Huo Shaoheng looked up to see that it was his childhood friend, Xue Jingjiang. He hadn't seen him since joining the army, and was surprised to see him here.
Xue Jingjiang had large eyes and bushy eyebrows. He was tall and only a little shorter than Huo Shaoheng. Beside him stood a tall woman with an internet celebrity face.
He pounced on Huo Shaoheng and patted his shoulder vigorously. He sighed and lamented, "Sigh, it's been so many years, why haven't you gone home? You're a soldier, not an exile! "
Huo Shaoheng smiled and looked Xue Jingjiang up and down. "I haven't seen you in so many years, Boots. You're still as good as ever."
Because Xue Jingjiang's surname was Xue, his childhood friends all called him Boots.
"I haven't heard anyone call me Boots in so many years." Xue Jingjiang was almost moved to tears. "Huo Shao, how long will you be back this time? I heard you've become a Major General at such a young age. That's amazing! "
"You flatter me." Huo Shaoheng shook hands with him. "What a coincidence that I ran into you as soon as I got back."
Xue Jingjiang quickly said, "A chance encounter is better than an invitation. I'll treat you guys to a gathering at my Jiulou Feng Yue. You must come, Huo Shao. "
Huo Shaoheng instinctively glanced at Gu Nianzhi, who was standing silently beside him.
Gu Nianzhi immediately put on a pleading expression, hoping he wouldn't forget her earlier request.
Xue Jingjiang finally noticed Gu Nianzhi, who was standing beside Huo Shaoheng. At first glance, the little girl was like the first handful of snow in early winter: afraid to melt in one's hand, but afraid to be blown away by the wind. She had a face as exquisite as a painting, and a pair of inky black eyes that were so lively they seemed almost incorporeal.
He froze, then chuckled and asked Huo Shaoheng, "Who's this, Huo Shao? Aren't you going to introduce her? "
Huo Shaoheng tilted his head to look at Gu Nianzhi and said casually, "Oh, she's the child of our family. Her surname is Gu, so you can call her Little Gu." As he spoke, he reached out with one hand to take the Chanel bags from her and held Gu Nianzhi's hand with the other.
Gu Nianzhi was on the verge of breaking down when she saw Xue Jingjiang's "not calling him uncle, but calling him uncle" attitude. She was crying internally, but had to force a smile on her face. She waved at Xue Jingjiang. "Hello, Brother Boots."
Xue Jingjiang was delighted to hear her soft voice. "Hello, Little Gu. Go to Big Brother Xue's place later. Tell your Big Brother Xue what you want to play or eat. I'll definitely satisfy you! " Xue Jingjiang turned to Huo Shaoheng. "Jiuloufengyue is on the ninth floor here. You just need to go up one floor. I'll call Cui Baiwen, Hong Ziqi, and Bai Tianqun to invite them over for dinner. "
Huo Shaoheng wasn't in a hurry to go home. He nodded and said, "We're all family, so we should get together."
As soon as Huo Shaoheng said this, Xue Jingjiang immediately understood. He quickly said to the popular girl beside him, "I have something to do here. You can go now. I'll have tea with you some other time."
The girl had been looking at Huo Shaoheng with sparkling eyes, but when Xue Jingjiang told her to leave, her face immediately darkened. She shouted angrily, "Xue! Don't burn the bridge after crossing it! "
Xue Jingjiang couldn't argue with her in front of Huo Shaoheng, so he immediately glared at her. She didn't dare make a scene again. She pouted and threw her Louis Vuitton bag on her back before storming off.
Xue Jingjiang finally dialed the numbers of his childhood friends and notified them one by one. "Hello! Brothers, come quickly! Huo Shao's back! We'll meet at my Jiuloufengyue. Hurry over! Remember to bring family! It has to be a proper family! "He turned his back to Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi when he said the last sentence.
Gu Nianzhi immediately understood what Xue Jingjiang was implying. She couldn't help but smile.
Huo Shaoheng remained calm and collected, as if he hadn't heard Xue Jingjiang's words. He stood ramrod straight in front of the elevator door, his gaze lightly landing on Gu Nianzhi's curled red lips. He paused for a moment.
The commotion had alerted many passersby.
Mei Xiawen and Jiang Hongcha had just walked out of the Louis Vuitton store nearby, carrying a paper bag. They heard the commotion and looked up.
Mei Xiawen saw Gu Nianzhi immediately.
She was standing next to an imposing man, like a helpless little bird. There was no trace of makeup on her snow-white face, but her features were extraordinarily beautiful.
Jiang Hongcha saw Huo Shaoheng first. His tall and straight figure and his breathtakingly handsome face made it hard for others not to notice him.
Jiang Hongcha stared at Huo Shaoheng for a moment before she saw Gu Nianzhi standing next to him from the corner of her eye.
Her eyes were immediately drawn to Gu Nianzhi.
Jiang Hongcha asked Mei Xiawen, "Didn't you say that Gu Nianzhi was an orphan from an ordinary family?"
"Yes, she's an orphan …" Mei Xiawen said absentmindedly, his eyes fixed on Gu Nianzhi.
"But the Burberry coat she's wearing, the Hermès scarf around her neck, the Mulberry backpack on her back, and the Salvatore-Ferragamo knee-high boots on her feet — she's wearing everything, at least a hundred thousand dollars," Jiang Hongcha said faintly. She pursed her lips and said, "Are you sure she's an orphan with no family background?"
Mei Xiawen frowned, "Nianzhi has never dressed like this in school …"
If she had dressed like this before, there was no way he would be mistaken. He suddenly remembered Gu Nianzhi's apartment in C City's Fengya Precinct, and felt that something was amiss.
Jiang Hongcha believed Mei Xiawen and looked at Gu Nianzhi disdainfully, "If you're not mistaken, then she must have a sugar daddy. Look, I've seen that woman who was arguing just now. She's an internet celebrity model who specializes in selling herself. She can go for more than ten thousand just to have a meal with someone … "
Mei Xiawen was shocked, "You're saying that Nianzhi earns money like this?"
"She has good taste, though. The man holding her hand next to her is really imposing. This sugar daddy isn't just rich, he's also good-looking. He must be a high-quality sugar daddy. Did she hook up with him in America? " Jiang Hongcha gently pushed Mei Xiawen's shoulder, "Tell me, does Professor He know what his favorite student is up to?"
Jiang Hongcha took out her phone and was about to take a photo of the two when a man walked over and said sternly, "You can't take photos here. Please delete the photos you've already taken."
Jiang Hongcha was shocked. When the man walked away, she looked again and saw that the people at the elevator had already entered it.
"Let's go, let's go." Mei Xiawen glanced at the elevator, then pulled Jiang Hongcha away.
…
Gu Nianzhi followed Huo Shaoheng and Xue Jingjiang to the ninth floor of Scion Plaza. After a few steps, they arrived in front of an antique clubhouse.
There was a black plaque on the door that was gilded with gold. On it were four large words written in flamboyant calligraphy: "Jiu Lou Feng Yue".
So that's what it was called.
Gu Nianzhi looked at it curiously, then followed Huo Shaoheng inside.
Xue Jingjiang led the way.
He was the owner, so of course the lights were green the entire way. They soon arrived at the most exclusive private room in the Jiu Lou Feng Yue clubhouse.
There was an entire wall of glass windows overlooking the bustling streets.
The private room was beautifully arranged with a Luohan bed, a square table, a round rosewood table inlaid with mother-of-pearl inlaid, and a mahogany high-back armchair. There was also a separate karaoke room separated by a screen.
"Sit, sit, I'll ask them to serve some local snacks first." Xue Jingjiang was personally taking care of everything.
Huo Shaoheng pulled out a high-back armchair for Gu Nianzhi and asked her to sit down.
He sat on the chair next to her and crossed his legs. After pouring her a cup of tea, he draped an arm over the back of the chair behind Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi instantly sat up straight, not daring to lean back.
It felt like she was sitting in his arms. His warm breath was so close, and his arm was right behind her. She really, really wanted to lean against him …
