Chapter 328 - Reunion Dinner (6) (2/2)

Gu Nianzhi snickered: this was her dream come true. Raising her brows at Zhang Feng, she shot back, “Oh, so you know that this is the Huo’s family business? May I ask… who are you exactly? What’s your family name?” This was the first time Gu Nianzhi had seen Zhang Feng, so she didn’t know her name or status within the Huo manor. Huo Shaoheng had introduced her to everyone in the Huo family, but had never mentioned her, so this woman certainly wasn’t a part of the family. Gu Nianzhi didn’t mince her words and her little jab indeed hit Zhang Feng’s sore spot.

Zhang Feng’s only regret in life was not being able to be with Grandfather Huo officially and take his family name. “Why do you care what my family name is? At any rate, my presence is more justifiable than yours.” Zhang Feng couldn’t help shooting an icy reply.

Gu Nianzhi didn’t know who this charming looking woman was. Gu Nianzhi had noticed that she was rather intimate with Grandfather Huo and carried a medical box, so Gu Nianzhi guessed she was probably a doctor and wisely stopped speaking.

Huo Shaoheng looked over and remained seated in the sofa.”Your last name is Zhang, first name Feng. You are a nurse for my family, so may I ask what you mean by being justifiable?”

“Mom… stop it now. What’s the point of even winning an argument with a little girl like that?” Zhang Baochen shuffled over to Zhang Feng’s side and gently nudged her shoe with his foot.

Gu Nianzhi looked at Zhang Baochen, then Zhang Wenna and Zhang Wenjie at the entrance, and finally Zhang Feng. She exhaled sharply when she realized what as going on. Previously, she heard Zhang Wenna and Zhang Wenjie call Huo Shaoheng, “Elder Cousin.” Zhang Baochen also called Grandfather Huo, “Dad” from time to time. Although Huo Shaoheng only asked Gu Nianzhi to call Zhang Baochen and Qian s.h.i.+hui Uncle and Auntie Zhang, she still had a clear idea of the relations.h.i.+p between the Zhang’s and Grandfather Huo. Now that Zhang Feng had appeared as Zhang Baochen’s mother, everything fell into place! So Zhang Feng the old nurse was Grandfather Huo’s mistress… and she dared call herself justifiable?! It was laughable.

“Yes, may I ask what you mean by saying that you are more ‘justifiable’ than I am?” Gu Nianzhi stood behind the sofa Huo Shaoheng was sitting in and baited her, “May I ask how old you are? How would you compare to me? I’m a respectable girl. I don’t dare compare with you about being justifiable.”

Clearly, she was insulting Zhang Feng as being not respectable. Zhang Feng’s facial muscles trembled from anger and her lips twitched. She used all her composure to stop herself from arguing any further with Gu Nianzhi. Zhang Baochen was right, what was the point of fighting with a little orphan girl like Gu Nianzhi?

“Head Nurse Zhang is over 60 years old now. Gu Nianzhi, how old are you? How can you speak to her in this tone?” Grandfather Huo was unhappy to see Zhang Feng so aggrieved and couldn’t help defending her.

Gu Nianzhi was taken aback and reluctantly said to Zhang Feng, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have been speaking to you like that. But, you’re fairly old now, so how can you still be a nurse? The retirement age for women in our nation is 60 years old.”

Before Gu Nianzhi even finished her sentence, Huo Shaoheng’s eyes flashed and there was a trace of a smile in his voice, “Yes, Nianzhi is right. Nurse Zhang is already 64 years old; she should be retiring at this age.” As he spoke, he turned to look at Zhao Liangze spectating nearby, “Remember to go to the military after the new year and have them a.s.sign a new head nurse to Grandfather. As for Head Nurse Zhang, it’s time you retired and went home to enjoy the rest of your days.”
