Chapter 1564: Forever Imprinted

Lu Yuan glanced at Lu Jin discreetly, but Lu Jin lowered his head, and was no longer looking as smug as before.

Gu Nianzhi was still hesitating. “President Lu, do you think I should go? Young Master He said he would ask me to dance with him, and he even wants to publicly announce that I’m his sister.”

“… Huh? !” Lu Jin suddenly raised his head, and his eyes appeared even rounder than Gu Nianzhi’s. “… What for? !”

“Sister…” Gu Nianzhi looked at Lu Jin in confusion, then at Lu Yuan. She said resentfully, “Actually, when we were over there, Young Master He already said once that he wanted to treat me as his sister… but after he came here, he changed his mind.”

Lu Yuan smiled knowingly, and he said gently, “That’s not strange. Who wouldn’t like someone as good as our Nianzhi? This means that he didn’t actually give up on liking you. There was nothing he could do on the other side, so he could only give up. When he get here, there wasn’t… your fiancé, so naturally he’ll have other thoughts.”

Gu Nianzhi had been trained by Lu Jin to be much more thick-skinned these days. She was able to remain expressionless when faced with overwhelming praises and compliments.

However, Lu Yuan’s casual remark made her blush all of a sudden. She tried her best to resist the urge to cover her face. Gu Nianzhi felt embarrassed and modest.”… President Lu, you’re exaggerating. I’m not that good…”

She thought to herself that these two probably didn’t know that she had spent a lot of effort to woo Major General Huo back in the other world…

“Nianzhi is too modest. She’s not like her father,” Lu Yuan joked.

“Of course my daughter is good. People who like her have good taste and intelligence. People who don’t like her not only have bad taste, but they also have problems with their intelligence.” Lu Jin came back to his senses, and afraid that he would miss any opportunity to praise Gu Nianzhi, he quickly added.

Gu Nianzhi smiled helplessly and said, “Okay, okay. Your daughter isn’t loved by everyone. She’s just generally lovable.”

Lu Yuan: “…”

He wants to take back what he had just said!

This father and daughter were really the same type of people!

Lu Jin took it for granted and held Gu Nianzhi’s hand while saying,”… He Zhichu wants to break off the engagement with you?”

By announcing that he would acknowledge her as his sister, of course he wanted to break off the engagement in disguise.

Gu Nianzhi nodded. “Yes, to be honest, he’s always been nice to me. It’s just that… we’re really not suitable for each other. I treat him like an older brother, so we can’t be in a relationship.”

Lu Jin’s lips twitched. “But if he wants to acknowledge you as his sister, will He Chengjian agree?”

Gu Nianzhi shrugged nonchalantly. “Even if he doesn’t agree, he has to agree. I believe Young Master He will make him agree.”

Lu Yuan laughed. “Yes, He Chengjian’s only weakness is his son. Whoever controls his son will be able to control He Chengjian. Now, it seems that our Nianzhi has the potential.”

Gu Nianzhi quickly waved her hands. “No, no, no! As long as General He lets me go, I won’t dare to control him.”

She knew very well that this time, she had fought with her life not to move He Chengjian, but He Zhichu.

In the end, he still couldn’t persuade her.

A part of Gu Nianzhi’s heart softened. For He Zhichu’s concession and letting go, he had left a permanent mark on her heart.

Lu Jin lowered his head and pondered for a long time. He turned a deaf ear to Gu Nianzhi and Lu Yuan’s idle chatter. Finally, he asked, “Boss Lu, do you have an invitation from the He family?”

“Yes, our Lu Corporation has two invitations every year.” Lu Yuan smiled and nodded. “Secretary Lin and I go every year. Why? Are you going this year?”

Lu Jin made up his mind. “If Nianzhi wants to go, I have to go too.”

“Dad, don’t go.” Gu Nianzhi knew that Lu Jin had been avoiding the He family for the past few years and didn’t want to get too close to his old acquaintances.

Even though he had undergone plastic surgery and even his voice had changed, his way of doing things was too distinctive. If someone who was very familiar with him had been with him for a long time.., perhaps he would remember Gu Xiangwen, the genius scientist who had a antisocial disorder in the past.

Gu Nianzhi didn’t want Lu Jin to be in danger again because of her.

Lu Jin stared at Gu Nianzhi’s lithe and charming face and insisted, “It’s okay. I’m just going to watch the show. I won’t give myself away.”

Gu Nianzhi: “…”

Something sounded wrong.

She shook her head and insisted, “Dad, you really shouldn’t go. President Lu can go with me. You stay behind and provide us with technical support, okay?”

“Technical support?” Lu Yuan didn’t know what Gu Nianzhi was going to do. “What kind of technical support?”

Gu Nianzhi smiled and gestured for him to make a call. “Just monitor the scene and inform us in time.”

Lu Yuan frowned. “But the He family’s Christmas party security is very strong. Our company can’t get involved at all.”

According to Gu Nianzhi’s plan, she had to hack into the he family’s Mansion’s surveillance system. The Huaxia Empire’s security system was one of the highest.

Lu Jin smiled. “No problem. I’ll go hack into their security system now. Wait for me, my daughter. I’ll give you something good…”

He ran upstairs to his room excitedly.

Lu Yuan looked at Lu Jin’s back and scoffed. “What a good brother. You’re actually hiding it from me…”

“President Lu, what do you mean? Why are you talking about my father like that?” Gu Nianzhi pouted unhappily.

Just like Lu Jin had been protecting Gu Nianzhi all the time, Gu Nianzhi also instinctively protected Lu Jin. She didn’t allow anyone to treat him with any contemptuous attitude.

If there was, she would fight with anyone she saw do it. At worst, she would make that person’s life a living hell.

Lu Yuan was also very happy to see that the father and daughter were getting along well. He smiled as he said, “Your father is so sly… I asked him to test the He family’s security system in the past, and he actually said it was too complicated to crack… but it’s not that he can’t crack it, but it’s that he won’t do it for me.”

Gu Nianzhi needed him to crack it, so he did it right away.

Gu Nianzhi was happy to hear that, but she still tried to put on a humble expression. “It’s nothing, President Lu. You’re overthinking it. Of course my father is nicer to me. Isn’t that natural? You won’t be angry, right?”

Lu Yuan: “…”

He had to admit that Lu Jin’s daughter was really Lu Jin’s true disciple.

He didn’t want to lower himself to the level of the father and daughter. He calmly picked up the iPad, opened the invitation system, and looked at the guests tonight. He said, “It’s really lively today. There are 100 more invitations than in previous years. It seems like it’s so grand to welcome He Zhichu home. He hasn’t attended the He family’s Christmas party in four years.”

Gu Nianzhi was lost in thought for a moment before she finally decided. “Then I’ll agree to attend with Young Master He.”

Lu Yuan looked up at her. “Have you thought it through? I just checked. The Qin Corporation has a total of four invitations. Qin Yaoguang, Old Master Qin, Wen Shouyi, and one of Qin Yaoguang’s cousins are all going to attend.”

Gu Nianzhi frowned. “Wen Shouyi? Why is she attending with the Qin Corporation?”

“Qin Yaoguang just divorced He Chengjian today, and she’s even going to the He family’s Christmas party tonight. Why is she so thick-skinned?”

Gu Nianzhi muttered to herself, and couldn’t help but want to give Qin Yaoguang a thumbs up for her mental endurance.

Was it possible that thick-skinned people had better psychological endurance?

Lu Yuan opened the information he had collected on Qin Yaoguang, and he reminded her solemnly, “A woman who can still be good friends with her ex-fiancé’s family for 30 years after her marriage was annulled, and a woman who used her own daughter as an experiment, cannot be analyzed with common sense.

“Don’t underestimate your enemy just because you won against her once. She is also an outstanding medical scientist and biologist. She was the first person to come up with the theory of ‘gene editing’. She is only one step away from winning the Nobel Prize.”
