"Eh? Miss Gu, why do I see you again?" Yin Shixiong greeted her curiously, "Are you here to meet friends in the hotel?"
Gu Yanran smiled bitterly and shook her head, "I can't live in my house anymore..." She started crying again.
Zhao Liangze hurriedly pulled Yin Shixiong away and whispered in his ear: "You are very happy to be a light bulb! Can Miss Gu talk to you?"
"Why didn't you talk to me? I was the one who asked her first." Yin Shixiong was very dissatisfied, "Why can't you say hello to me? How low do you think I am?!"
"I'm not looking down on you, you're just a stick! You're also eloquent. I think you have nine or eight skills, and you still don't know one!"
Zhao Liangze glared at Yin Shixiong with an iron heart, "Just stay aside and don't interrupt!"
Yin Shixiong snorted and glanced at Zhao Liangze: "I still don't know who has nine orifices and eight orifices, but there is still one who doesn't know one! Xiaoze, judging from Mr. Huo's face, I am much better at it than you." But forget it, it’s really not good for us to interfere in this matter, let’s just watch it first.”
After saying that, the two of them stood behind Huo Shaoheng with their arms folded, looking like standard bodyguards.
Huo Shaoheng put his hands in his trouser pockets and stood leisurely in front of the crying Gu Yanran, with a calm and composed expression on his face, just watching her cry in silence.
When the guests in the hotel lobby saw this scene, they almost imagined a tragic love story about a man with a heart as strong as iron.
Huo Shaoheng glanced around, stretched out his hand to help Gu Yanran, "Miss Gu, go over there and talk."
Gu Yanran nodded, took a handkerchief to wake her nose, and followed Huo Shaoheng to the coffee shop next to the hotel lobby.
There is a coffee shop that can only be entered by VIP guests. It is arranged in relatively independent locations and pays great attention to the privacy of the guests.
The two sat down behind an exquisite rockery, where there was a very delicate and hidden booth.
The waitress in the coffee shop respectfully served Gu Yanran the best coffee in the hotel, and said cautiously to Gu Yanran in an almost worshipful tone: "Miss Gu, please forgive me."
Gu Yanran's tears suddenly flowed out again. She took the waitress's hand, put a large-denomination U.S. dollar bill into her hand, and gave it as a tip.
The waitress was both extremely moved and extremely sad, and left with a complicated expression.
Huo Shaoheng reached out and fiddled with the coffee cup in front of him, without intending to drink it. He asked Gu Yanran calmly: "Miss Gu, what's going on at home? Aren't all the gunmen killed?"
"...Everyone in my family is dead, it's like a nightmare." Gu Yanran cried, her eyes red, "You don't know how cruel that scene is. The people who have been with you day and night for more than ten years are suddenly gone. , only the last position of their portraits lying there is left in the living room. I can't stand it... I can't stand it when I see that scene... I can't live in that house anymore, I want to sell the house over there."
Huo Shaoheng showed no expression, but silently handed a tissue to Gu Yanran, "Miss Gu, since such a murder happened there, if you want to sell it, can you sell it?"
Huo Shaoheng actually just said it casually, but as if it reminded Gu Yanran, she nodded immediately: "Mr. Huo is right, it would be too unkind to sell this house to others like this. Forget it, I won't sell it. I plan to Demolish it and build a theme park here that will be open to all citizens of Barbados for free.”
Huo Shaoheng glanced at Gu Yanran in surprise, sat back on the booth, and tapped his fingers lightly on the dark green marble countertop: "... It doesn't have to be like this, right? After all, this is the house where your family has lived for so many years. After a pause, Huo Shaoheng asked again: "How long have your family lived there?"
Gu Yanran lowered her head and wiped her tears with a tissue. She sobbed twice to calm herself down slowly and reached for the coffee cup to take a sip.
The warm, silky coffee slid down her throat, soothing Gu Yanran's panic throughout the day and night.
She raised her eyes, bit her lower lip and glanced at Huo Shaoheng quickly, and saw that Huo Shaoheng was looking at her intently.
There was a deep and warm light shining in the deep black pupils, and Gu Yanran suddenly felt very safe.
With Huo Shaoheng, she enjoyed complete relaxation for the first time.
This man who is as silent as a mountain has this soothing charm.
It's just a pity...
Gu Yanran breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, not wanting to make any more detours with Huo Shaoheng.
"Mr. Huo, we don't speak secretly in front of people." Gu Yanran turned the porcelain white coffee cup in her hand and looked at Huo Shaoheng frankly, regaining her previous aura: "You came to Barbados just for my father, Gu Xiangwen , isn't it? I don't understand, now that my father is in danger, why are you unwilling to help? "
Huo Shaoheng did not expect that Gu Yanran would have the courage to tell him his purpose directly, although he would not admit it.
"Miss Gu, where did you start talking about this?" Huo Shaoheng objected calmly, "I came to Barbados for a military visit and it has nothing to do with your father."
"Oh? Really?" Gu Yanran smiled slightly, her eyes as clear as water: "Aren't you suspicious that Gu Nianzhi is my biological sister and my father's biological daughter?"
Huo Shaoheng was disturbed, but he quickly calmed down and could not let her lead him.
"Why do you say that? Although your surname is Gu, based on this alone, I can tell that she is your biological sister? Is she your father's biological daughter? Isn't that too childish?" Huo Shaoheng crossed his legs in a leisurely manner and closed his hands. , placed it on his knees, and smiled vaguely at Gu Yanran.
Gu Yanran looked at Huo Shaoheng's calm and strong posture and handsome face, and sighed in her heart. It was not easy to meet a man who was so in tune with her physically and mentally. It was a pity that she was a step too late...
"Of course it's not that simple." Gu Yanran raised her eyebrows and put down the coffee cup in her hand, "Actually, it's not just you, but also Barrister He. He is also looking for evidence."
Huo Shaoheng: "..."
There was a hint of impatience in his heart, but there was no sign of it on the surface. He still looked at Gu Yanran quietly and asked her to continue talking.
"Mr. Huo, to be honest, when I first met Gu Nianzhi, I fell in love with her right away. I liked her from the bottom of my heart. But looking at her look, I really didn't think that she was my sister. I just liked her from the bottom of my heart. Because she has the same name as my sister, I have a crush on her." Gu Yanran became more and more calm, revealing the secrets that both He Zhichu and Huo Shaoheng were pursuing one by one.
Huo Shaoheng nodded, "Really? We didn't see that. With all due respect, Miss Gu, it seems you haven't seen Nian Zhi a few times, right?"
Gu Yanran was so choked by Huo Shaoheng that she felt panicked. She looked at Huo Shaoheng with regret and said quietly: "Mr. Huo, haven't you ever experienced the feeling of meeting someone by chance and becoming like an old friend at first sight?"
Huo Shaoheng said calmly: "It has never happened before. I believe that time will change people's hearts."
"Yes, it seems that you are a very cautious person." Gu Yanran nodded, understanding Huo Shaoheng a little better, "But I believe that the white hair is as new as new and the cover is as old as ever."
The white head is as new and the cover is as old as before, which means that some people have been together for a lifetime, but they are still like strangers, while some people have just met, but they feel like old friends at the first sight.
"The white head is as new as new, and the hair is as old as before?" Huo Shaoheng curled his lips, "I didn't expect that Miss Gu grew up abroad, and her Chinese language skills are really not very good."
"Mr. Huo is so complimentary." Gu Yanran smiled and said with sadness: "My parents attach great importance to my Chinese education. When I was a child, my sister was naughty and didn't like to speak Chinese. My parents doted on her, so she He said there was no need to study. It’s a pity that I’m not good at it. Even if I don’t like it, I still have to be forced to study. Alas, but now I can’t even want them to force me to study.”
This heartfelt feeling for the lost father's love and mother's love is very sincere and touching, if the person Gu Yanran is facing is not Huo Shaoheng.
But it was a pity that she was facing Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng is indeed a very cautious person. His personality is like this. After joining the army, the secret work he engaged in amplified his caution a hundred times.
Therefore, it is really more difficult for such a person to get into his heart than to reach the sky.
Huo Shaoheng looked at Gu Yanran noncommittally, not moved by her feelings, and just continued to ask: "Professor He also visited Miss Gu?"
"Well, of course, I'm much more familiar with him than you are." Gu Yanran was indeed very candid.
She had realized that confessing was probably the only way to get Huo Shaoheng's sincere help.
She had no way out now. If Huo Shaoheng didn't help his father and daughter, she felt that she might be buried in Barbados for the rest of her life.
"I heard Professor He say that Miss Gu is a big client of his law firm." Huo Shaoheng nodded, "But why did he ask you about the news about Nian Zhi?"
"I don't know what he did, but he asked me for the contact information of my sister Gu Nianzhi's family doctor and dentist since she was a child. I guess I have contacted her now." Gu Yanran glanced at Huo Shaoheng with a smile, looked away, and looked at Floor-to-ceiling windows next to the booths.
Opposite the floor-to-ceiling windows is an artificial tropical rainforest lake with a wide and beautiful view. You can also see colorful tropical birds flying in the forest.
Her mood soared like that gorgeous tropical bird.
Huo Shaoheng lowered his eyes and looked at the coffee cup in front of him without drinking a sip, thinking about this matter in his mind.
He Zhichu's request for the contact information of Gu Yanran's sister's family doctor and dentist when she was a child must have been to verify Gu Nianzhi's identity.
But doesn't he know Gu Nianzhi's life experience very well
Why do we need to verify it
Huo Shaoheng was keenly aware that there must be something he didn't know about, but he didn't want to speculate on it and planned to call Gu Nianzhi directly when he was free in the evening to ask.
Seeing that Huo Shaoheng had obviously become silent, Gu Yanran bowed forward and called him tentatively: "Mr. Huo? I still have this request, can you help me? Help my father? Maybe Gu Nianzhi is really my sister. Then you help my father, that is, you help her father, right?"
