Chapter 150 I Can't Find Him
"I think......"
Gu Zijian pulled his hand back. He saw the ring about to be put on his ring finger, and he immediately realized what was happening and made up an excuse.
"I think it's better to wait until my wedding day to wear it."
"It's alright, just wear it for now. What, do you want me to kneel down for you?"
Lu Jiunian looked up and met Gu Zijian's gaze.
The ring was slipping closer and closer onto his ring finger, getting stuck just below the knuckle. Just as Lu Jiunian was about to push it further in...
Gu Zijian felt a sudden, inexplicable panic. He was afraid that the ring was stuck and he couldn't explain it, so he forcefully pulled his hand back.
"玏珰————"
The ring fell to the ground and rolled a long way.
Gu Zijian put his hands behind his back, avoiding Lu Jiunian's gaze. "I have something to do. I'll come find you this afternoon."
“Zijian.”
Lu Jiu shouted softly.
Gu Zijian froze, his foot still. He turned back. "Is there anything else?"
Lu Jiunian bent down, picked up the ring from the ground, and held it on his finger. "The ring, don't you want it anymore?"
"Oh, right, the ring."
Gu Zijian walked over, took the ring from Lu Jiunian's hand, and casually put it in his pocket.
Then he quickly left.
Lu Jiunian leaned against his desk for a long time. Then he lowered his head and lit a cigarette. In the thin smoke, his expression was somewhat inscrutable.
Since it was a ring made with great care, why did Lu Jiunian have the feeling that Gu Zijian didn't like it?
Gu Zijian's fondness for the ring was not even as great as Shi Nianzhi's.
At least when that silly boy put the ring on his finger, his eyes were full of joy, shining like stars.
That shouldn't be the case.
Those were clearly rings that Gu Zijian treasured like precious gems. He had even almost lost his life for them. How could he suddenly stop liking them?
Gu Zijian took the ring to have it resized.
The shop owner told him, "This ring is exquisitely designed and made in one go. You can tell that the designer and the minter put a lot of effort into it. Changing the size would be the same as ruining it."
"Can't it be changed?"
The shop owner shook his head. "Sorry."
"Then make one just like it."
"this......"
The shop owner shook his head again.
Gu Zijian gritted his teeth, "Make one exactly the same as mine, and you can't do that?"
"I don't have the skill to make a ring like that yet. The design looks simple, but even a slight difference in the weight or lightness of the carving can affect the final product. It's extremely difficult to make, and I'm sorry, I can't help you with that."
"Then make more, and send more people over to do it. I have plenty of money."
"If I'm not mistaken, this carving is by Li Fusheng, a master carver from Country L. That master passed away a year ago, and his works are all priceless treasures. His level of skill is something we can't achieve just by doing more."
Gu Zijian was furious. "It's just a ring! Can't you even make money?!"
The shop owner shook his head while wiping the vase in his hands, "Why don't you try asking at another shop?"
It is indeed difficult for insiders and outsiders to communicate.
Gu Zijian walked out of the store and angrily smashed the ring on the ground.
The shop owner's hand tightened suddenly on the vase, then he shook his head, "What a waste! What a waste!"
Despite her anger, Lu Jiunian knew that there was only one of these rings, and he had already seen it before. Given the man's photographic memory, he naturally recognized it.
Gu Zijian picked up the ring again and tried to put it on his ring finger, but it got stuck on his finger bone, so he pushed it in forcefully.
What can be done now? This is the seventh company his assistant has found for him, and it still can't be changed.
Should we make him go to the hospital and have his bones shaved off?
It seems there isn't such a surgery.
No matter what, this wedding cannot be disrupted. He has just taken over the Gu family. Although Gu Dongxuan trusts him in everything, he needs Lu Jiunian's support if he wants to gain a more stable foothold.
An assistant came over and opened the car door for Gu Zijian. "Third Master has arrived and is waiting for you to try on your wedding dress."
"Is he already waiting for me?"
Gu Zijian paused again as he was about to get into the car.
He stood there looking at his assistant, then, as if he had thought of something, he raised his hand and slammed his ring finger on the car door.
The assistant was stunned and reached out to stop him, but then saw Gu Zijian let out a muffled groan.
He clenched his ring finger, which immediately became red and swollen. Despite the pain and cold sweat beading on his forehead, he smiled and pushed away the assistant who came over to check on him.
His calm voice said, "Take me to the hospital."
"Should we inform Third Master?"
"certainly."
He put on this show just for Lu Jiunian's benefit; as the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone.
In a hundred days, or even just a month, he and Lu Jiunian would be legally husband and wife.
To show his sincerity, Lu Jiunian will sign an agreement with him. If Lu Jiunian divorces him, he will receive half of the Lu family's assets according to the agreement. At that time, will he still have to worry about not being able to stand firm?
Lu Jiunian was truly devoted to the original owner of this body, giving half of his wealth as a betrothal gift.
Even if Shi Nianzhi remembers everything, so what?
Can I come back and compete with him?
Gu Zijian sneered. At worst, he would just give Lu Jiunian to Shi Nianzhi. Weren't they madly in love? He would grant them their wish.
He has everything anyway, so why would he worry about finding a man?
Money and power are the supreme things in this world; they are the things that crush everything else.
Lu Jiunian arrived at the hospital, and Gu Zijian's fingers were immobilized.
He held up his bandaged hand for Lu Jiunian to see, his voice a mix of grievance and coquettishness, "It just happened by accident. I had prepared a surprise for you, saying I'd have you put the ring on my hand when we tried on our wedding dresses tonight."
Lu Jiunian stared at Gu Zijian's fingers.
He put a ring on Gu Zijian's finger in the morning, but Gu Zijian avoided him. In the afternoon, Gu Zijian broke his ring finger.
Lu Jiunian never really believed that such a coincidence could happen in the world.
He stared at Gu Zijian's face. In fact, Gu Zijian's complexion had improved a lot since he was discharged from the hospital.
But for Lu Jiunian, the face in front of him was becoming increasingly unfamiliar.
Lu Jiunian stared at Gu Zijian without saying a word.
Gu Zijian felt a little uneasy under Lu Jiunian's gaze. He subconsciously turned his face away. His face had been slightly altered, and he didn't like being looked at like that by Lu Jiunian.
Lu Jiunian finally spoke calmly, "Since you're injured, you should rest well. You can try on the wedding dress another day."
Gu Zijian turned his head and saw the man's back. He said, "A-Nian, are you angry?"
No, don't overthink it.
Lu Jiunian lit a cigarette and disappeared through the door of the clinic.
For some reason, looking at Gu Zijian's face now, Lu Jiunian's eyes were filled with Shi Nianzhi.
Every move Shi Nianzhi made, every smile, and even the times she threw tantrums and argued with him.
He hadn't realized before that Shi Nianzhi was so likable to him.
So much so that when he thought of him now, he felt a deep bitterness, as if the bitter taste of the cigarette in his mouth had traveled all the way to his lungs, making him feel unbearably miserable.
Where exactly is Shi Nianzhi?
One month later.
Country L.
During his therapy session, Shi Nianzhi attacked his therapist again, attempting to stab him with a knife.
The bodyguards held him down and forced him to the ground.
Gu Yuanyuan rushed in despite the obstruction. He did walk with a slight limp, and he tried to push the 1.9-meter-tall bodyguards away.
Get out of my way!
Damn it, who gave you permission to treat my uncle like this? Let go of him!
roll!
What if he hurt my uncle because he didn't hold back? Get the hell away from me!
Gu Yuanyuan pushed and shoved, but the bodyguards' muscles were like blocks of iron. His hands hurt from hitting them, and he almost bit them.
The bodyguards all knew Gu Yuanyuan because Old Master Su had hinted, intentionally or unintentionally, that she was Su Hengyi's future partner.
Gu Yuanyuan's bodyguards had no choice but to obey, so they released Shi Nianzhi.
Shi Nianzhi got up, grabbed Gu Yuanyuan by the collar, and punched Gu Yuanyuan, sending her flying far away, knocking over a chair and falling to the ground.
Shi Nianzhi seemed trapped in some kind of emotion, unable to extricate himself, his eyes clouded with gloom. He hit Gu Yuanyuan, and the bodyguards went up to stop him.
Gu Yuanyuan covered her face and immediately shouted, "Don't touch him! It's only right for my uncle to hit me, what business is it of yours!"
Shi Nianzhi picked up the chair that had fallen to the ground.
Gu Yuanyuan sat on the ground and stepped back.
Just as Shi Nianzhi was about to smash the chair down on him, Gu Yuanyuan turned around, presenting his back to Shi Nianzhi.
For a long time, the expected pain did not come.
Su Hengyi entered at some point, grabbed Shi Nianzhi's wrist, and knocked her unconscious with a karate chop.
Gu Yuanyuan got up again and stood next to Su Hengyi, his voice arrogant, "Although you are my husband, you hit my uncle, and this is a one-time exception."
Su Heng glanced coldly at Gu Yuanyuan.
Gu Yuanyuan was a little timid, and he only acted timidly in front of Su Hengyi. "Anyway, we're getting married soon, so I'll call you 'husband' first, you can do whatever you want."
Su Heng ignored Gu Yuanyuan and left with Shi Nianzhi on his back.
Gu Yuanyuan kicked the chair over in anger again. Su Hengyi was always like this. In this Su family, he didn't speak at first after waking up.
Later, he started speaking, talking to everyone, even exchanging a few words with the servants.
She just wouldn't talk to him.
He didn't say a word, as if he had a grudge against him.
Gu Yuanyuan was like a pufferfish, getting angrier and angrier until she was about to explode.
Why shouldn't I talk to him?
"Su Hengyi, I am your savior!"
Guest room.
Shi Nianzhi sat up in bed and pressed his forehead, which was a little sore.
Shi Er handed him a glass of water.
Shi Nianzhi reached out and took it, then drank more than half of it.
Su Hengyi said in a low, gentle voice, "Is this time particularly extreme because he's getting married?"
Shi Nianzhi paused in his drinking motion, his fingers tightening around the glass until it shattered in his hand, at which point he released his grip.
Broken glass fell on the floor.
Why hurt yourself?
Shi Er frowned, picked up the first-aid kit next to him, and bandaged Shi Nianzhi's wound.
Su Heng turned on the TV, and Lu Jiunian and Gu Zijian appeared together at the banquet. Countless flashes shone on them, and bodyguards blocked the reporters.
Lu Jiunian held Gu Zijian's hand as they got out of the car and walked along the red carpet. Their fingers were intertwined, showing their affection.
Su Hengyi looked at Shi Nianzhi and said, "Once they get married, Gu Zijian will get half of Lu Jiunian's property when they divorce."
