The Rebirth of an Orphan

Ling Zhi glanced at Zhao Xihua standing beside Gu Lun and smiled faintly: "Commander Gu, you are too polite. Your Madam saved my mother's life. Since it was the young lady who sent the invitation, how could I not come?"

Zhao Xihua's face changed. Ling Zhi's words were a bit too much.

Gu Lun's eyes flashed. Was he trying to rob her? He just didn't understand. Ling Zhi and his woman had only met twice, and Ling Zhi didn't seem to be the kind of person who liked other people's wives. Why did he want to snatch Hua'er away from him?

His heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this person had discovered that Hua'er was still innocent? Was she not the real young lady of the Gu family?

Gu Lun sneered secretly. He didn't believe in the absurdity of love at first sight. He didn't expect this person to stage this drama in front of him. Humph, you are still too naive to want to snatch my beloved from me.

Gu Lun looked at Ling Zhi and laughed: "General Ling may have misunderstood something. Today's invitation was not what my Hua'er meant. Although she saved your mother, the number of people my Hua'er has saved is too many to count on one's fingers. Saving Madam Ling was just a piece of cake."

Ling Zhi's face was indeed a little gloomy. He looked at Zhao Xihua and smiled, "Miss Zhao is indeed a miraculous doctor who can bring people back to health."

"She's already married. General Ling, please be careful with how you address her. It's not difficult to call her Young Madam." Gu Lun's tone was already a little cold.

Ling Zhi paused and didn't want to argue with Gu Lun, so he sat down at the table. At this time, Boss Li, who was waiting outside, came in with several waiters carrying various dishes and placed them on the table.

Gu Lun and Zhao Xihua saw that Ling Zhi had already sat down, and then they also sat side by side in the seat opposite Ling Zhi. After sitting down, Gu Lun raised his glass to Ling Zhi opposite him and said:

"I invited General Ling tonight for no other reason than that my Huaer ran into trouble while shopping last time, and it was thanks to General Ling's help that my Huaer was saved. I'll toast to the general on behalf of my Huaer."

Ling Zhi also picked up the wine glass with a calm expression, "It's just a trivial matter, and it's also because the young lady and I get along well. Now I want to thank the young lady for helping my mother in time. Young lady, I toast you a glass."

After Ling Zhi entered the box, he had been paying attention to Zhao Xihua. He found that Zhao Xihua was following Gu Lun obediently with the demeanor of a little girl. She was so well-behaved and completely different from her previous confrontation with him. He felt a little uncomfortable.

Zhao Xihua didn't expect Ling Zhi to suddenly push the wine glass in front of her. Originally, this was Gu Lun's toast to him, but he completely ignored Gu Lun, which Zhao Xihua could not tolerate.

Even though she was just playing around with Gu Lun, she and Gu Lun were tied together, and Gu Lun's face was also her face.

Zhao Xihua picked up the wine that Gu Lun had poured for her and smiled at Ling Zhi, "General Ling, this glass of wine is a toast to you, my husband and I. Thank you for your help. I would like to express my gratitude here."

After Zhao Xihua said this, Ling Zhi couldn't help wanting to give Gu Lun face. He raised his wine glass to Gu Lun and said with a smile: "Since the young lady said so, I will accept this favor."

Zhao Xihua had just put the wine glass to her lips when she didn't expect it to be taken away by Gu Lun: "Madam, you can't drink much, so I'll drink this wine for you."

Zhao Xihua secretly laughed. Before, he told her to drink a few more glasses, and now he was drinking for her. She felt that Gu Lun was a bit like a child. However, she knew it very well and didn't say anything, so she just let him do it.

Gu Lun snatched the cup from Zhao Xihua's hand, picked up his own glass and drank it all in one gulp, appearing quite heroic.

Then he took out the dagger that Zhao Xihua had given him and handed it directly to Ling Zhi. Ling Zhi, who had been calm all along, suddenly became stunned. He glanced at Zhao Xihua. This woman had told Gu Lun about what happened between them, and he suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"Haha, I gave this dagger to the young lady just to thank her for saving my mother. What does Commander Gu mean by this?"

Gu Lun sneered, "General Ling, I know you are a man who values ​​friendship and gratitude, but this dagger is too murderous. My Hua'er is just a little woman and can't stand it. Please take it back, General Ling."

Ling Zhi turned around and looked at Zhao Xihua and said, "Madam, I have said before that there is no reason for me to take back the gifts I have given away. Did you forget?"

Zhao Xihua looked up at Ling Zhi: "Major General, although I was born in a small place, I also understand one thing, that is, the husband sings and the wife follows. It has always been said that men and women should not be intimate with each other. It is inappropriate for me to accept gifts from other men in private, no matter what the purpose is. Now I will give this gift to my husband, and I will deal with it as he wishes."

Zhao Xihua's words were powerful, and Gu Lun couldn't help but smile. He put the dagger in front of Ling Zhi and said with a smile: "General Ling, my wife's gift is naturally sent by me. I appreciate General Ling's kindness on behalf of my wife. General Ling, enjoy the delicious food and wine on this table. Hua'er, let's go."

Zhao Xihua and Gu Lun left Wangjiang Tower. As soon as they got into the car, they heard Changfeng's voice: "Young Master—"

"What's the matter?" Gu Lun still had a smile on his face. He was very satisfied with Zhao Xihua's attitude towards Ling Zhi just now.

Changfeng glanced at Zhao Xihua next to him. After all, it was official business, so it would be better to avoid the young lady.

Zhao Xihua was about to evade when Gu Lun held her arm down. He glanced at Chang Feng and said, "Just tell me what you want to say. There's no need to be hesitant. You've been following me for so many years, don't you know what to do?"

Chang Feng's heart skipped a beat and he quickly said, "According to the news from the Presidential Palace, the Queen Mother and the President had a quarrel over weakening the Ling family's military power. His Highness the Ninth Prince asked you to make plans early."

Zhao Xihuamei's heart skipped a beat as she listened with gritted teeth. She didn't expect that Gu Lun's spies were placed next to Queen Mother Wang. You know, it's not so easy to place people next to Queen Mother Wang.

I didn't expect Gu Lun to have such means, but Zhao Xihua didn't want to hear these. It was a burden to her. I just didn't expect Gu Lun to trust her so much.

Zhao Xihua was still shocked to hear this. This was a big deal. The confrontation between the Queen Mother and the President made it seem like the world was about to change. Gu Lun stood on the side of the Ninth Prince. It seemed that the time for the Gu family and the Ling family to fight to the death was about to come.

As soon as Changfeng finished speaking, Gu Lun glanced at the box in front of Wangjiang Tower. The light was still on inside. Ling Zhi hadn't left yet. Gu Lun's eyes sank. He turned and looked at Zhao Xihua: "Hua'er, go home first and rest early!"
