Hello, Mr. Major General
chapter-1863

Chapter 1863: Chapter 1863 presumption of guilt (5)(second update)

Gu Nianzhi was shocked by the furnishings inside as soon as she followed he zhichu in.

The courtyard here was completely imitated the Tang dynasty style. The structure was simple and open, but the small place was also very ingenious.

The atmosphere was vigorous and the exquisite and small miraculously blended together. It was not out of place at all.

A waiter in simple white clothes and black pants walked over. He led the two of them through a small path paved with bluestone. They walked towards a small octagonal pavilion next to the water.

“This is the best scenic spot of the meandering stream. Please take a seat. Breakfast will be served soon.”

Gu Nianzhi looked in the direction the waiter had pointed and realized that the layout of this place was indeed very unique.

A meandering two-foot-wide stream had been built into the shape of a small stream. The bottom of the stream was filled with cobblestones of various shapes, and koi fish of various colors could be seen swimming around inside.

Around the “Meandering stream,”there were many small houses of various colors, just like the octagonal pavilion they were in. The windows shone on the water, in front of the houses, there were plantains, guanyin dripping water, bonsai palm leaves, and other large-leafed plants. It was just like a private room in an ordinary restaurant, but the “Private rooms”here were more grand and luxurious, the few of them were like a small house or pavilion, giving everyone a sense of privacy.

The waiter left. He Zhichu saw that Gu Nianzhi was still standing and looking at the scenery elsewhere, so he pulled Gu Nianzhi’s hand and sat down.

He zhichu found her stunned expression very interesting, so he raised his hand to stroke her hair, he smiled and said, “You’ve been back for so long, but you haven’t had a good time to play around. When the case is over, I want to play host and show you around the capital.”

Xie qingying saw he zhichu and Gu Nianzhi holding hands in a private room not far from them. He zhichu even stroked gu Nianzhi’s hair intimately, and her face instantly burned, it was as if someone had slapped her in the face.

Her best friend, who was sitting next to her, also saw this scene. Her eyes widened and she said indignantly,”… is this what you mean? They’re talking about work? ! A SCUMBAG! I didn’t know young master he was such a Scumbag!”

“And that cousin of yours! She has already broken off the engagement with young master he, but she’s still so intimate with him. Is it really okay?”Xie qingying’s best friend had experienced a man she deeply loved cheating on her, so she could empathize with this kind of situation.

Xie qingying held the chopsticks in her hand. The joints of her fingers gradually turned white due to the force.

“Qingying, don’t hold it in. In terms of relationships, the two of you are equal. “You used to admire him and look up to him, but now that you’re in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, are you really going to turn a blind eye to this?”Her best friend pointed at the two people who were smiling at each other and said angrily, “Don’t Make Me Look Down on you! You weren’t like this in the past!”

Xie qingying had a few boyfriends in the past, and she was very principled towards them. She wouldn’t use them even if they were unfaithful once, and she wouldn’t give them any room to argue.

But now..

Xie qingying pursed her lips. Although she felt very uncomfortable, she still said with difficulty,”… maybe it’s after we finish talking about work, and we’re going out for breakfast.”

“Ha, you believe that? Qingying, you’re hopeless.”Her best friend slammed the table hard.

The sound was so loud that it traveled out through the open window.

Gu Nianzhi was sitting facing the two of them. When she heard the sound, she subconsciously looked up and suddenly realized that it was Xie qingying and her best friend sitting across from her.

The clear stream flowed between them, and the colorful koi swam back and forth in the water.

Gu Nianzhi didn’t think too much of it. She nodded at Xie qingying as a form of greeting.

She smiled and winked at He Zhichu. She teased, “Young master he, cousin Xie is here for breakfast as well. You had an appointment, didn’t you? Did I interrupt your date? Should we ask cousin Xie and her friend to come over?”

She was just being polite. What she and he zhichu were discussing right now could not be heard by anyone else.

However, she could not figure out where he zhichu and Xie qingying were at. If they really wanted to discuss marriage, they were on the same side. It was impossible for them to keep it a secret from her.

Therefore, she kicked the ball to he zhichu to see how he would handle it.

He Zhichu looked up in surprise. Seeing that Xie qingying was forcing a smile at them, he felt a burst of anger in his heart.

His first thought was that Xie qingying was following him.

However, Gu Nianzhi and Xie Qingying’s best friends were beside them, so he couldn’t just ignore them and throw a tantrum at Xie qingying.

Even if he wanted to talk about her, he had to do it after he got back.

He Zhichu had always given Xie qingying face in front of outsiders.

He looked away expressionlessly and said, “I said I had something to do. I don’t know why she’s here. Maybe it’s a coincidence.”

“OH.”Gu Nianzhi didn’t try to persuade him further. “Then hurry up and serve the dishes. I’m really hungry.”

He Zhichu looked behind him. “They’re here. Eat slowly. Don’t be too hasty. It’s not good for your stomach.”

Gu Nianzhi nodded with a smile. “I want to have a good taste of the signature dishes here.”

She could go back and argue with Lu Yuan.

The waiter brought over a table full of breakfast snacks.

He zhichu scooped out a bowl of the peach kernel soup and pushed the black pepper and okra truffles in front of her.

“… and the purple potato bun and the fried rice with termite fungus. It’s not dry at all. It’s good for breakfast. They’re all vegetarian.”

Gu Nianzhi looked at the purple purple potato bun. It was only the size of a thumb and was neatly placed on a small plate. She could eat two of them in one bite.

The fried rice with mushrooms and asparagus was very brightly colored. The fried rice was like pearl rice, and it was indeed not too loud for her to eat in the morning.

Gu Nianzhi took a bite. It was surprisingly delicious, and it was obvious that there were no extra seasonings. She tried her best to maintain the aroma of the food.

She couldn’t stop after one bite, and only focused on eating.

Xie qingying, who was sitting across from him, saw that he zhichu and Gu Nianzhi had noticed her and were still eating their breakfast as if nothing had happened. She had no appetite at all.

She pursed her lips and took a deep breath. She stood up and said in a low voice,”… I’ll Go Say Hi.”

“That’s more like it!”Her best friend pushed her. “Sister, you can go ahead boldly! If young master he is a scumbag, I don’t want him no matter how good he is!”

Xie qingying walked along the winding water goblet path. Her heart was in a mess, and she felt as if she was walking on the edge of a knife with every step.

When she arrived at the octagonal pavilion where he zhichu and Gu Nianzhi were, her smile was a little stiff. “Young master he, Nianzhi, you’re here too? If I knew you guys were coming, I would have ordered the food for you guys first.”

She was showing that she was here first, and not intentionally following them.

Gu Nianzhi looked up and smiled. “Good morning, cousin. The food here is really good. This is my first time here, and I was out on business with young master he. I was passing by, and he was kind enough to invite me over for breakfast.”

He zhichu understood and said plainly, “You guys are here for breakfast too? Nianzhi and I will go do some work after we finish eating. You guys take your time. I’ll tell them later and put it on my tab.”

Xie qingying held back her anger and said, “No need. I can charge it to my account here too. Why don’t I treat you guys to this meal?”

Gu Nianzhi saw that the two of them were about to start arguing, so she quickly laughed and said, “Okay, okay. Young master he will treat you to that meal. Cousin will treat us to this meal. How does that sound?”

She gave he zhichu a look to signal for him not to pull a long face.

He zhichu rubbed his chin, the expression on his face softened, and the corners of his lips curled up. “That’s fine too.”

He looked back at Xie qingying. “Can I?”

Xie qingying thought to herself, you two have already made your decision. Can I say no?

She looked at Gu Nianzhi seriously, she said, “Cousin, if you want to go around the imperial capital, I can accompany you. Young master he has been very busy recently. He sleeps for at most three or four hours a day. I’m an idle person, so I don’t have much to do. If you don’t mind, I can accompany you to eat and play.”

Gu Nianzhi also noticed Xie qingying’s slight resistance and was a little unhappy. She thought to herself, “If I really want to go on a trip and still have to look at other people’s expressions, wouldn’t that be asking for trouble?”?

However, on second thought, Xie Qingying did not know about her relationship with he zhichu, nor did she know what they were doing. It was very normal for her to be in such a mood.

Gu Nianzhi put herself in his shoes. If she had seen Huo Shaoheng being so intimate with another woman, she would have been unable to hold back and wanted to make a scene with Huo Shaoheng.

Of course, she would not make a scene outside, but she would definitely make a scene when she got home.

Gu Nianzhi thought of this and looked at he zhichu with a strange expression, then at Xie qingying. She could not imagine how the elegant Xie qingying would make a scene with the cold and indifferent he zhichu, she couldn’t help laughing.

In Xie Qingying’s eyes, it meant something else.

She only felt that her anger was on the verge of breaking down.

Gu Nianzhi could see that she and he zhichu had a conflict, so she was very pleased, wasn’t she?

And she was laughing secretly. She really didn’t know what to do!

Xie qingying opened her mouth, but her upbringing since she was a child made it impossible for her to be rude in public.

In the end, her eyes dimmed and she said, “Young master he, I have some matters to attend to recently, and I need to leave the capital for some time.”

This meant that the two of them needed to calm down.

He Zhichu looked at Xie qingying, who had endured for so long, and felt a little guilty.

Looking at her back view as she left in a panic, he took out his phone and sent her a message. [ we are going to the Procuratorate later to do some serious business. Don’t let your imagination run wild. ]

Xie qingying returned to her room with her best friend. When she heard her phone ring, she took it out and saw that it was actually a text message from he zhichu explaining.

This was something that had never happened before.

The grievance she had suffered earlier and the anger that had risen in her heart had actually disappeared in an instant.

She touched her face and thought to herself, Xie qingying, you’re really hopeless..

Her best friend saw her like this and snorted,”… useless. I’m going to eat and drink a lot today. Only when my wallet bleeds will you remember this bloody lesson!”

On the other side, Gu Nianzhi saw that the two of them had fallen out, so she stopped joking. She hurriedly finished her breakfast and left the Guanglu Temple restaurant with He Zhichu to go to the Procuratorate in the Third Ring Road.
