Chapter 1563 - Probably Hasn’t Been Born Yet

“Huh? ... You want me to be your sister?” Gu Nianzhi’s large eyes, which had their own “enlarging contact lenses’ effect, were wide open at this moment. “Young Master He, please speak properly. Don’t be so jumpy. I’m timid, and I’m afraid that my heart hasn’t fully recovered yet...”

She couldn’t stand such a sudden stimulation.

Feeling a faint pain rising from there, she clutched her chest.

He Zhichu frowned slightly and glanced at her clutching her chest. “What’s wrong? Your heart hasn’t fully recovered yet?”

He remembered the power of that shot. Even now, he often saw her stop breathing in his nightmares...

“How can it heal so fast? It still hurts when I’m caught off guard.” Gu Nianzhi patted her chest lightly, and she said sheepishly, “Actually, you don’t have to be like this. Since the Christmas party is so big, have fun. I won’t be going.”

She had been locked up in her apartment for more than a month and was already used to being alone with only two or three people.

She still wasn’t used to going to the He family’s Christmas party, which was full of people and beautiful clothes.

He Zhichu put his hands in his pockets and sat back on the windowsill. He stretched his long legs and his sparkling almond-shaped eyes twinkled, “... Tonight’s ball is the most anticipated event in the country. Everything that happens here will be spread across the country as quickly as possible. — If you don’t want your mother to think about your ‘body’ anymore, this is an opportunity that can’t be missed.”

Gu Nianzhi instantly understood He Zhichu’s intentions and glared at him. “Young Master He, you’ve also learned to be bad. You don’t just blindly do things recklessly anymore. Instead, you know how to beat around the bush to achieve your best goal.”

“I’ve learned from my mistakes. I’ve already learned from my mistakes, so naturally, I’ll grow wiser.” He Zhichu pointed at his own head, then he smiled mockingly. “How about it? Think about it carefully. You don’t have to make a decision right away. You can go back and discuss it with President Lu and the others.”

“You still have four hours to make a decision.” He Zhichu looked at his watch. “The other three hours are required to fly back to the imperial capital.”

In other words, there were still seven hours before the Christmas party.

Gu Nianzhi: “...”

It was undeniable that she was tempted by this opportunity.

In order to get rid of Qin Yaoguang, she had made a will today, but this was only the first step.

The most crucial step was to shut Qin Yaoguang’s mouth and not allow her to call herself her biological mother.

To her, she was only a biological mother, but a legal mother was much more complicated than a biological mother.

She thought about it and said, “Alright, I’ll think about it carefully when I get back. I’ll give you an answer in four hours.”

He Zhichu planned to take her back to the capital on his private jet. This was the safest way.

He Zhichu sent Gu Nianzhi back to the apartment complex where she lived. He patted her on the shoulder. “Don’t make me wait too long.”

Gu Nianzhi nodded and watched He Zhichu’s back disappear into the elevator. She then turned to open the door and walked in.

In the apartment, Lu Yuan had also arrived. He sat on the sofa and looked at the documents in his hands.

Lu Jin was standing in front of the window with a special pair of binoculars. He was looking out the window at an unknown place.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, he turned around and his eyes lit up. “Nianzhi! You’re back!”

It was as if he hadn’t seen her for hundreds of years.

Actually, Gu Nianzhi had only been out for less than an hour.

Lu Yuan sat on the sofa, and without looking up, he said, “Lu Jin, wake up. Ever since Nianzhi went out, you’ve been using a high-power infrared telescope to surveillance He Zhichu’s base. The only thing missing is to connect to the communications satellite and see what’s going on inside He Zhichu’s official residence.”

Lu Jin wasn’t ashamed. Instead, he was proud of himself. He smiled and said, “Actually, I’ve always wanted to launch my own satellite, but Boss Lu was too cautious and refused.”

Gu Nianzhi: “...”

This was too exaggerated.

However, the telescope in Lu Jin’s hand did indeed look very high-end.

She was certain that Major General Huo and the others didn’t have such a high-grade telescope.

Gu Nianzhi smiled as she walked over and asked curiously, “These binoculars are amazing. Can I take a look at them?”

Lu Jin immediately stuffed the binoculars into her hands and said generously, “I’ll give them to you. You can look at them however you want.”

It was great to have a father like this!

Gu Nianzhi naturally tiptoed and kissed Lu Jin on the cheek. “Thank you, father!”

Lu Jin was so dizzy from the kiss that all the blood in his body seemed to rush to his face. His brain was almost suffocating from the lack of oxygen.

He was on the verge of collapse and quickly stood up by the windowsill behind him.

Gu Nianzhi patted Lu Jin on the shoulder and asked nervously, “Daddy, are you okay?”

“I’m fine, I’m fine!” Lu Jin came back to his senses and shook his head to shake off the messy stars in front of him. He said, “Good girl, have you made your will with He Zhichu?”

Gu Nianzhi nodded and supported Lu Jin’s arm as they walked to the sofa and sat down.

Lu Yuan raised his eyes and looked at Lu Jin. He said expressionlessly, “Lu Jin, are you crippled? You need someone to help you walk?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“I know you’re envious of me, Boss Lu.” Lu Jin exposed Lu Yuan’s sorrows without hesitation. “You’re already so old. Yet you don’t get close to any women or men, and you have no children. I want to see what you’ll do when you get old!”

Lu Yuan scoffed and shook his head. He said casually, “What’s the big deal? I can do the same thing as you. I can artificially inseminate myself and become a child to support me in my old age.”

He stabbed Lu Jin’s sore spot.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yuan regretted it. Worried that she would feel uncomfortable, he glanced at Gu Nianzhi.

Because he had been focused on mocking Lu Jin, he had forgotten that Gu Nianzhi was also here.

However, Gu Nianzhi was almost as big-hearted as Lu Jin. She didn’t think about herself at all. Instead, she smiled so widely that her eyes curved into crescents. She asked, “Then, does president Lu have a female candidate who he wants to provide the egg cells? Father, do you know any unmarried women of the right age who admire President Lu?”

This was the first time Lu Jin had quarreled with Lu Yuan and had his daughter to back him up. He couldn’t help but laugh and say, “A female candidate he likes? Hahahaha... she’s probably not even born yet!”

Lu Yuan: “...”

He really wanted to sew this person’s mouth shut.

Gu Nianzhi quickly coughed and tugged at Lu Jin’s sleeve to change the topic. “Dad, Young Master He just said that he wants to invite me to the He family’s Christmas party tonight. Do you think I should go?”

“The He family’s Christmas Party? It’s very grand and very fun. If you want to go, then go. If you don’t want to go, then don’t go. Don’t feel burdened.” Lu Jin patted the back of her hand, then he smiled sweetly and said, “But if you want to go, you must be the host of the party. Otherwise, we won’t go.”

Gu Nianzhi: “...”

Lu Yuan pretended not to hear Lu Jin’s random suggestion. He put away the iPad in his hand and said amiably, “Nianzhi, do you want to go?”

“I want to go a little.” Gu Nianzhi used the thumb and index finger of her right hand to make a small grain of rice distance. She frowned and said, “But I don’t know if I can achieve my goal.”

“What goal?” Lu Yuan and Lu Jin asked together.

Gu Nianzhi looked at Lu Jin and then at Lu Yuan. In the end, she still fixed her gaze on Lu Yuan.

After all, Lu Yuan’s suggestion was more objective, unlike Lu Jin, who had no idea how to write the word “objective” when it came to Gu Nianzhi.

“President Lu, do you know what my mother has been doing recently?” Gu Nianzhi started from the beginning, “... She’s been clamoring for revenge for me, so she requested to shoot Qin Zhining. Then, she waited for Qin Zhining’s biological brother, Qin Zhiyuan, to plead for mercy. She also said that she would spare Qin Zhining’s life as long as Young Master He handed over my ‘body’.”

Lu Yuan smiled. “So?”

“... so I was so disgusted that I really wanted to teach her a lesson. I wanted her to stop acting like a monster in the name of her mother.” Her face full of indignation, Gu Nianzhi clasped her hands together in front of her chest. “Also, what does Qin Zhining’s matter have to do with her? Why does he have to be executed? Is there a law? !”

Lu Yuan placed his iPad on the coffee table in front of him and reminded her, “I’ve heard about Qin Zhining, but I advise you not to make a fuss about it.”

Gu Nianzhi didn’t understand and asked back, “Why not? I thought this was a good place to start.”

“Think about it carefully. How long has Qin Yaoguang been calling for Qin Zhining to be shot?”L u Yuan broke the story down for Gu Nianzhi to hear. He was very patient and meticulous.

Gu Nianzhi was also very eager to learn. Her jade-like eyes turned slightly. “At least two weeks.”

“... has Qin Zhining been shot?”

Gu Nianzhi shook her head. “Of course not. If he’s already been shot, how can she negotiate with Qin Zhiyuan as a favor?”

“That’s right. He Chengjian is a sly old fox. How can he do whatever Qin Yaoguang wants him to do?” Lu Yuan tapped his fingers on the glass table. “See, in fact, she was the only one who was making a fuss and jumping up and down. After two weeks, there was no movement, so she had to find another gun to help her scout the way.”

Gu Nianzhi’s eyes widened in realization. “Huh? You mean, Qin Zhiyuan was also set up by her? Was he lured here by her?”

“Most likely.” Lu Yuan nodded. “I’m analyzing it from a common sense perspective. The Department Qin Zhining belongs to isn’t an ordinary department. All cases related to Qin Zhining are confidential. How could Qin Yaoguang meddle in Qin Zhining’s case?”

“But she’s my mother. Speaking as the victim’s mother, she does have some rights and significance,” Gu Nianzhi said resentfully, “I just plan to catch her off guard tonight and make her stop using my name to trick people.”
