Hello, Mr. Major General - Chapter 2086
Chapter 2086: Chapter 2086: How Could I bear to part with it
Xie qingying was currently with her best friend.
Even though it was New Year’s Eve, her best friend knew that she had broken up with he zhichu, so she immediately came over to accompany her after the New Year’s Eve dinner with her family.
The two of them sat on Xie Qingying’s bed in her bedroom, chatting as they swiped their phones.
Her best friend was worried that Xie qingying might not be able to think straight and do something stupid, so she had already planned to spend the new year with her for the next few days.
Xie qingying was calmer than she had imagined. However, she was always in a low mood. Reading those sand sculpture manga would not make her laugh out loud.
Just as her best friend was thinking about how to comfort her, she heard Xie Qingying’s phone ring.
Xie qingying took a look and frowned. She said, “Who is this? Is this a prank?”
A strange phone number appeared on the phone. It was not the number arrangement of any country that they were familiar with.
Her best friend poked her head out to take a look and said in deep thought,”… could it be that young master he called to ask for Peace? He was too embarrassed to use his own number, so he used a special device to hide his number?”
Xie qingying glared at her and said indifferently, “I’ve already given up. You still haven’t given up?”
“I’m just worried about you, right?”Her best friend quickly raised her hand to surrender. “I won’t say anything more. The problem between you and young master he will be solved by the two of you.”
Xie qingying snorted and stared at the number for a while, hesitating whether to answer it.
In just a short while, the number hung up.
She couldn’t tell if she was relieved or disappointed.
But before she could clear her mind, the number called again.
This time, Xie Qingying didn’t hesitate and picked up the call.
…
A voice that she did not like, but still remembered, quickly came through the phone.”… cousin Xie? It’s Gu Nianzhi. Happy New Year.”
Xie qingying was slightly startled.”… Gu Nianzhi? It’s really Gu Nianzhi? Where have you been? You’re not even coming back for the New Year? How can you let your brother celebrate the new year alone?”
Gu Nianzhi:”…”
It was indeed different from what he zhichu had said.
Her brows twitched slightly, but she still spoke at a leisurely pace. “How can that be? Doesn’t my brother have cousin Xie accompanying him? I heard that you two are engaged, but I haven’t congratulated you yet!”
Xie qingying’s face darkened. She thought Gu Nianzhi was here to mock her and make fun of her. She said coldly, “You heard that I’m Engaged? Who Did you hear it from?”
“Of course it was young master he.”Gu Nianzhi chuckled. “If it wasn’t for young master he, how would I know?”
Xie qingying finally understood, and the anger in her heart dissipated a little.”… you just called your brother?”
“Yes, it’s new year’s. I said I wanted to talk to cousin Xie, and my brother said you were spending new year’s with your family and weren’t at the He family’s.”
Gu Nianzhi did not say everything he zhichu had said. She subconsciously felt that she had to save some face for he zhichu.
Xie qingying was disappointed for a moment, then said plainly, “Thank you, and Happy New Year to you. Also, your brother and I have broken off our engagement, so you don’t have to call me or say New Year’s greetings to me anymore. That’s all.”
She hurriedly wanted to hang up the phone because she really did not know how to face Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi’s heart sank, thinking that it was as she had expected.
Seeing that she did not have much time left, she did not stand on ceremony, she quickly said, “Even if cousin Xie breaks off the engagement with my brother, you’re still my cousin. Can’t relatives call each other to wish them a happy new year? Alright, I have to go eat too. I’ll talk to you later. Bye, cousin Xie.”
As soon as she finished speaking, ten minutes had passed.
The magnetic field energy had been used up, and her call was cut off.
She could no longer call the other side.
Gu Nianzhi let out a long sigh. Her head hurt from thinking about it.
How could this be?
She had been fine, but the engagement had been broken off.
She didn’t know what had happened.
He Zhichu had tried to cover up Taiping and hide it from her..
Gu Nianzhi punched the windowsill hard.
She still wanted to make a phone call, but song jinning probably didn’t have the authority anymore.
She could only wait until her father, Lu Jin, woke up from his drunken stupor the next day. She would try to find out if her father had any way of contacting the other world.
Huo Shaoheng and Lu Yuan sent Lu Jin to the guest room and settled him down. When they came out, they did not see Gu Nianzhi and song jinning.
He looked around the house and saw song Jinning, who was slightly tipsy. After asking around, he found out that Gu Nianzhi was in song Jinning’s study and laboratory.
Although song jinning had been smiling and wouldn’t tell him what Gu Nianzhi was doing, Huo Shaoheng knew what Gu Nianzhi was doing without even asking.
He had no intention of stopping her, and of course, no intention of encouraging her.
It would be good to pretend that he didn’t know.
Huo Shaoheng returned to the dining room and began chatting casually with Lu Yuan.
After chatting for a while, fifteen minutes had passed, but Gu Nianzhi still hadn’t come out.
Song Jinning yawned continuously, almost falling asleep on Lu Yuan’s shoulder.
Lu Yuan felt sorry for her and said to Huo shaoheng, “Help yourself. It’s too late. I’ll take jinning upstairs.”
Huo Shaoheng nodded. “You don’t have to worry about me. I’ll bring Nianzhi home later.”
Lu Yuan glanced at him and said deliberately, “It’s so late. Stay here. We’ll go back tomorrow.”
Huo Shaoheng shook his head without batting an eyelid. “It’s fine. It’s New Year’s Eve, and it’s very lively outside. It’ll be very convenient for us to go back.”
Lu Yuan smiled and said nothing more. He half-carried song jinning up the stairs.
Huo Shaoheng sat alone in the dining room for a while before knocking on the door of Song Jinning’s study and laboratory.
Gu Nianzhi came back to her senses and thought that song jinning had come to rush her. She jumped down from the windowsill and walked to the door to open it. She said, “Miss song, Can I…”
Before she could finish, she saw that it was Huo Shaoheng standing at the door, not song jinning.
Gu Nianzhi interlocked her fingers awkwardly and twisted them in front of her. She said embarrassedly, “It’s Huo Shao…”
“Yeah, you seem a little disappointed.”Huo Shaoheng looked at her without batting an eyelid. “Are you done calling your brother?”
Gu Nianzhi was shocked. “How did you know? ! Did Miss Song Say That?”
I didn’t expect you to be like this, Ms. Song!
Gu Nianzhi was silently criticizing him when Huo Shaoheng took her hand and walked into song Jinning’s study and lab. He said slowly, “Ms. Song didn’t tell me. I guessed.”
Gu Nianzhi:”…”
“You really guessed?”She looked at him suspiciously. “How did you guess it? I don’t believe it.”
She had never told anyone about this idea. Could Huo Shaoheng read minds? How did he know?
Huo Shaoheng lowered his head and pulled her arm away. He wrapped it around his waist and said calmly, “You took advantage of my absence to coax Ms. Song to come to her lab. Could it be that you’re here to conduct high-energy physics experiments?”
Gu Nianzhi:”…”
She pursed her lips. “Why did I coax Ms. Song when you weren’t around?”
“I clearly asked Ms. Song for help openly!”
Huo Shaoheng smiled. “Oh, so you admit it?”
Gu Nianzhi thought about he zhichu’s situation and felt that it was better to confess. Perhaps Huo Shaoheng could help her.
Gu nianzhi replied honestly, “I asked Ms. Song for her help. I called my brother.”
“I wouldn’t have known if I hadn’t called. I was shocked. He got engaged to cousin Xie and broke off the engagement. It’s been less than a year!”
Huo Shaoheng was not surprised at all. He said calmly,”… young master he has been able to hold on for so long. He has given Xie qingying face.”
“What do you mean?”
“Do you think young master he is with Xie Qingying because he loves her?”Huo Shaoheng nodded at Gu Nianzhi’s forehead, “Are you stupid? That was to reassure his father. He didn’t force you to stay with him and used Xie qingying as a shield.”
“Now that his father is dead, Xie qingying as a shield is of course dispensable.”
“In other words, he no longer has to care about who forced him to show off his love for Xie qingying.”
Huo Shaoheng wouldn’t have said these words if he didn’t know that Gu Nianzhi and he zhichu were biological siblings.
Gu Nianzhi was speechless for a long time. After a while, she finally said faintly,”… I finally understand where cousin Xie’s faint hostility towards me comes from…”
Gu Nianzhi looked askance at Huo Shaoheng and gave him a half-smile. “Then cousin Xie has a good temper. If you use me as a shield and block knives for someone else, I’ll definitely fight back to the end!”
Huo Shaoheng hugged her even tighter and lowered his head to kiss her passionately. He whispered in her ear in a hoarse voice,”… how can I bear to do that?”
