Chapter 115 Meeting Grandpa, Gu Huaizhou's true identity is completely revealed.
After returning from the hospital, Gu Zhen went home to take a shower.
I had just finished showering and was picking out clothes in the dressing room when I heard Patrick Star meowing outside.
It was quite a commotion, like someone was angry.
Gu Zhen raised an eyebrow.
He walked out of the room in his bathrobe and, sure enough, saw Li Xi squatting in the middle of the living room, holding a can of cat food and teasing Patrick Star.
It's no wonder Patrick Star is furious that he can see it but not eat it.
"coming."
Li Xi looked up and saw Gu Zhen wearing a bathrobe, his chest wet with water stains sliding down the depths of the robe, looking alluring.
She quickly covered her eyes with her hands, but her fingers were in a scissor shape, blatantly peeking.
Gu Zhen found it amusing.
He decided to play the role of a male bodhisattva for once, so he simply walked up to Li Xi, squatted down, and generously pulled open the collar of his bathrobe, "Here, take a look, feel free to look."
Li Xi closed her eyes tightly in embarrassment.
If you actually show it to her, she gets embarrassed.
Until a large, kind hand landed on Li Xi's head and patted it gently, he heard Gu Zhen say, "Alright, I won't tease you anymore."
Li Xi then opened her eyes.
Seeing that Gu Zhen had already straightened his bathrobe and was not showing his grapes or abs, Li Xi was relieved.
"Help me pick out an outfit?"
Gu Zhen got up and walked towards the walk-in closet in the bedroom. He said, "It's almost Christmas, and there are couples on dates everywhere on the streets lately."
"We're on a date tonight, so let's dress appropriately."
Li Xi was still dressed very warmly tonight.
She wore a blue and white lettered sweater, paired with jeans, and her hair was tied in a bun. Her coat and scarf were hanging on a floor-standing coat rack in Gu Zhen's house.
Li Xi followed Gu Zhen into his dressing room.
After browsing through his wardrobe for a while, I finally chose a navy blue cashmere turtleneck sweater and a black oversized trench coat.
She then realized that Gu Zhen didn't own any jeans. His wardrobe consisted of nothing but suit trousers, wool casual pants, and occasionally a few pairs of outdoor sports pants.
"Then I'll wear these." She picked out a pair of black and gray herringbone casual trousers.
"Okay, it's all up to you."
After Gu Zhen changed his clothes, he called Li Xi in again, this time asking Li Xi to help him put on his watch.
Li Xi did not refuse.
As she carefully helped Gu Zhen put on his watch, a scene from a TV drama suddenly popped into her mind: a wife putting a tie on her husband.
Li Xi suddenly looked up at Gu Zhen.
Suddenly meeting Gu Zhen's deep, dark phoenix eyes, she felt a moment of panic and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking about how you would tie my tie."
What a coincidence, she was just thinking the same thing.
"I thought you were thinking of helping me take off my bra..."
Gu Zhen: "..."
He suppressed a laugh and said, "Do I look like that kind of pervert?"
"Yes, it looks like it."
Gu Zhen thought about it for a moment and surprisingly did not refute it.
The place they were going to eat was quite far away, and driving there would be very congested, so Li Xi suggested taking the subway.
Gu Zhen was averse to crowded transportation. Just as he was about to refuse, he heard Li Xi say, "If only I were a super rich woman, I could take you anywhere by helicopter."
“In that case, Professor Gu won’t have to endure the pain and squeeze onto the subway with me.”
Gu Zhen was deeply moved by these words. He suspected that Li Xi was indeed a large-scale fish farmer, and that he was a fish in Li Xi's pond, specifically a mandarin fish.
Li Xi doesn't even need to put out any bait; the fish will take the bait on its own.
Li Xi saw Gu Zhen's touched expression and sneered inwardly.
You're just being touched.
When your true colors are revealed, let's see if you dare to make a move!
In the end, they still went on their trip, visiting a farmhouse restaurant located at the foot of Xiangyang Mountain.
The restaurant owners are an ordinary elderly couple, but they grow all the vegetables and fruits themselves, and they also raise their own common ingredients.
As for the seafood and expensive ingredients, they are very fresh, air-freighted from all over the world.
Through Gu Zhen's narration, Li Xi learned that the couple were gourmets who enjoyed a worldwide reputation, attracting many international food lovers to come to them.
The dining area is located on the first floor, with only five tables, and each table is occupied, indicating that reservations are required.
Li Xi and Gu Zhen were led to a medium-sized dining table for six people.
There's no fixed menu at farmhouses; you eat whatever ingredients are available that day, and how you cook it depends on the chef's mood.
Gu Zhen went to the kitchen to select ingredients, while Li Xi sat at the dining table drinking tea and checking Xie Zheng's WeChat messages.
Xie Zheng was surprisingly efficient; she successfully obtained the termination agreement in just two hours.
Xie Zheng will have two more years before her contract expires.
If Xie Xingyun really wants to pursue her breach of contract, Xie Zheng will have to pay him at least a nine-figure sum in damages.
After all, her status is undeniable, and her commercial value is the highest among all entertainment companies.
Xie Zheng said: "He only asked for a five million yuan termination fee."
This is considered extremely merciful.
Li Xi: [The more he regresses, the more he spoils Xie Jiaoyue. Having such a wretched younger sister is his blessing.]
Xie Zheng replied with a sinister smile.
As they were chatting, Li Xi saw a black car drive into the yard through the floor-to-ceiling window of the farmhouse.
The person who got out of the car this time was actually Old Master Gu!
Li Xi glanced at the backyard subconsciously.
Did Gu Huaizhou know that Old Master Gu would be coming today?
If you don't know, then you're in for a lot of fun...
As soon as Gu Wentao and Du Yusheng entered the hall, Li Xi smiled warmly like a little sun and walked over to them, calling out obediently, "Grandpa Gu, Butler Du, what a coincidence, you're here to eat too?"
Li Xi pretended not to see that there was a private room hidden in the corridor on the east side of the hall. She said, "There are no empty seats in the restaurant. If Grandpa Gu doesn't mind, you can sit with us."
"And Mr. Gu is here today too."
“He’s the child you watched grow up, so we won’t feel awkward eating together.”
Gu Wentao looked at Li Xi with delight and said, "Is Huaizhou here too?"
"correct."
Pointing towards the backyard, Li Xi said, "He went to order food."
Gu Wentao had long wanted to have a meal with Li Xi and have a good chat. Overjoyed to receive Li Xi's invitation, Gu Wentao quickly accepted.
"Grandpa Gu, please sit here."
Li Xi helped Gu Wentao sit down in the seat directly opposite the main entrance. This seat is usually the most prestigious and prestigious.
Du Yusheng sat to Gu Wentao's right.
Li Xi was a talkative girl, and Gu Wentao was particularly pleased with her.
The young people wanted to please the older people, and the older people were willing to accommodate the young people. They quickly found common ground and had a pleasant conversation.
They were discussing the possibility of adapting "7 Days of Nightmare" into a film or television series.
Gu Wentao had long ago figured out that Li Xi was the original author of the comic "Seven Days of Nightmare".
Upon learning that Li Xi was going to make a movie, Gu Wentao was very quick to respond without even waiting for Li Xi to ask for investment.
He said, "The Seven Days of Nightmare is a good work, and I look forward to it being adapted into a film. Xixi, I have nothing to do after I retire. If you don't mind, I can be the producer of the film."
"I will make up for any shortfall in subsequent investments."
What do you think?
Would Li Xi be willing to refuse?
Of course she couldn't bear to part with it!
The reason for persuading Grandpa Gu to invest in him was to establish a relationship with the Gu Group so that he could keep an eye on Qiao Yuhong and his gang of bastards when the film was submitted for censorship.
"that would be great!"
Li Xi quickly got up, picked up the teapot, and poured tea for Gu Wentao.
Gu Zhen received a phone call just as he was ordering food.
When he returned to the restaurant after finishing his phone call, Li Xi and Gu Wentao had already become partners who trusted each other and looked forward to the future together.
Gu Zhen saw from afar that his girlfriend and grandfather were chatting happily, a scene of great joy.
He, who was always calm and composed in the face of danger, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
Just then, Du Yusheng noticed Gu Zhen first and quickly reminded Gu Wentao, "Old sir."
Gu Wentao looked up and saw Gu Zhen standing at the back door entrance. He waved to Gu Zhen with a smile and said, "Huaizhou, come here quickly. Your little girlfriend is quite interesting!"
Gu Zhen: ...
Perhaps it was because of the cold weather, but Gu Zhen felt as if his blood had frozen and he was having difficulty breathing.
He stood frozen in place, not daring to look at Li Xi's face.
Seeing that Gu Zhen remained silent, and that Li Xi did not turn around to greet his grandson, Gu Wentao's expression gradually became subtle.
...Did he mean well but end up doing something wrong?
I don’t know how long it took.
So long that Gu Huaizhou had lost all feeling in his body, he suddenly saw Li Xi move.
She stood up.
She left the dining table and walked towards the door.
Is she leaving?
She got angry as expected.
can.
With a creak, Li Xi slightly closed the double wooden door of the farmhouse and said to the landlady with a smile, "It's windy outside, so I'm closing the door."
The proprietress smiled kindly and said, "Okay."
Li Xi then turned around and looked intently at Gu Huaizhou.
Her gaze was calm and gentle.
Gu Huaizhou, however, felt a sense of dread, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar and was being judged by the gods.
The next second, Li Xi walked over to Gu Huaizhou. She reached out her left hand and grasped Gu Huaizhou's cold right hand, gently rubbing it, and said in a soft voice, "Go and have some hot tea first, don't just stand there like an idiot."
"When you get back, think carefully about how to apologize to me."
"Gu Huaizhou, if your apology does not satisfy me, I will disqualify you from being my boyfriend."
After saying that, Li Xi led Gu Huaizhou back to the dining table.
