own health nurse.
"Mr. Huo! You're back! " Xiao Ye's eyes lit up when she saw Huo Shaoheng walking at the front. She urged the nurse to push the wheelchair quickly.
Huo Shaoheng nodded with a smile. "I'm back. I've been free lately, so I wanted to see how you've recovered."
Gu Nianzhi walked out from behind Huo Shaoheng and smiled. "Sister Xiao Ye, thank you for saving me!"
Xiao Ye paused and smiled at Gu Nianzhi. "Nianzhi, you're back too? Are you alright? "
Only the two of them knew about the situation at that time. Xiao Ye wouldn't mention it in front of so many people.
Gu Nianzhi nodded. "I'm fine. It was a false alarm."
She said it casually because she didn't want to reveal too many details.
A year ago, she had been kidnapped by He Chengjian's men to the other world. It was a top secret in the entire upper echelons of the Huaxia Empire.
So far, there were only five people in the entire Huaxia Empire who knew the details.
General Ji, Speaker Long, Prime Minister Bai, Huo Shaoheng, and Song Jinning.
Only the five of them knew what had happened a year ago.
Those who knew about Gu Nianzhi's disappearance were limited to a small group of high-ranking officials and core members of the Special Operations Forces.
Xiao Ye was also one of the core members of the Special Operations Forces.
However, Gu Nianzhi's relaxed attitude made Xiao Ye's mother, Principal Chen, very unhappy.
However, in front of so many people, she wouldn't get angry at Gu Nianzhi. Instead, she said calmly, "Thank you, everyone, for coming to see my daughter. My daughter was beaten into a cripple a year ago, and she still can't stand and walk. Even her arms are weak, and it's a problem for her to hold a bowl and eat. "
She then glanced at Gu Nianzhi lightly. What she meant was that it was a false alarm, but her daughter's life was ruined …
The smile on Gu Nianzhi's face froze. She quickly said, "Sister Xiao Ye was beaten up like this because of me. I'll definitely find the best doctor to treat Xiao Ye. Don't worry, Principal Chen. There will definitely be a way. "
Principal Chen was furious. She thought to herself that this girl was really taking advantage of her.
There would definitely be a way?
What way?
Even her nephew, Chen Lie, was helpless against a serious injury, and she still had the face to lie to them!
However, she only thought about it in her heart. She was too embarrassed to say it out loud. She only chuckled and invited them to sit down in the living room.
Xiao Ye quickly glanced at Huo Shaoheng. Seeing that Huo Shaoheng was still calm and composed, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled at Gu Nianzhi and said, "Miss Gu, it's good that you're fine. I'm fine too."
Principal Chen placed a memory cotton pillow behind Xiao Ye's waist and said, "You're such a silly girl … Miss Gu was just being polite, and you took her seriously."
Gu Nianzhi's face darkened.
She understood what Xiao Ye's mother meant.
Gu Nianzhi didn't retort. She silently took a few steps back and stood beside Lu Jin.
Xiao Ye had been beaten into a cripple because of her. Her mother loved her daughter dearly, so it was only right for her to be unhappy with her. Gu Nianzhi didn't feel uncomfortable, but she felt very sad.
She looked at Lu Jin as if asking for help. Her big eyes seemed to be able to speak as she kept winking at Lu Jin, wanting him to help her take a look.
Lu Jin nodded at her and took a step forward. "Are you Xiao Ye's mother? I'm Nianzhi's father. Thank you for saving my girl. My girl wasn't being polite. She did find the best doctor to treat Miss Xiao. "
Principal Chen: "…"
General Xiao was very embarrassed and quickly called out, "Everyone, sit down. What would you like to drink?"
Huo Guanchen sat on the sofa with a smile on his face and said to General Xiao, "Old Xiao, I think Xiao Ye is recovering well. When she's had enough rest, do you want to transfer her to our political department to do a clerical job? "
Xiao Ye's mother, Principal Chen, was extremely surprised. She asked excitedly, "General Huo, are you serious?! Can you really let our Xiao Ye go to the political department to do a clerical job?! "
The political department of the military headquarters wasn't an ordinary civilian organization. Even those who had the connections and ability had to do everything they could to get in. Others couldn't even think about it.
"Of course it's true. Xiao Ye is also someone who has made a first-class merit. It's completely in line with the regulations to do a clerical job in the political department. "
Huo Guanchen smiled and pointed at Huo Shaoheng. "Shaoheng is also very concerned about Xiao Ye. He told me more than once."
Actually, Huo Shaoheng hadn't told him once.
However, on an occasion like this, in the face of Xiao Ye's parents' ardent attention and the smile that suddenly lit up on Xiao Ye's dispirited face, Huo Shaoheng couldn't even say a word of denial.
Gu Nianzhi didn't think anything else. When she heard that Xiao Ye was going to the political department, she was also happy for her. She sat on the stool next to her wheelchair and said carefully, "Sister Xiao Ye, I really will find you the best doctor."
Principal Chen sat on the other side of Xiao Ye's wheelchair. She touched Xiao Ye's short hair and said politely with a smile, "Miss Gu, thank you for your trouble. As long as Xiao Ye doesn't go on field missions anymore, she doesn't need any other doctors. Her cousin is Chen Lie. She'll be fine with her cousin watching over her. "
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
"But the doctor I found is really good. Sister Xiao Ye, do you really not want to try?" Gu Nianzhi still refused to give up. She really wanted Lu Jin to take a look at Xiao Ye's injury.
It had already been a year, and she didn't know if she could recover.
Gu Nianzhi wasn't sure either.
Xiao Ye's father and mother didn't reply. They just smiled and changed the topic.
Xiao Ye, on the other hand, felt bad. She stretched out her hand with difficulty and touched Gu Nianzhi's arm. She whispered, "Nianzhi, don't take it to heart. I appreciate your kindness. After a year or two of rehabilitation, I should be able to walk. "
Gu Nianzhi had seen how good Xiao Ye's skills were, but now she was like this. Gu Nianzhi felt extremely guilty. She quickly shook her head and said, "It's fine, it's fine. I won't be angry no matter what Uncle and Auntie say. I just want you to recover faster."
"I'll work hard." Xiao Ye smiled at her and changed the topic. "… Do you want some candy? This is chocolate brought back from abroad. It's said that it was packaged directly from the production line of the chocolate factory. "
Gu Nianzhi refused to give up and insisted, "Sister Xiao Ye, I know that brother Chen's medical skills are indeed very good, but there are always people better than you. I really found you a doctor who's better than brother Chen!"
"A doctor who's better than Chen Lie?!" Xiao Ye said in surprise. Her voice was a little louder. Her mother, Headmaster Chen, heard her and turned to look at her. "A doctor who's better than Chen Lie? Where is he? "
"Here." Lu Jin pointed to himself. "I'm a doctor who's better than Chen Lie."
"You –?!" Headmaster Chen's face darkened again. "Are you two here to make fun of us? My Xiao Ye became a cripple because of your daughter. What else do you have to be dissatisfied with? "
Lu Jin said very seriously, "I'm not dissatisfied. I'm very grateful to your daughter, that's why I offered to examine her again. If she hadn't saved my daughter, based on your attitude, your daughter would have been paralyzed in bed for the rest of her life. Even if you knelt on the ground and begged me, I wouldn't have looked at you. I wouldn't have even rolled my eyes. "
Headmaster Chen stood up abruptly and pointed at the door. "Leave! Leave right now! Even if my daughter is paralyzed in bed … "
"Old Chen!" General Xiao roared and stopped Headmaster Chen. "What's wrong with you today?! She came here to see her daughter out of goodwill. Is it fun for you to speak so harshly here?! "
"Did I want to do this?! My daughter lost her ability to move at a young age because of her, but she didn't care and said it was a 'false alarm'?! Old Xiao, can you really bear with it?! "
Headmaster Chen finally exploded, and his eyes instantly turned red.
"She's a soldier! That's her mission! " General Xiao was so angry that his face turned red. "In order to protect the lives and property of the people, even if she sacrificed her life, it would still be the glory of our family!"
Headmaster Chen was speechless by General Xiao's logic. After a long while, he choked and gritted his teeth. "Yes, that's her mission. But if her mission is just a 'false alarm' in the eyes of others, I'd rather not have this glory!"
Gu Nianzhi's rosy face gradually turned pale.
Lu Jin's heart ached terribly. He wished he could tell Gu Nianzhi the truth.
But he also knew the severity of the matter. There were some things that he couldn't say even if he was beaten to death.
Huo Shaoheng looked at Xiao Ye, then at Gu Nianzhi, and then at the Xiao couple who had already started arguing. He stood up from the sofa and reached out his hand to Gu Nianzhi. "Nianzhi, come here."
Gu Nianzhi walked over silently.
Huo Shaoheng held her hand and pulled it down slightly.
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but bow to Xiao Ye along with Huo Shaoheng.
Xiao Ye's face also turned pale.
Huo Shaoheng raised his head and said calmly, "Xiao Ye, this bow is Nianzhi and I thanking you for saving her life. Nianzhi did find the best doctor to examine your injury. Yes, her biological father, Professor Lu Jin, is the best doctor. He's even better than Chen Lie. If you don't believe me, you can ask Chen Lie yourself. "
He nodded at General Xiao and Headmaster Chen, who were stunned. "Sorry to disturb you. Headmaster Chen, I can understand that as a mother, you feel sorry for your daughter. But as a soldier, I'm very disappointed in you. Goodbye. "
He took Gu Nianzhi's hand and turned to leave.
Lu Jin was finally happy. He turned around and sneered at the Xiao couple. "You guys keep arguing. I've just changed my mind. I'll reconsider whether to treat your daughter. "
He turned to Xiao Ye and saw that she was staring unblinkingly in the direction Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi had disappeared in. Lu Jin felt a little uncomfortable and looked very unhappy.
Huo Guanchen finally stood up and said with a smile, "Old Xiao, don't be angry. I understand how you feel. Actually, I've always thought highly of Xiao Ye. I used to think that she and Shaoheng would be a couple …"
Lu Jin hadn't even reached the door when Huo Guanchen said such words in front of him. He couldn't help but be furious.
