The whole family died tragically? The eldest daughter is the most powerful in the capital after her

"General Gu, please be careful with your words. Don't forget that you are lucky enough to wake up now, thanks to me."

Zhao Xiao's intention was to make Gu Nanyuan bow his head in front of him.

However, Gu Nanyuan's expression was indifferent, as if he was listening to an ordinary matter.

"Really? Why do I remember that this was a transaction between us, not a life-saving favor?"

When Zhao Xiaozhi heard this, his expression suddenly turned ugly.

He had never told anyone about the benefits given to him by the Duke of Zhenguo and the Princess, but he never expected that Gu Nanyuan actually knew about it.

But he soon felt relieved. After all, Gu Nanyuan was the biological son of the Duke of Zhenguo and the Princess. It was impossible for them to not tell Gu Nanyuan about the high position and generous salary they promised him.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xiaozhi couldn't help but reveal a look of regret on his face.

It was obviously because of the Millennium Snow Lotus that Gu Nanyuan was able to wake up, but now Gu Nanyuan faced him with such a condescending attitude. How could he not be angry?

In Zhao Xiaozhi's heart, Gu Nanyuan should face him with gratitude. After all, in a sense, he saved Gu Nanyuan's life.

But now Gu Nanyuan's attitude made Zhao Xiaozhi feel a little angry, especially when he thought of Lin Ruoxuan's devotion to Gu Nanyuan, which made him lose his mind for a while.

"General Gu, don't be too proud. I know you came here today for Xuan'er."

"But what I want to tell you is that Xuan'er belongs to me after all. The reason why Xuan'er is still standing by your side and is still married to the Gu family is just that she hasn't seen my good side yet."

"When she sees my kindness in the future, she will naturally understand who is the one who truly treats her."

"General Gu, don't think you can get everything just because you have power. If it weren't for my Millennium Snow Lotus General Gu this time, I'm afraid General Gu would have been a useless man now."

"How can a useless person who can't even get up from his bed have the qualifications to stand beside Xuan'er?"

When talking about this, there was a hint of sarcasm in Zhao Xiaozhi's eyes.

He looked Gu Nanyuan up and down, his eyes full of disdain.

"Just wait. When Xuan'er sees my good side, he will eventually fall in love with me. I will also make sure that I will be the only one in Xuan'er's heart in the future."

Gu Nanyuan couldn't help but narrow his eyes when he saw Zhao Xiaozhi's domineering look.

Before, he thought that Zhao Xiaozhi was a man with some brains. After all, a new noble who could squeeze into the capital city couldn't be considered a stupid person.

But now when he saw Zhao Xiaozhi again, he felt that this man was as stupid as a pig.

Even though he has already deeply involved in the situation in the capital, he still wants to get something that he cannot get.

If you have too much ambition without the ability to support it, you will eventually become cannon fodder.

Gu Nanyuan had lived in the aristocratic circle of the capital since he was a child, so he naturally understood what those ruthless people were like. And people like Zhao Xiaozhi were not even enough to fill the gaps between their teeth.

There is no shortage of smart people in this world; what is lacking is people who are self-aware.

In fact, Zhao Xiaozhi would not be like this in the past. He was not really stupid and naturally understood who he could offend and who he could not offend in the capital.

The Duke of Zhenguo and the Princess were the people he could not afford to offend, but when he faced Gu Nanyuan, he could not suppress the anger in his heart.

Especially when he thought of Lin Ruoxuan's devotion to Gu Nanyuan, he wished he could suppress Gu Nanyuan in everything.

Even those who speak wildly are just trying to support their ridiculous self-esteem.

However, Zhao Xiaozhi himself knew in his heart that Lin Ruoxuan was indeed distant from him now.

Others can't see it, but he can see it clearly.

Moreover, he also saw Lin Ruoxuan's friendship with Gu Nanyuan, otherwise Lin Ruoxuan would not have gone to so much trouble to find the thousand-year-old snow lotus for Gu Nanyuan.

Thinking of Lin Ruoxuan's previous friendship with Gu Nanyuan, Zhao Xiaozhi couldn't help but clench his fingers.

He would never allow someone who had been devoted to him to turn around and throw himself into the arms of someone else, no matter in the past life or this life, he would not allow it!

Looking at Gu Nanyuan's face, Zhao Xiaozhi was actually in a trance for a moment.

He felt that all this was Gu Nanyuan's fault. If he wasn't so powerful, how could Lin Ruoxuan agree to marry into the Gu family?

Thinking about how Lin Ruoxuan had rejected all marriage proposals for him in her previous life, Zhao Xiaozhi's expression eased a little.

No matter what, he still had to get Lin Ruoxuan in this life. He made mistakes in his last life, and he would never go down that wrong path again in this life.

"Mr. Zhao, don't be so confident. There are some things that you shouldn't do. I advise you not to do them, otherwise you might die without knowing how in the future."

Gu Nanyuan's voice was a little deep, and Zhao Xiaozhi felt a little panicked, but he still gritted his teeth and stared at Gu Nanyuan.

"What? General Gu, are you threatening me?"

The reason why Zhao Xiaozhi had such confidence was that he thought Lin Ruoxuan would still be his in the future, so he dared to threaten Gu Nanyuan like this.

Zhao Xiaozhi's extraordinary behavior today was obviously stimulated by Gu Nanyuan's appearance.

After all, the person he had an appointment with today was Lin Ruoxuan, but the person who came was Gu Nanyuan. This could only mean that Lin Ruoxuan had already told Gu Nanyuan about their affairs.

This also shows that Lin Ruoxuan and Gu Nanyuan have a very good relationship. Thinking of this, Zhao Xiaozhi became even more angry.

When he looked at Gu Nanyuan, the expression on his face became a little gloomy.

"Don't worry about that, General Gu. I know how to handle my own affairs."

Although Zhao Xiaozhi knew that he could not afford to offend Gu Nanyuan and the Gu family, he thought of himself as a reborn person and knew what would happen in the future. At this time, facing Gu Nanyuan, he really felt a bit of a challenge.

After all, the future situation is under his control, and he is not worried that the Gu family will take action against him.

As long as he can avoid those disasters, he will naturally be able to leave a name in front of the emperor. It is really hard to say who will win by then.

"General Gu, are you afraid? If you are afraid of the cold, then leave as soon as possible so that I can grow old with Xuan'er."

Seeing Zhao Xiaozhi uttering wild words again and again, Gu Nanyuan's face darkened.

Lin Ruoxuan is his fiancée now, but she always targets him like this. How can he have a good face?

"Since Mr. Zhao is so confident, I will wait and see."

Zhao Xiaozhi snorted coldly when he heard this. "Then let's see who can win the beauty."

Gu Nanyuan was not angry because of Zhao Xiaozhi, but when he thought of the letter that Lin Ruoxue asked Qi Zeshen to send him last night, his expression couldn't help but ease a little.
