Chapter 1951: Chapter 1951: you have such low expectations of me
Xue Jingjiang had never expected that Huo Shaoheng would be able to see so many things in the eyes of a small woman who was trying to sow discord between two people.
He was speechless for a long time before finally saying in admiration, “Huo Shao, is your occupational disease acting up?”
Huo Shaoheng chuckled. “You call this an occupational disease? Xue Shao, this is the worst attack of an occupational disease.”
Xue Jingjiang:”…”
He couldn’t afford to offend her.
He didn’t dare to continue this topic with Huo Shaoheng. He chuckled and said, “Huo Shao, when are you going to have your wedding with your sister-in-law? My red packet is so h.o.r.n.y!”
“Then you’ll have to prepare a large portion.”Huo Shaoheng casually exchanged a few pleasantries before changing the topic.”… does Hong Ziqi Know? What does he have to say?”
He had yet to see Hong Ziqi and Guo Huining apologize to Gu Nianzhi.
Xue Jingjiang quickly said, “I’ve already instructed Young Master Hong and his fiancée. They should be prepared to apologize to sister-in-law, right?”
“Is that so?”Huo Shaoheng took out a lighter and lit it on the balcony, then extinguished it, then lit it again, then extinguished it. The light from the lighter shone on the side of his face, bright and dark, it was as obscure as his gaze.
“… I think so…”Xue Jingjiang wasn’t sure either, so he could only say, “Huo, Hong Ziqi isn’t a bad person, but his brain isn’t very good. That’s why he trusts his well-educated fiancée…”
He didn’t say it clearly, but he implied that Hong Ziqi didn’t have the final say in this matter, and Guo Huining had the final say.
Huo Shaoheng laughed when he heard this. He put out the lighter with a click and said, “Hong Ziqi is a member of the Hong family. If he didn’t agree with Guo Huining’s actions, would he have allowed Guo Huining to do whatever she wanted?”
Xue Jingjiang knew that Huo Shaoheng’s words had made things difficult for him.
He silently gave Hong Ziqi and even lit a candle for the Hong family. He thought to himself, “Young Master Hong, this bro can only help you so much…”
..
Gu Nianzhi went to Lu Jin’s room and looked around curiously.
This room was one of the guest rooms in song Jinning’s apartment. It was about 20 square meters, and was decorated simply and cleanly.

There was a large desk under the south window, and a beige post-modern chair that was in line with ergonomics was placed diagonally in front of the desk.
There was a leopard-print blanket on the back of the pink-blue Satin Chair.
On both sides of the desk, there were two tall bookcases built from the wall. Inside, there were a lot of books.
On the west and north walls, there was an l-shaped smoke-gray cloth sofa.
Lu Jin smiled at Gu Nianzhi and said, “If you pull this sofa apart, it’ll be a bed. It’s so comfortable to sleep on!”
Gu Nianzhi walked over and patted the back of the sofa to feel its hardness. Fortunately, the softness and hardness were moderate. This sofa bed was also more comfortable to sleep on.
She asked softly, “Dad, are you used to sleeping?”
In the other world, Lu Jin had never been a person who wronged himself.
He did not have much concept of money, but his food, clothing, and accommodation were all top-notch because he could afford it.
Although the sofa bed was comfortable, it was still far from Lu Jin’s custom-made high-tech bed in the other world.
Lu Jin patted her head in understanding. “Of course it’s comfortable. Do you think your father can only enjoy it and not suffer the slightest bit?”
Gu Nianzhi felt even sadder. “Dad, I didn’t ask you to come with me to make you suffer…”
She suddenly felt very unfilial. She grabbed Lu Jin’s arm with one hand and grabbed the corner of his s.h.i.+rt with the other, twisting it into a knot, she made up her mind. “Dad, I still have a villa in Fragrant Hill. You can stay there… you sleep on the sofa here every day. Where can I put my face?”
“It’s not like you don’t know why we’re living here.”Lu Jin whispered into Gu Nianzhi’s ear. “I’m doing this for Boss Lu! Don’t ruin his reputation!”
“… but he asked you to sleep on the sofa!”Gu Nianzhi accused Lu Yuan of being inhumane. “I can’t just let you down for his sake, can I? !”
“My Lady is so filial!”Lu Jin was extremely touched. “But boss Lu didn’t let me down. I don’t want a bed. I’ve never slept on a sofa bed before, so it’s fun to sleep on it.”
Gu Nianzhi’s lips twitched, “Dad, don’t be like this. Actually, it’s not a big deal for you guys to be like this. If you guys lived here, Mrs. Song wouldn’t have come back to live here. “You might as well stay in my two houses and see Mrs. Song come back to the apartment every weekend…”
Lu Jin tilted his head and thought about it. He nodded slowly and said, “Yes… but boss Lu has just settled down. Let him be happy for a while. Anyway, our apartment will be finished in a month.”
“Okay.”Gu Nianzhi nodded. “Then I’ll help you move in a month.”
“Okay! Let’s go buy some furniture together!”Lu Jin said excitedly. “I’ve prepared a room for you. What kind of furniture do you want? !”
“We’ll go shopping together then.”Gu Nianzhi breathed a sigh of relief. She sat on the ergonomic chair in front of Lu Jin’s desk and touched the leopard-print blanket, “This blanket is so comfortable. The fur is so smooth. I’ll have to ask Ms. Song later where she bought such a good leopard-print blanket.”
The simple and elegant decoration would have an unexpected effect if it was mixed with a little leopard-print soft clothing.
Lu Jin chuckled, he shook his head and said, “This is difficult… I didn’t buy this… Boss Lu took it out from the safe that he used to store things in. “It’s said that when he was young, he went hunting in Africa and killed the first leopard…”
“Ah!”Gu Nianzhi jumped up in a hurry and instantly distanced herself from the leopard-print blanket. “This is real leopard skin? !”
“Yes, it’s real!”Lu Jin laughed and pointed at Gu Nianzhi. “So you’re Lord Ye’s Good Dragon!”
Gu Nianzhi giggled and sat down on the single sofa beside the door. “I’m Green! Why is it Lord Ye’s Good Dragon? !”
The father and daughter chatted for a while before Lu Jin asked Gu Nianzhi,”… What have you been up to recently? I heard that you went to see your friends here this afternoon? How did it go? Do they still remember you?”
“Of course they do!”Gu Nianzhi shook her hair proudly, “My best friend, Ma Qiqi, and brother Chen. Oh, by the way, Dad, you must meet brother Chen when you’re free. He has outstanding medical talent and is a genius!”
Lu Jin looked at her.”… A Genius?”
“Of course, he’s a little worse than you.”Gu Nianzhi quickly added with a smile, “So if he meets you, he’ll definitely have a lot to talk about with you!”
He then whispered, “Ever since I came here, brother Chen has taken care of all my medical tests, illnesses, and injuries. No one else knows about my const.i.tution…”
Lu Jin finally felt at ease and quickly said, “Then I really have to meet him. Just because he takes care of you, I have to teach him a thing or two!”
“That’s Great!”Gu Nianzhi jumped up from the sofa with a smile and walked over to Lu Jin. She stretched out her arm and pulled him to sit on the long, l-shaped sofa. “Dad, you should take it easy too. Don’t scare him!”
Lu Jin flicked his fingers proudly and pretended to look down on her. “Just a little bit of my finger is enough for him to enjoy for the rest of his life!”
The two of them talked until Huo Shaoheng walked over and knocked on the door. He smiled and said,”… It’s time to eat.”
Lu Jin and Gu Nianzhi stood up almost at the same time. Their eyes sparkled as they asked in unison, “Can We Eat Now?”
“Yes.”Huo Shaoheng moved to the side to make way for the door.
Lu Jin and Gu Nianzhi walked out one after the other.
When they walked past Huo Shaoheng, he quietly grabbed Gu Nianzhi’s arm and whispered into her ear,”… did Hong Ziqi and Guo Huining call you to apologize?”
Gu Nianzhi was a little taken aback and couldn’t think straight.”… Hong Ziqi and Guo Huining? Oh, I remember now.”
She smiled and held Huo Shaoheng’s arm as they walked towards the restaurant. As they walked, she asked, “You knew?”
Huo Shaoheng nodded. “Why didn’t you tell me?”
“You didn’t ask…”Gu Nianzhi said with a smile. When Huo Shaoheng looked over quietly, she touched her nose again, she said embarra.s.sedly, “Actually, I forgot… you were so good back then, and I was so happy. How could I have time to think about those irrelevant people?”
Huo Shaoheng caressed Gu Nianzhi’s head and said after a while,”… you really have low expectations of me.”
He had only said a few soft words, but she was so excited that she didn’t even care about being humiliated by others.
“What? I have high expectations of you!”Gu Nianzhi disagreed, he said seriously, “But what happened today is my own business. I don’t need you to get back at me. Who are you to be angry with those people? — Huo Shao, you’re someone who can do great things.”
“Your Business is a big deal to me.”Huo Shaoheng suppressed the feelings of affection and tenderness in his heart and kissed her forehead, “In the future, if you’re wronged, you have to tell me. I’m your man. If I don’t support you, who will?”
Gu Nianzhi’s heart almost melted when she heard that. She couldn’t help but go around and hug Huo Shaoheng’s waist, she said softly, “Huo Shao, did you get enlightened after a trip to the opposite world? You keep saying all these romantic things. I Can’t hold it anymore!”
Huo Shaoheng smiled but did not say anything. He led her into the dining room.
Lu Jin had just helped song jinning set the dishes on the table when he saw Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi walk in. He pursed his lips in annoyance.
The two of them were just walking. Did they have to stand so close? !
They weren’t conjoined twins!
Lu Jin said to Huo Shaoheng with a dark expression, “Huo Shao, the bowls and chopsticks aren’t here yet. Can you go get them?”
Gu nianzhi smiled and said, “I’ll get them! I’ll get them!”
She pushed Huo Shaoheng away and ran into the kitchen.
Song jinning winked at Huo Shaoheng. “Shaoheng, I’ll go get the bowls and chopsticks for Nianzhi in the kitchen.”
She left Huo Shaoheng alone to Bear Lu Jin’s displeasure.
Huo Shaoheng smiled and bent over to help Lu Jin rearrange the dishes on the table. He said calmly, “Uncle Lu, Nianzhi went to have dinner with her best friend today, but she was humiliated in the hotel.”
Lu Jin was originally full of bitterness towards Huo Shaoheng, but when he heard that his lady had been humiliated, he immediately threw his emotions out of his mind. His eyes widened. “Who? ! who dares to humiliate my lady? !”
He then remembered what Gu Nianzhi had said earlier.”… was it what happened when she went to see her friend this afternoon?”
Huo Shaoheng nodded and pulled out a chair for Lu Jin to sit down. He also sat down beside him, he sighed and said, “It was my fault. I went to the second floor to have lunch with my friends. Nianzhi wanted to have lunch with her friends, so I let the three of them eat downstairs. In the end…”
He described the incident that had happened at the Hong Hotel in an emotionless and objective manner.
Lu Jin was already enraged by this description.
He slammed the table and stood up.”… What Hong Family? What Investment Bank? Where did this lowlife come from? ! How dare he take advantage of my girl! Do they think that money is too easy to earn? That it’s too easy to go public? !”
Huo Shaoheng poured a gla.s.s of red wine for Lu Jin. “Calm down, Nianzhi has already retorted.”
Lu Jin glared at him. “Nianzhi retorted? How?”
“… she said she would never set foot in the Hong Hotel again.”Huo Shaoheng said without batting an eyelid, “That’s what I said. She would never go again.”
The anger on Lu Jin’s face quickly faded. His lips trembled as he sat down at the dining table.”… She… she fought back like this? ! This is called fighting back? !”
Lu Jin covered his face as he spoke. He felt extremely uncomfortable, “My poor girl. She went to a hotel for a meal and was chased out… the only counterattack she could think of was to never eat there again… how can they bully her like this!”
Huo Shaoheng was silent for a long while before handing Lu Jin a tissue. “It was my fault. If I had been there with her…”
“No, it’s none of your business.”Lu Jin sniffled and took the tissue to wipe his face. “You can’t follow her around 24 hours a day.”
How could he be so reasonable..
Huo Shaoheng raised his eyebrows in surprise.
However, when Lu Jin looked over, Huo Shaoheng’s expression had already returned to normal, he nodded seriously. “That’s the truth, but Nianzhi is mine. I Can’t let others treat her like this. Uncle Lu, if we could have the wedding with Nianzhi earlier…”
Lu Jin interrupted him and said seriously, “Nianzhi said that if she wanted to be filial to her mother for a year, she would have to be filial for a year. The wedding will be held in a year’s time.”
Huo Shaoheng still wanted to convince him, but Lu Jin had already raised his hand and said with a straight face, “In everyone’s eyes, Nianzhi is not married yet, so she is my responsibility. I will protect her from being bullied.”
“… but she has already been bullied.”Huo Shaoheng’s fingers knocked on the dining table, making a clicking sound.
“Yes, then the person who bullied her will have to pay the price.”Lu Jin’s fingers were crossed and clenched tightly, his knuckles making cracking sounds. His face was tense. “I will not let anyone who bullied my girl have any chance of turning the tables!”
Huo Shaoheng:”…”
He suddenly felt a little worried and said hesitantly,”… just teach them a lesson…”
“Of course, just teach them a lesson.”Lu Jin’s expression calmed down and he heard footsteps behind him. He turned to see Gu Nianzhi and song jinning coming out with bowls and chopsticks, he smiled and said, “But this lesson will be etched in their hearts.”
