As he spoke, the man handed the roses to Tian Xin.
Upon seeing this person, Tian Xin's eyes showed a hint of annoyance.
“Gu Jian, today is my grandfather’s birthday, not mine, so please don’t send me flowers.”
Tian Xin said righteously.
"Xin Xin, your birthday is next month, can't I give it to you in advance?"
Gu Jian continued with a smile.
Although this guy's actions infuriated He Qinzhou, he also reminded He Qinzhou that Tian Xin's birthday was next month.
Knowing Tian Xin's birthday in advance, I need to prepare a surprise for her.
"Please don't call me Xin Xin, okay?"
Tian Xin said impatiently.
"Xin Xin, didn't you always like to follow me around when you were little, and did you also like it when I called you Xin Xin?"
Gu Jian ignored Tian Xin's impatience and maintained his composure as he spoke.
He Qinzhou was even more furious upon hearing this.
At the same time, she was also a little jealous of Gu Jian, that bastard, who was actually Tian Xin's childhood sweetheart.
“Gu Jian, we were just kids when we were little. I used to call you that when we were kids, but now we're all grown up. Can we please stop calling you that like we used to? Your girlfriend will get jealous, and my boyfriend will be unhappy too.”
Tian Xin said with a frown.
“Xin Xin, you are my girlfriend. We’ve known each other for over twenty years. Since I confessed my feelings to you five years ago, we’ve seen each other less often, but I’ve never dated another girl. In my heart, you are the one I’ve chosen for my marriage.”
"Since it's Grandpa's 80th birthday today, I hope he can make the decision and agree to what we have to do, so that we can have double happiness."
"Ancient architecture," said Gu Jian.
"The flowers are beautiful, thank you."
Just then, He Qinzhou snatched the rose from Gu Jian's hand.
Chapter 547: Explosive Smash of Ancient Buildings
"who are you?"
Gu Jian had just seen He Qinzhou, but he ignored him.
"Me? Of course, I'm Xin'er's most beloved husband."
As He Qinzhou spoke, he placed a hand directly on Tian Xin's slender waist, seemingly to make Gu Jian give up. Tian Xin didn't say anything and let He Qinzhou hug her, which was considered as acquiescing to his words and actions.
Of course, this displeased the ancient buildings.
"I order you to release Xin Xin."
"An order? Are you kidding me?"
He Qinzhou not only didn't let go of Tian Xin, but instead hugged her even tighter.
This guy really thinks he's something special, daring to give orders like that.
“Ancient building, today is my grandfather’s birthday. I hope you won’t cause trouble here.”
Seeing that the two were about to have a conflict, Tian Xin hurriedly spoke up.
Having known Gu Jian for over twenty years, Tian Xin also knows his personality.
If she hadn't stopped her, this guy would probably have gotten into a fight with her husband today, and he might have ended up in the hospital.
Today is her grandfather's birthday, and she doesn't want these things to affect her mood.
"Fine, fine, very well, kid, let me tell you, Xin Xin is mine, so don't even dream about it."
"Ancient architecture," Gu Jian said fiercely.
With a "smack," He Qinzhou casually slapped the rose in his hand onto Gu Jian's face.
The thorns on the roses left bloody streaks on the ancient building's face.
Today is Tian Xin's grandfather's 80th birthday. He Qinzhou originally wanted to keep a low profile, but who knew that this guy would be so annoying, actually saying to his face that Tian Xin was his. If He Qinzhou didn't beat him up, who else would he beat up?
"You, you dare hit me? Do you know who I am?"
Gu Jian covered his face, questioning He Qinzhou in disbelief.
"You idiot, do you really have to make me angry and beat you up?"
As He Qinzhou spoke, he went straight up and slapped the rose in Gu Jian's face again and again.
"Honey, stop hitting me, stop hitting me."
Tian Xin quickly stopped He Qinzhou.
But it was too late. By the time He Qinzhou stopped, all that was left of the roses in his hand were the stems.
The ancient building's face was covered in bloodstains and swollen like a pig's face.
"You, you, He Qinzhou, you just wait."
After leaving those words, Gu Jian turned and left.
"Huh? Did I tell this idiot my name? Didn't he just ask me who I was?"
He Qinzhou was quite strange. He didn't remember introducing himself, and Tian Xin hadn't introduced herself either. They had only met this guy today.
In fact, He Qinzhou was unaware that Gu Jian had been investigating Tian Xin's whereabouts. He knew that a man had suddenly appeared by Tian Xin's side and had even taken her to Kyoto.
Originally, she wanted to thoroughly investigate He Qinzhou and then eliminate him without anyone noticing, making him disappear from Tian Xin's life.
Unfortunately, no matter how much research was conducted on the ancient buildings, no information about him could be found.
The Gu family of Yangcheng is actually quite powerful in Yangcheng, and they also have connections within the military.
Therefore, Gu Jian also understood that if a person's information was encrypted, their identity must be extraordinary.
Therefore, he dared not easily take action against He Qinzhou.
Actually, when he saw He Qinzhou just now, he automatically ignored him.
But now Gu Jian couldn't stand it anymore, and he vowed to take revenge on He Qinzhou.
He is a member of the prestigious Gu family, a respectable figure in Yangcheng. How could he be bullied by a mere brat like you? If word got out, wouldn't he become a laughingstock?
Therefore, the plan is not only to win Tian Xin back, but also to take severe revenge on He Qinzhou and let him know the consequences of offending the Gu family.
However, this is also related to the fact that He Qinzhou's information was encrypted. If Gu Jian knew that the person he wanted to take revenge on was the head of the He family, who had a certain influence in the entire Dragon Kingdom and even Blue Star, he would not dare to say anything harsh to He Qinzhou even if he had ten times the courage.
"You've really known this guy for over twenty years?"
He felt a little uncomfortable when he recalled Gu Jian saying that he and Tian Xin had known each other for more than 20 years, and couldn't help but ask.
"Correct."
Tian Xin did not deny it. "Grandpa Gu and my grandfather had a good relationship. When Gu Jian was a child, he often came to our house with Grandpa Gu. When he got a little older, probably around seven or eight years old, his family started to have his driver bring him over alone."
"If you think about it, I've known him for 21 or 22 years. Old Master Gu's health hasn't been very good lately. Gu Jian should have come alone today, otherwise, if you had hit him, things would have been even more complicated."
"Hehe, so what if we've known each other for a long time? He still hasn't won you over. You're still mine."
He Qinzhou tightened his grip on Tian Xin's slender waist and said even more smugly.
As for the trouble Tian Xin mentioned, He Qinzhou didn't care.
Whatever trouble it may cause, the He family will take it all on.
"Anyway, be careful lately. Gu Jian is a rather cunning person. I'm afraid he might stab you in the back."
"Are you concerned about me?"
"If I don't care about you, who else should I care about?"
Tian Xin gave He Qinzhou a charmingly disdainful look.
Suddenly, Tian Xin felt a groping hand touch her thigh.
"Oh ho ho~ That feels so good, honey. How about you wear stockings every day from now on?"
"You rascal, don't do anything reckless! We're still outside, or I'll really get angry!"
Tian Xin blushed instantly with embarrassment, removed He Qinzhou's hand from her leg, and said in a embarrassed and annoyed tone.
He Qinzhou touched the stockings again, feeling their smooth texture, before releasing Tian Xin.
After all, he felt that Tian Xin was right. They were still outside, and it was Tian Xin's grandfather's birthday, so it was better to be mindful of their image.
Although He Qinzhou didn't care about other people's opinions of him, he still didn't want to put Tian Xin in a difficult position.
Just as the two were about to enter the hotel, a little boy carrying a gift box approached them.
“Beautiful sister, an uncle asked me to come and give you this gift. He said it’s for your grandfather and wishes him a speedy ascension to heaven.”
Upon hearing this, Tian Xin trembled with anger.
What kind of bastard is so outrageous as to say such unlucky things on the old man's birthday?
"Little friend, tell me, who asked you to deliver this gift?"
Suppressing her anger, Tian Xin asked gently.
She knew that a child who was only a few years old could not possibly do such a thing.
He might not even understand what it means.
"It's an uncle."
"Alright, little one, go play now."
"Ok."
The little boy nodded, then skipped away.
Watching the little boy's retreating figure, Tian Xin fell into deep thought.
Chapter 548: A Familiar Yet Strange Phone Call
The other party sent a child to deliver the gift, and even said such unlucky things. Tian Xin didn't think the gift could be anything good.
Although it was meant for the old man, she still planned to open the gift first to see what was inside.
However, when Tian Xin saw the items inside, her pretty face immediately turned red with anger.
Inside is a clock. Who would give a clock as a birthday gift?
Isn't this supposed to mean seeing someone off in their final moments?
Just then, Tian Xin's phone rang. She took it out and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.
"Hey."
"Beautiful Tian, you're back in Yangcheng now, right? Are you satisfied with the gift I gave you?"
It was that voice again. The first time it called, it was to warn Tian Xin to be careful.
The second time was when Tian Xin's mother, Su Birou, was in a car accident, and this guy admitted that he was the one who did it.
And today, he actually gave the old man a clock as a gift on his birthday.
Tian Xin couldn't understand what she had done to offend this guy, that he would treat her like this.
The harm should not extend to her family. Even if you have offended her, you should take it out on her instead of involving her family.
What puzzled her most was how he knew her grandfather's birthday.
"Who are you anyway?"
Tian Xin asked in a deep voice.
"Who am I? Wait until I slowly kill off your family and your friends, then you'll know who I am when you go to hell."
"Oh, and I'll give you another big gift later, haha~"
After she finished speaking, the phone went dead. Tian Xin dialed back, but the number was not in service.
"That bastard, if I catch him, I'll break his bones."
He Qinzhou clenched his fists tightly; he had heard the entire conversation between Tian Xin and that man.
This guy has been causing trouble behind the scenes. If Su Birou hadn't had half-vampire blood, she might have died under the wheels of a car that day.
