Fudong showed off his cooking skills and cooked a whole table full of dishes, mainly vegetarian. Huazhi sent someone to call Berlin and Ajian.
In formal occasions, Hua Zhi always abides by the rule of not talking while eating, but in private she doesn't take it seriously. Influenced by her, several people do the same, but they also won't talk while holding food in their mouths.
Shaoyao ate very quickly without interrupting her conversation. With every bite she criticized the food in the palace. People who didn't know the whole story would think the palace was a place of misery.
Ah Jian kept nodding his head, with an expression that showed that Sister Shaoyao was right. He also felt that the food in the palace was extremely unpalatable.
Hua Zhi listened and felt that the people in the palace were very pitiful. This was really...
A piece of food fell into the bowl with chopsticks, and Hua Zhi looked up.
Gu Yanxi put down his chopsticks and met her gaze, "Eat more."
Hua Zhi forced a smile and lowered her head to put the food into her mouth bit by bit. Even if it tasted like chewing wax, she didn't want to let others down.
Gu Yanxi knew the reason why she was forcing a smile. She always thought ten steps ahead before taking one step. She probably thought of the consequences that almost happened when she knew about the things. With her caring nature for her family, she didn't know how angry she was. She must have gone through a lot of psychological preparation before she could pretend to be nothing happened and walk around the house.
She will not let others share her anger and sadness. She puts her family behind her and puts herself in a position to stand tall and upright. She is the one who will bear the brunt of the consequences.
He didn't know whether the Hua family felt sorry for her, but he really did.
The meal was very lively. Shaoyao burped and insisted on having dinner as well. Huazhi couldn't stand her nagging and had to agree.
Shaoyao smiled immediately, she was not completely clueless, she knew that Brother Yan must have something going on if he was willing to bring her out today, and when she saw that Huahua only ate half a bowl of rice, she became even more certain, and she took the two children away on the pretext of checking Xiaoliu's health.
Hua Zhi stood up and bowed solemnly, "On behalf of everyone in the Hua family, I would like to thank Mr. Lu for his great kindness."
"No need to do that. I'm glad I could help." Gu Yanxi lifted her up and helped her sit down again before retracting her hand. "It's over. Don't make yourself feel bad about it. She's not worth it."
"I know it's not worth it, but I'm really angry." Hua Zhi shook her head, unwilling to say more. She was not used to pour out her heart to others, let alone complain. She would rather think about how to solve her problem with this time.
Gu Yanxi glanced outside and said, "Song Chenghao came here to report the death today."
"Ignore him. I always feel that he will set his sights on the Hua family." Whether it is the Hua family's golden signboard or the business she has now, Song Chenghao has no chance of getting involved.
"Don't you plan to go to the Song family?"
Hua Zhi raised her eyebrows and said, "Go, why not? This is a good opportunity to break away from the Song family, of course I have to go."
Gu Yanxi's eyes narrowed, "You're going there in person?"
"I'm the only one who can do this."
"You know you won't be able to rest peacefully once you show up."
"Because of this face?" Hua Zhi smiled, "Mr. Lu thinks too highly of me. Any girl from the Hua family is no less beautiful than me."
Far from it. A person's excellence is not just about her face, but also about her bearing, her words and deeds, her temperament. If she were born with a good-looking appearance, it would be enough to look down on all the girls in the capital who think they are full of knowledge. Ah Zhi can do everything they can do, and she can also do things they can't do. How can they be compared
But Gu Yanxi didn't say it. He was not worried that there would be many more opponents in the future. He was more worried that Azhi would have many more troubles in the future after coming into the public eye.
Those who follow the Hua family know that the canned food business belongs to the Hua family. The green moss lane, which is full of vitality and has become a scene in Beijing, is also created by the Hua family. When Ah Zhi goes out and her excellence is known to others, it will no longer be a secret that she is the actual owner of these businesses. Then...
Some people may not be able to help but take action. Whether they capture the person and use him for their own purposes, or destroy the person, no one will get what they want, and the Hua family will also be unable to make a comeback.
Gu Yanxi looked at Ah Zhi with burning eyes, "Have you thought about the consequences?"
"I've thought about it, but I can't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Besides, I can't hide it anyway." Those families that have favors or grudges against the Hua family are all very powerful. She can't hide her movements from others. They may not like it for the time being, but when her business gets bigger and bigger and the money she earns reaches a point where they can't bear it anymore, will they just sit there and watch
They won't. They will try every possible way to get these things. This is the bad nature of human beings. Instead of being so passive, it is better to put herself on the table from the beginning and let everyone want to take advantage of her, but no one can take advantage of her. Moreover, she has the Zhu family behind her, as well as a certain force that she brings in with every transaction. With the balance of multiple parties, not everyone will dare to touch her.
Besides, isn't there Qisusi? The profit from the mushroom business is not small. It was agreed from the beginning that it was used to exchange for protection, so it can't be said that she took advantage.
Gu Yanxi said no more. He said that Ahzhi could do whatever she wanted and he would never stand in her way.
He turned his head to look at the sky again, smiling broadly, and his whole body looked soft, "Want to go out for a walk?"
Hua Zhi looked outside in surprise at the dark sky, "Now?"
Gu Yanxi nodded.
Hua Zhi nodded after a little hesitation. She was really feeling suffocated today and it would be nice to go out for a walk.
As for the physical contact between men and women, well, that has no restraint on her at all.
After packing up a bit, Hua Zhi put on her veil and prepared to go out. The maids were extremely anxious and looked at Madam Su one after another. How could she keep her reputation by going out so late at night
Madam Su motioned for everyone to stay. She stepped forward alone and said softly while helping Hua Zhi straighten her clothes: "Miss, please take this old servant with you."
Before Hua Zhi could say anything, Gu Yanxi agreed, "Follow me."
Nanny Su breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Gu Yanxi secretly. She didn't look like she had any bad intentions.
A completely black carriage without any markings was parked outside the corner gate. Chen Qing suppressed his excitement and stood aside, leading the horse. When he saw several people coming out, his eyes lit up and he bowed.
The interior of the carriage was quite large, more than enough to accommodate the master and his three servants.
While shaking, Hua Zhi lifted the curtain and looked outside. There was a curfew in the Daqing Dynasty, but it was quite late. The curfew started at three o'clock in the morning and ended at five o'clock. There were still quite a lot of people on the road at this time.
"Speaking of which, this is my first time going out at night." Hua Zhi let down the curtain and sighed, "There may not be many girls who have this kind of experience. It's all thanks to Mr. Lu."
"If you like, I'll take you out often in the future."
Hua Zhi shook her head. "Most of the time I actually like to live a comfortable life in a small world, cook some delicious food, read a good book, and paint a picture when I feel like it. This kind of life is comfortable."
Gu Yanxi nodded, "As you wish."
"..." Hua Zhi felt that the two words "Mr. Lu" sounded like he was flirting with her.
PS: I am a bit tired from writing, and there is nothing in my mind. I will take a break for Mother's Day, and I will update once today. I updated twice yesterday, but it may not be shown on the bookshelf, so the girls thought I only updated once. If it was one update, Kong Kong would tell me. In addition, I will try to update three times a day after I am done with this period. The main reason is that I have to write two chapters of novels and scripts recently, and my brain is too tired.
