Chapter 1717: The Polar Opposites (4)

Gu Nianzhi quickly glanced at Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan was smiling brightly and amiably, as if nothing has happened.

Seeing that, Gu Nianzhi did not say anything further. She smiled and tried to smooth things over. “Wow, there are so many dishes. They look really good!”

“I taught him how to make them.” Lu Yuan raised his wine glass.

“Come, it’s the first day of the New Year. I wish us all the best for the upcoming year where we can get everything we want and throw away everything we don’t want.”

“Haha, I like that!” Gu Nianzhi raised her glass filled with kiwi juice.

“President Lu, I wish you a prosperous new year and a new life partner!”

Lu Yuan was so awkward that he could not say a word.

Huo Shaoheng lowered his head to hide his smile. He raised his glass as well and said to the unhappy Lu Jin, “Uncle Lu, I wish you a major breakthrough in your experiment in the new year. Also, I wish you could walk Nianzhi down the aisle this year.”

In western weddings, there is a red carpet ceremony where the father would walk his daughter to down to aisle and hand her over to the son-in-law who was waiting at the end of the aisle.

Lu Jin was even more unhappy when he thought of this.

“Sigh, I’m afraid I won’t be so lucky. This Peter, he’s really rubbing it in.” He whispered to himself in his heart.

Lu Jin glared at him, but still raised his glass.

Gu Nianzhi said in a daze, “Dad, you must be there with me on that day! I haven’t decided what wedding dress I’m going to wear. But yes! You have to be there!”

Lu Jin took a sip of wine and smiled without saying a word.

Gu Nianzhi tried to describe the western-style weddings she had seen.

“There were so many white chairs on the grassy lawn, and a red carpet in the middle that extended from the entrance to the ceremonial stage.”

“And there was an arch decorated with lilies on the ceremonial stage. The groom was wearing a tuxedo and standing under the arch.”

“The father walked his daughter, who was in a white wedding dress down the aisle slowly. He came before the groom and handed his daughter’s hand to him.”

“Dad, I never thought that one day, my biological father would be the one who is walking me down the aisle.”

Gu Nianzhi’s large eyes were filled with fervent yearning and anticipation.

Lu Jin realized that that would be a beautiful future where he couldn’t resist.

He unconsciously held the his chopsticks tighter. He then scooped a bowl of black ginseng soup for Gu Nianzhi.

With a faint smile, he said, “You don’t even have a boyfriend, and you’re already thinking about getting married? Don’t worry, my daughter is so beautiful. She will definitely be the most beautiful bride!”

To Gu Nianzhi, it was the happiest moment of her life. She had her father sitting on her left, and the man she loved sitting on her right. .

She finished her dinner happily and offered to stay behind to help Peter clean up the dining table.

Gu Nianzhi actually hated washing dishes, but now, she was willing to do it just to stay a little longer with Huo Shaoheng. She even offered herself to do it.

Lu Yuan understood what she was planning. He tried to help her, “That’s good. The company is having a technical issue where I need to consult our major shareholder here, President Lu. We’ll make a move to the living room first.”

“Okay, dad. You and President Lu go to the living room first. We will be there once we are done.”

Gu Nianzhi smiled and she could wait to stay.

However, Lu Jin did not allow it.

He frowned, “Nianzhi, there’s a dishwasher. Why are you finding yourself a trouble? Come, let’s hear what is the technical issue that Boss Lu’s company is having. This company will be yours in the future. It’s good for you to know more now.”

Gu Nianzhi was speechless.

Well, well. It seemed like Lu Yuan’s company was going to have a new major shareholder joining in. However, he did know that with how much Lu Jin treasured Nianzhi, all of his assets would sooner or later passed to her.

Huo Shaoheng stood up. “It’s okay. I’ll be done in five minutes. Nianzhi, go listen to Boss Lu’s problems with Uncle Lu. Maybe you can come up with some ideas.”

Gu Nianzhi had no choice but to follow Lu Jin and stand up. She shrugged. “Okay then, I hate washing dishes anyway. But Mr. Peter is a guest, is it really good to let him doing the dishes?”

“What’s wrong with that? He doesn’t even treat himself as an outsider, why should you worry about him?” Lu Jin said with a sullen face. He grabbed Gu Nianzhi’s hand and walked out.

Gu Nianzhi turned around and smiled apologetically at Huo Shaoheng.

Huo Shaoheng smiled backed and continued cleaning up .

Lu Yuan could not help it but shook his head. He then followed Lu Jin and Gu Nianzhi to the living room.

When they reached the living room, Lu Yuan started to ask questions about the internet security. He frowned and said, “Lu Jin, do you know that we maintain the internet security system of the Qin Corporation?”

Lu Jin nodded. “Of course I know. Didn’t you hold a grand celebration after you signed the contract? You even held it in the H City.”

“Since you know that, what are you trying to do by breaching the internet security system of your own company repeatedly?”

Lu Yuan unceremoniously attacked Lu Jin despite Nianzhi was just sitting beside him.

Gu Nianzhi immediately knew that Lu Yuan had found out that Lu Jin had downloaded information about the intranet of the Qin Corporation for her.

Her eyes flashed, and Lu Jin continued with a straight face when she was about to speak.

“You have to speak with evidence. Boss Lu, you said that I broke through the Qin Corporation’s network security system. Where’s the evidence? Did you find my IP address or catch me in the act?”

Lu Yuan sneered, “When one is asking for evidence, one is implicitly admitting he is the one who did it.”

Lu Jin did not asnwer.

Gu Nianzhi saw that Lu Jin was rendered speechless by Lu Yuan, she quickly said, “President Lu, it’s not that I want to help my father, but your accusations need to be supported by evidence. What’s wrong with that? Besides, my father is only a shareholder of the Lu Corporation, not the management. He doesn’t participate in the daily management, nor does he know that the Lu Corporation currently has a security framework for the Qin Corporation’s network system. May I ask, what is the reason for you saying my father has breached the security system?”

Lu Jin heard Gu Nianzhi speaking up for him, and he quickly regained his composure.

He said proudly, “Boss Lu, my daughter is a barrister. When a barrister asks a question, you’d better answer honestly.”

Lu Yuan really envied Lu Jin for having such an intelligent and outstanding daughter.

But sooner or later, this daughter would be part of their family.

Lu Yuan laughed. “Of course I have my reasons. My reasons are…”

He pointed in the direction of Lu Jin’s apartment. “Lu Jin’s computer. There must be a lot of information about the Qin Corporation in it.”

“In that case, you actually don’t have any evidence.” Gu Nianzhi patted Lu Jin on the shoulder. “Dad, don’t be afraid. Don’t be fooled by President Lu. He doesn’t have any evidence, so he was trying to trick you.”

Lu Jin heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. “My llittle girl is the best. I was really scared to death just now!”

He patted his chest and made a “scared” expression, which made Gu Nianzhi giggled.

Lu Yuan could only shake his head helplessly. “I know your computer skills are excellent, but it’s better not to do something like this.”

Lu Jin chuckled. “I didn’t do it. I, didn’t do it! Don’t talk nonsense.”

Huo Shaoheng walked in and asked casually,” What did I just miss ? What was it that Uncle Lu didn’t do?”

Lu Yuan told him about how the internal network of the Qin Corporation being breached.

Huo Shaoheng was speechless.

“Then how did you know? If there weren’t any traces left behind?” Gu Nianzhi asked curiously, wondering if Lu Yuan was hiding something.

Lu Yuan smiled and said, “Of course it was your amazing father who helped me. He designed a software that can track and safeguard all our customers. As long as someone breaks into the intranet system, this software will give a warning.”

Gu Nianzhi was embarrassed.

So it was another problem of contradictions.

Lu Jin slapped his head. “Oh, I forgot! I want to take back my system!”

“No returns, no exchanges,” Lu Yuan said with a half-smile. He sat down on the sofa and crossed his legs.

Huo Shaoheng saw that they had gone too far. He took out his phone and sent Gu Nianzhi a text message: [The experimental design that Ishihara Baisan copied. What’s wrong with it? ]

Gu Nianzhi saw it and she changed the subject without batting an eyelid.

She held her phone and spun around. She looked at Lu Jin and asked, “Dad, before dinner, you said that the Gu and He families in this world are completely different from the ones in the other world. Is that true?”

Not to mention about Lu Yuan’s real identify, even before this, Gu Nianzhi knew that he knew about the other world.

When Gu Nianzhi was kidnapped by He Chengjian, Lu Yuan was aware that Lu Jin had engaged in an energy battle with He Chengjian’s troops.

He had already known that Gu Nianzhi was Lu Jin’s daughter, and that she was kidnapped by He Chengjian from the opposite world.

Therefore, for sure he knew about the opposite world, and Gu Nianzhi had no intention of hiding it from him.
