Listening to Gu Qi’s words, Lu Xingzhe’s eyes flashed with disbelief, "The Overflowing Star Creeper was dug up by Qiqi... by Gu Zhiqi?"
That Overflowing Star Creeper was something she painfully spent a fortune on at the Imperial Sky Realm Pavilion, nurtured it for a long time before it finally thrived.
Thinking of this, Lu Xingzhe turned his head and glanced at Gu Zhiqi.
His expression was complex.
The anger in his heart that had been building up for two years suddenly subsided by more than half.
If she could bring herself to dig up even her beloved vine, maybe, it wasn’t as simple as just amnesia.
Hearing Lu Xingzhe’s question, Gu Zhiqi suddenly fell silent, refusing to speak to Lu Xingzhe again.
After a long silence, Gu Zhiqi exited the file editing, opened the chat with Gu Huaijin, and sent him a message.
[Qiqi: What happened to the large section of the garden that was dug up?]
[Qiqi: Especially that creeper, the one that wound around the trellis, blooming like stars]
It couldn’t possibly have all been turned into the soil as fertilizer, could it?
It wasn’t long before Gu Zhiqi sent the message that Gu Huaijin replied.
[Gu Huaijin: Why suddenly ask about this?]
[Gu Huaijin: Who told you there was a creeper on the trellis?]
[Qiqi: Just asking, Lu Xingzhe said so.]
Gu Zhiqi directly answered both his questions.
Gu Huaijin was typing for quite a while on the other side, and after a long pause, he sent over a lengthy sentence.
[Gu Huaijin: Most of those plants were destroyed, the remaining ones were sent to the Herb Field at Qiwu Mountain Villa for care, including several of that creeper, but none of them survived.]
That creeper was the most expensive one!
Gu Zhiqi felt a pang for the dead Overflowing Star Creeper for a few seconds before Gu Huaijin sent another message.
[Gu Huaijin: That creeper, Xiao Shu took one, you can ask her if she managed to keep it alive.]
[Qiqi: Who is Xiao Shu?]
[Gu Huaijin: Xingzhe has already sought you out, hasn’t Xiao Shu sought you out?]
Could it be, another classmate from kindergarten?
[Gu Huaijin: Qiao Qingshu]
Her odd and quirky deskmate?
Keeping this matter in mind, she asked Gu Huaijin another question.
[Qiqi: Where is Qiwu Mountain Villa?]
[Qiqi: Cat peeking out.gif]
[Gu Huaijin: I’ll take you there this weekend.]
Seeing this, a sliver of lazy amusement flickered through Gu Zhiqi’s tired eyes.
[Qiqi: Thanks, big brother.]
[Gu Huaijin: Patting head.gif]
Just as she finished chatting with Gu Huaijin, the car stopped in front of the villa in the estate.
As soon as the car stopped, Gu Xiyue went into the house first, while Lu Xingzhe ran up to Gu Zhiqi, blocking her path, and quickly said, "I want to go to the training ground."
He spoke too quickly, Gu Zhiqi didn’t catch it, and looked at Lu Xingzhe with a questioning face, "You want to go where?"
"The training ground," Lu Xingzhe said coldly, slowing down this time.
"Then go," Gu Zhiqi replied nonchalantly.
Lu Xingzhe looked at Gu Zhiqi and said, "You come with me."
He spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Is this lad acting spoiled and arrogant because of favoritism?
Seeing Gu Zhiqi didn’t move, Lu Xingzhe continued, "You come with me, and I’ll transfer you the 4.95 million and add another fifty thousand."
"Let’s go," said Gu Zhiqi, as she took the lead and walked towards the training ground.
Seeing this, Lu Xingzhe clicked his tongue lightly.
This was more like someone with amnesia.
The amnesia before... he hardly believed she hadn’t gotten mixed up with something unclean.
As the two of them entered the training ground, someone came up to greet them enthusiastically.
"Miss Gu, you’re here?!"
"Young Master Lu, long time no see."
