Chapter 1488: Nothing Forcibly Done Is Going To Be Agreeable

He Chengjian had just finished speaking when He Zhichu quickly asked, “Wen Shouyi no longer has any security privileges. How did she get into this study?”

He placed his hands in his trouser pockets and stood beside Gu Nianzhi elegantly. His almond-shaped eyes were cold and clear as he stared at Wen Shouyi emotionlessly.

Wen Shouyi froze, then blushed. She pretended to be calm and said, “General He let me in.”

He Chengjian waved his hand and said nonchalantly, “Yaoguang asked her to talk to me about something else. We can talk in the study. It’s fine. I let her in.”

Since He Chengjian had agreed, He Zhichu no longer pressed the issue. He said indifferently, “I suggested this banquet to welcome Nianzhi back. As for the engagement and marriage, they have to be serious ceremonies. There’s no need to rush to bring it up at the welcoming banquet. It would be too disrespectful to Nianzhi.”

The welcoming banquet was a welcoming banquet, and the engagement was an engagement. Although it wasn’t a big deal to have two matters mixed into one banquet, for people of their social class, it indeed wasn’t serious enough. It was obvious that the man didn’t value the woman enough. That was why he had “conveniently” announced the “engagement” at the welcoming party.

He Chengjian thought about it and felt that He Zhichu’s words made sense.

However, what he was most concerned about wasn’t whether he took this matter seriously or not, but whether or not Gu Nianzhi married He Zhichu immediately. Only then could he rest assured.

Not knowing if her heart had already returned to He Zhichu, he looked Gu Nianzhi up and down.

Wen Shouyi smiled and nodded at Gu Nianzhi. “Did you see that? The He family indeed treats you very well. Although Auntie Qin has always said that she doesn’t regard you as her own daughter, she doesn’t actually mean that. She has always had you in her heart. She has never neglected your happiness.”

“Being able to marry Young Master He and marry into the He family is a blessing from your past life.”

“All the single ladies in Huaxia Empire are desperate to marry him. Of course, such a good opportunity is only reserved for her own biological daughter!”

Her words not only complimented He Chengjian, but also helped to smooth things over for Qin Yaoguang.

Even He Zhichu had to admit that Qin Yaoguang’s proposal was somewhat motherly.

Or else, after her behavior in the ward of the Qin hospital, He Zhichu’s impression of her was really terrible.

In He Chengjian’s heart, of course, his son was the best. There were only people his son didn’t want, and there was no girl who didn’t want his son.

Even if there was, she was temporarily blind. As time passed, he would know how good his son was.

He had spent so much effort to get Gu Nianzhi back, just so she could be together with He Zhichu.

Qin Yaoguang’s suggestion had indeed made He Chengjian very fond of her.

He Chengjian was elated to hear it. “Shouyi, you’re exaggerating. I’m actually old. As long as you juniors can be happy together, I’ll die without regrets.”

Wen Shouyi quickly smiled. “General He, don’t say that. You’re still young. You still have to watch Young Master He and Miss Gu have children. You have grandchildren!”

“Huh? Grandchildren?” He Chengjian’s eyes lit up. His gaze swept between He Zhichu and Gu Nianzhi.

Gu Nianzhi’s eyes darkened as she watched Wen Shouyi draw the cake bigger and bigger for He Chengjian. She had no choice but to ask, “Miss Wen, what do you mean by that? In the ward today, Mrs. Qin and I had already made things clear. She didn’t treat me like her biological daughter, and I didn’t treat her as my biological mother. We almost signed a severance agreement. Where did you get the audacity to turn around and interfere with my personal marriage?”

“Huh? You’re still blaming Auntie Qin?” Wen Shouyi acted as if she had suddenly realized something. “But in the ward today, Auntie Qin was too impatient. You’re also too saucy and looking for a needle in a haystack. Isn’t that why you two started arguing?”

She continued to click her tongue. “Actually, after watching you two talk in the ward today, no one really believes that you two aren’t mother and daughter. You two are similarly stubborn!”

When He Chengjian heard this, he realized that Gu Nianzhi had gone to see Qin Yaoguang today, and she seemed to have caused a scene. He quickly said, “Nianzhi, your mother is indeed straightforward. She says whatever she thinks. Although her words might not be pleasant to hear, she doesn’t hold a grudge against others. She forgets about it after she says it. She’s devoted to medicine and isn’t very knowledgeable about the ways of the world.”

Gu Nianzhi blinked and thought to herself, so it turns out that Ms. Qin Yaoguang was using the “blunt scientist” persona in front of General He…

This persona was indeed very interesting. If she offended you, she would play it off as being ignorant of the ways of the world, and if she said the wrong thing, she would play it off as being blunt.

F * ck, she was completely invincible.

But it didn’t matter. Gu Nianzhi also knew how to use personas.

She was now a “cabbage that craved motherly love yet was abandoned by her own mother” character…

Let’s see who could act who better.

Gu Nianzhi’s eyes reddened, and tears immediately fell. “Yes, she’s a blunt person. She can say in front of me that she doesn’t treat me as her own daughter, but I’ve been yearning for the love of a mother for so many years. What I want most is a biological mother who dotes on me, loves me, and puts me first. She was blunt, but she is also the director of a big hospital. With so many people’s lives in her hands, how could she not know how to speak? — She just thought that she didn’t need to put in the effort to speak properly to me.”

He Zhichu thought of what he had seen in the ward that day and felt extremely sorry for Gu Nianzhi. He put his arm around her shoulder and patted her gently.

He Chengjian saw that Gu Nianzhi was crying and felt sorry for her. He quickly handed her a tissue and said, “Nianzhi, don’t cry. If you feel wronged because your mother goes overboard tell, Uncle He, Uncle He will have a good talk with her.”

Gu Nianzhi took the tissue and wiped her tears, then said aggrievedly, “She doesn’t know the ways of the world, but I’m also an orphan who has no parents and lives under someone else’s roof. Who taught me the ways of the world? How old is she? How old am I? She’d never fulfilled her responsibilities as my mother, yet now she wants to control my marriage? I really can’t accept that.”

Wen Shouyi’s mouth twitched as she watched from the side.

Since when did Gu Nianzhi “crave the love of a mother”?!

She had been following Huo Shaoheng over there. From how smug and arrogant she had been — how was she like a “little orphan who had no parents and lived under someone else’s roof”?

This was too obvious a lie.

Wen Shouyi pursed her lips. She smiled apologetically and said, “Nianzhi, you’re too sensitive. A child doesn’t speak of her mother’s faults. Even if Auntie Qin didn’t pay attention to what she said, it was because she treated you as her own daughter. Does she have to choose her words carefully when speaking to her own daughter? Don’t you think that’s too distant?”

Gu Nianzhi held back her tears, and she said seriously, “I don’t think so. Even if you’re very close like family, you still need to have basic manners. Moreover, she already said that she doesn’t regard me as her own daughter, so your premise isn’t valid. Since your premise isn’t valid, then your conclusion also isn’t valid, so don’t bite the bullet and defend her.”

Wen Shouyi’s face turned red from her rebuke, and she said embarrassingly, “Haha, this isn’t a court of law, so do we still need to rely on logical deduction?”

“Miss Wen, you’re also a lawyer. I thought that speaking logically was a lawyer’s occupational habit.” Gu Nianzhi’s tears quickly returned. “Besides, do you really think that her proposal is to treat me as her biological daughter? You’re too naive.”

Wen Shouyi had always been known for being “level-headed and magnanimity,” but no one had ever called her “naive”.

She was so angry that she couldn’t bring herself to let go. She reflexively asked, “How didn’t she treat you as her biological daughter? She’s chosen such a good marriage for you, yet you’re still not satisfied?! No matter how many people beg for it, they can’t get it…”

Her face full of anger, Gu Nianzhi turned her head away and said, “If she really treats me like her own daughter, she should be concerned about what kind of person I like and who I’m willing to marry! She shouldn’t be so eager to suck up to others and sell me like a commodity!”

He Chengjian frowned and said unhappily, “Yaoguang knows what’s good for you and knows that you’re the one Zhichu loves the most, so what’s wrong with suggesting that you get engaged and get married right away?”

“Of course there’s something wrong.” Gu Nianzhi even refuted He Chengjian’s words. “Who’s the most important person to you, Uncle He?”

“Of course it’s Zhichu,” He Chengjian said without hesitation.

“That’s right. Then what did you think about when you were considering who Professor He should marry?”

“Of course I was thinking about the girl Zhichu loves the most. Letting him marry the girl he loves the most is my biggest wish.”

Gu Nianzhi sighed and said enviously, “Professor He is so lucky to have a father like you.”

To He Zhichu, this father was the best he could hope for.

“But has Ms. Qin considered my feelings? Does she know who the person I love the most is? No! To her, the most important thing is to please uncle he, to make your son happy, not to consider the wishes of my ‘biological daughter’!”

“If people who don’t know heard this, they’d think she was Professor He’s biological mother!”

“Did she ask who I liked? Who I wanted to marry?”

“She didn’t ask anything! Now she’s saying she’s my biological mother. How disgusting.”

Gu Nianzhi said as she glanced at He Zhichu.

He Zhichu felt Gu Nianzhi’s gaze and understood what she meant. He felt an unspeakable pain in his heart.

However, he had promised Gu Nianzhi that he wouldn’t go back on his word.

Gu Nianzhi still had feelings for Huo Shaoheng and was still unwilling to accept him.

If he didn’t say something to express his stance, this young lady would probably fall out with him on the spot.

However, before He Zhichu could say anything, He Chengjian’s expression had already changed. He asked sternly, “You’ve said so much, so does that mean you’re still unwilling to be with Zhichu?!”

Gu Nianzhi didn’t beat around the bush and simply told him the truth. “As you know, I’m already engaged to someone else. The matter with your son is actually just a verbal engagement between the two parents when we were young. It has no legal effect.”

“If you insist on going against my wishes, then try it. I’ll let you guys see that nothing forcibly done is going to be agreeable!”
