The Rebirth of an Orphan

The crisp sound broke the silence of the sky, and Uncle Lin, who was watching on the side, was stunned with fear.

Ling Zhi came to his senses. She actually looked down on his gift. Most people were not worthy of this honor, but he did not expect that this woman would look down on it. He just wanted to teach her a lesson.

Zhao Xihua was a little angry. She now regretted why she saved the mistress of the Ling family. If she hadn't saved her, she wouldn't have gotten into this trouble.

"The Major General is a famous young hero. He defends his country and his people, and he is a man of integrity. I just hope that the Major General will take care of his reputation and not be as frivolous as a playboy, which is shameful."

Ling Zhi heard Zhao Xihua's unfriendly tone and felt a little guilty. After all, he was different from a playboy like Qin Mengmeng. So he looked at Zhao Xihua with a serious face and said, "I am rude. You'd better accept this dagger. After all, I owe you this."

Zhao Xihua just felt that this person was a little unreasonable, and the terrible paranoia in his bones made her feel a little scared.

It was already getting dark, and Zhao Xihua looked at the Lexus in front of her car, which showed no sign of moving, and could only say, "Forget it. Since the young general is so kind, I will not refuse it."

Ling Zhi laughed: "Then I won't bother you anymore. It's getting late. Be careful on the road." As he said that, he handed the dagger to Zhao Xihua. It was a shameless act.

Zhao Xihua took the dagger and threw it into the car casually. Ling Zhi looked at it and didn't care, slowly moving away from it to make way for Zhao Xihua's car.

As the car was about to leave, Ling Zhi's cold voice reached Zhao Xihua's ears, "Even if you don't like my gift, I hope you will keep it carefully. Also, there is absolutely no reason for the things that this general has given away to be returned."

Sitting in the car, Zhao Xihua's face changed, and she began to think about it. People from the Ling family are not easy to mess with, but that doesn't mean there is no one who dares not mess with them.

Zhao Xihua did not respond and went straight back to the Gu family compound, returning to her own East Garden villa from the west gate of the Gu family.

As soon as she walked into the door of Dongyuan, Pingshui and Chunfeng came to greet her. Pingshui whispered, "Miss, the son-in-law came back early today and is now in the study."

Gu Lun was very busy at the end of the year, but today he came back early, but she came back late. Given his temper, he should have sent someone to look for her, right? It seemed that Gu Lun also knew about her helping the Ling family.

After taking a bath, Zhao Xihua changed into a set of home clothes, then walked towards the study room carrying the freshly cooked porridge and a few side dishes.

There was a dim light coming from the study, and from the outside one could see a tall figure sitting at the desk, writing something.

Zhao Xihua paused and strode into the study. As soon as she entered, she saw Gu Lun sitting at the desk writing some official documents. Hearing the footsteps, he looked up at Zhao Xihua. Her expression showed no emotion, but rather an unusual indifference.

Zhao Xihua knew that he was angry, so she stood in front of Gu Lun and said, "I heard from Pingshui that you came back early and didn't eat." As she spoke, she took out the porridge and side dishes and placed them in front of Gu Lun.

Gu Lun said calmly, "You're not hungry, so leave it there. If you're tired, go and rest early."

Zhao Xihua couldn't help but laugh secretly. He was already angry but still controlled his temper and spoke. It was really difficult for him.

Zhao Xihua ignored Gu Lun's awkwardness, sat in front of him, looked at him and said, "I have something to tell you, and I'll go back after I finish it."

"What do you want to say?" Gu Lun was still holding a pen and writing on the paper.

Zhao Xihua took a breath and said, "The Ling family's young general helped me last time."

"Yeah." Gu Lun stopped what he was doing.

Zhao Xihua said slowly: "Today on the way home, I encountered the mistress of the Ling family who was suffering from an acute illness. Even if there is some conflict between the Ling family and you, it is a life after all, and I still have some sympathy. After all, I am a doctor..."

Gu Lun's face darkened a little, but he looked up at Zhao Xihua and said, "Am I such a stingy person in your mind? It's reasonable for you to help Ling Zhi back after he helped you. Why should I be angry?"

Zhao Xihua secretly laughed. This person looked like a child. He was obviously angry but still said this. "In that case, I won't say anything. But I know I shouldn't get too close to the Ling family. I won't make it difficult for you. Just help me deal with this thing."

Zhao Xihua handed the dagger that Ling Zhi had stuffed into her's hand to Gu Lun.

Although Gu Lun's expression had not yet relaxed, the corners of his lips were slightly raised.

"Haha, what kind of things can be delivered to you?" Gu Lun's mood improved a lot. Zhao Xihua gave such an important thing to Ling Zhi to deal with. It seems that she has no idea about that boy.

His mood suddenly improved: "This kind of playboy has been in the army for a long time. He will bother pretty women whenever he sees them. He is really not worthy of being treated like this. You'd better avoid him."

Zhao Xihua was speechless, but it sounded a little awkward. She looked at Gu Lun and said, "Alan, you have to think of a way to deal with the dagger. The people of the Ling family are not easy to mess with. When Ling Zhi stuffed the dagger in your hand, he was very persistent. You have to think about it."

Gu Lun raised his eyebrows and laughed coldly, "You're so persistent? What's the point of forcing a woman? Forget it, your father will help you settle it tonight. Come on, I'll take you out for a walk."

Zhao Xihua's heart skipped a beat. Was he going to deal with Ling Zhi? She knew Gu Lun was a brave man, but the young general of the Ling family controlled hundreds of thousands of troops. What was he going to do? Zhao Xihua was not a timid person. She was also a person who could take risks. However, she was still a little worried about dealing with the people of the Ling family.

After all, although Gu Lun and the Ling family are not on good terms now, they have not yet reached the point of fighting to the death in public. She calmed herself down and said:

"Alan, think twice. This is just something a playboy sent. You can just send someone to deliver it back tomorrow. There's no need to make such a big fuss. You're already in a difficult situation, and there's no need to quarrel with the Ling family over such a small matter."

Gu Lun looked at Zhao Xihua and laughed softly: "You care about me?"

Zhao Xihua had nothing to say, and then smiled faintly: "What do you want?"

"Come with me." Gu Lun's voice was overbearing and he grabbed Zhao Xihua's wrist and pulled her up from her seat. Zhao Xihua looked at the moody guy beside him in a daze.

Gu Lun sighed secretly. Logically speaking, Zhao Xihua was definitely a smart woman, but she was a big idiot when it came to feelings.

She was still a troublemaker, she had no idea what kind of man she had accidentally gotten into trouble with. She actually said that the dagger Ling Zhi gave her was just an ordinary object.

This girl is also a fool. His Tianmen Camp has been collecting information about Ling Zhi over the years. This dagger was the first trophy captured by Ling Zhi when he led his troops to the battlefield for the first time.
