The Huo family's living room on the laptop screen is beautifully decorated, with bouquets of white roses everywhere. The entire wall facing the door to the living room is a wall of roses.
Gu Nianzhi twitched the corners of his lips and whispered: "...Is this an engagement? Why does it look like a wedding..."
A ceremonial stage was set up under the rose wall, two steps higher than the ground. It was originally made of oak, but was made shiny by white roses, but it looked like the luster of rosewood.
The Huo family's living room is very large. The sofa and coffee table in the middle were moved and turned into an empty dance floor.
The guests were either rich or noble, well-dressed, all holding cocktail glasses in their hands, standing together in twos and threes, whispering and laughing.
Men wear a black tuxedo, and women wear all kinds of evening gowns, with exposed shoulders at the back, or V-necks with exposed breasts, high slits all the way up to expose the thighs, or even the entire evening gown is made of hollow lace. The skin all over the body is looming, with only a shawl on it.
The jewelry worn around the neck and hands is low-key and luxurious, and each piece is a top-notch treasure that has been auctioned off at Sotheby's or Christie's auction houses.
The man and woman standing on the oak ceremonial stage under the wall of roses were undoubtedly the focus of the audience.
They are Huo Shaoheng's father, Huo Guanchen, director of the Political Department of the Military Ministry, and Bai Jinyi, director of the Institute of High Energy Physics.
Huo Guanchen is already fifty years old, but he is well maintained. He looks to be forty years old at most. He has short, lean black hair and a strong outline with handsome and deep features. He is still similar to Huo Shaoheng's restrained and calm demeanor.
There was no smile on his face, but he was not sad either. He just stood on the ceremonial stage with a calm face, his other hand resting on the waist of the female companion next to him.
His female companion Bai Jinyi was also carefully groomed, but time was not forgiving. She often traveled around the world, doing experiments at sea or in the wilderness, so she was not as well maintained as Huo Guanchen.
Her complexion was originally tanned, but it had just regained its wheat color, but the deep wrinkles at the corners of her eyes could not be covered up by any amount of foundation and concealer.
She has a relatively thin figure, and the modified white cheongsam dress is still too loose for her body. A pair of bright white satin high heels from Manolo-Blahnik under her feet make her look swaying, and she is still very charming.
Bai Yueran wore a blue-purple organza chest-wrapped gown, holding a crystal cup in her hand. She stood next to her father Bai Jiancheng, looking at her aunt Bai Jinyi under the wall of roses opposite, and raised her cup from a distance.
"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet." A master of ceremonies wearing a black tuxedo knocked on the wine glass in his hand on the ceremonial stage, "The engagement ceremony of Admiral Huo and Director Bai is about to begin."
The noisy living room immediately fell silent, and everyone turned their attention to the newlyweds standing under the rose wall.
"Thank you all for coming to witness our engagement ceremony." Huo Guanchen nodded to the guests in the audience, "I hope everyone can eat well, drink well, have fun, and give us blessings while celebrating the New Year."
The master of ceremonies walked up to them with a smile and asked: "Admiral Huo, are you willing to get engaged to Bai Jinyi? Let's go to the palace of marriage together in the future?"
Huo Guanchen was silent for a long time, looking at Bai Jinyi who was silent in front of him in a daze, and smiled, "...I do."
He took out a box with a ring, knelt down on one knee and presented it to Bai Jinyi, "Jinyi, will you marry me?"
Bai Jinyi was really moved at this time, and tears fell involuntarily. She stared at Huo Guanchen's face and nodded, "I do."
The audience immediately burst into thunderous applause.
Huo Guanchen stood up from the ground, kissed Bai Jinyi's cheek, and then put a six-carat pear-shaped yellow diamond ring on her.
Bai Jinyi smiled and waved to everyone. Under the light of the crystal lamp, the diamond ring emitted seven-color rainbow light, with excellent transparency and saturation.
The living room of the Huo family was filled with laughter, loud applause, the popping of champagne, and countless petals falling from the sky onto the rose stand.
After Huo Guanchen and Bai Jinyi exchanged engagement rings, the main part of the engagement ceremony was completed.
…
Huo Shaoheng sent an instruction to Zhao Liangze to cut off video sharing, and his car suddenly became eerily quiet.
Song Jinning's chest was rising and falling, and it took him all his strength to resist the urge to scream and cry.
She thought about the two people she had just seen on the laptop screen. They were obviously the two people she was most familiar with, but at this moment they seemed like strangers.
She didn't recognize them, she didn't recognize them at all.
Song Jinning covered her face and leaned against the car window on the other side.
Gu Nianzhi turned to look at her and wanted to sit over and comfort her, but was held back by Huo Shaoheng.
She turned back, looked at Huo Shaoheng inquiringly, and pointed at Song Jinning, who was in great pain.
Huo Shaoheng leaned over and said in her ear in a very low voice: "... Leave her alone for a while."
Gu Nianzhi blinked his big eyes and pursed his pink, water chestnut lips in disapproval.
Without further explanation, Huo Shaoheng took the laptop away from Gu Nianzhi's lap and glanced at Gu Nianzhi's long boots under the long down jacket and the large tutu that reached just above the knees.
Gu Nianzhi hurriedly pulled down the hem of her skirt with her hands, and said sarcastically: "...it looks longer when you stand up, but a little short when you sit down."
Huo Shaoheng looked away, turned on the computer, and started working.
Gu Nianzhi saw that the two people around him had no intention of talking, so he could only recall in his mind the information she asked Zhao Liangze to collect about Bai Jinyi.
This is the result from yesterday to this afternoon.
Although the time was short, Zhao Liangze still tried his best to dig out many things about Bai Jinyi.
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.
Gu Nianzhi knew that if he wanted to file a lawsuit, he had to do all these homework.
Bai Jinyi is indeed very smart, hard-working, and has a good background. Maybe she is just unlucky and too strong, so she made one mistake after another, and ended up where she is now.
But since a mistake has been made, it cannot be treated as if it never happened.
The few people were speechless all the way and soon drove back to Huo Zhai.
When Huo Shaoheng got off the special car with Song Jinning and Gu Nianzhi, the servants at the door of the Huo family almost had their eyes popping out.
"Eldest... eldest young master! Didn't the eldest lady say you won't come back?!"
"Well, I changed my mind." Huo Shaoheng said confidently, turning around and looking at Gu Nianzhi: "You and my mother will go in first."
Gu Nianzhi nodded, took Song Jinning's arm, and walked into Huo's house.
Huo Shaoheng did not rush in, but immediately ordered his orderlies to take over the defense of Huo's house, and guarded all the servants who used to be gatekeepers of the Huo family, and did not allow them to go inside to deliver news.
Then he got back in the car and ordered Zhao Liangze to share the video again.
He wanted to know everything that happened in Huo's house.
…
"Admiral Huo, today is the day when you and Director Bai are engaged. The ten-year long love journey will be completed today. What do you think you would like to share with everyone?" The engagement ceremony in the Huo family's living room is still at the end. Now It is a time for newlyweds to share their love experiences.
The master of ceremonies smiled and turned aside to let Huo Guanchen come up.
Huo Guanchen and Bai Jinyi both wear headphones with built-in microphones, so they can speak to everyone without a microphone.
"I am very grateful to Jin Yi for my ten years of love. If she is willing to get engaged, I will get engaged to her. If she is willing to get married, I will get married to her." Huo Guanchen's deep voice came from the microphone of the laptop. His voice was a bit hoarse and old. He must have been I was so excited that I spoke very slowly.
Tears welled up in Bai Jinyi's eyes. She stepped forward and held Huo Guanchen's hand: "Guanchen, we have known each other for six years and been in love for ten years. I didn't know you loved me and doted on me so much. If I knew, I would I married you ten years ago..."
At this moment, a crisp burst of applause came from the door of the Huo family's living room, breaking the tranquility of the living room.
Everyone turned around and saw two dazzlingly beautiful women appearing in front of everyone.
The older, mature woman was wearing a rouge red fishtail skirt with sloping shoulders. Her appearance was so beautiful that people were speechless, and her figure was so good that it made people suffocate just by looking at her.
The woman next to her is very young, like a beautiful girl in a comic book. She is wearing a pretty pea green and snow-white tutu skirt, high boots, and long hair like a waterfall on her back. She is too beautiful to be true.
It was the young woman who was applauding.
Anyone who recognized her in the living room immediately widened their eyes.
"Gu Nianzhi?! What are you doing here?" Huo Jialan was the first to separate from the others and walked over.
Without looking at her, Gu Nianzhi said distantly to a pair of newlyweds under the rose wall at the other end of the living room: "So this is what Physicist Bai has been doing for the past sixteen years. It took you sixteen years to do it. The experiment cannot be rebuilt. It took you sixteen years, but your best friend, Mrs. Admiral Huo, is still sick and unconscious. —That’s it.”
"The drunkard doesn't care about the wine, but the mountains and rivers. The white physicist doesn't care about his best friend's illness, but his best friend's husband." Gu Nianzhi also wore a hidden microphone, so her words It can also be clearly spread to every corner of the hall, "Tsk tsk, you disregarded the interests of the country and hooked up with Mrs. Song's husband under the guise of treating her. You are so nakedly pretending to be public for personal gain. It is no longer a matter of character, but of It’s a question of IQ. No wonder you can’t repeat an experiment after repeating it for sixteen years... "
Someone in the living room couldn't help it anymore and burst out laughing.
Bai Jinyi was immediately extremely embarrassed and clenched her fists tightly, wishing she could rush over to gag Gu Nianzhi and strangle him to death. —Dare to question her IQ? ! This is her inverse scale and her Achilles heel. This makes her even more angry than saying she has a bad character!
Gu Nianzhi looked at her proudly and smiled.
Judging from the information she obtained about Bai Jinyi, Gu Nianzhi very sensitively deduced what Bai Jinyi's Achilles' heel was, so she was going to step on her Achilles' heel.
"Gu Nianzhi!" Huo Jialan was furious when he heard this, and shouted loudly: "Where are the people? Come on! Drive them out! How did they get in without an invitation?!"
"Miss Huo, please give in first. It's not your engagement ceremony. Why are you taking over the honors? Just wait and see." Gu Nianzhi's venomous tongue can make people angry to death.
Huo Jialan's face turned purple after being choked by her words. She wanted to push her, but several female soldiers rushed out from Gu Nianzhi's side, protecting her and Song Jinning, and pushed Huo Jialan aside.
Bai Jinyi's expression changed at this moment, and her eyes fell on the silent beautiful woman beside Gu Nianzhi.
As soon as Huo Guanchen saw this woman, he could no longer take his eyes away.
Gu Nianzhi and Song Jinning walked step by step toward the rose wall on the other side of the living room without squinting their eyes.
The crowd in the living room unanimously made a way and watched silently.
Bai Yueran narrowed her eyes, moved closer to her father, and whispered: "Father and mother, please leave first, I am here." After a pause, he added: "Take your third uncle and your third aunt away with you."
Bai Jiancheng didn't move and whispered: "Stop being busy, you won't be able to leave. It seems that Huo Shaoheng has been prepared."
Bai Yueran's eyes quickly scanned the living room and said no more.
Here, Gu Nianzhi and Song Jinning had already walked to the wall of roses, looking up at the newlyweds on the ceremonial stage.
"Physicist Bai, you will definitely not be able to get away with the crime of sabotaging a military marriage. Let me ask you, ten years ago, you forged evidence to slander the reputation of Mrs. Song, who was seriously ill, and at the same time cuckolded General Huo , causing them to divorce. - Is this how you treat Admiral Huo, who loves you and dotes on you?"
