Part 2 Hello, Mr. Major General I'm Gu Nianzi

223. How should I know?

Today Wen Shouyi lost her temper once; the effect and consequences were better than she anticipated. She had actually calmed down once she left the restaurant. She just hated seeing Gu Nianzhi's smug face and wanted to smack it.
"Professor He, I really have a reason for this. I was planning to tell you about it today. Even if she didn't say anything, I would have explained it anyway." Wen Shouyi jogged up and followed inside.
He Zhichu removed his jacket and threw it carelessly. Wen Shouyi smoothly caught it and hung it in the closet. When she entered the living room, she saw He Zhichu sit elegantly on the red velvet couch, the crimson hue reflecting in his shimmering eyes. Wen Shouyi's heart hammered as she slowly made her way over and stood close to him. She clutched her hands together and said respectfully, "Professor He, the thing is, although Nianzhi isn't adult yet, she's already 17 and will turn 18 in the end of the year. But her guardian is a middle aged man, aren't you worried?"
He Zhichu's eyes flashed, his slightly drunk gaze landed on Wen Shouyi's face, "You're saying, you're worried that he might try something with her?"
If that was the reason, her meddling wasn't all that unacceptable. However, he didn't appreciate someone else reading his mind. He Zhichu looked down and shook his finger, "No, this reason won't hold. If you're worried about this, you could've rented two apartments and have them live apart. Why did you have to be so unnecessary and install cameras in the apartment?"
"...Professor He, it was my oversight, this won't happen again." Wen Shouyi's heart wrenched, she could no longer understand what He Zhichu was thinking.
He Zhichu rose from the sofa, his posture as straight as a pole as he folded his hands behind his back, "You're made too serious a mistake, go back for two months and come back when the Congress is in session again."
He actually was still banishing her
Wen Shouyi could scarcely muster the bitter smile on her face. She wanted to plead her case, but couldn't utter a single word when she looked at He Zhuchi's impassive face. It boiled down to the fact she wasn't as shameless as Gu Nianzhi That little orphan girl could change faces so quickly that a normal person would never be her opponent. She was all too good at flattery and had no morals--this must be because her life was too hard and she couldn't survive otherwise Wen Shouyi's couldn't help the wicked thoughts, but quickly controlled herself. She couldn't be like this, He Zhichu didn't like malicious women
"Yes, Professor He, then I'll back to see my parents." Wen Shouyi carefully glanced at He Zhichu's eyes. He turned to go upstairs without saying anything.
Wen Shoyi looked at the empty staircase in a daze and couldn't help wrap herself in her arms when she thought about her home. Her parents were only gardeners for the He family. It was because she studied hard from a young age and was outstanding that she was chosen to be He Zhichu's side to care for and assist him. If she went back like this, the people at home would know she made a mistake and she would lose all face. Wen Shouyi gritted her teeth and chased after him anyway.
He Zhichu was just about to open his bedroom door.
"Professor He!" Wen Shouyi hastily called, "Do you have any messages for Mr. He?"
He Zhichu didn't turn his head, his slender fingers resting on the door handle and his eyes flashing. He said in a deep voice, "Ask after his health and tell him I'm well."
"Yes, Professor He." Wen Shouyi sighed in relief. With this request from him, she had a legitimate reason to go home and see her family and friends. Everyone would know she was tasked by He Zhichu to return home to ask after Mr. He, his father on his behalf.
Two days later, Gu Nianzhi and Brother Huang went to the Harvard Law School to attend classes and found out that Teaching Assistant Wen was on a holiday. Brother Huang stared at his class schedule for a long time, then looked at Gu Nianzhi. He pointed at the schedule where it said Teaching Assistant Wen was on vacation and pondered, "Nianzhi, this can't be a coincidence?"
"How should I know?" Gu Nianzhi widened her eyes innocently, "I'm not Teaching Assistant Wen. If you want to know the reason, you'd better ask her. You have her phone and email."
Brother Huang gaped at Gu Nianzhi, he's learnt that this young lady was a youngster to be reckoned with--she had the great ability of lying right to people's faces.
Gu Nianzhi refused to back down and stared right back at him.
Are we comparing who has the bigger eyes? Who was afraid of who!
