Luo Jialan looked at Gu Nianzhi in amusement. "You're so funny. I have a membership card. I applied for it myself. What does it have to do with the Huo family?"
As she spoke, she looked at Cai Shengnan, "Miss Cai, do you understand what I'm saying now? Some people just can't bear to let go. They want to join the Huo family no matter what. "
Gu Nianzhi curled her lips. "Miss Luo, you applied for it openly? As far as I know, if you didn't get the membership through connections, but applied for it yourself, then you must own a house here. Do you have a villa in the West Mountain? "
"That goes without saying." Luo Jialan looked like a virtuous lady and looked Gu Nianzhi up and down. "Miss Gu, you have to thank Shaoheng for your status and enjoyment today. If not for our Shaoheng … "
"Shut up! You have a villa in the West Hills. Isn't it the Huo family's money? You already have nothing to do with the Huo family, yet you still have the cheek to take their money to buy yourself a house?! "
Gu Nianzhi was finally forced to break down by Luo Jialan's "our Shaoheng". Her face darkened. "How can you say the name Shaoheng? What 'our Shaoheng' are you talking about? Wake up. You're no longer related to the Huo family. You're not Uncle Huo's adopted daughter, nor are you a relative of the Huo family. If you keep talking about Huo Shao like that, I won't be polite anymore. "
Luo Jialan was even happier when she saw Gu Nianzhi's change in expression. She laughed hysterically, "Shaoheng and I grew up under the same roof, and we've been on good terms since we were young. I advise you to keep a low profile. Don't think that just because you're engaged, everything will be fine and you can climb up the tree branch to become a phoenix. "
Luo Jialan humiliated Gu Nianzhi like this, so Gu Nianzhi didn't want to give her any more face.
After all, face could only be given to those who were willing to accept it. For those who were shameless, even if you gave them face, they would still think that you were a busybody.
Gu Nianzhi crossed her arms and coughed lightly. She deliberately put on a pitiful expression and said lightly, "Miss Luo, delusions are an illness. They have to be treated."
"Are you saying I'm sick? Why can't you face reality? Is it hard to admit that you're unwilling to let go because of the Huo family's power? " Luo Jialan had been aggrieved for a long time. Today, she could finally slap Gu Nianzhi in the face. It felt so good. She didn't want to give up this opportunity.
Gu Nianzhi cocked her head and smiled. "If you're sick, go see a doctor. There's no use telling me. Besides, what's wrong with growing up under the same roof as Huo Shao? You are cousins, isn't it normal for you to grow up under the same roof? If this can be used as evidence of your delusions, I think you should really see a psychiatrist. Your mentality is not only twisted, but also abnormal. "
"You said I'm a pervert?!" Luo Jialan's elation didn't last long. Like a balloon, it was punctured by Gu Nianzhi. She was so angry that her face turned purple. "You're just jealous of my good relationship with Shaoheng!"
"Tsk tsk …" Gu Nianzhi shook her head. "I wanted to save you some face, but it looks like I was overthinking it. You don't even care about your face, so why should I save you face?"
Luo Jialan was a little flustered. She said fiercely, "Don't try to continue humiliating me. There are surveillance cameras here!"
"I won't humiliate you. I'll tell you the truth." Gu Nianzhi spread her hands. "You said that you're not related to Huo Shao by blood, but before you knew that you and Huo Shao weren't biological cousins, you had been coveting him for a long time. You have such dirty thoughts, and you still say that you're not a pervert? "
"I'm not! And I already knew that I'm not related to him by blood! "Luo Jialan growled." Don't try to put your dirty thoughts on me! "
"Oh? You already knew? Then you have even more unfathomable intentions. You know that you have nothing to do with the Huo family, but you're the only daughter of the Huo family's eldest son. You're the Huo family's housekeeper, and you even mistreated the Huo family's real mistress, Ms. Song. I think you're not only mentally twisted and perverted, but also morally corrupt and vicious. "
Gu Nianzhi's face darkened. "Also, you know that you're not Uncle Huo's biological daughter, but you still seized his trust fund and lived a luxurious life with other people's money. Look at you, you're nothing without the Huo family, and you still have the face to say that I'm just trying to get into the Huo family. I think every word you say is from the bottom of your heart. You can completely empathize with me! "
Luo Jialan took two steps back, flustered by Gu Nianzhi's words. "You … You … Don't talk nonsense! Although I'm not my father's biological daughter, my mother and my father are truly husband and wife. I'm my father's legal daughter, and I'll inherit all of his inheritance. Miss Gu, you're a lawyer. You know better than I do, right? "
"Will you inherit all of it?" Gu Nianzhi curled her lips and said slyly, "I won't entertain you with this question. As a lawyer, you have to pay to talk to me. Even if you want to be slapped in the face by me, you have to line up and pay according to the rules. "With that, she closed the door of the private room.
Luo Jialan stared at the closed door in front of them with her mouth agape. She pointed at the door and said, "… She gave up just because she couldn't win against me? So that's all there is to Gu Nianzhi. I thought she was amazing, but she actually closed the door because she couldn't win against us. "
Cai Shengnan had been standing by the side without saying a word. At this moment, her heart skipped a beat. She raised her eyebrows and looked Luo Jialan up and down. "… You've liked Major General Huo since you were young? Isn't he your cousin? "
"I don't like Shaoheng. Besides, he's not my biological cousin. "Luo Jialan was getting impatient." How many times have I told you? I'm not related to him by blood, and I've also changed my surname and moved out of the Huo family's household registration. "
"You knew that Major General Huo wasn't your cousin from the beginning?" Cai Shengnan frowned. "Gu Nianzhi just said that you wanted to 'fake marry' Major General Huo. What's going on?"
Luo Jialan said nonchalantly, "It wasn't me who suggested it. It was my grandfather, grandfather Huo. He didn't want Gu Nianzhi to marry into the Huo family, so he suggested that Shaoheng and I get a marriage certificate and stop Gu Nianzhi from marrying into the family. I was kind enough to persuade Gu Nianzhi to accept this condition. Anyway, I'm not really getting married. I'm just acting as a cover for her. It doesn't matter if Shaoheng continues to be with Gu Nianzhi. I just want the old man to be happy in his old age. "
"I see … then your sacrifice is quite big …" Cai Shengnan said sarcastically.
How could she think of getting a "fake marriage" with Huo Shaoheng?!
Luo Jialan smiled, as if she didn't hear the sarcasm in Cai Shengnan's words. She said lightly, "That's the truth. If you don't believe me, you can ask grandfather Huo yourself."
She was sure that Cai Shengnan wouldn't be able to come into contact with grandfather Huo, and even if Cai Shengnan asked, grandfather Huo, who had always been very chauvinistic, would definitely take responsibility for this matter and wouldn't say that Luo Jialan had suggested it.
"Was it really grandfather Huo who suggested it? Then this old man is quite imaginative. " Cai Shengnan smiled and turned back to the window with Luo Jialan. She said, "Since I'm going to be your lawyer, let's sign the contract first. I'll make it clear in advance that my fee is very expensive. It's 1,000 US dollars per hour and a million US dollars in advance. If you agree, I'll have my secretary send you the contract right away. "
"Sure, send it to me and I'll sign it right away," Luo Jialan said readily.
"I don't have the contract with me. My secretary will contact you to sign it and then tell you what to do next. "Cai Shengnan smiled as she sent an email to her secretary, stating the amount of the advance payment.
Considering that she was going to fight Gu Nianzhi head-on this time, Cai Shengnan suggested that the advance payment be increased to one million US dollars, with any overpayment to be refunded.
She raised the price because she was worried that Luo Jialan's money would be recovered by the Huo family..
So she had to get her hands on the money first.
The two of them discussed the details and started lunch.
At that moment, He Zhichu returned to his private room.
As soon as he entered, he said to Gu Nianzhi, who was playing with her phone, "Nianzhi, the situation in Japan has changed."
"What's wrong?" Gu Nianzhi looked up in surprise. "Isn't today the day the final verdict will be announced?"
"Yes, but Smith just called me in Japan and said that the presiding judge suddenly died this morning. The case has been transferred to another judge and the verdict will be postponed."
