Song Jinning looked over in surprise, but before she could open her mouth, Gu Nianzhi had already burst out laughing. She clicked her tongue and said, "Ms. Yuan, what do you do for a living? Aren't you too imaginative? I'm the one who invited Ms. Song to dinner. Ms. Song dressed up to see me. What does that have to do with you? "
She looked Yuan Jianan up and down. "You're not that shameless. How did you become the host?"
Yuan Jianan didn't expect Gu Nianzhi to be so rude to him. He couldn't help looking at Huo Guanchen.
Although she didn't speak, her eyes seemed to speak. It was as if she was waiting to see how Huo Guanchen would speak up for her.
Huo Guanchen looked down at the exquisite menu in his hand. He had no intention of looking at her at all.
Yuan Jianan looked away and saw Gu Nianzhi smiling disdainfully as if she was looking down on her.
Yuan Jianan frowned slightly and said unhappily, "I saw Ms. Song in the laboratory at the Institute of High Energy Physics last time. Ms. Song was very plain at that time. It was very different from how she dressed today, so I thought …"
Her eyes wandered between Huo Guanchen and Song Jinning, and she gradually relaxed her brows. She smiled and said, "Alright, I was overthinking things. I thought Guanchen and Ms. Song used to be husband and wife, and they loved each other so much. Even if they're divorced now, they could still be friends …"
Gu Nianzhi put a hand on Song Jinning's shoulder and said disdainfully, "Ms. Yuan, you're really overthinking it. Even if Ms. Song is unkempt, she's still much more beautiful than you. There's no need to belittle Ms. Song intentionally or unintentionally. Really, I wouldn't say anything if you chose to belittle her elsewhere. But belittling Ms. Song's beauty only shows that you're blind. "
Song Jinning was a little angry at first, but Gu Nianzhi's barrage of attacks left Yuan Jianan flabbergasted. Her anger immediately dissipated.
Patting the back of Gu Nianzhi's hand, Song Jinning deliberately said, "Nianzhi, what are you saying? Ms. Yuan is a guest. Don't be rude. "
"Okay, Ms. Song." Gu Nianzhi nodded with a smile. "I'll listen to you. You're the most beautiful, so whatever you say is right!"
When Gu Nianzhi said this, she deliberately tilted her head slightly, raised it at a 45-degree angle, and aimed her chin at Yuan Jianan.
Although Huo Shaoheng had criticized her for using her chin to look at people, he felt that it was appropriate in this situation, so he didn't say anything to stop her.
Zhang Baochen felt that Gu Nianzhi had gone overboard, but seeing that Huo Guanchen wasn't saying anything, it wasn't appropriate for him to speak up for Yuan Jianan. He had no choice but to call the waiter over to take their order in an attempt to gloss over the matter.
Grandfather Huo had always disliked Gu Nianzhi. He was even more displeased to see her arrogant and domineering manner.
However, it wasn't easy for him to sit down and eat with Huo Shaoheng, so he didn't want to leave immediately. He coughed and said, "Shaoheng, control your wife. There are guests here. How can she be so presumptuous?"
Gu Nianzhi became even more spoiled and said unwillingly, "Grandfather Huo, why are you always siding with outsiders? I'm the fiancée of your grandson. Who's that woman? You're blaming me for her? "
"Besides, this meal is on me. Why can she, a 'guest' from the Four Regions, be presumptuous, but I can't?"
When Yuan Jianan saw that Gu Nianzhi didn't take her seriously, she wasn't angry at all. Instead, she was completely relieved.
She smiled warmly and said eagerly, "I appreciate Grandfather Huo's kindness, but Miss Gu is straightforward and young. I don't blame her, and I quite like her personality …"
"Hey, don't try to get close to me!" Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes and muttered quietly, "Who knows how many women Uncle has dated? Don't think that you'll have a meteoric rise just because you're connected to Uncle. There are so many poor relatives out there. When will it be your turn …"
She spoke very softly, but she was eloquent and articulate, so even though she was muttering softly, the people in the private room could still hear her clearly.
Huo Guanchen raised his head and frowned. He didn't directly mention Gu Nianzhi. Instead, he said to Huo Shaoheng, "Shaoheng, aren't you going to do anything?"
Huo Shaoheng crossed his arms and said nonchalantly, "Grandfather Huo said that the men of the Huo family are all henpecked. Do you think I dare to do anything?"
Gu Nianzhi glanced at Huo Shaoheng and snorted. "… It's good that you know!"
There was no need to mention how cute and arrogant that little face of hers was.
Huo Shaoheng's fingers moved. He really wanted to pull her into his arms and "ravage" her.
However, he couldn't do anything. He still had a "doting" expression on his face. Lu Yuan frowned secretly when he saw it.
His gaze swept across the faces of everyone in the private room. He smiled and said, "Nianzhi is young and has been spoiled by us. Please forgive her, everyone."
The corners of Zhang Baochen's mouth twitched as he said, "She's about to get married, and she's still young. Don't tell me you guys still treat her like a child?"
"I'm still a baby. Do you think I'm a child?" Gu Nianzhi said cutely. She was so cute that no one could scold her.
"Don't pretend to be young." Grandfather Huo's expression became even uglier. "You don't even have basic manners. How did you become the chief legal adviser of the Senate?"
"Because I'm capable." Gu Nianzhi boasted shamelessly. "Even if I'm rude, I'm professional!"
"You really know how to flatter yourself!" Zhang Baochen couldn't take it anymore. He turned to ask, "Waiter, when can we serve the dishes?"
Gu Nianzhi's face darkened. "Mr. Zhang, you have the same problem as Ms. Yuan. You like to be the host so much. Can you two treat the guests tonight?"
"Sure, why not?" Yuan Jianan couldn't be happier. She quickly said, "I'll treat everyone tonight. Everyone is a busy person. It's my honor to have the opportunity to treat me today."
Gu Nianzhi snorted and spread her hands. "But I've already ordered the dishes. Is Ms. Yuan really going to turn the tables and pay for tonight's dishes?"
"It doesn't matter as long as everyone is happy." Yuan Jianan smiled and gently pushed Huo Guanchen. "Guanchen, what do you think?"
Huo Guanchen finally said, "Let's treat together."
"Ok, I'll listen to you." Yuan Jianan's voice became even more gentle.
As they spoke, the doors to the private room began to open, and the waiters began to serve the dishes.
Gu Nianzhi was practically sitting in Huo Shaoheng's arms. With his strong arms around her, no one could get close to her.
She danced around in front of Huo Shaoheng and was so happy that she didn't know what to say. When she raised her hand, the glass of grape juice that the waiter had just poured for her was knocked over, and the dark red grape juice dripped onto her light pink silk dress, staining it ugly.
Gu Nianzhi frowned and stood up. "I'll go clean up."
Song Jinning also stood up. "Nianzhi, I'll go with you."
"No need, Ms. Song. I'll go to the bathroom and wipe myself."
Gu Nianzhi walked out of the wide-open private room door. She kept her head down as she wiped her dress wet from the grape juice with a tissue. She didn't see a handsome, tall, and top-notch Eastern European guy walking from the end of the corridor.
Behind him was an even taller and burlier man wearing sunglasses like a bear. He looked like a bodyguard and constantly looked around vigilantly.
Gu Nianzhi walked quickly and almost bumped into the handsome Eastern European guy.
"Miss, you have to watch where you're going." The handsome Eastern European guy spoke in Russian.
Gu Nianzhi also replied in Russian, "Sorry, my dress is dirty."
