Chapter 1633: Carefree Attitude
Luo Piaopiao was overjoyed to see that He Zhichu had agreed with her.
“I’m not lying, am I? I told you that I’m Auntie Qin’s niece and that I’m a cousin to Miss Gu!” Luo Piaopiao went up to Gu Nianzhi and held her hand.
Gu Nianzhi did not like physical contact with strangers, so she quietly moved towards He Zhichu.
He Zhichu understood and looked up at Luo Piaopiao.
Although there was no expression in his almond-shaped eyes, just one look from him was enough to bewitch a person.
Luo Piaopiao felt like she couldn’t breathe. Her hands and feet instantly stiffened, and she was unable to move.
This was the first time she had come into close contact with her prince charming, and she regretted not dressing up more beautifully.
Gu Nianzhi saw that He Zhichu’s one glance had made Luo Piaopiao head over heels in love. She was very impressed with him. She gently patted him on the shoulder and gave him an encouraging look.
He Zhichu glanced at her, curled his finger, and tapped Gu Nianzhi on the forehead. He smiled. “You have no manners.”
He Zhichu’s expression had always been cold and impassive, but his smile was like an ice sculpture suddenly melting into a pool of spring water.
Luo Piaopiao felt her legs go weak. She had no choice but to hold on tightly to Luo Yaozu so that she would not embarrass herself too much.
Luo Yaozu did not dare to say anything.
He Zhichu’s powerful aura was cold and stern. He Zhichu did not even look at Luo Yaozu, but he felt as if he had been “pierced by a thousand arrows” by He Zhichu.
Not only did his face hurt, but his chest also hurt.
Luo Piaopiao gave Luo Yaozu a pinch. She wanted him to be successful and at least get close to He Zhichu. This way, even if he could not get Gu Nianzhi, he could still have a relationship with Young Master He and still be able to do whatever he wanted in the Luo family.
However, Luo Yaozu was completely useless.
His assured demeanor in front of the young models was completely useless now.
Luo Piaopiao could only rack her brains to talk to Gu Nianzhi.
“Cousin Gu, are you free? I’d like to invite you to my house for a casual meal.” Luo Piaopiao’s smile was unexpectedly warm.
“Your house…” Gu Nianzhi actually wanted to go. It would be even better if she could meet Luo Piaopiao’s mother.
However, before she could think clearly, she heard Xie Qingying’s voice.
“Huh? I wasn’t here for a while, but why does my cousin have another cousin?” Xie Qingying held Xiao Li’s arm and was walking towards them.
Beside them was a young man in a light camel-colored wool suit jacket. His eyes were calm, his facial features were delicate, and his expression was restrained. The way he walked was rigid, and he looked more mature than his age.
Gu Nianzhi’s gaze fell on the simple medicine box in the man’s hand. She thought to herself, this must be the “Fourth Brother Qin”?
She did not have a good impression people from the Qin family, so she only glanced at him briefly before looking away. She lowered her head and obediently sat beside He Zhichu while drinking her warm milk.
Luo Piaopiao and Luo Yaozu rushed forward.
“Fourth brother is here!”
“Miss Xie, is your leg better?”
One of them held Fourth Brother Qin’s hand, while the other was trying to curry favor with Xie Qingying.
Xie Qingying glanced at them and smiled at Luo Piaopiao. “I heard you call Nianzhi cousin just now. Why didn’t I know that I have an additional relative?”
“… Nianzhi’s mother and my mother are cousins.” Luo Piaopiao quickly explained and asked in surprise, “Miss Xie’s family is also related to the Qin Family?”
Why else would she call Gu Nianzhi her cousin?
Xie Qingying leaned against the bar counter and sat down. She said with a faint smile, “Why would I be related to the Qin family?”
“Because Miss Xie just said that Miss Gu is your cousin, so I’m also related to Miss Gu, so you should also be related to the Qin family…”
Luo Piaopiao tilted her head as she spoke.
Luo Yaozu also nodded vigorously.
Fourth Brother Qin couldn’t stand to listen to this anymore.
If he had known that the two of them would make a fool of themselves today, so he wouldn’t have agreed to bring them here.
“… Miss Gu’s father and Miss Xie’s mother are biological siblings, so they are also cousins. They are closer than Miss Gu and you are.”
He rubbed the space between his brows and said, “Miss Xie’s foot injury isn’t particularly serious, but it’s not light either. Remember to apply the medicine on time and don’t do any strenuous exercise for the next three weeks.”
Xie Qingying nodded and said. “Thank you, Dr. Qin. Thank you for your trouble.” She then asked Xiao Li, “Did you send a car to send Dr. Qin back? It’s snowing heavily…”
Dr. Qin shook his head and said lightly, “I came by helicopter. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to get here so quickly in such heavy snow.”
Luo Piaopiao quickly said, “Yes, we came by helicopter from the Qin Corporation’s Private Hospital. Actually, Brother Qin can fly a helicopter too, right?”
Doctor Qin completely ignored her. He only nodded at Gu Nianzhi and greeted her, “I’m Qin Haoshan, the second son of the Qin family, ranked fourth. Your mother is my aunt.”
His father and Qin Yaoguang were cousins.
Gu Nianzhi smiled, “Hello, Mr. Qin.”
She did not call him “cousin”.
Qin Haoshan was a little unhappy, but he remembered that Gu Nianzhi had even sued her own mother, so he did not expect her to treat her relatives well.
He quickly felt relieved and said, “Uncle wants to invite you back for New Year;s this year. I wonder if you’ve agreed?”
Gu Nianzhi raised her eyebrows in surprise and spread her hands out. “That’s true? I had no idea.”
“I probably didn’t have time to inform you.” Qin Haoshan quickly said, “I was too talkative. Please don’t take offense.”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. I wouldn’t go so far as to pick a fight with someone over something like this.” Gu Nianzhi smiled as she raised her glass of milk at him, and she continued, “But since you’ve already said it, help me reject it. You don’t have to send me an invitation, and you don’t have to tell me, because I won’t be going to the Qin family for the New Year.”
“Huh? Cousin Gu, think about it before you say anything…” Luo Piaopiao panicked. “The Old Master rarely invites people home for the New Year. You should cherish this opportunity!”
“If you want it, I’ll give it to you,” Gu Nianzhi said without hesitation. “I’ll be very busy during the New Year’s. I don’t want to go anywhere.”
Qin Haoshan saw Gu Nianzhi’s firm attitude and that there were too many people here. It wouldn’t be convenient for him to speak up for the Old Master, so he didn’t say anything more. He looked down at his watch and said, “Okay, I’ve talked too much. I’ll bear the consequences. I’ll explain it to uncle and grandfather.”
After he finished speaking, he opened the medicine box and took out a bag of self-made medicine to give to Xie Qingying.
He said politely, “Miss Xie, you can get better faster with this medicine.”
Xie Qingying smiled and took it. “I have troubled Doctor Qin today. Actually, I only sprained my foot. There is no need to trouble Doctor Qin.”
Qin Haoshan was an expert in orthopedics at the Qin Corporation’s Private Hospital. It was a great favor for him to come and see a minor sprained ankle.
Qin Haoshan looked at Xie Qingying intently, and his voice softened involuntarily. “It’s okay. I treat all patients equally.”
Gu Nianzhi looked at Dr. Qin with interest. She thought to herself, If you didn’t look at Cousin Xie with such obvious affection in your eyes, I really would have believed you…
..
Qin Haoshan left with the Luo siblings. Xie Qingying was called by her best friend to meet her friend.
He Zhichu stayed behind at the bar to accompany Gu Nianzhi.
The glass of red wine in his hand was just for show and he didn’t drink it.
Gu Nianzhi coveted the red wine in He Zhichu’s hand and wanted to taste it.
However, He Zhichu knew her intentions, and he didn’t let her taste it. He waved his hand and ordered a glass of red grape juice for her while saying, “Drink it. It’s the same taste.”
Tastes the same my *ss.
Gu Nianzhi was secretly displeased, but she still took the red grape juice. She took a sip and whispered, “Young Master He, Cousin Xie is very popular. If you don’t hurry up, that Dr. Qin will snatch her away…”
He Zhichu turned the glass of wine indifferently and said lazily, “If it’s mine, no body will be able to snatch it away. If it’s not mine, I can’t keep it, so why bother?”
He glanced at Gu Nianzhi with a faint smile in his almond-shaped eyes and said, “I have a carefree attitude towards this kind of thing now. If I get it, it means I’m lucky. If I don’t get it, so be it.”
