Chapter 1489: You Did This On Purpose, Didn’t You?

Who was He Chengjian?

Perhaps no one had ever spoken to him like this in his entire life. Even though He Zhichu had sometimes gone against him, he had never spoken to him in such a rude manner.

He Chengjian’s expression changed the moment Gu Nianzhi said those harsh words.

Wen Shouyi panicked. “General He, please don’t be angry. It’s fine! Nianzhi, can’t you speak properly?!”

As she spoke, she helped He Chengjian sit down and frantically called the He family’s family doctor. Hearing that He Chengjian had fallen ill, the family doctors rushed out of the study in less than a minute.

He Chengjian clenched his fists and felt a buzzing sound in his ears. All the blood seemed to have rushed to his brain, and his vision was a little blurry.

He allowed Wen Shouyi to help him sit down. He covered his heart with his hand and slowly calmed his breathing.

He Zhichu was also shocked. He opened the study room door and called a family doctor in.

This person was the head of the family doctor. He walked in with a medicine box on his back and walked straight to He Chengjian.

When he saw his expression, he immediately said, “You have angina. Hurry up and take some medicine.”

They all had the usual medicine for angina.

He Zhichu poured a glass of water and took the medicine from the doctor personally. He gave it to He Chengjian.

He Chengjian took the medicine and rested on the chair with his eyes closed for a while before he recovered.

The buzzing in his ears disappeared, and his vision became clear. The color on his face gradually returned to normal.

However, his chest was still a little stuffy.

Gu Nianzhi saw how angry he chengjian was and felt a little regretful.

Had she gone too far?

He Zhichu looked intently at He Chengjian and poured him another glass of warm water. “Drink some more?”

He Chengjian drank the water from his hand and looked at the family doctor in the room. He said, “Zhichu, help me send the doctor over and bring me a few more bottles of medicine. I don’t have much medicine left.”

He Zhichu nodded and followed the doctor out.

After He Zhichu left, He Chengjian sat for a while before looking at Gu Nianzhi.

Gu Nianzhi leaned over to his desk and said shyly, “General he, I’m sorry.”

If anything happened to He Chengjian because of her words, she would be at fault.

He Chengjian looked at her darkly. After a while, he said, “Nianzhi, you’re not that young anymore. You’re already nineteen, right? You’re going to be twenty in October?”

It would be less than a month.

Her mood instantly downcast, Gu Nianzhi nodded.

Her twentieth birthday was coming up, but Huo Shaoheng couldn’t celebrate her birthday anymore.

She really didn’t want to celebrate her birthday anymore.

He Chengjian looked at her absent-minded expression and thought about his son’s forbearance. His hands secretly clenched into fists.

Seven years, was she really that irresistible?

What was wrong with his son?

Wen Shouyi didn’t seem to notice their emotional state, and she smiled slightly. “Nianzhi, don’t be too willful. With such good conditions, what are you still doing? As for your engagement with Major General Huo, it’s almost a matter of another world. Just treat it as if you’re dreaming.”

“Since it’s a dream, there’s no need to take it seriously.”

He Chengjian observed Gu Nianzhi attentively and saw that she didn’t seem to think much of it. It was probably because her earlier words made him so mad that he didn’t continue arguing with Wen Shouyi.

It seemed that getting her to be with He Zhichu wasn’t something that could be accomplished overnight.

Gu Nianzhi looked up and said calmly, “No, that wasn’t a dream. We both know that it’s a real space-time existence.”

“So what if it exists? You can’t even go there now,” Wen Shouyi said lightly, “Their science and technology are far behind ours, so they won’t be able to get there anytime soon. Maybe in 50 or 100 years, their technology will advance by leaps and bounds.”

Gu Nianzhi raised her eyebrows. “That’s none of your business.”

He Chengjian also said, “In the past few years, I often used magnetic field transmissions with Shouyi, so the magnetic field’s energy consumption was already high. This time, when bringing you back, something went wrong midway, and the magnetic field device went out of control. Not only did it consume most of our energy, but it almost lost you and Zhining.”

“I left the last batch of energy to support him when he first came back.” He Chengjian sighed, “Otherwise, perhaps Nianzhi and the others wouldn’t have landed on Snake Island in the Caribbean. The remaining energy is completely insufficient to form a magnetic resonance.”

He shook his head disapprovingly.

Wen Shouyi continued to persuade Gu Nianzhi, “Look, it’s not that we don’t want you to go back on purpose, but even if we wanted to send you back now, there’s nothing we can do. Without enough magnetic field energy, we can’t activate the magnetic resonance, so of course we can’t transmit it.”

Gu Nianzhi’s heart was in agony, but she forced herself not to cry in front of them.

She could cry when she was acting, but she had to express her true feelings, so she didn’t want to cry anymore.

When she was truly sad, she would hide and cry alone. Those were her real tears.

The tears that flowed in front of people didn’t count. Everyone knew that they were all thousand-year-old foxes, and their acting were superb.

“... So stop fooling around. When the banquet is held, tell everyone about your engagement to Young Master He.” Wen Shouyi brought it up again. “If you want to take a step back in order to advance, you have to know your limits. How can you play around with the important matter of marriage?”

Gu Nianzhi was extremely annoyed. She looked at Wen Shouyi with a sullen face and said coldly, “I’ve always spoke my mind. I’ve never taken a step back in order to advance. Don’t judge others by your own standards or use your own thoughts to judge others.”

“Yes, you’re the most virtuous.” Wen Shouyi picked up her Hermes platinum bag from the sofa and hung it on her arm. She was no longer polite. “I’ve already said so much, but you still won’t let me go. I want to remind you that without the He family, you’re nothing. Why are you putting on a show?”

“I’m putting on a show?” Gu Nianzhi laughed in anger. “I’ve been saying this for so long. Do you think I’m deliberately playing hard to get?”

“I didn’t say that.” Wen Shouyi had a good temper. As she walked towards the door, she said, “Actually, you just get things too easily. You never cherish things that are too easy to get.”

“Unlike people like me, who come from poor families, and my parents are only gardeners, so I have to work harder than you to be able to sit in the same position as you.”

Gu Nianzhi finally understood Wen Shouyi’s intentions.

Wasn’t she just mocking her and saying that she was relying on the He family to raise her status?

She put her hands in her pockets and took two steps forward. She said to Wen Shouyi’s back, “I never meant to look down on your background. You can’t choose where you come from, just like I can’t choose my parents, but you can choose which path you choose.”

Wen Shouyi stopped in her tracks and turned to look at her. She said with a faint smile, “You’re already standing at the top, even though you’re relying on the He family, so it’s easy for you to say that just because you’re standing there.”

Unlike her, even though she was already at the He family’s door, she could be kicked out at any time.

Gu Nianzhi chuckled and said without batting an eye, “You really care about the He family. Don’t tell me you’re saying that I’m nothing if I leave the He Family.”

“To be honest, I’m not afraid of hurting your feelings. You really are nothing if you leave the He family.” Wen Shouyi was no longer polite. There was still a hint of excitement in her eyes. She was like a hunter who had finally seen her prey walk towards the trap she had set up.

He chengjian’s brows furrowed slightly. He looked at Gu Nianzhi and thought that Wen Shouyi had a point.

If Gu Nianzhi were to go out and experience the real life of an ordinary person, she would have to work hard every day. Her biggest wish in life would be to get a loan to buy a small house and spend the rest of her life in a small house.

She would be able to understand how good He Zhichu was if she suffered a little.

Gu Nianzhi played right into his hands and said, “Alright then, I’ll leave the He family and live on my own ability. Do you think I’m nothing if I leave the He Family?”

“Sure!” Wen Shouyi immediately clapped. “I’ll wait and See!”

Gu Nianzhi turned to He Chengjian and said, “General He, do you agree? If you agree, I can leave the He family immediately and live on my own.”

He Chengjian looked at her with an unreadable expression and said, “Do you really want to leave the He family and live on your own?”

“Of course, why wouldn’t you believe me?” Gu Nianzhi was very confident in her own abilities. Being able to leave the He family and not having to see Wen Shouyi and Qin Yaoguang again was more beneficial than detrimental to her.

Wen Shouyi continued to goad her, “Okay, since you’ve said you’ll live on your own, you have to leave the He family with nothing. You can’t take anything from the He family or use any of the He family’s resources. You can’t even tell anyone that you know someone from the He family.”

Wen Shouyi pursed his lips and continued, “You can’t tell anyone that your mother is Auntie Qin, Director Qin.”

This was the only way Gu Nianzhi would be on the same starting line as her.

She wanted to see how Gu Nianzhi, who had nothing and didn’t even have a degree, would be able to do well here!

Gu Nianzhi didn’t fall for her trap. She crossed her arms and said, “Are you stupid? I didn’t cheat, yet I left the he family with nothing?! What does that have to do with anything?”

“I’m just saying that you can’t take away a single thing from the He family.” Wen Shouyi smiled. “General He, does that make sense?”

Feeling a little sorry for her, He Chengjian looked at Gu Nianzhi.

Although he wanted Gu Nianzhi to experience the life of an ordinary person in society, he didn’t want her to live too hard.

All he wanted was to experience the hardships of the people and suffer a little.

He Zhichu wasn’t the only one who was unwilling to let her suffer too much. Even as an uncle, he couldn’t stand it.

However, he wanted to see how Gu Nianzhi would deal with it, so he didn’t reply. He just smiled and didn’t say anything.

Gu Nianzhi saw that He Chengjian didn’t speak and looked at her calmly like an old fox. She scoffed and said, “Of course I won’t take away anything from the He family, but I still want what belongs to me.”

“There’s something that belongs to you here?” Wen Shouyi stretched out her arms and casually walked around the room. “How come I don’t know?”

“How would you know?” Gu Nianzhi retorted rudely. “Are you the He family’s nanny or the He family’s butler? Do you know what the He family has?”

Wen Shouyi wasN’t a nanny or a butler, of course. She was a JD law student with first-class honors from Harvard Law School and was also the head of the military’s legal affairs department. No, she was once the head of the Legal Affairs Department.

Wen Shouyi straightened her back when she thought about how He Zhichu had already stripped her of her military status. She didn’t want anyone to see her displeasure and anger.

She said aloofy, “This is based on common sense. You’ve been gone for seven years, so the things here have long changed.”

Gu Nianzhi chuckled and said, “I understand what you mean. Don’t worry, I won’t take a single cent from the He family. What I want is indeed something that belongs to me.”

As she spoke, Gu Nianzhi looked at He Chengjian. “General He, I’m new here. You have to get me a legal identity document, including an ID card, passport, and an official degree.”

He Chengjian laughed. “You want me to open a back door for you?”

What happened to not relying on the He family?

Gu Nianzhi didn’t blush at all. She said with conviction, “How is this opening a back door? I was alive and well in the other world. I have my own identity, my own job, my own degree certificate, and my Lawyer’s license. You were the one who forcefully brought me here against my will. So, based on the principle of reciprocity, shouldn’t you provide me with the same identity document and proof of education?”

This meant that he had to be responsible for the aftermath of his sins.

He Chengjian thought about it for a moment and agreed. “Okay, I’ll get you an identity document and proof of education, but you’ll have to re-take the bar exam yourself.”

“Deal!” Gu Nianzhi high-fived He Chengjian and gave him a meaningful smile.

Wen Shouyi didn’t expect Gu Nianzhi to easily obtain a master’s degree and Certificate of Education from B University’s law department. Of course, there was also proof of education from primary school to university.

With her identity card and diploma, her identity in this world would be confirmed.

Gu Nianzhi only needed these things to find a job to support herself.

She had her own plans, but these plans required her to get rid of the He family first, especially Wen Shouyi, who had always paid special attention to her.

Wen Shouyi was silent for a moment, then suggested, “Although Nianzhi wants to go down and experience life, the security in those ordinary residential areas isn’t very good. She’s so beautiful. What if she meets a thug?”

He Chengjian said, “I’ve already considered this. I’m going to send someone to protect her.”

“Who are you looking for?” Wen Shouyi asked with interest. “I know a few people who are quite skilled. They’re all Young Master He’s subordinates in the military.”

Gu Nianzhi could tell that they weren’t going to let her leave the He family alone.

However, this wasn’t a bad idea. After all, Gu Nianzhi knew nothing about the world and didn’t know how the security situation was. She still needed time to adapt.

He Chengjian had promised to send someone to protect her, so she could only be grateful.

Gu Nianzhi looked at Wen Shouyi, who had been giving her ideas, and calmly said, “I have a candidate. I hope General He will agree.”

“Oh? Who do you want to be your personal bodyguard?” Surprised, He Chengjian asked.

Gu Nianzhi raised her chin. “Colonel Qin Zhining. He’s a very good person. If I need someone to protect me, I’ll only trust him.”

He Chengjian must also be very trusting towards this person. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have specifically asked him to go there to pick up Nianzhi.

He nodded immediately. “Okay, I’ll let Zhining follow you. You two can call each other cousins.”

Wen Shouyi’s face darkened. “Why do you want Qin Zhining to accompany you? You did it on purpose, didn’t you?!”
