By the time Gu Nianzhi received Yin Shixiong's call, Huo Shaoheng was already in He Zhichu's car.
She regretted sitting in He Zhichu's passenger seat just now. Then she wouldn't have to sit with Huo Shaoheng.
She didn't feel anything else but awkwardness.
She turned her head to look out the window and chuckled at Yin Shixiong. She said faintly, "Brother Xiong, how dare you 'forget' about your chief? Do you think I'm stupid? "
Yin Shixiong chuckled. "Nianzhi, don't expose the truth. Also, the Chief understands that it's not easy for an old leftover man like me. You should understand too, right? "
"You … an old leftover man?!" Gu Nianzhi burst out laughing. "Brother Xiong, you're really good at making up stories!"
She gradually calmed down.
She hung up and turned to look at Huo Shaoheng sitting on the other side. "Huo Shao, Brother Xiong asked us to take you back. Where are you going? "
Huo Shaoheng propped his head on his hand and leaned against the window. He replied calmly, "To your school."
"To my school?" Gu Nianzhi was speechless. "Why are you going to my school so late?"
Huo Shaoheng glanced at her with a hint of a smile in his eyes. "Big Xiong took Qiqi back to school. I'm going to wait for him there."
Gu Nianzhi replied with an "oh" and called Yin Shixiong again. "Brother Xiong, Huo Shao asked you to wait for him at my school."
Yin Shixiong acknowledged and secretly sent Huo Shaoheng a text to ask if that was the case.
Huo Shaoheng casually replied "yes" and put his phone away.
He Zhichu sat in the front driving and felt indescribably frustrated.
He really wanted to stop on the side of the road and ask Gu Nianzhi to sit in front. Or maybe he should ask Gu Nianzhi to sit in front right now?
It seemed to be against traffic rules and wasn't very safe.
He coughed and turned on the car stereo. Debussy's "Moonlight" instantly flowed out like water.
The melodious melody had a soothing effect.
Gu Nianzhi leaned her head against the window and stared at the scenery outside in a daze.
Her eyes were wide open. From his angle, Huo Shaoheng could even see the rows of street lights reflected in her pupils. It was like a sky full of stars were in her eyes.
It was obvious that Gu Nianzhi was still immersed in the happy life of Ma Qiqi's family.
Huo Shaoheng thought about it expressionlessly and said, "… Qiqi's family is really not bad. I can tell that her parents are decent people and love their children very much."
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
"However, there are also some parents who don't have deep feelings for their children. To them, their children are just tools or missions. Once they complete them, everything will be fine."
What is he talking about?
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but glance at Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng wasn't looking at her. Instead, he was looking in the direction of his car window. Gu Nianzhi could only see the outline of his handsome profile and the perfect curve of his jaw.
"… There are also parents who don't care about their children at all, but when their children grow up, they make all sorts of demands on them. They want their children to do anything they can to repay their kindness."
Huo Shaoheng's voice was very low, and it was accompanied by the sound of the piano that sounded like a mountain spring. It had a different kind of charm to it.
Gu Nianzhi frowned and was about to retort when He Zhichu, who was driving, also spoke.
"Huo Shao has a point. Nianzhi, Qiqi's parents are already very good parents. Most parents aren't that good. I've been a lawyer for so many years, and I've seen many irresponsible and unimaginable parents. There was once a very rich man in the United States who made a will before he died. He left all of his inheritance to the children of his later wife, including the children of that wife and her ex-husband. However, he didn't share a single cent with his biological children from his ex-wife. "
"There was also a mother who pimped out her biological daughter so that she could earn money to pay off her gambling debts."
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
So these two people saw that she was envious of Qiqi's parents today, so they came to educate her about how many unreliable parents there were in this world?!
Gu Nianzhi silently knelt before these two people.
Who wanted to listen to such negative things?
It wasn't like she didn't know …
She sighed and said weakly, "… I understand. I was just feeling emotional for a moment. Actually, even without parents, I've grown up, and … "She glanced at Huo Shaoheng.
If she didn't use the standards of lovers to measure him, he was indeed flawless to her.
…
He Zhichu had no choice but to agree with Huo Shaoheng. He felt uncomfortable all over.
However, he had to agree because he didn't want Gu Nianzhi to be stubborn.
Gu Nianzhi suddenly thought of Huo Shaoheng and He Zhichu's situation.
Huo Shaoheng didn't need to be mentioned. Although he had biological parents, his father was unreliable, and his mother devoted herself to scientific research. He was raised by his grandmother.
As for paternal and maternal love, he probably didn't enjoy much of it.
Of course, his parents were by his side, and Auntie Song undoubtedly loved Huo Shao a lot. However, Auntie Song and Auntie Ma were two completely different types of people, so they couldn't be compared. However, Gu Nianzhi liked them both.
She wanted to be someone who could be independent like Auntie Song, but she also wanted to have a mother like Auntie Ma.
Was she being too greedy?
Gu Nianzhi's fingers gently tapped the window to the rhythm of the piano. She looked at He Zhichu, who was driving diagonally in front of her.
She vaguely remembered He Zhichu mentioning once that his mother passed away when he was 10 years old.
He was raised by his father himself.
His father didn't remarry for more than 10 years because of him. It wasn't until He Zhichu was almost 30 that his father married the confidante who had always been by his side.
Gu Nianzhi gradually calmed down when she thought of this.
Okay, they weren't from families like Ma Qiqi's, so they could understand each other, right?
However, Gu Nianzhi still felt that they were different from her.
Regardless of whether their parents truly loved them or not, they all knew who their parents were and where their roots were.
Gu Nianzhi was different. She didn't remember her parents, her hometown, or her childhood, so her sense of insecurity and desire for maternal love were deeper than theirs.
She had to graduate quickly. After graduation, she could be independent as soon as possible and begin her journey to find her mother.
She couldn't rely on others …
Gu Nianzhi thought about it vaguely. Slowly, drowsiness overtook her, and she leaned against the window to sleep.
It had been an exhausting day. Even someone as energetic as her felt mentally and physically exhausted.
…
Huo Shaoheng didn't hear her speak for a while. He sensed that her breathing was calm and light, like she was asleep.
He turned to see that she was indeed asleep.
However, her head was leaning against the window, and her arms were tightly wrapped around his chest as she curled up in the corner.
Huo Shaoheng's eyes flashed. He sat over and pulled Gu Nianzhi over to let her lean against his shoulder.
Gu Nianzhi was sleeping soundly when she felt a familiar scent in her dreams. She couldn't help leaning over to find a comfortable position. She heard the familiar sound of a heartbeat. It was the best lullaby, and she slept even more soundly.
Huo Shaoheng looked down to see Gu Nianzhi, who had fallen asleep clutching his shirt from his shoulder to his chest. His lips curled into a slight smile.
Huo Shaoheng hugged her like that and let her rest on his chest. They slept all the way to the dormitory.
He Zhichu saw it from the rearview mirror. The veins on the back of his hand bulged as he gripped the steering wheel, but he gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound.
…
Yin Shixiong had arrived a long time ago. After Ma Qiqi went up, he waited there alone.
It was already past midnight, and there weren't many people on campus.
Yin Shixiong didn't have to wait long before he saw He Zhichu's car drive over and park below the dormitory.
The door opened, and Huo Shaoheng got out of the car. He then turned around and reached into the car to carry someone out.
He Zhichu also got out of the car and called out to Huo Shaoheng. "Huo Shao, this isn't good, right?"
Huo Shaoheng stopped in his tracks and glanced at him. "What's not good about it? Nianzhi is asleep. "
"It's only a few steps. Just wake her up." He Zhichu walked over with a cold expression and called out, "Nianzhi, wake up."
His voice seemed to explode in her ear.
Gu Nianzhi opened her eyes in a daze and quickly felt something was wrong. She struggled to stand up.
She vaguely remembered that she seemed to have leaned against Huo Shaoheng to sleep in the car. She suddenly felt very ashamed and didn't even look up. "… Professor He, thank you for driving me back. Good night. "After saying that, he turned around and ran into the dormitory building.
He Zhichu didn't say anything. He texted Gu Nianzhi to rest well and drove away.
Yin Shixiong finally walked over and said with a smile, "Huo Shao, can we go back now?"
Huo Shaoheng didn't even look at him and extended his hand. "Keys."
Yin Shixiong placed the car keys in his hand and followed him into the car. They left the B University campus and returned to the Special Operations Forces headquarters base.
…
The next day was Monday. Both Gu Nianzhi and Ma Qiqi had morning classes.
The two of them woke up at 7 o 'clock and hurriedly finished their breakfast. Then, they carried their bags and rushed to their respective classrooms.
On Monday, on the B University campus, students faced the rising sun and raced against the clock. They were full of fighting spirit.
However, the world outside the campus wasn't as calm and peaceful.
The news of the new First Lady being taken away by the Procuratorate on Prime Minister Tan's first day in office spread like a storm from Weibo to reality.
Everyone, both online and offline, was paying attention to this major news.
Tan Dongbang and his staff discussed it all night and finally decided to have a lawyer go to the Procuratorate to bring Cai Songyin back early the next morning.
The legal reasoning they used was that the Procuratorate didn't have a court subpoena and couldn't set up a private courtroom to detain someone.
If it was to assist in the investigation, a lawyer had to be present and couldn't be forced. The time couldn't exceed 12 hours.
Tan Guiren cried all night and didn't fall asleep until the sun rose.
Tan Dongbang couldn't care about her at this time. He only hoped that Tan Guiren would be obedient while he was under pressure.
He had just sat down in his office when he received an internal call saying that Miss Gu Yanran was requesting to see Prime Minister Tan. She also brought the latest news about Mrs. Tan.
Gu Yanran didn't come alone. She brought Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan had watched Cai Songyin's incident from beginning to end last night.
He later told Gu Yanran that there was a very powerful computer expert among the people who messed with Cai Songyin.
