Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
Was there a difference?
Although Gu Nianzhi really wanted to see how her newly bought second-hand house looked like, she was still a bit unhappy with Huo Shaoheng's tone.
Also, after experiencing so much drama today, even someone as energetic and healthy as her was a bit tired.
At that moment, she just wanted to take her beloved pink diamond crown to a place with no one around and admire it in detail.
She looked up and was about to retort when she saw Yin Shixiong and Ma Qiqi standing in front of them leaning forward. Tsk tsk, even their ears were perked up!
Even if they were eavesdropping, they didn't have to be so obvious, okay?!
Gu Nianzhi touched her earlobe and looked straight ahead as well. She said calmly, "I'm too tired today. I want to go back to the dorm."
If she went back to the dorm, Huo Shaoheng wouldn't "go back with her" right?
Huo Shaoheng pursed his lips as his gaze fell on the pink diamond crown in her arms. "This thing is very valuable. Are you sure you want to take it back to school like this?"
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
She looked down at the pink diamond crown in her hands and the faint glances from the people in the hall. She hugged the pink diamond crown even tighter.
"Come back to the official residence with me and lock this thing in your safe." Huo Shaoheng's voice deepened. It sounded like he was admonishing her, but it also sounded like he was patiently guiding her.
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and shook her head. "No." She then handed the pink diamond crown to Huo Shaoheng. "Just take it back and put it in the safe for me."
"You trust me that much?" Huo Shaoheng looked at her for a while before taking the pink diamond crown from her. "Actually, you can put it in your new house. I installed a built-in safe for you there. It has an alarm system and can directly contact the police station."
Gu Nianzhi struggled internally and wanted to continue saying "no," but looking at the pink diamond crown in Huo Shaoheng's hands, she really couldn't bear the possibility of losing the pink diamond crown again.
Huo Shaoheng knew her too well. She couldn't refuse his conditions.
Gu Nianzhi closed her eyes and could only whisper, "Ok." Then she said, "Just walk me to the door."
Huo Shaoheng smiled and noncommittally held the pink diamond crown in his hand. "When are you leaving?"
Gu Nianzhi looked at Ma Qiqi. "Go out first. I still have something to say to Qiqi."
Huo Shaoheng nodded and took the car keys from Yin Shixiong. "I called Little Fan to pick you and Qiqi up."
They had come in the same car, but now Huo Shaoheng had to drive himself to her newly bought second-hand house. Yin Shixiong and Ma Qiqi had to find another car.
"It's fine, it's fine." Yin Shixiong secretly gave Huo Shaoheng a thumbs up. "The Chief knows when to yield and when to stand tall. He's a real man!"
"…"
Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes at him but didn't say anything.
She didn't need to ask to know which side Yin Shixiong was on, so she didn't blame him.
Ma Qiqi pulled Gu Nianzhi aside and said, "Nianzhi, are you coming back tonight?"
Gu Nianzhi replied calmly, "Of course I'm back. I'm just going to check out the house and drop that thing off."
Ma Qiqi knew Gu Nianzhi was talking about the pink diamond crown.
This thing was too valuable.
"Remember to hide it well. Why don't you go to the bank tomorrow and open a safety deposit box?" Ma Qiqi suggested to Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi nodded. "I will. I heard there's a safety deposit box in my house."
"That's great!" Ma Qiqi relaxed and patted Gu Nianzhi's shoulder. "Be careful."
Huo Shao's combat ability was too strong. Ma Qiqi couldn't help but want to pray for Gu Nianzhi …
In the hall of the Prime Minister's official residence, the music that had slowed down started playing again.
The men and women in evening gowns acted like nothing had happened. They chatted in the hall, and many people were still talking about what had just happened.
Gu Yanran, the richest woman in Barbados, had fallen just like that.
Their gazes at Gu Nianzhi were filled with new scrutiny and approval.
A capable person wouldn't be buried anywhere.
Seeing a few people walk over to Gu Nianzhi, Huo Shaoheng left first and said, "I'll wait for you in the parking lot."
After he left, the people came over to greet Gu Nianzhi and wanted to exchange business cards with her.
Gu Nianzhi spread her hands with a smile. "I'm still a graduate student, so I don't have a business card."
"Miss Gu is already so amazing with a master's degree from B University's Faculty of Law. You'll definitely have a bright future."
These kinds of compliments weren't worth much, but they showed a person's attitude.
If they didn't take you seriously, they wouldn't even bother to talk to you, much less mention complimenting you.
Gu Nianzhi understood this, so she tried to be as serious as possible with these people.
After staying there for nearly 20 minutes, Gu Nianzhi finally left with Yin Shixiong and Ma Qiqi.
Tan Guiren saw that she didn't leave with Huo Shaoheng, so she really wanted to believe that Gu Nianzhi had broken up with Huo Shaoheng. However, she also saw that Gu Nianzhi had given the pink diamond crown to Huo Shaoheng …
Would such a valuable item be given to someone they didn't have a good relationship with?
With that thought, Tan Guiren became uncertain again.
She looked at Gu Nianzhi with a complicated expression and asked, "Why did Miss Gu let Huo Shao take the pink diamond crown?"
Gu Nianzhi thought to herself, What does it have to do with you?
But that would be too rude and disrespectful to the Prime Minister's daughter.
Also, she probably wouldn't be able to hold her position as Prime Minister for many days.
Therefore, Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but be a bit more lenient with Tan Guiren. She said seriously, "Yes, it's like this. I was worried that the crown wasn't the real thing, so I asked Mr. Huo to help me examine it."
Tan Guiren was shocked. "Mr. Huo knows how to appraise jewelry and cultural relics?!"
"Yes, Mr. Huo is an all-rounder. He knows everything." Gu Nianzhi smiled slightly and turned to leave.
Yin Shixiong and Ma Qiqi had a hard time suppressing their laughter. They only started laughing when they left the main entrance of the Prime Minister's official residence.
Gu Nianzhi didn't laugh with them. She saw He Zhichu at the main entrance of the Prime Minister's official residence.
She remembered that Huo Shaoheng and He Zhichu had just come in together, but for some reason, He Zhichu had seen the pink diamond crown in Gu Nianzhi's hand and instantly felt it was particularly glaring, so he didn't come in. Instead, he turned to walk down the corridor outside.
He stood there silently smoking, his tall and elegant figure exceptionally lonely under the streetlights.
Gu Nianzhi thought about it and walked over to whisper, "Professor He?"
He Zhichu turned to look at her. Her face was as beautiful and delicate as a sprout in spring, and there was something more in her large eyes than before. They were no longer a clear stream that one could see all the way to the bottom at a glance. Instead, they had gradually become a pool of autumn water, mysterious and moving.
"Nianzhi, you did well today." He Zhichu began to praise her. "I saw you argue with Gu Yanran."
Gu Nianzhi's face flushed instantly. "You saw it? Didn't you go out? "
She remembered that He Zhichu had just been called away by the staff to say that there was a problem with his car.
He Zhichu looked up at the moonlight on the horizon and said dryly, "… Big Xiong used his phone to livestream the whole thing, so I saw it from the side."
Gu Nianzhi was a bit embarrassed and could only ask again, "… Is your car okay?"
He Zhichu held a cigarette in his hand and sighed. "It suddenly caught fire, and now it's all gone."
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
"Then how are you going back?" Gu Nianzhi was worried. She had come in He Zhichu's car, and now that he didn't have a car, was she going to leave him alone?
He Zhichu threw away the cigarette in his hand and said, "How are you going back?"
"… I'm going back in Huo Shao's car."
"Ok, let's go together," He Zhichu said dryly. His shimmering, sultry eyes flashed twice, and he followed Gu Nianzhi to Huo Shaoheng's car.
