Chapter 144: He Can Actually See His Future
Wu Zhao turned around and said in a calm tone, "I've already told you, Mr. Xie, don't be too greedy."
Seeing Gu Chen walk in, Xie Bujie knew he couldn't stay any longer.
So all he could say was, "I'll definitely make you change your mind!"
He then hurriedly left the room.
After he left, Lan Yao closed the door, then walked to Wu Zhao's side with some concern: "Miss, Jin Yao is here. Shall we have him come and take a look at you?"
"You fainted suddenly, I was a little worried..."
Seeing Lan Yao's furrowed brows and worried expression, Wu Zhao's initial anger subsided slightly.
She chuckled softly. "Don't worry, I'm fine now. As fine as I could be."
Having just obtained a large amount of purple energy from Gu Chen, how could it not be good?
Gu Chen realized he was being ignored, so he obediently sat down on the sofa.
He suggested, "Why don't we let Jin Yao take a look? That way we'll feel more at ease, okay?"
“Heh,” Wu Zhao glanced at him, looking somewhat uncomfortable. “No need for that, I have a better way to recover.”
She stared at Gu Chen with a hint of resentment, gritting her teeth: Didn't that dog Tiandao not want her to get close to Gu Chen? She just had to stick to Gu Chen!
Upon receiving her gaze, Gu Chen seemed to sense something.
He looked up and met Wu Zhao's gaze; a hint of a smile flickered in his dark eyes.
Lan Yao silently moved to the side, suddenly feeling a bit superfluous.
The phone rang abruptly, and Wu Zhao took out his phone to find that it was Wu Xingyun calling.
She pressed the speakerphone button and heard Wu Xingyun's thieving voice come through: "Grandma, I'm at Shen Jiaojiao's hospital. Do you know who I met?"
Wu Liufeng only took Wu Nini and not Wu Xingyun?!
This silly child is still in the hospital.
Wu Zhao was somewhat surprised. Had Wu Liufeng forgotten him, or had he simply not remembered that there was a Wu Xingyun in the hospital?
Although somewhat confused, Wu Zhao still asked, "Who did you meet?"
"I actually saw a member of the Nie family! Oh right, Grandma, you don't know the Nie family?" Wu Xingyun chuckled sheepishly. "The Nie family is my aunt's family. The person I met today is Nie Wu. She is Nini's aunt, but she has already left the Nie family."
The Nie family? That means...
The Northern Wu and Southern Nie, Wu and Zhao are known as the two most famous families of mystical arts practitioners in the world.
The Wu family of the northern capital and the Nie family of Guangdu in the south.
The Nie family appeared at the hospital in Yuecheng, and before that, Wu Liufeng took Wu Nini away. What is the reason for this?
"Why did Nie Wu leave the Nie family?" Wu Zhao asked. "Is she also a sorcerer?"
Wu Xingyun's voice sounded somewhat awkward, as if he didn't want to go into details.
However, after struggling for a moment, he said very softly, "Because she fell in love with someone she shouldn't have, her family objected, so... In addition, although she possesses spiritual power, she doesn't practice mystical arts but instead... witchcraft."
"Although she left the Nie family on her own, it's no different from the Nie family kicking her out of the house..."
"I was quite surprised to see her today, which is why I told you. I heard she and her partner left China to settle abroad, so I didn't expect to see her here—"
His voice was very soft, as if he were talking to himself.
Wu Zhao interrupted him and asked, "Where in the hospital did you see her? What was she wearing?"
"Huh?" Wu Xingyun was stunned for a moment, then honestly replied, "I only saw her leave the hospital, wearing... a white shirt and a black coat?"
"Isn't that right..." Wu Zhao thought to himself, before his vision suddenly went black.
She looked up and met Gu Chen's gaze, and heard him say, "If you want to know about Nie Wu, you can ask me, Zhao Zhao."
...Don't ignore me.
His tone was unusually pleading, and he stared intently at Wu Zhao.
Wu Zhao: ...
How come I can never resist this person's show of weakness?
"Oh, is Mr. Gu here too?" Wu Xingyun heard Gu Chen's voice. "Indeed, Mr. Gu is very familiar with the head of the Nie family. He might know more than I do."
"By the way, Grandma, hasn't my sister returned to the production crew? I called her but she didn't answer."
Upon hearing Wu Xingyun's question, Wu Zhao's lips twitched.
She pushed away Gu Chen, who was leaning closer, and said, "Your older brother came by and took your sister away. If you want to find her, you can contact your older brother."
Wu Xingyun: ...No need, farewell!
"Haha, no need for that. It's good that she's alright. I'll hang up now. I'll go back to the production team tomorrow!"
With a snap, Wu Xingyun hung up the phone.
Shaking his head with amusement, Wu Zhao put down his phone and looked at Gu Chen.
"Speak, what do you know about Nie Wu?"
Gu Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "The person Nie Wu likes is an American, or more precisely, a mixed-race person with a noble title. However... that person also has some connections with the Vatican, so in short, he is a complicated person that the Nie family does not welcome at all."
"At that time, Nie Wu was madly in love with him, and even attempted suicide by cutting her wrists in order to be with him. The elders of the Nie family were furious and almost punished Nie Wu according to family law. The head of the Nie family, who was also her brother, expelled her from the family in order to protect her."
A foreigner of noble mixed descent… Some blond-haired, green-eyed faces flashed through Wu Zhao’s mind. She frowned: “And then what? She left with that foreigner?”
Hearing her address, Gu Chen paused for a moment. Then he said, "Well, she's been abroad for three years now. I didn't expect her to come back. I just don't know if her family knows that Nie Wu is back."
"This incident caused quite a stir at the time, and the Nie family still doesn't want to mention the rebellious Nie Wu. In addition, it was a very ugly affair, and Nie Wu also swore that she would never be a member of the Nie family again and would never have any connection with the Nie family."
He actually swore an oath? Wu Zhao's hand, which was turning the ring, froze for a moment.
People like them take oaths very seriously. Since Nie Wu dared to say that, she must have been prepared to fight to the death.
Has the relationship between the Nie family and her reached this point?
A warm finger suddenly touched the center of her furrowed brow, and Wu Zhao was startled.
He looked up and met Gu Chen's beautiful eyes, a gentle light appearing in his own.
"Don't frown, Zhao Zhao."
"If you want to know, I can help you."
Lan Yao, who had been pretending not to exist, saw Gu Chen raise her hand and quickly said, "Yes, Miss. If needed, I will contact someone to investigate right now."
Wu Zhao was somewhat uncertain.
Nie Wu's appearance was too coincidental, and the cloaked man Xie Buji mentioned also made her feel strange.
“Alright, I need to know about Nie Wu’s life abroad these past few years and... about the man she married.” Wu Zhao nodded and looked at Lan Yao, saying, “Thank you for your trouble.”
Lan Yao smiled and said, "It's my honor."
She opened the door and left quickly.
Gu Chen poked her forehead and said softly, "You're very good to the people around me."
“Because they are capable, useful, and obedient.” Wu Zhao pushed his hand away. “But it’s also thanks to you that I have such good subordinates.”
A low laugh escaped from Gu Chen's throat, making Wu Zhao's ears feel slightly hot.
"So..." he looked at Wu Zhao meaningfully, "how are you going to thank me?"
Wu Zhao glanced at him, and said with a hint of amusement, "Then why don't I do a calculation for you? What do you want to know?"
With a light laugh, Gu Chen seemed to have thought for a moment. Then he said, "Then how about... Zhao Zhao help me calculate whether I will be able to have a daughter in the future?"
"I want to have a daughter; she'll definitely be very well-behaved and adorable."
His gaze was deep as he looked at Wu Zhao.
Feeling inexplicably pressured, Wu Zhao's lips twitched.
She pressed the gemstone on the ring, and the scorching heat almost made her let go.
After a long while, Wu Zhao finally raised his head.
Under Gu Chenwei's slightly bright gaze, he was a little confused.
It's actually possible to glimpse the future of the chosen one of Heaven? Even if it's just a tiny bit.
Has her power recovered to this stage?
Wu Zhao replied, puzzled, "It's strange, why does it appear sometimes and sometimes?"
"Hmm...maybe, there will probably be a pair of twins, a boy and a girl."
