Gu Nianzhi instantly remembered Huo Shaoheng saying she didn't have the maturity of an adult …
Gu Nianzhi's eyes dimmed as she reminded herself that her studies were the most important thing right now. She couldn't afford to be distracted.
After making up her mind, Gu Nianzhi turned to talk to He Zhichu about her graduation thesis.
The two of them chatted as they walked. Soon, they arrived at a large warehouse supermarket outside the school.
Gu Nianzhi bought a set of health supplements for middle-aged and elderly people and a set of Lancome skincare products. She had someone wrap them up and planned to give them to Ma Qiqi's parents as gifts.
He Zhichu helped her carry the health supplements while Gu Nianzhi hugged the Lancome gift box. They chatted and laughed as they walked back to school.
When the two of them returned to Gu Nianzhi's dorm, Ma Qiqi greeted them with a smile. "I called my parents, and they're very welcoming of Professor He. He also said, 'Why don't we go there earlier? We can go to my house to play. My house is in the suburbs, and it's very big. It even has a backyard.'
Gu Nianzhi looked at He Zhichu and smiled. "Professor He, are you free? If you don't have time now, Qiqi and I will be leaving first. "
He Zhichu nodded slightly. "I have time. Let's go together."
"That's great! Professor He, are you driving? Let's have a ride! " Ma Qiqi quickly returned to her room to grab her backpack and sent her address to He Zhichu's phone.
Gu Nianzhi also looked at He Zhichu and said, "Thank you, Professor He."
"Don't mention it." He Zhichu's shimmering sultry eyes flashed. "I'll go get the car. You guys wait. I'll call you when we get there."
…
He Zhichu quickly drove his Bentley to Gu Nianzhi's dorm. Gu Nianzhi and Ma Qiqi were already waiting at the door.
The two of them chatted happily as they got into He Zhichu's car.
He Zhichu sat alone in the driver's seat in the front while Gu Nianzhi and Ma Qiqi sat in the back.
Ma Qiqi looked around excitedly and asked He Zhichu, "Professor He, don't you have a really cool Maserati?"
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
He Zhichu didn't mind and replied dryly, "Yes, but that's a sports car. It can only seat two people."
There were three of them now. Of course, this spacious Bentley was more suitable.
Gu Nianzhi noticed that the Bentley was also silver in color. Of course, it wasn't an SUV.
He Zhichu entered Ma Qiqi's address into the car's GPS, turned on the navigation, and drove out of the school.
…
At that moment, a plane from France slowly landed in Terminal T3 of the Huaxia Imperial Capital International Airport.
In the first-class cabin of the plane, Huo Jialan, dressed in the latest Chanel autumn travel suit, approached Huo Xuenong and whispered, "Grandfather, we've arrived."
Huo Xuenong opened his eyes. "We're here? So fast? I only slept once. "
"Yes, just arrived. This plane is not bad. It's very stable." As Huo Jialan spoke, she put on her Chanel double C bag and grabbed Huo Xuenong's cane. "You can use this."
Huo Xuenong nodded. Through the porthole of the plane, he saw the familiar late autumn scenery of the imperial capital outside the window. His expression was a little unpleasant.
A few months ago, he was stripped of his rank of General and forced to retire because of what happened to the head nurse.
For a moment, he felt ashamed and hurried abroad to avoid the limelight.
He hadn't had a good time in the past few months abroad.
The Xie's had a lot of complaints about him because of his wife, Xie Ziyan.
However, they were all civilized people and wouldn't slight him just because of the discord between him and his deceased wife.
Of course, they didn't treat him very well either.
Huo Xuenong had been a senior official for most of his life. One could imagine how depressed he was when he suddenly fell from the highest position.
In the past few months, his hair had gone from gray to completely white. He looked more than ten years older.
"Grandfather, let's get off the plane." Huo Jialan considerately held Huo Xuenong's arm and walked out of the cabin with him.
However, when he thought about the Prime Minister's inauguration that night, Huo Xuenong felt that he had regained some of his dignity.
After all, the Prime Minister's wife had personally invited him. He felt that he would be regaining some of the dignity he had lost.
The new Prime Minister's wife, Cai Songyin, was indeed a smooth talker and was very good at reading people's expressions. She flattered both Huo Guanchen and Huo Xuenong very well.
When Huo Xuenong received Cai Songyin's call from the Hua Xia Empire, along with the express delivery invitation and plane ticket, he instantly straightened his back from bending down in the Xie's manor in France.
Huo Jialan was also secretly happy.
She had lived in the Xie's manor in France for a few months and had truly witnessed what it meant to be an aristocratic family.
The Xie's wealth was currently unmatched by any other family in the Hua Xia Empire.
It was a pity that such a family had migrated abroad a long time ago.
However, although Liang Yuan was nice, it wasn't a place to stay for long. Huo Jialan had wanted to return to the Hua Xia Empire a long time ago, but just like Huo Xuenong, her reputation was almost ruined because of her mother's lawsuit. She could barely survive in the Huo family, so she followed Huo Xuenong abroad to avoid the limelight.
She was able to come back this time because Cai Songyin had promised to help Huo Jialan find a creative director position in the media she was familiar with.
Therefore, Huo Jialan often spoke well of the Tan's in front of Huo Xuenong and helped Cai Songyin.
The grandmother and granddaughter got off the plane and went through customs before going to collect their luggage.
They had practically brought nothing when they left the country, but when they returned, they had four large suitcases full of things. Most of it was luxury goods that Huo Jialan had bought in France, and a small portion was Huo Xuenong's daily necessities.
The two of them stood in the airport lobby where luggage was collected and looked around for a long time, but didn't see Huo Shaoheng.
"Grandfather, didn't Eldest Cousin say he was coming to pick us up?" Huo Jialan was especially nervous and kept asking if Huo Shaoheng was coming to pick them up.
Huo Xuenong was getting impatient and waved his hand. "Your Second Uncle said he was coming to pick us up. Would he dare to disobey?"
Huo Jialan smiled sheepishly and held Huo Xuenong's arm to look around. After waiting for a long time, Huo Shaoheng still wasn't there.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people collecting luggage, Huo Jialan could only say to Huo Xuenong, "Grandfather, wait here. I'll go get the luggage."
Huo Xuenong nodded. "Hurry up. I'll call your Second Uncle."
Huo Xuenong dialed Huo Guanchen's number and said sternly, "Guanchen, did you tell Shaoheng?"
"Dad, you're back?!" Huo Guanchen was pleasantly surprised. "Have you arrived at the airport?"
"Yes, it's been a while since I got off the plane." Huo Xuenong looked at his watch. "It's already two o 'clock. Why haven't I seen Shaoheng yet?"
Huo Guanchen's heart skipped a beat. He remembered what Huo Shaoheng had said and quickly said, "Wait, I'll ask Shaoheng."
He dialed Huo Shaoheng's number again, but just like last time, his call went straight to voicemail.
Huo Guanchen had no choice but to say to the voicemail, "Shaoheng, your grandfather has already arrived at the airport. Why haven't you picked him up yet?"
Huo Shaoheng had already sent his head orderly, Fan Jian, to pick up grandfather Huo.
In the past, when Fan Jian went to the airport to pick people up, he would always wait outside the T3 terminal.
However, Huo Xuenong was always used to people picking him up from the airport.
Because of this, he had been delayed for a long time.
When Huo Xuenong and Huo Jialan pushed four suitcases out of the terminal gate, Fan Jian, who had been waiting for a long time, finally saw them and quickly waved at them. "This way! This way! "
Huo Jialan's eyes were sharp. She turned around and saw Huo Shaoheng's driver, Fan Jian. She immediately smiled like a flower and said to Huo Xuenong, "Grandfather, isn't that cousin's car? Let's go. "
"Yes, don't run around. Follow me." Huo Xuenong had now become a very caring elder and spoke to Huo Jialan sternly.
Huo Jialan obediently moved to the side and waited for Huo Xuenong to get into the car first before she got in.
Fan Jian's driving skills were very good and he was also very eloquent.
He explained to grandfather Huo, "… Huo Shao suddenly had a fever last night. The fever didn't subside this morning, so he was in a hurry to pick you up. The doctor strongly urged him to rest at home, so he didn't come. However, he specifically told me to pick you up."
"Sick? What kind of illness? Is it serious? "Huo Jialan immediately became nervous. She wanted to call Huo Shaoheng herself …
"I'm not sure about that. I heard it's just a fever." Fan Jian's answer was very clever and did not arouse their suspicions.
Huo Xuenong even snorted and said, "It's not late or early, but we just had to get sick when we came back. Hmph!"
"Grandfather, you can't say that. There's no choice when it comes to illness." Huo Jialan said and looked at the driver, Fan Jian, "The doctor said to rest at home? Doesn't that mean he can't walk around? Did you know that my cousin will be attending the Prime Minister's inauguration tonight? "
Fan Jian smiled and said, "The Chief is sick. He can't attend even if he wanted to. He wants to, but he doesn't have the strength."
