Chapter 1642 - I Can Do It Too

More and more people began to gather around the entrance of the lounge. Xie Qingying and her best friend stood at the door and witnessed everything.

“I said, apologize to Miss Gu.” He Zhichu calmly took a step forward. “Your nonsense just now not only damaged Miss Gu’s reputation, but also polluted our ears.”

Qin Haoshan’s face flushed even more from He Zhichu’s shaming. He glared hatefully at Gu Nianzhi. However, seeing that He Zhichu did not mind Gu Nianzhi’s harsh words just now, he knew that Gu Nianzhi still had a high position in He Zhichu’s heart. Therefore, he did not continue to argue with Gu Nianzhi. Of course, he did not apologize either. He turned around and walked away with a straight face.

Gu Nianzhi, who was watching from behind, did not mind the drama. She urged him, “Look, Young Master He, your words are useless. He doesn’t care about you at all.”

“Yes, it’s quite embarrassing.” He Zhichu gave a half-hearted smile and said, “But what can I do? I can only forgive him. But from now on, wherever he appears, I can only not appear.”

He Zhichu’s words completely cut off any chance Qin Haoshan had of being in the upper echelons of the Huaxia Empire.

He would never be able to go any further.

Unless he apologized to Gu Nianzhi, and she was willing to forgive him.

Otherwise, Qin Haoshan would never be able to receive any invitations whenever He Zhichu appeared in the future.

Because between him and He Zhichu, who would the organizers choose? Needless to say?

Gu Nianzhi clicked her tongue. “Young Master He, you’re too ruthless, but I like it.”

He Zhichu’s depressed mood was miraculously healed. He rubbed her head and smiled again.

..

Qin Haoshan walked to the door with a livid expression on his face. Huo Shaoheng crossed his arms and stood in front of him. He said the same thing, “Apologize. Apologize to Miss Gu.”

Qin Haoshan did not dare to lose his temper with He Zhichu, but he was different with Huo Shaoheng.

He was just a Soviet diplomat, yet he had to meddle in the affairs of the Huaxia Empire’s people?

Qin Haoshan did not even look at him. He pushed him away and continued to walk out.

Huo Shaoheng reached out with lightning speed and grabbed Qin Haoshan’s outstretched arm. His other hand grabbed Qin Haoshan’s chin and twisted it, causing Qin Haoshan’s jaw to dislocate.

“Since you’re not going to apologize, then don’t say anything for the time being.” Huo Shaoheng clapped his hands, as if he was brushing off the dust on his hands.

Qin Haoshan felt his wrist being gripped like an iron pincer, and he couldn’t break free at all.

Only when Huo Shaoheng let go of him could he hold his chin, glare at Huo Shaoheng, and quickly run out.

When he ran past Xie Qingying, Xie Qingying sighed and said, “I didn’t expect Mr. Qin to be such a person. From now on, I won’t dare to go anywhere Mr. Qin appears.”

It could be said that no one’s words had dealt a greater blow to Qin Haoshan than Xie Qingying’s.

His face instantly turned pale. He wanted to say something, but his jaw was dislocated and he couldn’t say anything. He could only run quickly toward the place where his helicopter was parked with his head lowered.

Soon, the sound of the helicopter’s roar could be heard above Xiangxuehai. The helicopter from the Qin Corporation’s Private Hospital flew away.

..

Gu Nianzhi snorted in disdain. “Party pooper.”

She turned to look at He Zhichu and said unhappily, “Young Master He, I want to go home.”

“Okay, I’ll take you home.” He Zhichu nodded.

Huo Shaoheng hurried over and said, “I can take her home. It’s along the way.”

Gu Nianzhi deliberately ignored him and smiled at He Zhichu. “Thank you, Young Master He.”

He Zhichu patted her shoulder. “I’ll wait for you outside.”

He Zhichu walked out of the lounge first, and Gu Nianzhi was about to follow him.

Huo Shaoheng caught up with her in large strides. He grabbed her wrist at lightning speed and smiled. “Miss Gu, give me a chance...”

There were so many people watching, so Gu Nianzhi showed no mercy. She slapped the back of Huo Shaoheng’s hand and said, “Let go! How many times have I told you? It’s impossible.”

She pushed Huo Shaoheng’s hand away and quickly walked to the door.

However, Xie Qingying stood at the door and quietly stopped her.

Gu Nianzhi looked at her in surprise. “Cousin Xie, is something the matter?”

Xie Qingying had a disapproving look on her face as she said lightly, “Nianzhi, I think you should apologize to He Zhichu as well.”

Gu Nianzhi hadn’t noticed the embarrassed and awkward expression that had flashed through He Zhichu’s eyes earlier, but Xie Qingying had seen it clearly.

At that moment, her heart ached for this man. She felt like she loved him more than ever.

Because she loved him, she couldn’t bear to see him suffer in the slightest bit.

Gu Nianzhi didn’t understand. “Huh? Why? Did I offend Young Master He?”

She thought about what had happened, but still didn’t understand what she had done wrong.

Xie Qingying saw this and pulled her into the lounge. She motioned for her best friend to take the crowd away. She then said to Gu Nianzhi, “You just said in front of Qin Haoshan that you didn’t want to marry Young Master He, so you broke off the engagement with him. Have you thought about how humiliating this is for a man?”

Gu Nianzhi: “...”

She blinked her big black eyes at Xie Qingying and gradually felt wronged, “But when Qin Haoshan humiliated me just now, none of you stood up for me. You just stood at the door and watched the show. Now you’re saying that I’m in the wrong. What can I do? Am I the grass on the ground that he can step on as he pleases?!”

She was like a little hedgehog. Anything that had to do with Qin Yaoguang or the Qin family would make all the thorns over her body stand up.

She couldn’t care less. The person who could protect her weren’t here. so was she in the wrong to protect herself?

Gu Nianzhi’s eyes were red.

Huo Shaoheng saw her from the side and felt his heart ache. He quickly walked over and put a hand on Gu Nianzhi’s shoulder. He said to Xie Qingying calmly, “It’s understandable that Miss Xie wants to please her lover, but you can’t make others do the same for your lover.”

Huo Shaoheng pulled Gu Nianzhi into his arms and said to Xie Qingying coldly, “Don’t ever let me see you talk to Miss Gu like that again. You even said that you’re Miss Gu’s relative, yet you’re trying to help an outsider.” With that said, he led Gu Nianzhi out of the lounge, leaving Xie Qingying standing there awkwardly.

She thought about it carefully and felt ashamed.

The Soviet diplomat was right.

Even though Gu Nianzhi was her biological cousin, she was more concerned about He Zhichu, who had nothing to do with her.

When Gu Nianzhi had a conflict with He Zhichu, she almost immediately stood on He Zhichu’s side.

Realizing this, Xie Qingying knew that her little superficial friendship with Gu Nianzhi had also disappeared.

It wasn’t that she didn’t feel regret.

..

Gu Nianzhi’s feelings were ambivalent as she was brought to He Zhichu’s helicopter by Huo Shaoheng.

“Do you still want to take his helicopter?” Huo Shaoheng adjusted the collar of Gu Nianzhi’s coat.

Gu Nianzhi looked at Huo Shaoheng in a daze and suddenly said, “Mr. Peter, do you know? There was once a person who let me know how good it was to live in this world.”

“With him by my side, no one can humiliate me so brazenly.”

Huo Shaoheng: “...”

Her big eyes filled with tears that were about to fall, Gu Nianzhi looked at him expectantly.

Huo Shaoheng touched her head without batting an eye.”... I can do it too. I will treat you so well in the future. With me by your side, no one can humiliate you so brazenly.”
