Chapter 278: Appreciation Dinner

These words sounded very familiar.

So familiar that He Niancheng instantly recalled it.

However, he didn’t express any shame whatsoever.

He merely gazed at his eyes and said, “She’s already in the university.”

Huo Yingcheng nearly vomited blood.

Beast!

Shameless fellow!

Back then He Niancheng had used these words on him, and now that he was talking about himself, he came up with such a justified and confident reason.

Huo Yingcheng wanted to continue speaking, but then he saw Gu Qingjiu jogging out from the hotel.

Gu Qingjiu, who already saw them, excitedly waved at them.

Seeing Gu Qingjiu’s vibrant demeanor, Huo Yincheng took another look at the cold He Niancheng.

Hmph, pretentious!

“Chief Instructor! Commander Huo, you’re back?”

Gu Qingjiu initially saw He Niancheng first, but upon seeing Huo Yingcheng behind He Niancheng, she instantly waved hello to them, looking delighted.

Although he was silently grumbling about He Niancheng, he still faced Gu Qingjiu with a pleasant smile.

“Yeah, just came back yesterday.”

Gu Qingjiu wasn’t surprised to see a smiley Huo Yingcheng. She said in a natural manner, “Come in with me.”

Service staff had long wanted to go up to them when she saw He Niancheng’s face.

But when she saw Gu Qingjiu go over, and seeing that they seemed to know each other, the service staff could only remain where she was and stare eagerly.

He Niancheng had been around twice now, so he wasn’t foreign to the service staff.

But as he appeared to have a cold disposition, these service staff didn’t dare do anything.

When Gu Qingjiu brought Huo Yingcheng and He Niancheng to the suite, she saw her parents talking in hushed whispers.

“Dad! Mom!”

The instant she called out to the two of them, they quickly turned their heads around.

Upon seeing He Niancheng, Gu Hong stood up first. “My good nephew, hello, hello.”

There wasn’t any problem for him to address He Niancheng as ‘my good nephew.’

He stuck out his hand, and He Niancheng glanced at it for a moment. During that moment, Gu Qingjiu seemed to see a hint of struggle in his eyes.

He was a serious clean freak…

However, it was just for a moment. He stuck out his hand, and although he didn’t smile, his attitude was still considered gentle.

“How do you do, Uncle?”

This subtle reaction didn’t escape Gu Hong’s eyes.

It didn’t make him feel that He Niancheng was being arrogant, but he instantly sensed that a person like him perhaps didn’t like physical contact with others.

Hence, after they briefly shook their hands, the two of them quickly let go of the other’s hand.

Gu Qingjiu introduced them by the side. “Dad, this is Commander Huo, he came to our house before.”

Gu Hong looked towards Huo Yingcheng, who appeared cheerful with his broad smile. “Uncle Gu, Auntie Gu, how do you do?”

“Aye, good, good, good. Hurry up and sit down.”

Qi Yuefeng addressed them warmly, not at all feeling that Huo Yingcheng’s arrival was abrupt or anything.

After the two of them were asked to sit down, Gu Qingjiu sat down next to Qi Yuefeng.

Gu Hong asked the waiter to bring them their food.

He personally poured a cup of tea for He Niancheng. “My good nephew, I will always remember your great kindness. If in the future you have any conditions, so long as it’s within my means, I will do my best for you.”

Although Gu Hong probably wouldn’t be of help to a man of He Niancheng’s status, he had to express his attitude.

Huo Yingcheng listened by the side, sputtering in laughter inwardly.

There definitely was something he could help with. When the time is right, but he might or might not agree.

At this point, Huo Yingcheng gazed towards Gu Qingjiu and was absorbed in thought.
