Chapter 432: Vixen
Gu Xizhou withdrew his hand and pulled Su Nanzhi into the back seat of the car.
Xia Baichuan was quite open-minded. When he sat in the driver's seat, he returned to the way he was when Su Nanzhi first saw him.
Seeing Su Nanzhi's indescribable expression through the rearview mirror, he did not forget to make up for himself.
"I haven't seen Xizhou for a while, but he's gotten stronger. He's trying his best to avoid embarrassing himself in front of his partner."
Xia Baichuan wanted to continue speaking, but Gu Xizhou gave him a cold look and he dared not say any more.
He lowered his head, started the car, and said nothing.
Su Nanzhi looked at the scene outside the window, her eyes full of curiosity.
In her previous life, she had only seen Taipei City with its tall buildings and bustling traffic.
I have never seen the Taipei City today with its streets full of bicycles and low-rise buildings.
"Xizhou, how long do you plan to stay in Beicheng this time?"
Xia Baichuan was obviously a man who couldn't keep secrets. After the car drove out for a few minutes, he glanced at Su Nanzhi, who looked curious in the rearview mirror, and spoke again.
"Based on your military achievements, you could have been transferred back to Taipei long ago."
Although Su Nanzhi was looking out the window, she also heard what Xia Baichuan said, and her gaze naturally fell on Gu Xizhou.
Gu Xizhou looked straight ahead, but his hand, which was placed on his thigh, had held Su Nanzhi's hand without him noticing when.
"Um."
This vague answer made Xia Baichuan turn around excitedly.
"Xizhou, are you planning to transfer back to Beicheng?"
Gu Xizhou frowned, somewhat annoyed by his startled look, and nodded.
Seeing this affirmative answer, Xia Baichuan would have jumped for joy if he hadn't considered that he was driving.
But even so, he was glared at by Gu Xizhou.
"Are you planning to transfer back to Taipei?"
Seeing that Xia Baichuan was driving honestly, Gu Xizhou just looked away and noticed Su Nanzhi's gaze on the side.
Just as he was about to explain, Su Nanzhi turned and looked out the window.
Gu Xizhou glanced at Xia Baichuan who was driving in front, but didn't say anything in the end.
When they were alone at the guesthouse with Nanzhi, he would explain everything to her.
Half an hour later, the jeep stopped in a military compound.
"Xizhou, if I send you and your wife to the guesthouse, I won't have to go home today."
Xia Baichuan looked at Gu Xizhou's somewhat ugly face, said these words in a hurry, picked up two sacks and walked towards the yard.
Gu Xizhou looked a little irritated, but he still forced a smile and said to Su Nanzhi beside him, "If you don't feel comfortable staying at the Xia family, we can move to the guesthouse."
Su Nanzhi glanced at the Xia family's yard. The yard was very large. In front of the yard was a four-story villa, which was rare in this era. There were some pine and cypress trees and potted plants planted in the yard, which was in line with the Chinese aesthetic of the older generation.
She just took a look and her eyes fell on the villa next to the Xia family.
The two villas are separated by an iron fence, and you can see the yard next door at a glance.
On the second-floor balcony, a woman was holding a cup in her hand, her eyes staring straight at her...Gu Xizhou beside her.
Gu Xizhou followed Su Nanzhi's gaze and glanced at the woman, then pulled Su Nanzhi towards the Xia family's villa.
"That's my stepmother."
Gu Xizhou explained in a low voice, "Ignore her."
Su Nanzhi nodded. While on the train, Gu Xizhou told her some things about the Gu family.
The Gu family is now home to a son and a daughter born to Gu's father and his later wife Yuan Shuwen.
Yuan Shuwen has an ordinary appearance, but he has been well maintained and looks to be in his early thirties.
It was quite different from what Su Nanzhi had imagined.
However, thinking of the disgust with which Yuan Shuwen looked at Gu Xizhou just now, Su Nanzhi couldn't help but feel angry, and the expression on her face was not very good.
Although Gu Xizhou's childhood experiences were due to his bad husband Gu Fu, Yuan Shuwen, who interfered in other people's marriages, could not escape the blame.
"Mr. Su, who are you showing this face to when you come to my house?"
As soon as Gu Xizhou and Su Nanzhi stepped into the door, they heard Xia Qiange's sarcastic voice.
Before Su Nanzhi could say anything, a majestic voice interrupted Xia Qiange.
"Qiange, what nonsense are you talking about? It's rude."
The owner of the voice was an old man with white hair. Although he was a little hunched, he still stood straight. It was obvious that he had been a soldier in his early years.
"Grandpa Xia."
Gu Xizhou stepped forward and gave the old man a standard military salute.
"Nanzhi, this is Grandpa Xia, he helped me a lot."
Su Nanzhi immediately walked up to him and smiled gracefully.
"Grandpa Xia, my name is Su Nanzhi, you can call me Nanzhi."
Grandpa Xia nodded, then looked Su Nanzhi up and down with his sharp eyes.
Su Nanzhi felt that all her secrets were exposed under the old man's sight.
Fortunately, the old man quickly looked away.
"The girl is good, live a good life in the future."
After saying this to Su Nanzhi, he turned to look at Gu Xizhou.
"Come to the study with me."
Gu Xizhou glanced at Su Nanzhi and did not agree immediately.
A hint of helplessness flashed in Old Master Xia's eyes. It seemed that the younger generation he once valued was very protective of his partner.
After all, Qiange doesn't have this blessing.
"Why? Are you still worried that your family will bully your wife?"
He glared at Xia Qiange angrily and said, "If anyone is so blind, don't blame me for punishing you according to my family rules."
Xia Qiange, who was standing by, trembled and looked unhappy, but didn't dare to say anything.
Su Nanzhi pushed Guizhou and said, "Go ahead, I'm fine."
Hearing this, Gu Xizhou nodded and followed Old Man Xia to the study.
After Old Man Xia disappeared, Xia Qiange looked Su Nanzhi up and down with a look of disdain.
"I didn't expect that a country bumpkin like you would actually be able to marry Brother Xizhou."
Su Nanzhi ignored her ugly expression and sat naturally on the sofa in the middle of the living room.
Hearing Xia Qiange's provocative words, a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Thank you. I appreciate the compliment."
Xia Qiange: Who's praising you? And what do you mean by being proud of it instead of ashamed?
"You...if you hadn't seduced Brother Xizhou, Brother Xizhou wouldn't have fallen for you."
When he said this, Xia Qiange's eyes turned red.
Since she was a child, she has been proud of being Gu Xizhou's fiancée. Although Gu Xizhou has not admitted it, there are countless people in the compound who are jealous of her.
After the news of Gu Xizhou marrying a country woman came out some time ago, all these envy and jealousy turned into ridicule.
They laughed at her, saying that the eldest daughter of the Xia family was not as good as a country woman.
Su Nanzhi looked at Xia Qiange's red eyes. She was a little angry at first, but suddenly she felt a little childish.
"Miss Xia, you keep saying that Gu Xizhou was seduced by a country woman like me. Do you look down on Gu Xizhou, or do you overestimate my charm?"
Xia Qiange thought Su Nanzhi would be angry, but he didn't expect Su Nanzhi to say this.
"I'm talking about you. It was you who seduced Brother Xizhou with your seductive tricks. Otherwise, how could Brother Xizhou be interested in you?"
As soon as Xia Qiange said this, he realized that he was wrong.
Doesn't this mean that Gu Xizhou is a person who values beauty?
Su Nanzhi nodded, her face full of joy, "You are the first person who thinks highly of me. I didn't know I had the potential to be a vixen."
Xia Qiange looked at Su Nanzhi's already beautiful face, which was made even more charming by the smile on her face, and an idea flashed through his mind unconsciously.
If she were a man, she might also be bewitched by Su Nanzhi.
