Chapter 1267: Chapter 1267 - Brainwashed

1267 Brainwashed

Back at the resort, everyone was eating in the cafeteria.At this time, the place was almost fully occupied by scientists and entourage from both countries.

When Vladimir arrived, he officially took over the security of the place, and was so busy that no one saw him.

Even the driver was engaged in intense work.

Only Lina and Peter were wandering around the cafeteria.

As the team leaders and deputy team leaders of Vladimir’s operation team, they were the backbone of the team.

Lina had been sent to protect Gu Nianzhi, and Peter had been acting in Vladimir’s place.

Now that the cafeteria was full of scientists from both countries, he had to ensure everyone’s safety.

Even after seeing that Huo Shaoheng, Song Jinning, and Gu Nianzhi had come over, Peter still couldn’t open his eyes. He nodded at them then took out a large cigar and went outside the cafeteria to smoke under the big tree.

Lina looked at Gu Nianzhi with a blank expression and said in standard Oxford English, “Where are you staying tonight?”

Gu Nianzhi: ” ... ”

At this moment, she didn’t really want to talk to Lina.

Gu Nianzhi had been embarrassed by Song Jinning’s teasing earlier.

She forced a smile at Lina and said, “You don’t have to follow me when we get to this place. I have my own place to stay tonight.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Unwilling to give up, Lina said seriously, “But Lieutenant General Vladimir asked me to stay close to you to protect you.” She continued to ask, “Where are you staying tonight?”

Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and said, “Are you being serious? Vladimir asked you to protect me, but he was talking about the time we were on the road. Now that we’ve reached our destination, we don’t need your protection anymore. Thank you.”

Gu Nianzhi walked into the restaurant.

It was a buffet.

There was a long table by the wall with food on it.

There were all kinds of bread, cheese, fish, smoked meat, and some seafood and fruits that weren’t commonly seen here.

Gu Nianzhi was famished. Upon seeing all these delicious food, she immediately threw her earlier emotional distress out of her mind and with her plate, she went to pick out food for herself.

Lina was stunned by Gu Nianzhi’s rebuke and immediately followed up. “Vladimir’s original words were, “From today onward, you will be responsible for her security. I want you to stay close to her and ensure her safety.’”

“I think you know what the phrase “from today onward” means, right?”

Gu Nianzhi raised her eyebrows, then calmly said, “the phrase “from today onward” is an empty reference, not an actual reference, because it doesn’t indicate when it will end. In public relations, every activity has its own starting and ending time, so that an enforceable contractual relationship can be formed.”

“Vladimir only said “from today” and did not say which day it would end. This means that he was just saying it verbally and wouldn’t form any contractual relationship. Similarly, there is no pressure on me or him.”

When Vladimir said in the car that she was going to protect Gu Nianzhi, it was unclear whether he was referring to the time on the road or until Gu Nianzhi had left Russia.

Unclear instructions couldn’t form a contractual relationship that was acceptable to both parties.

Lina’s poker face finally showed a trace of emotion.

She looked at Gu Nianzhi as if she had never met her before. After a while, she nodded. “Okay, I’ll go ask Vladimir.”

There was no doubt that Lina was a person who liked to take things seriously.

She separated the crowd and walked out of the cafeteria. She picked up her phone and called Vladimir.

At that moment, she heard a deep and mellow voice. She quickly hid behind the pillar in the corridor.

That mellow voice belonged to Huo Shaoheng.

Huo Shaoheng stood face to face with Song Jinning. There was a hint of nervousness hidden in his nonchalant expression.

Song Jinning looked at him with amusement. “What’s wrong? What can’t you say in front of Nianzhi?”

Huo Shaoheng slowly pulled out a cigar from his pocket and said indifferently, “... If it’s a son, he has to join the army. If it’s my daughter, I don’t care. She can do whatever she wants.”

Song Jinning was trying to refute what Song Jinning had just said to Gu Nianzhi.

He didn’t want his son to be running around with a walker in the high-energy physics lab starting from childhood.

Song Jinning didn’t expect Huo Shaoheng to care about this.

She asked in puzzlement, “What’s wrong with that? Why can’t he learn physics from me? I can be his teacher and teach him all the way until he gets a doctorate degree.”

Huo Shaoheng didn’t say anything anymore. He held a cigar in his hand and played with it as if he was threatening her, then said, “If you insist, I don’t think any of my grandchildren will show up.”

“You’re threatening me?!” Song Jinning was stunned for a moment, and her hair stood on end. “What do you mean? What do you mean no grandchildren will show up?!”

Huo Shaoheng held the cigar in his hand and placed it on his lips. He looked at Song Jinning quietly.

Song Jinning was so angry that she started laughing. “Don’t think too much. Whether or not you have children, when you have children, and how many children you have has nothing to do with you.”

Huo Shaoheng: ” ... ”

Was that something a scientist like she would say?

Huo Shaoheng couldn’t help but curse in his heart.

She was simply filled with the blind confidence of a pseudo-feminist and shamelessly boasting while ignoring the laws of science.

Huo Shaoheng’s cold expression pleased Song Jinning.

“Are you angry? You should be angry.” Song Jinning patted him on the shoulder. “I’ll go tell Nianzhi. She’s the deciding factor in when the child is born.”

“Haha, this is the first time I’ve heard that a woman can give birth by herself.” His hands behind his back as he stood up straight, Huo Shaoheng said expressionlessly.

“Of course a woman can give birth by herself. Can a man help a woman give birth?”

When it came to science, Song Jinning was as sharp and direct as if she became a different person.

Huo Shaoheng: ” ... ”

“I know what you’re trying to say is that there is no such thing as a man providing sperm. A woman alone can not produce a fertilized egg.” Song Jinning was only one step away from teaching Huo Shaoheng about reproductive science.

In front of his own mother, Huo Shaoheng couldn’t take it anymore.

He nodded stiffly. “Please take your time to think about it. I’m a man of my word.” Heading to the restaurant to look for Gu Nianzhi, he turned and left.

Gu Nianzhi had just sat down with a large plate of food and a glass of milk.

Huo Shaoheng sat across from her and glanced at the plate full of food. “Eat less. You’re too hungry. You need some porridge to warm your stomach first.”

Gu Nianzhi blinked her left eye. “I can eat them all. I’m starving.”

As she drank the milk, she asked curiously, “What were you whispering to Mrs. Song about?”

“Do you really want to hear it?”

“Yes, go ahead.” Gu Nianzhi put down the milk and was full of praise for the rich, natural aroma of the milk. “This milk tastes really good. Is it really organic?”

“I think so. ” Huo Shaoheng looked down and thought for a moment, then simply said, “Mrs. Song just said that she wants to take our child to the laboratory and cultivate her interest in science starting from young. Saying that our son will be sent to the military camp from a young age, I objected. Our daughter can have her own interests and hobbies.”

Gu Nianzhi did not expect Song Jinning to think so far ahead. The corners of her mouth twitched twice, and she said weakly, “I object as well.”

“Okay. ” Huo Shaoheng patted her head.

“Major General Huo, can we have a child a few years later?” Gu Nianzhi discussed with Huo Shaoheng in a low voice. “But I also feel that it’s better to have one first when we’re still young.”

Huo Shaoheng: ” ... ”

“I heard that it’s hard to recover when you’re old enough to have a child.” Gu Nianzhi said mysteriously, as if she was already pregnant...

Feeling his head ache, Huo Shaoheng rubbed his temples. “That’s enough. Eat, eat, eat. No one is forcing you to have a child.”

” ... But I think it’s better for the child to follow Ms. Song. With her personality and character, she’ll definitely take care of the child as her own.”

Gu Nianzhi was once again led astray by Song Jinning, and began to yearn for a happy time with her children.

Huo Shaoheng objected calmly, “We can’t give the child to Ms. Song. She doesn’t even eat herself when she’s busy.”

When Gu Nianzhi heard this, she immediately said, “Then let’s set up the nursery first.”

She covered her mouth with her hand and thought in horror and despair, what’s wrong with her? Was she possessed? !

Madam Song’s extraordinary ability to brainwash people was really terrifying!
