Chapter 1863: Presumption of Guilty (5)

As soon as He Zhichu walked in, Gu Nianzhi was shocked by the furnishings inside.

The courtyard layout here is completely imitating the Tang style, with a simple and open structure, but the small places are particularly ingenious.

The grand atmosphere and exquisiteness are miraculously integrated, without being obtrusive at all.

A male waiter in simple white clothes and black trousers came over and led the two of them along a path paved with bluestone slabs to a small octagonal pavilion near the water.

"This is the best spot for Qushui Liushang. Please sit down, both of you. Breakfast will be delivered right away."

Gu Nianzhi took a look in the direction pointed by the waiter, and found that the layout of this place was really unique.

A meandering two-foot-wide water flow has been repaired to look like a small stream, with pebbles of various shapes underneath, and various koi fish can be seen swimming in it.

Just around this "Qushui", there are various architectural huts like the octagonal pavilion where they are located. The private rooms in ordinary restaurants are the same, but the "private rooms" here are more atmospheric and luxurious. A few people form a hut or pavilion, which makes everyone feel more private.

The waiter left, He Zhichu saw that Gu Nianzhi was still standing looking at the scenery elsewhere, took Gu Nianzhi's hand and sat down.

Facing her dazed expression, He Zhichu found it very interesting, raised his hand to stroke her forehead, and said with a smile: "You have been back for so long, and you haven't played around well. When the case is over, I will As a landlord, I will take you for a stroll around here + Imperial Capital Sijiu City."

Not far from them, in an elegant room across the water, Xie Qingying watched He Zhichu and Gu Nianzhi holding hands, sitting together without avoiding suspicion, and He Zhichu was even stroking Gu Nianzhi's hair intimately, his face It was hot all of a sudden, as if someone had slapped me in the face.

Her best friend sitting next to her also saw this scene, her eyes widened immediately, and she said with righteous indignation: "...that's what you said, they were discussing work?!—Scumbag man! Unexpectedly, He Shao is such a scumbag male!"

"And that cousin of yours! Is it really okay to be so close to him even though you have already divorced He Shao?" Xie Qingying's best friend had experienced cheating by a man she loved so much, so she felt the same for such a thing.

Xie Qingying held the chopsticks in her hand, the knuckles of her fingers gradually turned white due to the force.

"Qingying, don't bear it, emotionally, you are equal. You used to worship him and look up to him, but now you are in a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship, do you really want to turn a blind eye to this kind of thing?" Her best friend pointed to the two people who were looking at and smiling at each other and said angrily, "Don't make me look down on you! You were not like this before!"

Xie Qingying also had a few boyfriends before, she was very principled towards them, once she was unfaithful, she would not do it a hundred times, and she would not give any room for sophistry.

but now……

Xie Qingying pursed her lips. Although she felt very uncomfortable, she still said with difficulty: "...Maybe I came out for breakfast after talking about work."

"Heh, do you even believe this? Qingying, you are really hopeless." Her best friend slapped the table hard.

The sound was so loud that it went out through their open windows.

Gu Nianzhi was sitting facing the direction of the two of them. Hearing the sound, he raised his head unconsciously and suddenly realized that it was Xie Qingying and her best friend sitting opposite.

A clear stream flows between them, and colorful koi shuttle back and forth in the water without stopping.

Gu Nianzhi didn't think much, and nodded to Xie Qingying as a greeting.

She smiled and blinked at He Zhichu, teasingly said: "Young Master He, Cousin Xie is also having breakfast here. You have an appointment, right? Did I interrupt your date? Do you want to call Cousin Xie and her friends?" come together?"

In fact, she was just saying polite words, what she and He Zhichu were discussing now could not be heard by others.

But she also couldn't figure out where He Zhichu and Xie Qingying had reached.

If you really want to talk about marriage, it's one of your own, and it's impossible to keep it from her.

So she kicked the ball to He Zhichu to see how he handles it.

He Zhichu raised his eyes in amazement and looked over, seeing Xie Qingying reluctantly smiling towards them, his heart burst into flames.

His first thought was that Xie Qingying was following him.

But Gu Nianzhi and Xie Qingying's girlfriends were nearby, so it was impossible for him to lose his temper with Xie Qingying regardless.

Even if you want to talk about her, you have to go back and talk about it later.

He Zhichu has always given Xie Qingying face in front of outsiders.

He withdrew his gaze expressionlessly, and said, "I said I have something to do. I don't know why she came here. It might be a coincidence."

"Oh." Gu Nianzhi didn't persuade him much, "Then serve the food quickly, I'm really hungry."

He Zhichu glanced behind him, "It's here, eat slowly, don't rush, it's not good for your stomach."

Gu Nianzhi nodded with a smile, "I want to taste the signature dishes here."

It's a long way to go back.

The waiter brought a table full of breakfast snacks.

He Zhichu scooped up the bowl of shouwu peach seed nourishing soup for her, and pushed the black pepper okra truffle in front of her.

"... There are also small steamed buns of purple sweet potato, and fried rice with asparagus and mushrooms. They are not dry at all. They are very good for breakfast. They are all vegetarian."

Gu Nianzhi looked at the bright purple purple sweet potato steamed buns, which were only as big as a thumb, neatly placed on a small plate, and she could eat two in one bite.

Fried rice with asparagus and mushrooms, the color is very bright, the fried rice is like pearl rice, and it really doesn't make your throat hurt when you eat it in the morning.

Gu Nianzhi took a sip, and it was surprisingly delicious, and it was obvious that no extra condiments were used, trying to keep the original aroma of the food.

She couldn't stop after taking a bite, and just kept eating hard.

Xie Qingying, who was sitting across from her, saw that He Zhichu and Gu Nianzhi had found her, and was eating her own breakfast like a normal person, losing her appetite at all.

She pursed her lips, took a deep breath, stood up still, and said in a deep voice, "...I'll go say hello."

"That's right!" Her best friend gave her a push, "Sister, you go forward boldly! If He Shao is a scumbag, no matter how good we are, we won't!"

Xie Qingying walked along the path of Qushui Liushang, feeling agitated in her heart, feeling that every step was like walking on the edge of a knife.

When she came to the octagonal kiosk where He Zhichu and Gu Nianzhi were, she smiled a little stiffly, "Young Master He, Nianzhi, you are here too? If I knew you would come too, I would have ordered food for you first."

She meant that she came first and did not follow them on purpose.

Gu Nianzhi looked up and smiled, "Good morning, cousin. The food here is really good. It's my first time here. I went out with He Shao to do some business. When I passed by here, He Shao is very polite and invited me to have breakfast. "

He Zhichu understood, and said lightly, "You guys come to have breakfast too? I'll go to work after I finish eating with Nianzhi. You eat slowly. I'll tell them later and put it on my account."

Xie Qingying held back her anger and said, "No need, I can also keep accounts here, why don't I treat you this meal."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Gu Nianzhi hurriedly said haha, and said, "Okay, okay, why don't you invite me to the meal you ate. Cousin invited you to the meal we ate, so everyone is happy, why not?" Sample?"

She winked at He Zhichu, signaling him not to be sullen.

He Zhichu touched his chin, the expression on his face eased, and he hooked the corners of his lips, "Alright."

He glanced back at Xie Qingying, "Is it okay?"

Xie Qingying thought to herself, you both have made a decision, can I say no?

She took a serious look at Gu Nianzhi and said, "Cousin, if you want to take a stroll around the capital, I can accompany you. Young Master He has been very busy recently and sleeps up to three or four hours a day. I'm an idler, so I'm fine. Cousin, if you Don’t dislike it, it’s still okay to eat and play with you.”

Gu Nianzhi also noticed Xie Qingying's slight resistance, and felt a little unhappy in her heart. She thought that if she really came to travel and had to look at other people's faces, wouldn't she be making trouble on her own?

But thinking about it again, Xie Qingying didn't know her relationship with He Zhichu, nor did she know what they were doing, so it was quite normal to have such emotions.

Gu Nianzhi compared her heart to heart, if she saw Huo Shaoheng so close to other women, she probably couldn't help it, and would have a big fight with Huo Shaoheng.

Of course, you won't make trouble outside, but you must make trouble when you go home.

Thinking of this, Gu Nianzhi looked at He Zhichu with a strange expression, and then at Xie Qingying. No matter what, he couldn't imagine how the elegant Xie Qingying would quarrel with the cool and indifferent He Zhichu. , couldn't help snickering.

In Xie Qingying's eyes, it has a different meaning.

She only felt that her anger was on the verge of collapse.

Gu Nianzhi saw that there was a conflict between her and He Zhichu, was she very proud?

Still laughing, I really don't know what to say!

Xie Qingying opened her mouth, but her upbringing prevented her from being rude in public.

In the end, his eyes were dimmed, and he almost fled and said: "He Shao, I have something to do recently, and I have to leave the imperial capital for some time."

This means that the two of you should calm down.

He Zhichu looked at Xie Qingying's forbearance and forbearance, and felt a little sorry.

Seeing the back of her leaving in a hurry, he still took out his mobile phone and sent her a text message: 【We're going to the procuratorate later, we're going to do business, don't think about it. 】

Xie Qingying went back to the small kiosk where she and her best friend lived, and heard the phone ringing. She took it out and saw that it was a text message from He Zhichu to explain.

This has never happened before.

The grievance he suffered there just now, and the anger that arose from the bottom of his heart, suddenly disappeared.

She touched her face, secretly said Xie Qingying, you are really hopeless...

Seeing her like this, her best friend snorted, "...nothing good. I'm going to eat and drink a lot today, and only when my wallet bleeds can I let you remember this bloody lesson!"

Here, Gu Nianzhi saw that the two had conflicts, so he stopped joking, hurriedly finished breakfast, and left Guanglu Temple restaurant with He Zhichu to go to the procuratorate in the third ring.
