Gao Wu: She who transforms into a broken body becomes stronger by adding points Chapter 089

The car drove out of the Jiang Family Manor and quickly entered the highway, speeding towards the capital.

Li Wei leaned back in her seat, the stuffiness that had been weighing on her heart seemed to dissipate with the movement of the car.

She leaned against the car window, feeling the slight bumps, and her mind involuntarily replayed the memory scenes from the Inverted Domain.

On the ninth floor… she had indeed fainted.

If Gu Jinzhi hadn’t gotten her out of that hellhole, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Maybe she would have really capsized in the gutter.

She couldn’t keep wearing a stinky face to her savior, right?

【As a person, you still have to be grateful.】

Li Wei silently reminded herself in her heart.

【Before returning to the Gu family, I have to break this ice.】

【There are still spies from the Zhang family in the Gu family…】

Little did she know that Liang Qiushi’s “plan” had already shattered into pieces, the kind that couldn’t be pieced back together.

As for the Zhang family… they were now plagued with troubles, how could they have time to pay attention to the love-hate entanglement between Gu Jinzhi and “Jiang Xue”?

…

Having made up her mind, Li Wei took a deep breath, sorted out her somewhat chaotic thoughts, and then turned her head, ready to speak.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned her head, she ran into Gu Jinzhi’s clear, cold, and deep eyes.

He seemed to be looking over at this time as well, his lips slightly parted, as if he was about to say something.

Their eyes met, and both of them were stunned, the words they had prepared getting stuck in their throats for a moment.

The atmosphere in the car was a little strange.

Li Wei: “…”

Gu Jinzhi: “…”

The air froze for a few breaths…

Finally, Gu Jinzhi took the lead in breaking the silence.

He tilted his head slightly, his voice carrying its unique magnetic texture: “Jiang… Jiang Xue, is your injury getting better?”

Li Wei was relieved that he spoke first, and went along with it: “The external injuries are fine, but my divine soul still needs some time to recover.”

Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered that Jiang Xinyue had mentioned that Gu Jinzhi and that Min Zimo would also enter the “Observing Heaven Mirror” together.

So, she asked back: “Gu Jinzhi… is there something wrong with your divine soul too?”

Gu Jinzhi shook his head gently: “No.”

Li Wei was a little puzzled: “Then why do you want to enter the ‘Observing Heaven Mirror’?”

Gu Jinzhi was silent for a few seconds, his gaze turned to the window, and he only replied vaguely: “There are some other things that need to be dealt with.”

Li Wei said “Oh”, and seeing that he didn’t seem willing to talk more, she didn’t continue to ask.

She turned her gaze back to the window, watching the trees and fields that were rapidly receding, her thoughts somewhat empty.

The car returned to silence for a while.

After a long while, so long that Li Wei thought Gu Jinzhi wouldn’t speak again, he suddenly said: “Min Zimo looked for me yesterday.”

Li Wei almost subconsciously replied: “What did he want from you?”

“He asked me to dinner to express his gratitude.” Gu Jinzhi’s tone didn’t reveal any emotion, “He also invited the two of us to enter the Observing Heaven Mirror together.”

Hearing this, Li Wei was first stunned, and then a feeling called “speechless” surged up: “Wait… I saved him, why would he ask you to dinner?”

If he wanted to thank someone, he should thank her, the person who actually saved him, what was the point of looking for Gu Jinzhi?

Was that guy’s brain circuit a little abnormal?

Gu Jinzhi looked at her cute little expression of dissatisfaction, a hint of a smile flashed across his usually cold eyes.

He seemed to have found some of the feeling from that day in the Inverted Domain, when the two of them sat side by side, talking freely.

His mood inevitably became lighter, and he even had a bit of a teasing thought.

So, he deliberately maintained that coldness and explained slowly: “You are my wife.”

He emphasized the word “wife” a little, and then continued.

“It’s not appropriate for a young man to ask you out.”

Seeing Li Wei’s slender jade fingers inadvertently brushing against the loop around her waist, he paused and added: “Besides, you just finished healing, didn’t you?”

Listening to him say the words “wife” so seriously, the veins on Li Wei’s forehead twitched uncontrollably.

Wife, my ass!

【Damn it, once I go to the Western Frontier, who will recognize you?】

She spat fiercely in her heart, but tried her best to maintain her composure on the surface, rolled her eyes, and said weakly:

“So? He just expressed his gratitude to you and extended an invitation? Didn’t he have any substantial expression?”

【It’s a life-saving grace, and he just invites you to dinner? This Min Zimo is too stingy!】

Gu Jinzhi looked at her greedy little appearance, the curve of his lips deepened unconsciously, and then he took out a card from his pants pocket and handed it to Li Wei.

It was a silver-gray card, cool to the touch, with a good texture.

Li Wei took it, looked at it carefully, flipping it over and over.

The card was very thin, and apart from some gray-black stripes of varying depths, seemingly arranged in a disordered manner, and a small string of dense codes in the lower right corner, there was nothing else on the surface.

There was neither the logo of the issuing institution nor any description of its function and value.

It looked like an ordinary magnetic card that was slightly better made.

Li Wei’s brows furrowed slightly, her tone carrying obvious dissatisfaction: “That’s it?”

This was too perfunctory!

Gu Jinzhi nodded lightly: “That’s it.”

He paused and continued: “Min Zimo asked me to give you a message.”

Li Wei blurted out almost subconsciously: “The Imperial Army… cough cough… what did he say?”

【That was close, I almost got the script wrong.】

Gu Jinzhi pursed his lips, seemingly deliberating on his words, and after a moment, he slowly said in his slightly low voice:

“He said that you saved his life. From now on, if there is any instruction, he will not dare to disobey.”

Li Wei never cared much for this kind of verbal promise, and after listening, she just waved her hand dismissively and curled her lips.

This attitude seemed to make Gu Jinzhi’s mood even more pleasant.

A faint warmth was dyed between his clear and cold eyebrows.

“And not dare to disobey… If he’s really so moved, he’ll just use this thing to fool me?”

Li Wei didn’t notice the subtle changes in Gu Jinzhi’s expression, she lowered her head and fiddled with the silver-gray card, muttering to herself in a low voice.

But as she muttered, she seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly raised her head, her eyes shooting straight at Gu Jinzhi beside her.

The moment she turned her head, the smile on Gu Jinzhi’s lips had quickly disappeared, and he had returned to his cold and indifferent appearance.

Li Wei’s bright almond eyes scanned his face back and forth, with undisguised suspicion.

She looked Gu Jinzhi up and down for a long time, making him feel a little uncomfortable.

Finally, Li Wei narrowed her eyes and suddenly said: “I say, you didn’t take all the benefits that the warlord… ah bah, you didn’t take all the benefits that Min Zimo gave me, did you?!”

Gu Jinzhi: “…”

He only felt that his forehead was starting to ache faintly again.
