Huo Shaoheng remained silent for a while, because the relationship between the interests of the officialdom and the shopping mall involved could not be explained clearly in one or two sentences, and he did not want Gu Nianzhi to know these complicated things for the time being.
He held Gu Nianzhi's hand and changed the subject in a deep voice: "... We won the lawsuit, where are we going to celebrate?"
Gu Nianzhi suddenly came back to his senses and glanced sideways at Huo Shaoheng: "... Mr. Huo, where is the principal you owe me? When do you plan to pay it back?"
Before going to court for the first time that day, Huo Shaoheng promised her to pay back the "interest" first and then the "principal"...
Before Huo Shaoheng could say anything, Yin Shixiong, who was sitting on the other side of Gu Nianzhi, asked in a very disgraceful manner: "Nianzhi, did you lend money to Mr. Huo? How much did you borrow? I'll pay you back when I get back."
He is Huo Shaoheng's personal secretary, and he is in charge of Huo Shaoheng's salary and expenses.
Zhao Liangze also turned around, frowned and said, "Nianzhi, even if you lend money to Mr. Huo, you still charge interest. Is it really good?"
He didn't say how much money he paid to Huo Shaoheng for raising Gu Nianzhi for six years, and later even gave him a house...
When Gu Nianzhi said "principal", they naturally thought of "interest".
Gu Nianzhi: "..."
I really want to kick these two idiots out and break them!
Huo Shaoheng didn't explain. He put one arm on the edge of the car window and held his head in a fist with his left hand. He looked at Gu Nianzhi with his lips slightly raised and said lightly: "Yes, I worked hard to raise her, but I borrowed it." Just pay some money, but you still need to charge interest. I’m really raising a white-eyed wolf... "
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but pinch Huo Shaoheng's hand.
Are you deliberately teasing her
Believe it or not, she immediately rushed over to him, kissed him, and "paid back" the interest he paid last time!
When Huo Shaoheng saw that her lower lip had two teeth marks, he gave up on teasing her and glanced at Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze. The warning was self-evident.
Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze touched their noses and stopped getting involved.
Huo Shaoheng lowered his head and asked Gu Nianzhi in a very gentle voice: "...how do you want to celebrate?"
Gu Nianzhi was not very angry to begin with, but Huo Shaoheng was willing to bend down and coax her with such a gentle voice. She immediately became angry and stopped pinching Huo Shaoheng's wrist secretly.
Holding his right arm, he rolled his eyes and said, "Brother Daxiong and Brother Ozawa are right. You are so good to me. If I lend you some money, I really shouldn't charge interest. Well, Mr. Huo, you too You don’t have to pay back the principal, I just want you to go shopping and buy things with me when you have a free day before the Spring Festival, okay?”
She actually just wanted to spend one day alone with Huo Shaoheng. Even if she did nothing but walked on the street with him, she would feel extremely satisfied.
Walking down the street like a couple...
Gu Nianzhi added silently in his heart.
Of course she wouldn't behave inappropriately, but holding hands would be okay, right
Gu Nianzhi looked at Huo Shaoheng expectantly, full of attachment and reliance, with an expression of trusting him wholeheartedly.
Even if he has a heart of stone, he still needs to soften in the face of Gu Nianzhi's expression.
Huo Shaoheng looked at Gu Nianzhi silently, raised his hand to rub her long hair, "Okay, which day do you want?"
"I can do it any day! It depends on what day is convenient for Mr. Huo!" Gu Nianzhi's eyes were bright, and the expression on his face was like a lit firework, brilliant and moving.
Yin Shixiong, who was sitting next to Gu Nianzhi, then said, "Nianzhi, would you like Brother Daxiong to go shopping with you?"
Gu Nianzhi was most angry with Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze today. If she had a light cord in her hand, she would immediately pull the light cord and extinguish these two big light bulbs.
She shook her head dissatisfiedly, sat closer to Huo Shaoheng, and muttered: "It's Mr. Huo who owes me money, not you?"
Yin Shixiong rolled his eyes at her and thought to himself, even if your sister-in-law goes shopping with Mr. Huo, how can we, the living secretaries, stay out of it
He knocked on Zhao Liangze who was sitting in the front seat, "Is Mr. Huo free recently?"
Zhao Liangze took out his electronic schedule and checked, "Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, so I will be free tomorrow. Today, Mr. Huo has to go to the Military Supreme Committee to attend the last Supreme Chiefs of Staff meeting of the year."
Huo Shaoheng is not the chief of staff, but the Special Operations Department he is responsible for has to make a work summary at the top year-end meeting of the military department once a year.
"Then tomorrow?!" Gu Nianzhi was overjoyed, clasping his hands in front of his chest, and stars almost appeared in his eyes.
Huo Shaoheng nodded, "Well, then tomorrow."
"Young Master Huo, you are so kind!" Gu Nianzhi couldn't help it anymore and rushed forward to hug Huo Shaoheng's neck and kiss him.
Huo Shaoheng stopped her, grabbed the back of her neck with one hand to hold her in place, and pulled the seat belt over to her with the other hand: "Sit tight and fasten your seat belt."
Yin Shixiong looked on with amusement and poked Gu Nianzhi on the shoulder: "Nianzhi, you are over eighteen years old. You can no longer cuddle and hug Mr. Huo like a child. We look fine, but others I saw it, but it caused trouble for Mr. Huo."
Gu Nianzhi glanced over, and Yin Shixiong felt that there was a "murderous intent" in Gu Nianzhi's eyes.
He was stunned for a moment, and when he looked again, there was only deep disdain in Gu Nianzhi's eyes. She twitched the corners of her lips and said coolly: "Isn't this why I am like this because of outsiders? I am not a fool, how could I do this? Doing this in front of outsiders..."
If she hadn't been worried about Huo Shaoheng being there, she would have rolled her eyes to the sky.
"I know, I'm just reminding you." Yin Shixiong snarled, feeling that Gu Nianzhi was getting more and more naughty. He always talked back to him, and his eloquence was getting better and better. He, who was recognized as a good talker, couldn't speak to her. Okay, I’m so tired...
Gu Nianzhi also knew that Yin Shixiong was right, but she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and she couldn't let it out in front of Huo Shaoheng, so she could only sniff, lean on the car seat and hang her head, looking glum.
When Zhao Liangze saw Gu Nianzhi in the rearview mirror of the front seat, he felt sorry for her and wanted to help her: "Daxiong, you are also troublesome. Is Nianzhi the kind of person who doesn't know what's important? Besides, Nianzhi is now He has just turned eighteen and is still young. Now that Mr. Huo doesn’t have a girlfriend or fiancée, I can still lust after him. When Mr. Huo has someone in the future, it will be impossible for him to lust after him, right? "
It was okay if Zhao Liangze didn't persuade him, but this advice made Gu Nianzhi want to cry even more.
Brother Ozawa, you will die if you don't speak!
However, Yin Shixiong felt that what Zhao Liangze said was very reasonable and nodded repeatedly: "Well said, well said! Xiaoze, you are getting better and better at speaking, and you are a bit like me!"
Zhao Liangze turned around and raised his middle finger towards Yin Shixiong, giving him a look of disdain.
Gu Nianzhi's face suddenly turned pale.
Her left hand was originally holding Huo Shaoheng's wrist, but as soon as she let go in shock, Huo Shaoheng quickly held her hand.
Gu Nianzhi was a little unhappy, and secretly tried hard to free his hand from Huo Shaoheng's big palm.
But Huo Shaoheng held her hand firmly, and his grip became tighter and tighter, but not so hard that it hurt her and made it impossible for her to break free.
Today, Huo Shaoheng only wore an iron-gray military-style alpaca coat over a dark blue shirt. It was not a military uniform, so he dressed more casually.
He sat upright and showed no signs of being strange at all, but he put one hand in his wide sleeve and intertwined with Gu Nianzhi's fingers.
No matter how noisy Gu Nianzhi's little hands were in his palm, even if he pinched his palm with his newly grown nails, his expression remained unchanged. No one in the car knew that the two of them were still fighting in the sleeves of his coat. "lawsuit".
Gu Nianzhi struggled for a while and felt that his arms were tired, but Huo Shaoheng still looked unmoving and silent.
He lowered his eyes to look at her, and the words "Don't make trouble" were written in his deep eyes, as if she was making trouble unreasonably.
Gu Nianzhi felt ashamed again and stopped struggling. He held his hands and sat there for a while. Feeling unwilling to do so, and seeing that there was no one else in the car, he slowly tilted his head and leaned lightly on Huo Shaoheng's shoulder.
Huo Shaoheng did not move away, but he also did not move his body to make her lean more comfortably. He just maintained his original posture and remained motionless.
Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze began to prepare for Huo Shaoheng's meeting today and his trip tomorrow. They were busy nervously and did not notice Gu Nianzhi's emotional changes at all.
Gu Nianzhi leaned on Huo Shaoheng's shoulder, and her mood slowly calmed down. Although she was still a little sour, she thought this was human nature.
If she didn't feel any emotion after hearing those words, she would have to doubt whether she really liked Huo Shaoheng...
Back at the headquarters of the Special Operations Division, Huo Shaoheng's special car drove all the way to the door of his official residence.
The car door opened, and Fan Jian who was driving, Zhao Liangze who was sitting in the front row, and Yin Shixiong who was sitting in the back row got out one after another to prepare for Huo Shaoheng's meeting at the military headquarters.
Only Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng were left in the car.
Huo Shaoheng finally let go of his hand.
The two of them held hands all the way, and when they let go, they both felt a little uncomfortable.
Gu Nianzhi rubbed his left hand, looked at Huo Shaoheng, and asked softly: "Master Huo is going to a meeting?"
"Yeah." Huo Shaoheng responded, "You're tired these days, go to bed early."
Gu Nianzhi originally wanted to ask him when he would come back for dinner in the evening, but Huo Shaoheng said this, indicating that he would not come back to have dinner with her.
"Okay." Gu Nianzhi didn't look happy at all. She pouted slightly, thinking about what Zhao Liangze said, it felt like there was a thorn in her heart.
Since this thorn has been planted, who knows what will happen if it is not pulled out immediately
Gu Nianzhi didn't want to keep this thorn for the New Year.
She held Huo Shaoheng's arm and glanced around to make sure no one was around. Then she leaned into Huo Shaoheng's ear and asked him softly: "... Mr. Huo, if you have another girlfriend or fiancée in the future, you won't Are you paying attention to me?"
Huo Shaoheng glanced at her calmly, peeled her off from him, put her on the seat and said calmly: "Of course. If you are not my fiancée, why should I care about you?"
Tears welled up in Gu Nianzhi's eyes. She couldn't help but start beating Huo Shaoheng: "No, no! Even if you have a wife, you still have to take care of me!"
She couldn't imagine Huo Shaoheng ignoring her.
In the past, she thought she could stay away from Huo Shaoheng and leave quietly when he had other feelings.
Now I know that this is very difficult to do.
At least for now, she can't do it at all.
"Mr. Huo, please don't find another girlfriend, okay?" Gu Nianzhi begged him softly, and unknowingly she was half-lying in his arms, "You said I'd seduced you, and you're mine. How can you keep your word?"
"I didn't mean what I said." Huo Shaoheng was still sitting upright, but he put an arm around Gu Nianzhi's waist. "I told you that you flirted with me, and I am yours. You can continue flirting."
"Then what should you do if someone else takes you away?" People in love will inevitably worry about gains and losses. Strong and confident people like Gu Nianzhi will sometimes ask such unconfident questions.
Huo Shaoheng touched her face and said, "Then you have to work harder and do better than others."
"I've never flirted with others... I don't have enough experience..." Gu Nianzhi said intermittently, "Should I find someone else to practice my skills with? Give it a try..."
"Gu Nianzhi, how dare you try to seduce someone else." Huo Shaoheng interrupted Gu Nianzhi, feeling slightly displeased with what she said.
Gu Nianzhi looked at Huo Shaoheng for a while and asked timidly: "Master Huo, are you worried that I will flirt with others?"
Huo Shaoheng lowered his eyes and looked at her for a while, then said nonchalantly: "Well, you're not good at flirting. I'm worried that you'll embarrass me."
Gu Nianzhi said "Ah" and punched Huo Shaoheng several times unhappily, "How could I embarrass you? I'm very powerful. If you don't believe me, just wait and see!"
She puffed out her cheeks and looked at Huo Shaoheng, her features looking particularly lively and beautiful.
Huo Shaoheng didn't want to push her too hard. Sometimes too much pressure would be counterproductive.
Just like a rubber band, if it's too tight it will fall apart.
"Be obedient." Huo Shaoheng tightened his arms and hugged her to his side, "Don't flirt with others. If I find out, I will break your legs."
"Master Huo, are you jealous?" Gu Nianzhi looked at Huo Shaoheng suspiciously.
But Huo Shaoheng's expression was so calm that no change in his mood could be seen at all.
"I'm never jealous." Huo Shaoheng patted her face, "Stop thinking so wildly, I still have a meeting, so be good."
"...Okay, you should go to bed early. You will go out with me for a day tomorrow." Gu Nianzhi reminded Huo Shaoheng again.
"Don't worry." Huo Shaoheng nodded, "Tomorrow is yours."
Gu Nianzhi felt much better and stretched out a palm towards Huo Shaoheng: "Keep your word!"
Snapped!
Huo Shaoheng also stretched out his palm and patted her.
Gu Nianzhi happily got out of the car and did not enter the house immediately. Instead, he stood at the door, waved to Huo Shaoheng's car and watched him go away.
After turning around and entering Huo Shaoheng's official residence, Gu Nianzhi immediately returned to his room, planning to tidy up after himself.
First, I take a shower and wash my hair, then apply various skin care products all over my body. I also apply facial masks continuously on my face, including hydrating, exfoliating, whitening, and nourishing masks one by one, using the most intensive procedures to give the skin the greatest care.
Although she is already fair enough, she still has to stock up on a box of whitening masks.
After this set of procedures was completed, three or four gorgeous hours passed.
After she took a shower, she wrapped her head, then went to the closet to look for clothes to wear when going out tomorrow. She spent a long time matching them, and finally selected a pea green cashmere turtleneck pullover and slim trousers, which could be paired with boots. , wearing that fur coat.
Coupled with Hermès's blue and purple rudder scarf and big Prada floating sunglasses, it will definitely look trendy and handsome.
Girls naturally like to tinker with these outfits.
She spent the whole afternoon in her room without realizing it.
When she finished cleaning up and came out of the room to have dinner, her whole person seemed to be glowing, which could only be described as radiant.
…
Song Jinning was the only one sitting there in the restaurant.
Seeing Gu Nianzhi walking in radiantly, Song Jinning put down the iPad in his hand, smiled and nodded to Gu Nianzhi: "Seeing that you are in such a good mood, the lawsuit must have been won, right?"
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
After she came back, she remembered to be busy with her own affairs, and she actually forgot to tell Song Jinning about the lawsuit.
Gu Nianzhi hurriedly sat down opposite Song Jinning, and first told her the result of Bai Jinyi's sentence, "...death penalty, but suspended for two years."
Song Jinning stirred a bowl of sea cucumber soup in his hand and said in deep thought: "The Bai family is so powerful that if the death penalty is not executed immediately, he probably won't die."
Gu Nianzhi put his hands on the dining table and said unconvinced: "I know, so I will keep an eye on that side. As long as they dare to rub Bai Jinyi up and down, I will never let them go."
Song Jinning did not persuade Gu Nianzhi to settle the matter. She nodded heavily: "I don't understand the law, but I know how to pay for one's life and pay one's debt. Since Bai Jinyi killed Luo Xinxue, she must pay for her life."
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but clapped her hands, "Aunt Song, what you said is so good! Although I study law, I also believe in killing people to pay their lives and debts to pay their money! So I have never been in favor of abolishing the death penalty."
Our ancestors all said, repay evil with kindness, why repay kindness with kindness
Why do murderers get more attention than their victims
Asking for life for a murderer, have you thought about the consequences of doing so
Just like the minors protection law, it does not protect real minors and only encourages criminal behavior among minors.
Song Jinning smiled and listened to Gu Nianzhi talking endlessly about her opinions on the law. She nodded from time to time, echoed twice, and then said a few words like a nod, so that Gu Nianzhi could talk more.
The two talked happily and took another bottle of red wine, drinking and chatting at the same time.
I actually ate dinner for two hours and still wasn’t satisfied.
When Huo Shaoheng came back, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. He took off his coat and handed it to the orderly, and asked casually: "Are Mrs. Song and Nian Zhi both asleep?"
The orderly smiled: "Hello, chief! - Mrs. Song and Miss Nianzhi are still having dinner in the restaurant."
"Still eating?" Huo Shaoheng was very surprised, "How long have you been eating?"
"It's been more than two hours. Originally we were just casually having dinner, but then Miss Gu said she wanted to drink, so she ordered a bottle of red wine to drink with Mrs. Song."
Huo Shaoheng walked to the restaurant and saw that there was more than one red wine bottle on the table, and there were already two empty bottles...
Gu Nianzhi was so drunk that he kept shaking the empty bottle. He opened his big misty eyes and said blankly: "... Huh? Why can't it be poured out? There is obviously still more?"
