Chapter 327: True Love
Just as Su Nanzhi was about to speak, Gu Xizhou spoke first.
"Su Nanzhi, I haven't been home for just a few days, and you've caused me such a big trouble."
As he spoke, he slammed the door shut. The slam was so loud that the wooden door frame trembled slightly.
Su Nanzhi also reacted. She looked through the door that was not closed tightly and saw Aunt Gongsun and several gossipy women from Baihua Lane standing at the door. A hint of disgust flashed in her eyes.
It seems that Aunt Gongsun's husband still didn't take any ruthless action, giving Aunt Gongsun some time to sow discord.
She lowered her eyes slightly, covered her face and began to cry fake tears.
"What does this have to do with me? My mother has been dead for who knows how many years. How would I know she could cause me any trouble?"
Although Gu Xizhou knew that Su Nanzhi was crying fake tears, he still felt a pang in his heart. He turned around and slammed the wooden door that had not been closed tightly just now, then dragged Su Nanzhi towards the room.
While dragging her, he didn't forget to curse: "Why don't those people report others, but report you?"
"You just don't know how to behave. I will definitely teach you a lesson today."
…
Entering the main house, Gu Xizhou's scolding stopped abruptly, and Su Nanzhi was just about to look up at him.
The whole person was tightly embraced in a broad embrace.
"Gu..."
Su Nanzhi wanted to speak, but Gu Xizhou held her so tightly that she couldn't open her mouth at all.
After not seeing each other for a few days, the plaster on Gu Xizhou's right hand has been removed.
Regardless of whether he had his right hand or not, Gu Xizhou could easily hold her in his arms.
But at this moment, Gu Xizhou had his arms around her waist, giving her a feeling that she had nowhere to escape.
"I'm fine."
Su Nanzhi poked her head out of his arms, forced a smile on her face and said, "Don't listen to what those gossipy women outside say. I'm fine."
"How did you..."
She was halfway through her words when she was hugged by Gu Xizhou again.
"I just want to hug you."
Su Nanzhi's body froze immediately. Gu Xizhou didn't hug her very often, but it seemed that every time it was at night. The moonlight made her feel more calm and composed.
The weather was just right now. When she looked up, she could see the newly sprouted stubble on Gu Xizhou's face, the dark circles under his eyes, and his eyes filled with emotions she couldn't understand.
Su Nanzhi wanted to look away, but Gu Xizhou's deep eyes were like gems, making her unable to look away.
Thinking of the increasingly intense rumors outside in recent days, Su Nanzhi's body unconsciously softened a little.
The hand that was originally placed stiffly at the side slowly and hesitantly wrapped around Gu Xizhou's waist.
It would be a lie to say that the rumors had no impact on Su Nanzhi.
At least in the short term, having an outsider with capital background will do more harm than good to Su Nanzhi's development.
Gu Xizhou's future partner cannot have any "stains", at least not in the political review.
When Su Nanzhi thought of this, she couldn't help but be shocked.
Unconsciously, she also considered Gu Xizhou in her future.
Gu Xizhou felt a soft touch on his waist, his whole body stiffened, and he held Su Nanzhi even tighter.
Nanzhi, are you accepting yourself?
“Nanzhi, you!”
Gu Xizhou knew it was not a good idea to say this now, but at this moment he couldn't hide his excitement and couldn't help but open his mouth to ask.
But Su Nanzhi covered his mouth first, "Xizhou, do you like your job?"
Gu Xizhou was stunned. Looking at the seriousness on Su Nanzhi's face, the excitement in his heart also decreased a bit. Although he didn't understand why, he still nodded.
Su Nanzhi had a big smile on her face.
"Although the rumors outside are a bit exaggerated, most of them are true."
"Do you know what this means?"
Gu Xizhou frowned, not quite understanding what she meant.
Su Nanzhi broke free from his embrace and took a few steps back before continuing, "You have a bright future. I can't let you be delayed because of me."
Only at this moment did Gu Xizhou understand, and his face instantly darkened. But just as he was about to speak, there was a knock on the door.
Seeing this, Su Nanzhi opened the door before Gu Xizhou and saw Niu Guoxing standing outside.
Niu Guoxing glanced at Su Nanzhi's slightly red eyes and gave a playful smile.
"Brother Lin, why are we quarreling right after we got it back?"
Su Nanzhi suppressed the chaotic thoughts in her heart, glared at Niu Guoxing, pretended to be angry, and stormed back to the bedroom.
In an instant, Gu Xizhou and Niu Guoxing were the only ones left in the main room.
Because of what Su Nanzhi said just now, Gu Xizhou's face was not very good. Niu Guoxing looked him up and down, with a flash of contempt in his eyes.
"Brother Lin, there are plenty of women. If this one doesn't work, just try another one."
Gu Xizhou narrowed his eyes and looked at Niu Guoxing, and said directly: "I have done what you asked me to do. Shouldn't you pay me now?"
He was not in Zhoushan County these days because he was there to complete the tasks assigned by Niu Guoxing and to gain Niu Guoxing's trust.
Now that the mission is "completed", it is naturally time for him to ask for his reward.
Niu Guoxing looked calm. He sat on a stool beside him and then spoke slowly.
"It's not that easy to pledge allegiance to our Sakura Country. The determination you've expressed isn't enough."
Gu Xizhou's face immediately darkened. "You clearly said that you would give me the money as long as I completed the task you gave me."
Niu Guoxing's eyes were full of contempt, but he still had a smile on his face. "You can refuse, but then you won't get the money."
Before he could finish his words, Gu Xizhou had already grabbed his neck.
"If you don't pay me, then you can forget about living."
Niu Guoxing seemed not to feel the murderous intent coming towards him, and his face remained calm.
A dark light flashed in Gu Xizhou's eyes, and he loosened his hand, with a flash of impatience and coldness on his face.
"good."
Niu Guoxing showed an expression of "I expected it long ago" on his face. The Chinese are short-sighted and will do anything for a little profit.
But before the mocking smile on his face could fully appear, he heard Gu Xizhou continue.
"This time, I want to meet your superior!"
Niu Guoxing frowned slightly and was about to refuse, but as if he had thought of something, he raised his eyebrows and nodded, then looked towards the door, "Okay, but you have to bring Su Nanzhi with you."
Gu Xizhou narrowed his eyes and refused without any hesitation, "Why would a man like me call a woman over to do something serious?"
Although he didn't know why Niu Guoxing wanted Su Nanzhi to be with him, it was definitely not a good thing. He couldn't let Su Nanzhi fall into danger.
Niu Guoxing looked at Gu Xizhou with a smile.
"Brother Lin, are you really interested in Su Nanzhi?"
