Chapter 1490 - He Was The Only Good Person In The World

Chapter 1490: He Was The Only Good Person In The World Gu Nianzhi thought to herself: I did it on purpose, but why would I tell you?
Wen Shouyi’s sudden aggressiveness caused her to immediately choose to
panic.
She took two steps back to He Chengjian’s side and purposely asked in a cute manner.

Uncle He, why can’t I choose Brother Little Ning? Didn’t you agree?


Miss Wen is so scary!


Even Uncle He’s words are useless? I thought she was the one in charge of the He family…

She had always been dainty and quick-witted. When she acted cute, even Huo Shaoheng couldn’t handle her, let alone He Chengjian.
He almost regretted asking her to move out. He patted her on the back and coaxed her,
Don’t be afraid, Don’t be afraid. Uncle He will make the decision for you.

As he spoke, his gaze shifted to Wen Shouyi and he smiled.
Shouyi, I asked Zhining to protect Nianzhi. Do you have a problem with that?

Wen Shouyi noticed He Chengjian’s unfriendly expression and her heart skipped a beat. She quickly said,
General He, that’s not what I meant. What I meant was…


What do you mean?
Gu Nianzhi take advantage of He Chengjian’s intimidating presence.
Don’t you mean that if you don’t agree, I can’t do it? Even if Uncle He agrees?


Of course not!
Wen Shouyi quickly defended herself.
I mean, there are so many talented people in the military. Why do you need Qin Zhining? He’s not the best. What if he can’t take on the heavy responsibility…


Haha…
Gu Nianzhi took two steps forward and interrupted her.
It’s just to protect my safety. Is it that difficult? Does Miss Wen think that in Huaxia Empire, under the full protection of General He, I’ll still be in great danger?

Wen Shouyi’s expression froze, but she quickly calmed down. She gently twirled the silk scarf wrapped around her Hermès platinum bag with one hand and said with a smile,
Of course not, but your safety is crucial.

Gu Nianzhi interrupted her again and shook her head.
I’m just an ordinary person. I’m sure brother Little Ning can handle an ordinary little thief. If there’s a villain that even brother Little Ning can’t handle, then someone is deliberately targeting me.

Forcing Wen Shouyi to take a step back, she took another step forward.

Since Miss Wen is so clear about this, it seems that my safety problem should actually fall on Miss Wen.
Gu Nianzhi raised her eyebrows and said meaningfully.

What does it have to do with me?
Wen Shouyi shot He Chengjian a quick glance.
He Chengjian, however, maintained his smiling expression. It was so natural that she couldn’t see through his thoughts at all.
Gu Nianzhi put her hands behind her back and moved closer to Wen Shouyi. She whispered in her ear,
Of course it’s related. If I’m really being hunted down by an unknown assassin, it’s only possible that Miss Wen ordered the unknown assassin to do it.

She turned around and pointed at Wen Shouyi. She looked at He Chengjian and chuckled.
Uncle He, please remember this. If anything happens to me in the future, Miss Wen will definitely be the real culprit. No matter what alibi she has, you can’t trust her. She’ll be sentenced to death. She’ll confess to anything in the face of death.


Gu Nianzhi!
Wen Shouyi was scared out of her wits and her face turned pale.
You’re a lawyer too! How can you slander me? ! If you say that again, I’ll sue you for slander!


When did I slander you?
Gu Nianzhi turned her head calmly.
Do you want me to explain the legal meaning of slander to you?


And you’re saying that you didn’t slander me? You’re implying that if anything happens to you, I’m the murderer!
Wen Shouyi was so angry that her chest was puffing up.

I’m saying that if something happens to me, don’t you understand the word ‘if’?
Like pearls falling onto a jade plate, Gu Nianzhi’s voice was crisp and clear. It was clear and pleasant to the ear.
If means that it might not happen.


If it does happen, then it’s an objective fact. I didn’t slander you.


If it doesn’t happen, then you’re not a murderer. May I ask what I did to slander you? Why are you in such a hurry to label yourself as a ‘murderer’?

Gu Nianzhi’s face darkened,
Or did you actually plan to set a trap to drive me out of the He family so that you could get someone else to do it? Actually, why do you have to go so far? You could have done it at the He family’s house, and there wouldn’t have been any consequences. If you do it at the He family’s house, you would be able to escape unscathed. There wouldn’t have been anything wrong. Why do you have to go through all this trouble to get me out?

Wen Shouyi caught Gu Nianzhi’s resentment towards the He family and immediately said,
It’s fine if you say so, but why do you have to involve the He family? If the He family isn’t safe, where else is there safe in all of Huaxia Empire?!

He Chengjian coughed.
Nianzhi, you really don’t have to worry about your own safety in the He family.


Oh? Really?
Gu Nianzhi didn’t turn around and said aloofly,
Uncle He, did you forget that I was almost forced to commit suicide in the He family this morning? You said I don’t have to worry about my own safety in the He family?

He Chengjian was speechless.
But how could he have thought that Yaoguang would go against his own daughter?
Now that the mother and daughter were like fire and water, He Chengjian also had a headache.
He shut his mouth in embarrassment.
Wen Shouyi was indignant.
Even if something happens to you, why would I be the murderer? And you’re saying you’re not slandering me?!

Gu Nianzhi crossed her arms and said calmly,
I’ll tell you why if something happens to me, you’ll be the murderer. Because if something happens to me, you’ll be the one who benefits the most!


The common reasoning for murder cases is that most murderers seek some sort of benefit from the deceased. Whoever benefits the most will be the most suspicious. Do I have to teach you that?

Wen Shouyi’s face turned livid. She clenched and unclenched her fists. After a while, she said with great emotion,
Nonsense! What benefit can I have if something bad happens to you?! Don’t slander me!


Hmm, what benefit can you have? Let me think.
Gu Nianzhi walked around her.
I don’t need to remind you why you came to Professor He’s side, do I?


Seven years ago, you came to Professor He’s side as a substitute because he mistook someone who died in a car accident for me.


So as my substitute, don’t you hate me the most? Because I didn’t die, everything you once had slipped away from your hands.


The thing people are most afraid of isn’t not having it, but having it and then losing it.
Gu Nianzhi became more and more emotional as she spoke, even though she actually didn’t have any evidence. Her words were almost like
talking nonsense
.
Wen Shouyi’s palms started to sweat, but she still asked Gu Nianzhi calmly,
Are you serious?

Gu Nianzhi tilted her head.
Yes, I’m serious. Unless you can swear that even if I’m not in this world, you won’t be with Professor He anymore, I won’t believe that you’re not a possible murderer.

Wen Shouyi flew into a rage.
Why would I make such an oath?! You’ve gone too far!


Haha, are you saying that you’ve always coveted Professor He? Then why are you clinging to Brother Little Ning?!
Gu Nianzhi glanced at He Chengjian and gave him a
you know what I mean
look.
He Chengjian’s eyes darkened, but he was also amused by her.
He smiled, and the deep lines at the corners of his eyes curled up. His pair of almond-shaped eyes looked even more charming than He Zhichu’s.
Thinking to herself, no wonder her cheap mother had waited for this man for more than 20 years, Gu Nianzhi looked away. Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to handle such an outrageous person..
Only Major General Huo could beat him.
Gu Nianzhi thought of Huo Shaoheng, and her eyes softened. The smile on her face looked especially sweet.
He Zhichu just happened to push the door open and enter. When he saw Gu Nianzhi’s sweet smile and her big, watery eyes, his heart skipped a beat and he almost couldn’t breathe.
He held the doorknob and stood there for a while before asking,
What were you guys talking about?

Wen Shouyi’s face was red and she was too embarrassed to stay any longer. She said hurriedly,
I’m going back. Auntie Qin is waiting for my reply. General He, I’m leaving first.

She turned around in a panic, opened the study door and ran out.
Gu Nianzhi didn’t want to stay any longer. She bowed slightly to He Chengjian.
Uncle He, please inform brother Little Ning. I’m going to pack my things and move out of the He residence immediately.


What’s going on?
He Zhichu heard that something was wrong and immediately grabbed Gu Nianzhi’s arm. He asked nervously,
Why are you moving out of the He residence?

Gu Nianzhi gently pushed his hand away and said with a smile,
Professor He, please ask Uncle He. I’ll be leaving first. You two can have a nice chat.

Although she didn’t have much strength, her actions were firm.
She pushed away He Zhichu’s fingers one by one and left resolutely.
The door to the study slammed shut again. He Zhichu and He Chengjian were the only two people in the room.
He Zhichu glared at He Chengjian angrily. His eyes were almost burning with anger.
You better explain to me clearly. What is going on?!

He Chengjian felt sorry for his son again. In order not to endure He Zhichu’s anger, he covered his chest with his hand and exclaimed,
Ouch! my chest hurts! Do you have any more medicine?!

He Zhichu quickly walked over and took out the medicine. He picked up the landline phone and said,
Why are you feeling unwell again? I should call the doctor right away.

He Chengjian had no choice but to hold his hand and smile fawningly.
Ah-Chu, it’s alright. Dad is alright. I was just joking with you just now. You were so angry that Dad was scared…

As he watched his father, who was so imposing in front of everyone, lower his head and beg for mercy in front of him, He Zhichu couldn’t vent his anger no matter how angry he was.
He closed his eyes and rubbed the space between his eyebrows with his hand. He sat down on the sofa.
Dad, What’s going on? Tell me quickly. I’m not angry.

He Chengjian looked at He Zhichu with heartache. He thought to himself, that little girl Gu Nianzhi is full of pride. If I don’t give her ego a blow, how could she be willing to spend her whole life with He Zhichu?
He had made the right decision.
After hesitating for a while, He Chengjian decided to tell him the important part of the story, so he continued,
Nianzhi suggested it herself. I think it’s a good idea. Let her go out for a walk, bump into the wall a few times, and learn a lesson a few times. She’ll know why the flowers are so red. Zhichu is the only good person in the world.

He Zhichu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He felt his head ache intensify.
It seemed that no matter who met Gu Nianzhi, they would become abnormal.

Dad, you really don’t know Nianzhi.
He Zhichu sighed,
Let her go out. We shouldn’t be worried about her hitting the wall, but the wall hitting her. If she gets angry, the wall can be torn down by her. You want her to learn from her mistakes outside? No way.

He Chengjian:
…


… Aren’t you exaggerating? Is she really that impressive?
He Chengjian touched his chin with his hand.
Who exactly does that little girl’s personality resemble? When your Auntie Qin was young, she wasn’t as smart and cunning as she was. Don’t tell me she really resembles that crazy person?
