Huo Shaoheng did not say anything else. He nodded and waited for Gu Nianzhi to pack up before leaving the house with her.

After Gu Nianzhi went downstairs, she asked Lu Jin, “Dad, aren’t you going?”

“No, I had a sudden inspiration today and used the book of changes to read my fortune. It’s not appropriate for me to go out.”Lu Jin waved his hand without looking up. “Eat more. Eat My portion.”

Gu Nianzhi smiled. “Okay, Dad. If You’re hungry, there’s something in the fridge. Can you ask the orderly to heat it up for you?”

“I know, I know. I’m Not Picky.”Lu Jin turned around and glared at her.

Gu Nianzhi’s lips twitched.

Not Picky?

Only her father, Lu Jin, could say that with a straight face and a straight heart.

Gu Nianzhi chuckled and got into the car with Huo Shaoheng.

It was a weekend evening, and the road from the capital to the West Mountains was very congested.

It was usually less than an hour’s drive, but this time, it took almost two hours.

Fortunately, the two of them had planned the time of the traffic jam, so when they arrived at the parking lot of the clubhouse restaurant, they were still five minutes away from the agreed time.

Gu Nianzhi got out of the car in a good mood.

She looked around and saw that the night sky was vast, and the light purple mist lingered in the ravines between the mountains.

The tall trees with luxuriant foliage stood among the mountains not far away, lush and verdant.

The light from the street lamps shone on the lush green leaves of the tall trees by the roadside, like polished green jade.

The clubhouse restaurant in front of them was an ancient-style building with brick and wood structures. The walls were made of pink, and the tiles complemented the mountains and forests.

“What are you looking at? Let’s go.”Huo Shaoheng took her hand and walked leisurely to the door of the restaurant.

“Hello, do you have reservations?”The waiter at the door asked politely.

Gu Nianzhi nodded. “Yes, we have reserved a private room.”

The waiter looked at the name she had mentioned and smiled. “Please follow me.”

He led Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng to the private room Gu Nianzhi had reserved. Huo Guanchen and grandfather Huo were already waiting there.

Gu Nianzhi was not surprised to see Yuan Jianan and Zhang Baochen sitting there as well.

As long as she invited grandfather Huo, she had to be prepared. The old man would bring his beloved illegitimate son along.

As long as she invited Huo Guanchen, she had to be prepared. He would bring some strange women to dinner.

Gu Nianzhi was already mentally prepared. She sat down with Huo Shaoheng, who had always been calm and collected. She smiled and greeted him. “Good evening, uncle and Mr. Huo.”

She nodded at Zhang Baochen and said politely, “Mr. Zhang, long time no see.”

Finally, she looked at Yuan Jianan, who was sitting between Huo Guanchen and Zhang Baochen. She looked curious. “Who is this lady? She looks so gentle and delicate. Is She Mr. Zhang’s female companion?”

Huo Guanchen’s mouth twitched.

Zhang Baochen waved his hand hurriedly, he smiled obsequiously. “How could I be so lucky? Nianzhi, you think too highly of me. This is Ms. Yuan, second brother’s female companion, not mine. If my wife finds out, she’ll tear me apart!”

Gu Nianzhi laughed hysterically. “AH? Mr. Zhang is still afraid of Mrs. Zhang?”

“Of course. The men of the Huo family are strictly controlled by their wives,”grandfather Huo suddenly blurted out.

Gu Nianzhi was still a greenhorn after all, and her acting skills were not good enough. Grandfather Huo’s words of “The men of the Huo family”made her a little upset.

Her eyes narrowed slightly. Her smile was still on her face, but it was as stiff as a mask.

“… Oh, is that so? Mr. Zhang’s surname seems to be Zhang, not Huo?”Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and picked up the menu to flip through.

Huo Shaoheng coughed, he smiled at grandfather Huo, who was about to flare up, and said, “Nianzhi is young and immature, and she takes things seriously. Don’t lower yourself to her level. However, what she said made sense. Since Mr. Zhang is your biological son, you should let him change his surname to Gui Zong. Otherwise, he’ll always take someone else’s surname. You say he’s a man of the Huo family, but he won’t even accept strangers, don’t you agree?”

Huo Guanchen raised his eyebrows slightly and said unhappily, “Baochen isn’t the only man of the Huo family who doesn’t have the Huo surname.”

Only then did Gu Nianzhi really fly into a rage.

He was comparing president Lu to Zhang Baochen, the illegitimate son!

How could he be worthy? !

Gu Nianzhi’s little face stiffened. She was about to lose her temper when the door to the private room was pushed open again. Lu Yuan and song jinning walked in.

Lu Yuan was tall and handsome, and the charm of a mature man had already reached the point where he could control it at will.

Song Jinning was even more so. Gu Nianzhi had called her several times to remind her that she had put in a lot of effort today.

She was wearing a pearl-white silk one-sleeve shirt with a one-button-down collar and pants of the same color. The pants had just reached her ankles, but she was wearing Christian Louboutin’s famous black high-heeled shoes with red soles.

The pure elegance and sexy charm were perfectly combined in her body. Paired with an extremely beautiful and flawless face, she was like a rose in full bloom, knowing that it would wither in the next moment, so she put all her effort into showing off her bloom.

She was so beautiful that it felt like there was no tomorrow.

Gu Nianzhi was also extremely beautiful, but she did not have the unique charm of a mature woman like song jinning.

Yuan Jianan’s gentle beauty was so captivating that people could not take their eyes off her. When Gu Nianzhi first saw Yuan Jianan’s photo, she had thought that she was the only woman who could compete with song jinning.

But as soon as song Jinning entered, Gu Nianzhi knew she had made a huge mistake.

Song jinning was like a beam of light, and Yuan Jianan’s delicate features instantly looked dull under her light.

There was no harm in comparison, especially between beauties.

There was no first place in literature, and no second place in martial arts.

There was no such thing as a tie between real beauties.

Everyone in the private room was stunned by Song Jinning’s beauty, and fell silent for a moment.

Gu Nianzhi stood up and smiled in surprise. “Miss Song, you’re here! You look so good today! You’re prettier every day than the day before. If this goes on, how are you going to do it?”

Huo Guanchen looked up as well. His heart was racing, but his expression did not change. It was just that his gaze was much deeper than before.

His gaze only lingered on song Jinning’s face for a moment before turning to Lu Yuan, who was beside Song Jinning. He chuckled, he said, “Nianzhi, this is not a problem that you need to worry about. It’s a problem that Mrs. Song’s current husband needs to worry about.”

Lu Yuan, Mrs. Song’s current husband, unhurriedly pulled out a chair and held song Jinning’s arm, allowing her to sit next to Gu Nianzhi while he sat between song jinning and Huo Guanchen.

The corner of Huo Guanchen’s mouth twitched again.

Yuan Jianan, who was sitting next to him, said in surprise, “Is that director song? We’ve met before! Oh, you look so beautiful in this way. You look so much better than when you were only wearing a white lab coat in the lab.”

After a pause, she looked at Huo Guanchen, whose smile was fading, and then at Song Jinning. She smiled and said, “Did you dress up because you wanted to come here to eat with us?”
