Speaking of when Huo Shaoheng would return, Chen Lie really didn't know. Of course, even if he knew, he couldn't say it.
At this time, he could only vaguely change the topic. "I'll come back when it's time … But you and your sister have to be careful. I see that she's doing a good job on the surface. If I wasn't familiar with you, I would have thought that you're ungrateful."
"How am I ungrateful? Brother Chen, you know I haven't recovered my memory, so I don't remember them at all. You guys said she was my sister, and Gu Xiangwen was my father, so I listened. I believed you and Huo Shao, and I also thought about treating her as my real sister. In the beginning, I listened to everything she said that made sense. But she keeps talking about money, like she's never seen money in her life. She's nothing like the heiress of the Gu family, who's as rich as a nation … "Gu Nianzhi pouted and complained to Chen Lie.
She only said these things in front of Chen Lie and Huo Shaoheng. She wouldn't mention it in front of anyone else.
Chen Lie secretly sighed in relief when he saw that Gu Nianzhi's thoughts had shifted away from Huo Shaoheng. However, when he heard Gu Nianzhi say that Gu Yanran was always talking about money, he suddenly understood Miss Gu's intentions.
Gu Nianzhi and Gu Xiangwen's DNA didn't match, so they weren't related by blood. Gu Nianzhi and the military didn't know this. Other than He Zhichu and Gu Yanran, only Huo Shaoheng and Chen Lie knew.
He Zhichu hadn't mentioned this for so long, so he probably wouldn't tell anyone.
But Gu Yanran didn't mention a word either, so Chen Lie couldn't help but feel strange.
He originally thought that Gu Yanran and Gu Nianzhi were close sisters and wouldn't mention such hurtful topics.
But hearing Gu Nianzhi say that Gu Yanran seemed to be guarding against her at all times. Connecting this to their situation, Chen Lie seemed to understand why Gu Yanran would do this.
She didn't mention that Gu Nianzhi and Gu Xiangwen weren't related by blood, probably because Gu Nianzhi was Huo Shaoheng's girlfriend. In order to cozy up to Huo Shaoheng, Gu Yanran definitely wouldn't tell anyone that Gu Nianzhi wasn't related by blood.
Therefore, as long as Gu Nianzhi was with Huo Shaoheng, Chen Lie felt that there was nothing to worry about. Gu Yanran couldn't wait to flatter Gu Nianzhi, so why would she cut off her own path of retreat?
He remembered that when Gu Yanran wanted to find a backer in the Hua Xia Empire, she had her eyes on Huo Shaoheng …
Chen Lie grinned and said to Gu Nianzhi, "Alright, you can go back now. There are special nurses taking care of things here. You won't be able to help much even if you stay here."
Gu Nianzhi stood up and glanced at Gu Xiangwen on the bed again.
He was thin and haggard. It was said that he used to be very handsome and elegant. After seven years in a vegetative state, even a man made of iron would not be able to endure it.
This was his own father, and he was so sick …
She lowered her voice and asked Chen Lie, "Brother Chen, is there really no other way? Why didn't they perform a craniotomy? I heard from my sister that father became like this because of the plane crash. "
"I was also thinking about this, but your sister never had the time, so there was nothing I could do." Chen Lie's eyes lit up and thought that this was how a daughter should behave. On the other hand, Gu Yanran was much more perfunctory. He didn't know if it was because she didn't believe in his medical skills or because she didn't want him to treat her, but she had asked her to talk about the plane crash for a long time.
It wasn't easy for General Ji to come today. Gu Yanran finally agreed readily in front of General Ji.
Chen Lie was also a shrewd person, so he already had some complaints about Gu Yanran.
Gu Nianzhi's eyes narrowed as she understood what Chen Lie was implying. She turned around and glanced at the unconscious Gu Xiangwen. "Why don't I try?"
"You?"
"Yeah, I'll ask my sister about the plane crash." As Gu Xiangwen's daughter, she had the right to know the truth.
"… Oh, that's fine too. You ask her first. I want to know under what circumstances she found Gu Xiangwen and what injuries he had at the time. It would be great if we could find the medical records from back then. "Chen Lie quickly took out a pen and paper to write down a few necessary questions for Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi skimmed through it and quickly memorized it. She returned the note to Chen Lie. "Ok, no problem. I'll ask today."
After leaving Chen Lie's place, Gu Nianzhi returned to the apartment that she hadn't been back to for over a month.
Ever since Gu Nianzhi found out that Gu Yanran had moved upstairs, she didn't ask the hourly cleaner to clean.
Although it had been a month without anyone, there was still some dust in the house.
When Gu Nianzhi was in a bad mood, she liked to do housework to distract herself.
She put on long plastic gloves, carried a bucket of water and a rag, and began cleaning.
She wiped the doors and windows until they were shiny, changed the bed sheets, and stuffed them into the washing machine. She also wiped the blinds carefully with a rag. After working all afternoon and sweating profusely, she felt much better.
Opening the fridge, she saw that there wasn't even a bottle of water. Hungry and thirsty, she took her wallet, keys, and phone and put them in her bucket bag. Then, she went downstairs to the large warehouse supermarket nearby to buy something.
She had a car there, so she took the elevator to the underground parking lot to get the flashy bright red sports car that Huo Shaoheng had given her. She drove in the direction of the supermarket.
It wasn't the weekend, so there weren't many people in the supermarket. Gu Nianzhi quickly found the food, water, juice, and daily necessities she wanted to buy and filled the cart.
After paying, she pushed the cart to her car and put the things in the trunk. Just as she closed the trunk, she saw a black Bentley RV drive over and stop not far from her.
Gu Nianzhi didn't care and walked to the driver's side of the car. She reached out to open the door and was about to get in when she suddenly heard Gu Yanran's voice from behind.
"Nianzhi? Is that you? "
Gu Nianzhi turned around in surprise to see Gu Yanran wearing a pair of large sunglasses and getting out of the Bentley. Ye Xuan was holding the door for her like a chauffeur.
Gu Nianzhi wasn't in a hurry to get into the car. She twirled the car keys in her hand and leaned against the car door to wait for Gu Yanran.
"Nianzhi, is that really you?" Gu Yanran's eyes swept over the car that Gu Nianzhi was leaning against and froze.
If she wasn't mistaken, this car was custom-made by a Ferrari and had Gu Nianzhi's name on it …
This kind of car couldn't be bought with money alone.
Other than the buyer's name, there was also the designer's signature on the car. No wonder the design attracted her attention so quickly.
Gu Yanran first saw the car, then saw that the person leaning against the car was actually Gu Nianzhi.
She looked at Gu Nianzhi with a complicated expression and asked after a while, "This car is yours?"
"Yeah." Gu Nianzhi twirled the keys on her finger. "This car has my name on it, so of course it's mine."
"Huo Shao bought this car for you, right?" Gu Yanran said without hesitation. "You're returning it to him. You're not related to him, so you're asking for such a generous gift. The Gu family is embarrassed."
Gu Nianzhi raised a brow. "But this car has my name engraved on it, and I'm the owner. Why should I return it?"
Gu Yanran walked to her and reached out to hold Gu Nianzhi's hand. Her eyes were full of pity. "Nianzhi, if you want a car, Big Sister will buy it for you. You're not even married to Huo Shao yet, so how can you feel bad about asking for such an expensive car? Also, Huo Shao is a military personnel. Everyone knows how much money he can earn. Suddenly having such a luxury car far surpasses his income. Aren't you worried that he'll be investigated by the military disciplinary committee? "
"Oh? Big Sister, you know about the military disciplinary committee? I didn't even know about it … "Gu Nianzhi smiled meaningfully." Since Big Sister says I shouldn't ask for someone else's car for free, and you're going to help me buy a car, okay? Big Sister, give me the money for this car, and I'll return it to Huo Shao, okay? "
Ye Xuan couldn't take it anymore and stopped Gu Nianzhi. "That's enough! This kind of custom-made luxury car is so expensive, and you have the nerve to ask for it? Yanran doesn't mind it, but that doesn't mean you can take whatever you want! "
"Oh? We sisters are talking. What does it have to do with you? " If Gu Nianzhi wanted to be crafty, even Yin Shixiong was no match for her, let alone Ye Xuan, who wasn't good with words.
She turned her head and raised her chin to study Ye Xuan. Her dark eyes seemed to speak as she turned to Gu Yanran. Her face was already smiling brightly. "Big Sister, don't you agree? I shouldn't use other people's money, but I can use the Gu family's money openly, right? "
Gu Nianzhi grabbed Gu Yanran's arm and shook it like a lively and cute little sister acting coquettishly to her older sister. "Big Sister, then just buy this car for me! I really like this car! "
"Gu Nianzhi, how can you be so shameless?!" Ye Xuan pulled her away. "Do you think your sister is an ATM? You're asking for so much money to buy a car. Aren't you afraid of biting your tongue? "
"My tongue is fine. Why would it bite?" Gu Nianzhi stuck out her pink tongue at Ye Xuan and made a face. She pulled her arm out of Ye Xuan's grasp. "Also, we haven't seen each other for so many years. What's wrong with Big Sister buying me a car? No matter how expensive it is, it's not as valuable as our sisterhood, right? "
Gu Nianzhi's words were used in a different way. Gu Yanran knew there was something wrong with her words, but she couldn't refute them.
She smiled bitterly and poked Gu Nianzhi's forehead. "You only know how to be naughty. Ok, go back first. "She then asked Gu Nianzhi," What are you doing here? "
"I'm here for whatever you're doing here." Gu Nianzhi's eyebrows curved. "This is a supermarket. What can I do here? Be a thief? "
"Nonsense again." Gu Yanran's tone was full of affection. "Ok, since you're back today, go eat at Big Sister's." She then asked casually, "Where's Huo Shao? Will he be eating with you today? "
Of course, Gu Nianzhi couldn't say that Huo Shaoheng was on a mission. She chuckled and purposely didn't answer Gu Yanran's question. She pursued the previous topic. "Big Sister, I'll take your silence as a yes. I'm going to tell Huo Shao that my sister wants to buy this car for me. Oh my god! My Huo Shao is rich! He's rich! "
