Chapter 542: A Poor Man Does Not Marry a Beautiful Woman
Gu Jiaojiao hung up the phone with Su Shuoci, took a nice hot spring bath, and hummed comfortably a few times.
She forced herself to cheer up and practiced martial arts for half an hour, but her martial arts skills still did not reach the pinnacle.
Although she could easily fight against more than 20 gangsters today, it was also the result of her unremitting efforts, but what if the enemy had more people one day? She couldn't take it lightly and had to practice every day, no matter how late it was.
In her previous life, she also learned various self-defense skills since she was a child. Later, she often flew abroad and encountered riots more often.
So she also learned fighting, karate and taekwondo, and those difficult skills were improved upon in life-and-death crises.
In the six months since she came here, she has encountered criminals several times and had to fight against their weapons and equipment with her bare hands.
This made her feel that she was becoming more and more powerful! In fact, with the blessing of the space spiritual spring water, she was indeed much more powerful.
But she has to be able to handle all problems on her own, no matter when and where she is, without needing anyone's help.
Gu Jiaojiao was immersed in her own fantasy when she suddenly heard a sudden brake sound at the gate of her yard.
Gu Jiaojiao was startled and immediately left the space, stood on the balcony and looked towards the door. She saw a man walking out of the car parked at the gate.
The man was tall and wore a military coat and green military pants. Even in the moonlight, one could clearly see his dark skin.
His face was angular, his eyes were dark, and he exuded indifference and alienation.
Gu Jiaojiao knew him, it was Han Jingshen. Wasn’t he on the front line? Why did he come to her house in the middle of the night?
And he looked fierce! Gu Jiaojiao didn't have time to change clothes. In her space, it was spring all year round, and there was no distinction between day and night, so she wore a set of white training clothes.
He pulled a loose robe onto his shoulders and tightened the belt as he walked down the stairs.
Han Jingshen looked at Gu Jiaojiao, a complicated look flashing in his eyes. He could have called her to ask for clues about the case.
He has been tracking that spy organization, and last night he chased them to the imperial capital and encountered another target who had been taken down.
Before he could torture them, the cowardly thugs gave away the person who beat them, Gu Jiaojiao.
Other colleagues might not know who the gangsters were describing, but Han Jingshen knew it was his aunt as soon as he heard it.
There were some details that they needed to understand clearly, but Han Jingshen didn't want other colleagues to know that it was Gu Jiaojiao.
So he didn't bring anyone with him, and he hurried to Gu Jiaojiao's house without even checking the time. He also came to see her on purpose in his heart.
But he never dreamed that his uncle was not at home yet, and he woke her up from her dream.
Because at this time she was wearing a white pajamas inside, a loose robe outside, and fluffy slippers on her feet, she looked like a little girl.
Gu Jiaojiao was terrified by Han Jingshen's stare, and couldn't help but touch her cheek. She had just washed her face, so there shouldn't be anything! "Han Jingshen, why did you come to my house in the middle of the night? Is there something urgent?"
"Well... did you encounter any criminals in Rainbow Hutong tonight?" Han Jingshen asked straight to the point.
"Yes, those guys are not just ordinary street thugs, right? One of them even has a gun!"
When Gu Jiaojiao talked about those criminals, her face was full of excitement. She had discussed the organization with Han Jingshen last time.
Han Jingshen's eyes fell on her slightly red face, especially her red lips.
His Adam's apple moved slightly, and something flashed in his eyes.
He quickly gathered his thoughts and said expressionlessly, "Aunt, can you please let me in to talk in detail? Where is my uncle?"
"He's going back to Qingcheng to visit his parents. He'll be back tomorrow. It's a cold night, so why don't you go inside and sit for a while."
"My aunt, I can't refuse your kindness, so I'd better obey your order." Han Jingshen said and turned away.
As if afraid that Gu Jiaojiao would go back on her word, he walked towards the living room with his long legs, carrying a briefcase in his hand.
Gu Jiaojiao followed him in puzzled and saw him throw his briefcase on the sofa and then sit down.
She quickly poured him a cup of warm water and handed it to him: "Drink some water, or eat something first?"
Gu Jiaojiao asked uncertainly, because she felt a little hungry at this moment.
Han Jingshen looked up at her, took the cup and drank the water in one gulp.
He saw Gu Jiaojiao standing there staring at him. He put down the empty cup and asked, "Why? Auntie wants to make me a midnight snack?"
Gu Jiaojiao said with a smile: "I'm too lazy to make supper. If you are really hungry, I can make you a bowl of instant noodles."
Hearing this, Han Jingshen curled his lips as if he was laughing: "Instant noodles, then I'd like to try it."
"Then wait a moment, I'll cook it soon." Gu Jiaojiao said and went into the kitchen to cook instant noodles.

Han Jingshen looked at her back, and suddenly an inexplicable throbbing rose in his heart. This feeling was something he had never experienced before.
But when he saw her busying herself for him, he felt a slight bitterness in his heart.
Why didn't he know her earlier? No, in fact, he had heard her name a long time ago, but he didn't care at that time because he and her adoptive brother Sheng Shijing were close friends.
Sheng Shijing didn't know at that time that she was not his biological sister, and whenever he had time he would show off to everyone that he had a lovely sister.
While Han Jingshen was lost in thought, Gu Jiaojiao had already come out with a bowl of steaming noodles.
There are two eggs nestled on top and a few chopped green onions floating on it. The colors match beautifully and it looks very appetizing at first glance.
Han Jingshen, who had great self-control, couldn't help swallowing his saliva. The taste was quite tempting.
Gu Jiaojiao brought the bowl to the coffee table next to the sofa, and then swiftly brought out two plates of cold dishes.
Han Jingshen's eyes swept across the dishes on the coffee table, and finally paused at a plate of braised beef.
A gleam of light flashed across his eyes: "Auntie, what kind of dish is this?"
"You can try the cold-mixed braised beef. I really like it." Gu Jiaojiao explained in a good mood.
The light in his eyes became brighter. He picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, chewing it carefully. A fragrant flavor filled his entire mouth.
"Have you found any clues about the organization you were tracking last time? Let me tell you..."
After Gu Jiaojiao finished her instant noodles, she started talking about what happened to her tonight, or rather last night, because it was already early in the morning.
"Grandma thinks that the father and daughter of the Third Aunt of the Si family are suspects?"
"Yes, I suspect that Doctor Ye has a high position in that organization, because his daughter is number 33, which is quite high in the ranking."
"The clues pointed to Dr. Ye before, but considering that he is Mr. Si's personal doctor, and the Ye family was also a century-old family before its decline..."
"There's a saying that goes, 'When a man is poor, he won't marry a beautiful woman.' If you don't believe me, ask Wu Dalang. But Doctor Ye married a beautiful woman when he was at his lowest point."
