Chapter 2188: Chapter 2188 I respect you as a man (second update)
Gu Nianzhi took the list of names and quickly walked into the kitchen to stand beside Huo Shaoheng, she asked excitedly, “Why are all three of them here for our wedding rehearsal? Huo Shao, how did you do your security investigation? Are they full of holes? Anyone can get in?”
Huo Shaoheng quickly fried a thousand pieces of tofu into a bowl. At the same time, he scooped up the minced meat and sea cucumbers from the pot beside him, he said gently, “Since they’ve tried so hard to come to our wedding, I’ll give them a chance. I hope they won’t let me down and give us a wonderful performance to enrich the entertainment life of the working people.”
Gu nianzhi stared at Huo Shaoheng, flabbergasted. After a while, she gave him a thumbs up. “Huo Shao, you’re one of the few people who can use the word ‘gloating’in an official tone! I respect you as a man!”
Huo Shaoheng rubbed her head and said casually, “I’m your man. Don’t you know that I’m a man?”
Gu Nianzhi was dizzy from his rubbing. It was the smell of food that had saved her.
She sniffed her delicate little nose and took in the aroma of a thousand pieces of tofu and minced pork mixed with sea cucumber. It was as if she had eaten an extra plate of food.
“Huo Shao, even though you’re busy with work and you don’t Cook for us very many days a month, it’s still worth it even if it’s only for a few days!”Gu Nianzhi looked at the two dishes and a soup that looked delicious, she followed Huo Shaoheng from the kitchen to the dining room like a little tail.
Lu Jin happened to smell the aroma when he entered the door and was shouting in the living room, “Did Shaoheng Cook? I’m going to wash my hands right now!”

Gu Nianzhi smiled at Huo Shaoheng and gave him a thumbs up. “I’m done with my father-in-law, Huo Shao. I still have to respect you for being a man!”
Huo Shaoheng sat down. “Go get the bowls and chopsticks and set them up. It’s been a busy week. Are you and general Lu used to the orderly’s cooking?”
Gu Nianzhi obediently went to the cupboard to get the bowls and chopsticks and filled them with rice. She placed the rice in front of Huo Shaoheng, she smiled and said, “Actually, it’s quite good. I’ve asked around. The orderly sent by the military to my father’s official residence is responsible for cooking. All of them have received professional chef training. One of them even graduated from a professional chef school. He’s a professional.”
The food must be quite good, but it was still inferior to Huo Shaoheng and Lu Yuan.
Huo Shaoheng poured himself a glass of water and said calmly, “Cooking is also an art. Those who are truly good at it must have talent.”
Huo Shaoheng looked at Gu Nianzhi’s downcast face and teased her, “Of course, eating also requires talent. Otherwise, an average person’s tongue wouldn’t be so sharp.”
Gu Nianzhi almost turned from angry to happy.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Huo Shaoheng wasn’t necessarily complimenting her. He only glared at Huo Shaoheng and waited for Lu Jin to wash his hands before eating.
After the meal was almost over, Gu Nianzhi told him about the three people who were going to attend the wedding rehearsal.
Lu Jin looked up in surprise and said, “I heard that the invitation to the wedding rehearsal is even rarer than the official wedding. How did the three of them get in?”
His tone was exactly the same as Gu Nianzhi’s. It was obvious that they were father and daughter.
Huo Shaoheng quietly poured a small glass of red wine for Lu Jin and said, “There’s always a path for the shrimp and a path for the crab. People like them, if they want to do something, there’s always a way to do it.”
“If we keep blocking them and don’t allow them to come, who knows what they’ll do behind the scenes?”
“Huo Shao, what do you mean? Do you think all three of them have ulterior motives? !”Gu Nianzhi’s eyes widened. “I thought it would at most be the Queen of Hearts and Yuan Jianan!”
Lu Jin quickly said, “At the moment, the possibility of Uma is the lowest. She came to the wedding rehearsal for something else, right?”
Huo Shaoheng nodded. “It’s said that Uma is talking about investment. She wants to naturalize Huaxia citizenship, but as you know, Huaxia is not an immigrant country. It’s very difficult to get Huaxia citizenship.”
“Although she’s half-chinese, her mother’s family has been foreign citizens for many generations, so she doesn’t have any shortcuts.”
“She was able to attend our wedding rehearsal this time because she was working with the military on a project.”Huo Shaoheng paused for a moment. He remembered that Gu Nianzhi and Lu Jin were not outsiders, and their security level was only slightly higher than his, he then said in a very reserved manner, “You all know that her federal and national defense companies are the largest federal military contractors in the United States.”
Gu Nianzhi:”…”
She thought for a moment, then slowly picked up the spoon and drank a mouthful of goji berries, red dates, and black chicken soup. Her eyes sparkled. “The largest federal military contractor in the United States needs to return Huaxia citizenship? Then will her company still be able to operate?”
“… so this is a secret.”Huo Shaoheng raised his glass at her and said with a half-smile, “You won’t tell anyone, right?”
“I’d be lying if I believed you!”Gu Nianzhi snapped at Huo Shaoheng with her chin. “According to your organization’s style, this kind of thing won’t be announced unless everything is arranged properly.”
“Since she can participate in our wedding rehearsal, it means she can already be exposed to the public, right?”
“She’s a child to be taught.”Huo Shaoheng pinched her chin and pressed it down. “Where did you learn to judge people by their Chins?”
Gu Nianzhi smiled and pushed his hand away. “Eat properly and don’t touch me.”
Huo Shaoheng:”…”
Lu Jin, who was sitting at the side, was already used to the love and abuse between the two of them. He took his time to pick up a sea cucumber and put it into Gu Nianzhi’s bowl, then picked up another for himself, he then asked, “What about the other two? Are they going to be naturalized as well?”
“Of course not.”Huo Shaoheng was rather polite when he spoke to Lu Jin.
He placed the napkin on the table and handed gu nianzhi a napkin to wipe her mouth, he said, “Yamaguchi Minako came to Huaxia’s C City half a month ago. She came with Smith, a former colleague of Nianzhi’s.”
“Smith’s female companion is Yamaguchi Minako? !”Gu Nianzhi was shocked and almost gasped. “Smith…”
She almost said Smith was ten years younger than Yamaguchi Minako..
Fortunately, when she blurted it out, she remembered Huo Shaoheng’s reverse scale and quickly changed the topic. “Since when did Smith know such a rich man? Is he trying to knock on the door? !”
Lu Jin tilted his head to look at her and frowned. “Who’s Smith?”
“Smith was a lawyer in professor he’s law firm. He worked with me for a period of time. Among my colleagues abroad, I was the closest to him.”Gu Nianzhi paused, she smiled and said, “When I was in trouble in Germany, Smith helped me a lot.”
“Oh, it’s that Smith.”Lu Jin remembered that he had investigated everything and everyone related to Gu Nianzhi. He nodded. “You invited him?”
“He sends me ten emails a day and calls me eight times a day. How could I not?”Gu Nianzhi said angrily. “Besides, he’s really a good friend of mine.”
But she had no idea that his female partner was such an important figure.
Smith, does your mother know that you’re dating Yamaguchi-gumi’s female president, who is ten years older than you?
