Chapter 1937: Chapter 1937 Sweet Troubles (Second Update)
The low-key and luxurious black SUV screeched to a stop on the small road in front of the official residence.
Huo Shaoheng, who was standing under the camphor tree by the wall of the official residence not far away, did not turn around until he heard Gu Nianzhi calling out to him. He turned around and smiled as she got out of the car.
“Huo Shao!”Gu Nianzhi waved at him with a face full of joy. “Is everything done?”
Huo Shaoheng had broken up with them at the airport and had only just returned. He must have something to take care of.
Huo Shaoheng nodded. He knew from Yin s.h.i.+xiong that they had gone to the Huo family’s mansion at the military headquarters. However, when he glanced at the car, he saw that Gu Nianzhi, Lu Jin, and Huo Guanyuan had gotten out, he did not see song jinning.
Yin s.h.i.+xiong had said that Huo Guanyuan had taken the car alone to the Huo family’s mansion first. Gu Nianzhi, Lu Jin, and song Jinning had arrived later. The two groups of people had taken two different cars.
Now that the number of people taking the car had changed, Huo Shaoheng was keenly aware that something was wrong.
He walked over and naturally took Gu Nianzhi’s hand. He nodded at Lu Jin and Lu Yuan, who were walking towards him. “Uncle Lu, colonel commandant.”
Lu Yuan smiled. “Colonel Commandant died 18 years ago. I’m Lu Yuan. Don’t mistake me for someone else.”
Huo Shaoheng paused. “What happened?”
Huo Guanyuan had reported to General Ji in his true ident.i.ty at the airport.
It had only been a few hours. Why was he in Lu Yuan’s temporary ident.i.ty again?
Gu Nianzhi saw Huo Shaoheng’s confusion. She gently dug her fingers into Huo Shaoheng’s palm and said with a smile, “It’s a long story. Let’s talk inside.”
Lu Yuan nodded. “Let’s talk inside.”
Lu Jin looked closely at Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi’s interlocking hands. He felt a little sore, but he didn’t say anything. He just followed them into Huo Shaoheng’s official residence.
Huo Shaoheng led them directly to the study on the second floor.
This was also his home office, so it was the most secure and confidential place. If they spoke here, they wouldn’t be afraid of being heard.
Gu Nianzhi obediently went to make tea for the three of them, and did not say why.

This was Huo Guanyuan’s decision, and Gu Nianzhi respected his choice.
Huo Shaoheng saw that Gu Nianzhi was like a hostess, much more mature and sensible than before. He was happy, but also a little bitter.
The price of his Nianzhi’s growth was more intense and painful than others.
Lu Jin followed her to the small tea room in the study, leaving only Lu Yuan and Huo Shaoheng to talk.
Gu Nianzhi heard someone enter and turned to find Lu Jin. She chuckled. “Dad, what would you like to drink? I’m making tea, but if you want something else, it’s fine.”
“Tea it is. Do you have a Wuyi da Hong Pao?”Lu Jin walked over to her side and looked at the wide array of tea leaves in the opened cabinet door.
The top row was filled with small purple clay pots. They were about two inches tall and neatly arranged in the frosted gla.s.s cabinet.
The middle row was filled with small blue and white porcelain pots. They looked the same as the purple clay pots on top, but they were made of different materials.
There was a small label attached to each pot that could be removed and replaced.
The purple clay pots were filled with black tea, while the blue and white porcelain pots were filled with different types of green tea.
Gu Nianzhi picked up the small purple clay pot with the label “Wuyi da Hong Pao.”She gave Lu Jin a pinch of tea leaves and put them into an exquisite cup of tea.
She then went to the induction cooker next to her to boil water.
Lu Jin watched Gu Nianzhi make tea and asked curiously,”… do you guys always have to go through so much trouble to drink tea?”
Although he liked to drink black tea, he spent most of his time using simple tea bags that could be brewed in boiling water.
Scientists’time was precious, and they would rather spend it on complicated experiments than on food, clothing, and transportation.
Gu Nianzhi smiled and Winked at Lu Jin. “No, today is special, so I made a full set of tea.”
Lu Jin laughed and asked, “Why is today special?”
Gu Nianzhi didn’t put on the tea bag and rolled her eyes. “Today is Daddy’s first time here, so of course I have to treat him well!”
“Naughty! Dad is not an outsider.”Lu Jin smiled and knocked her head.
While waiting for the water to boil, gu nianzhi asked softly, “Dad, you can stay here for a few days. We’ll need time to find you a house…”
Lu Jin shook his head, he insisted, “It was fine for me to stay here, but boss Lu has fallen out with the Huo family. If he stays here, ‘New N0vel.0 rg’Huo Guanchen will definitely come looking for trouble. Why Bother? It would be better if we stayed outside.”
Gu Nianzhi thought for a moment, then took out the key and key to the apartment on the third ring road and put them in Lu Jin’s hands, she said, “Then you and president Lu can stay at my place.”. “This apartment is under my name, although it’s paid for by Huo Shao. “Although it’s not as s.p.a.cious and luxurious as your apartment over there, it’s still my house. Don’t worry about the security. It’s 10,000% insured.”
Lu Jin did not decline. He happily took the key card and key and said with a smile, “Of course I want to live in my daughter’s house. But…”
He looked at Gu Nianzhi and said, “What About You? Where do you live?”
“… I live here…”Gu Nianzhi was a little embarra.s.sed, but she had been separated from Huo Shaoheng for so long, and she did not want to be separated from him again.
Lu Jin knew that Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng were actually married. When Gu Nianzhi was there, she had already told Lu Jin about this in order for him to accept Huo Shaoheng.
But he still didn’t agree.
“Nianzhi, you can stay here for a few days, but when boss Lu and I find a house, you have to move in with us. You Can’t stay at Huo Shaoheng’s house until you have a public wedding with him.”
Lu Jin was very insistent on this point. Although he couldn’t have good relations.h.i.+ps with others, he knew about the things in relations.h.i.+ps.
It was just that he was too arrogant and didn’t care about these things.
However, Gu Nianzhi was different. She was his daughter. He could ignore ordinary people, but his own daughter couldn’t be looked down upon by these people.
Gu Nianzhi nodded awkwardly, “Okay, Dad. I’ll move in with You When you find a house, but are you sure you don’t want to stay in my apartment forever? Mrs. Song lives in the same building as me…”
“Huh? Really?”Lu Jin asked in surprise. “She has a house there too?”
“Yes, I bought it first. She bought it later.”Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes and thought of another house. It was a house that Gu Yanran had bought upstairs from her.
Gu Yanran’s embezzlement of the Gu family’s property was later exposed, and she was sent to prison. The house then belonged to Gu Nianzhi.
“Dad, actually I have another apartment in that building, but I don’t know if I should want this house.”Gu Nianzhi said with some melancholy and told him about Gu Yanran and the Gu family.
Lu Jin listened and couldn’t shut his mouth for a long time. After a while.., “You’re saying that the person related to the Gu family is this Gu Yanran. She once killed Little Nianzhi and seized the Gu family’s property? ! And then you seized the property and now it’s in your name?”
Gu Nianzhi nodded in annoyance. “But I didn’t do it on purpose! I had no idea that I wasn’t the Gu Nianzhi here…”
She felt wronged. “I thought Gu Xiangwen here was my father…”
Lu Jin’s eyes were red with sadness. He put his arm around her shoulder and tried his best to comfort her, “Nianzhi, it’s not your fault. When I sent you here, I a.s.sumed that Little Nianzhi here was already dead. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have sent you here.”
There seemed to be something wrong with her words.
Gu Nianzhi suddenly looked up. “Dad, when you sent me here, you a.s.sumed that Little Nianzhi was already dead?”
“Yes, if I hadn’t a.s.sumed that she was already dead, I wouldn’t have sent you here no matter how Crazy I was. “I sent you here to find a way out for you, not to send you to your death.”Lu Jin was no longer burdened, he spoke naturally.
Gu Nianzhi immediately chased after him, “But, how did you deduce that Little Nianzhi was dead? From your tone, it didn’t sound like a normal guess, but almost a 100% certainty. “Otherwise, you wouldn’t have said that you wanted to find a way to live for me, not to kill me.”
Lu Jin’s heart skipped a beat, and he thought with embarra.s.sment and relief that having a smart daughter was also a sweet trouble.
