Chapter 1600: I Can Even Treat You Better

He Zhichu did not answer immediately. Instead, he continued to look at He Chengjian quietly and persistently.

He Zhichu’s appearance was exactly the same as He Chengjian’s. Both of them had shimmering peach blossom eyes, a high nose bridge, and somewhat cold thin lips. They had a strange combination of amorous and yet unfeeling feelings, which had a different kind of charm.

He Chengjian looked at his son as if he had seen himself when he was young. His heart softened for a moment, and he muttered, “… What do you mean? Take it easy, your old father’s heart isn’t good…”

His hand trembled as he frantically searched for his own special effect medicine in the drawer.

He Zhichu’s eyes were sharp, and he saw a bottle of medicine that he was very familiar with lying in the corner of the drawer.

He bent over and took out the bottle of medicine from the drawer. He poured a pill into his palm and handed it to He Chengjian.

He Chengjian took the medicine, put it in his mouth, and swallowed it.

He Zhichu poured another glass of water for him and passed it over to him.

He Chengjian drank the water from He Zhichu’s hand, and only then did he feel that the tightness in his chest and shortness of breath had slowly improved.

He Zhichu saw that the expression on his face had become better, so he slowly said, “I’m just saying. Please consider it. If you’re not willing, then forget it.”

He Zhichu had no doubts about his mother’s immediate death. He just wanted to know what had happened that year that made his mother angry to death?

He Zhichu’s eyes flashed as he thought of the “doctor” who had performed Gu Nianzhi’s miraculous surgery.

If there were people in this world who knew why his mother, Qin Suwen, was so angry, Gu Nianzhi would definitely be one of them.

He Chengjian nodded. “Okay, let me think about it.”

…

Gu Nianzhi came out of the courtroom and sent Jin Dazhuang and the receptionist, Xiao Zhang, to the airport.

They had arrived yesterday and were flying back to C City in the evening.

Gu Nianzhi’s trial had taken almost half a day. By the time the trial was over, they had to go to the airport for security checks.

She personally drove He Zhichu’s car to the airport.

The receptionist, Xiao Zhang, hugged her and said reluctantly, “When will Lawyer Gu go back? We miss you so much.”

“I’ll go back when I’m done here,” Gu Nianzhi said with a smile. She held her hand and said goodbye. “Take care of yourself. Remember to help me clean my office. No one is allowed to take my place!”

“No problem! I’ll definitely keep an eye on your place for you!” The receptionist, Xiao Zhang, giggled as she went to the security check.

Jin Dazhuang reached out his hand to Gu Nianzhi and said with a smile, “Xiao Zhang only knows how to talk nonsense. Lawyer Gu, will you really go back to our small law firm?”

Gu Nianzhi smiled mischievously and said, “I’m also a shareholder, Jin Dazhuang. You’re not going to swallow my shares, are you?!”

Jin Dazhuang laughed heartily. “No, no! Of course not!”

After sending Jin Dazhuang and the receptionist Xiao Zhang off, Gu Nianzhi drove back to her “rented” apartment.

As soon as she came out of the elevator, Lu Jin ran out of his suite impatiently and reached out to her with a smile. “Congratulations, Congratulations! You’ve won your first battle!”

Gu Nianzhi’s sense of separation vanished as soon as she saw Lu Jin.

She smiled. “Thank you, thank you! Director Lu, are you done with your business? You’re so arrogant today!”

Lu Jin immediately complained to her anxiously. “This is all Boss Lu’s fault! He left just like that and even dragged me away. Otherwise, I would have stayed until the end of the trial!”

The two of them chatted and laughed as they entered Gu Nianzhi’s suite.

Lu Jin went to the kitchen to warm up the milk for her with ease.

Gu Nianzhi put down her briefcase, stretched, and said, “Dad, I’m going to take a shower.”

“Hurry up and go. There’s rose oil in the bathroom that I personally made for you. You just need to put two drops in the bathtub. It’s not only skin-care and beauty, but it also helps you feel refreshed.”

When Lu Jin had nothing to do, he would think about the things these women used. He only hoped that one day, he could give them to his daughter as a gift.

Now that his wish had been fulfilled, he was even changing the way he presented the treasure.

Gu Nianzhi was extremely happy. She walked over and hugged Lu Jin’s arm. She rested her head on his shoulder and said reluctantly, “Dad, you’re so good to me.”

“I can be even better to you!” Lu Jin caressed her head. “I’m heating up some milk for you. I’ll call boss Lu over later to make dinner. What do you want to eat? Do you still want to eat paella?”

Lu Jin was eager to try it. “I’ve studied under Boss Lu for a while, and I want to make it for you personally.”

Gu Nianzhi thought of the choking taste of onions and quickly said, “No, no, no. I don’t eat paella. I just want simple fried rice.”

She remembered that it was the easiest to make. The simplest fried rice only required eggs, green beans, and diced ham. It was also called San Xian fried rice.

She had all these ingredients in her fridge.

Lu Jin scratched his head and said embarrassedly, “San Xian fried rice? I didn’t learn much about it. I’d better ask Boss Lu to come over and cook!”

As he spoke, Lu Jin called Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan was reading documents in Lu Jin’s suite across.

He picked up the phone and conveniently found some ingredients from Lu Jin’s fridge. He carried them over.

“Where’s Nianzhi?” Lu Yuan didn’t see Gu Nianzhi as soon as he walked in. He only saw her briefcase lying on the sofa.

Lu Jin urged him to go to the kitchen and said with a smile, “Nianzhi is taking a shower. It’s been a tiring day. Let her rest more. It’s best if she takes a bath with rose oil to relieve her fatigue.”

Lu Yuan wanted to ask about the verdict of the lawsuit, but Gu Nianzhi was taking a shower. He had no choice but to give up.

However, by the time Gu Nianzhi came out of the shower, Lu Yuan’s four dishes and a soup were already ready.

Gu Nianzhi had gone through a stressful day of mental work today, so Lu Yuan made her a stewed squab with heavenly flax, which was very brain-nourishing.

On the table, there were golden-red prawns with salt and pepper, spicy shredded meat with green and red peppers, steamed fresh abalone, and a fried porcini with white sauce.

The main dish was the San Xian fried rice that Gu Nianzhi had personally ordered. The rice was plump and golden, and every grain was soaked in egg juice. The fresh green beans were delicious and refreshing, and the fresh prawns were marinated with a little yellow wine. It was very delicious and did not have any fishy smell at all.

The dishes on the table were delicious and nutritious, and could also replenish collagen.

Gu Nianzhi looked at the colorful feast on the table and her appetite was aroused. She immediately sat up straight and beamed at Lu Yuan. “Uncle Lu is amazing. This dish is really superb!”

“Of course.” Lu Jin spoke as if he had made this table of dishes. He picked up a large prawn with salt and pepper with his chopsticks. “This is delicious. Eat more.”

He scooped up a small bowl of San Xian fried rice for Gu Nianzhi with a large spoon. “This fried rice is too simple. Does it taste good?”

Gu Nianzhi smiled and said, “A simple home-cooked meal that tastes good is the true standard of a chef. This is called returning to simplicity!”

She picked up a small spoon and scooped a small mouthful of San Xian fried rice into her mouth.

She had just taken a spoonful and she was stunned.

The taste of this fried rice…

She chewed carefully, her brows gradually creasing.

She couldn’t care less about other dishes, so she scooped another big spoonful of San Xian fried rice for herself. It was piled so high in her small bowl.

“Huh? You like my San Xian fried rice so much?” Lu Yuan looked at her happily. “Then eat more. If it’s not enough, I’ll cook more. There are a lot of ingredients, it’s enough!”

Gu Nianzhi smiled. She ate almost nothing else but this San Xian fried rice.

It was because the taste of this San Xian fried rice was too familiar!

She had a very good memory. She could remember everything she saw and the taste of everything she ate after eating it once.

She was very familiar with the taste of Lu Yuan’s San Xian fried rice.

This was because Huo Shaoheng had made it for her in Song Jinning’s kitchen when she had first visited the Huo family.

Song Jinning had said at that time that she was very familiar with the taste.

Gu Nianzhi asked Huo Shaoheng curiously,”… why did your mother say that the taste was so familiar?”

Huo Shaoheng replied, “It’s because this is the fried rice that she used to make for me when I was young. I loved it when I was young.”

If this was a taste that Young Master Huo was familiar with when he was young, how could Lu Yuan make it?

Gu Nianzhi’s tongue was very sharp, and she could taste even the tiniest taste difference.

However, this San Xian fried rice was 99% similar to the one she had eaten in her memory.
