Chapter 179 If We Could Meet Earlier
Ye Jin entered the private room and looked around. Even though it was the end of the world, the decoration was very luxurious.
"Miss Ye, this is where Mr. Gu usually entertains guests." Lao Gao took out the menu from the table and placed it in front of Ye Jin: "These are our signature dishes. Do you usually avoid certain foods?"
“I like spicy food.”
"That's perfect. Our shop just caught a Level 3 mutant rabbit a few days ago. I'll have the chef make you some spicy diced rabbit."
"It's all fine. For other dishes, you can arrange them according to Gu Jingzheng's taste." Ye Jin didn't care. The mutated beasts after the apocalypse all tasted very good, but none of them were as good as the ones raised in her space.
Lao Gao stepped out and went to make arrangements.
When Gu Jingzheng changed his clothes and came in, he saw Ye Jin propping up his head and flipping through the menu boredly.
"What's wrong?" Gu Jingzheng pulled out a stool: "Are you bored?"
"I still think I'm suited to being busy." She felt that once she stopped, she wasn't quite used to it.
Ye Jin looked up at him and saw that he had changed into a white shirt again: "Why do you have so many white clothes?"
Aren't you afraid of getting it dirty? In the apocalypse, blood is everywhere, so she mostly wears black.
"Ahem...what dishes did you order?" Gu Jingzheng touched his nose.
He couldn't say it was because he noticed that when he wore white clothes, in addition to his military uniform, Ye Jin looked at him more than when he wore other clothes. Besides, there was no danger inside the base. When he was outside, he usually wore clothes that could resist getting dirty.
That's true. Gu Jingzheng looks ruffian in military uniform, with an unruly wildness. When he smiles in white clothes, his fangs are shining, and the light of his peach blossom luck is like a young man shining in the sun. It's hard not to look at him sideways.
Gu Jingzheng often sighed that it was because of his appearance that A Jin looked at him twice more.
Ye Jin said: "I don't know, I'll let them make their own arrangements."
"Old Gao has been with me for many years, and he's very reliable." Gu Jingzheng continued, "These and several shops and hotels in the inner city are all my private properties. I prepared them when the capital base was just built."
Ye Jin looked at him with a smile: "What are you doing? Tell me all your wealth?"
Gu Jingzheng looked at Ye Jin, his eyes dark as he said, "I don't have as good a background as Fu Yihao. Even though I'm trying to seize power in the Gu family, it's all because I want to find Grandpa as soon as possible..."
He paused and said, "After all, I am not of the Gu family's bloodline... But I will definitely use all my abilities to make your life better."
"Is birthplace so important?" Ye Jin asked, "You've never had anything bad in your life, so why would you compare your birthplace with others?"
Ye Jin didn't like him being like this. His birth wasn't his weakness. How noble were those who were born better than him? The Yan family was so shady that they used the entire West City base to pay for them.
"You protected the lives of so many people in the Southern Base. How many of those high-ranking families are truly noble?"
Putting these aside, even in terms of ability, how many of the newcomers of this generation of the Gu family can compare to Gu Jingzheng? If there really were, Old Master Gu would not have chosen an adopted son to take the lead.
"A Zheng, you are the best in my eyes."
Gu Jingzheng didn't expect Ye Jin to have such thoughts, and his heart felt warm as if he was soaking in a hot spring.
During the years he was raised in the Gu family, except for his grandfather who was truly kind to him, everyone else always treated him as a thorn in their side.
He dared not stop for a moment and could only work hard to reach the best position so as not to let down his grandfather's cultivation.
"Ajin, thank you... I wish I had met you earlier." Before he met Ye Jin, his life was nothing but boring.
"Isn't it good now?" Ye Jin felt that her rebirth was the best arrangement. She had hatred in her heart but it was not just hatred. She had a higher belief and was much happier than in her previous life where she just lived for the sake of living.
"Okay, of course." Gu Jingzheng held Ye Jin's hand: "But when I think about Fu Yihao being with you for so many years before me, I feel jealous."
Ye Jin laughed: "Hahaha... why do you act like a shrew?" Is it impossible to get over this hurdle?
"If I knew I would like you so much now, I would have engaged you when we first met as children and tied you to me!"
Gu Jingzheng spoke seriously and Ye Jin smiled seriously as well.
