Gu Nianzhi looked up to see He Zhichu. She quickly put away her phone and smiled. "That's what I wanted to ask you. It's so early, and you're not home?"
She looked up at the morning glow in the sky, then raised her hand to show He Zhichu her watch. "Look, what time is it now? You worked overtime again yesterday? "
Gu Nianzhi looked carefully at He Zhichu's face. He didn't try to hide his exhaustion, and there were dark circles under his eyes.
It was obvious that he lacked sleep.
He Zhichu shook his head nonchalantly. "It's fine. I'm used to it. Come in. Have you had breakfast? "
Gu Nianzhi shrank back guiltily. "… Not yet."
When she woke up in the morning, Lu Yuan and Lu Jin hadn't gotten up yet. She had sneaked out.
"Then let's eat together." He Zhichu's expression didn't change, but his steps were much steadier.
Gu Nianzhi clicked her tongue in her heart, and a meaningful smile hung on her lips.
The two of them arrived at the He family's dining room. He Zhichu casually asked the orderlies in the kitchen to prepare breakfast and ordered all of Gu Nianzhi's favorite foods.
Gu Nianzhi smiled and sat down opposite him. After He Zhichu drank a cup of coffee, she asked softly, "… Young Master He, have you been very busy recently?"
He Zhichu glanced at her and casually placed the coffee cup on the table. "A little, but I can handle it. What's wrong?"
"… Well, I just wanted to ask, when can I get a DNA sample from Lawyer Qin Suwen? I … I … I want to test the DNA." Gu Nianzhi's face was a little red as she stammered.
It was really rude to chase after someone's house to ask for a DNA sample from the other party's mother.
However, she really couldn't help it. He Zhichu didn't reply to her text, and the previous phone call had also ended after a few words. Gu Nianzhi didn't dare to say too much in front of Lu Yuan, afraid that she would give herself away, so she had no choice but to see him in person.
In order to see her, she had even woken up early in the morning to wait for him at the gate.
Unexpectedly, He Zhichu really wasn't home.
Previously, she had thought that the guards at the door were just brushing her off.
He Zhichu lowered his eyes and reached out to pick up some food with his chopsticks. He placed it on the small white porcelain plate in front of Gu Nianzhi and said dryly, "Are you that eager?"
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
Anyone would be impatient, right?
This was related to her birth mother!
Gu Nianzhi glared angrily at He Zhichu.
How could he not know how anxious she was?
Her eyes reddened as she thought of this.
He Zhichu's gaze swept over her face and froze. An unknown emotion welled up in his heart.
He had completely lost his appetite. He put down his chopsticks and symbolically wiped his mouth with a napkin. "This matter is a bit more difficult because my mother's things were all put away by my father and placed together with my mother's body."
"That place is heavily guarded. It won't be easy for me to get in. Don't worry, give me some time, I'll find a chance to get you out. "
Gu Nianzhi was taken aback. "… Your mother's body? What does that mean? She wasn't buried? "
He Zhichu looked down and said mockingly, "Yes, no. It's still preserved in liquid nitrogen. Isn't that ironic? "
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant." Gu Nianzhi quickly shook her head, her heart pounding.
Did this mean that she could … have a chance to see Qin Suwen's body with her own eyes?!
After all, this was the person who was most likely to be her biological mother..
He Zhichu sat upright in his seat and looked over calmly. He didn't miss the flash of starlight in Gu Nianzhi's eyes.
He could tell that she was very excited and the corners of his mouth twitched self-deprecatingly. "Don't look at me like that. Outsiders can't see the body preserved in liquid nitrogen at all."
Gu Nianzhi smiled embarrassedly and said, "I was just thinking about it. Don't think too much, Young Master He."
"I'm not thinking too much." He Zhichu pointed at the bowl of porridge in front of Gu Nianzhi. "Eat this sea cucumber porridge. You haven't had a good rest these past few days, have you? You've lost weight. "
Gu Nianzhi rubbed her face and said narcissistically, "It's a good thing to be thin. I used to think that my face was a little too chubby."
The baby fat on her face had completely faded away, and the young girl's bright and beautiful appearance had already matured. She was like a flower that was just about to bloom, as if she was about to bloom in the next moment. The beautiful scenery was right in front of him, but he was not the person who could unscrupulously admire it from the side.
He Zhichu felt a little embarrassed and didn't want to continue this topic. He picked up the remote control and turned on the TV in the dining room.
The TV was on the news channel.
As soon as he saw the morning news, He Zhichu's heart skipped a beat. He had forgotten about the grudge between Gu Nianzhi and Qin Yaoguang.
He had been hounded by Gu Nianzhi for a DNA sample from Qin Suwen for the past few days. He had really forgotten about her previous lawsuit.
Gu Nianzhi heard a few words of the news and turned around in surprise. "What are they doing? A trade war? For one person?! Qin Yaoguang is so important?! "
"Yeah, the United States is dreaming. They really think we're scared." He Zhichu didn't think much of it, and his eyes were slightly cold.
"But Qin Yaoguang is a fake. The United States is so interested in her, so let's send her over. "Gu Nianzhi shrugged and sneered." It's impossible to reason with that crazy president of the United States. He only understands one principle, and that is to ask for a sky-high price and pay for it on the spot. It's really the true colors of businessmen. They're so greedy for money. "
"No matter how fake Qin Yaoguang is, she still knows about you," He Zhichu said lightly. "If you let her out, do you still want to be alone? Or do you want to take the lead and say, 'If I don't go to hell, who will?' "
Gu Nianzhi came back to her senses and knew that she had come up with a bad idea. She pursed her lips in embarrassment and turned back to look at the news. She said randomly, "But the United States' accusations are quite infuriating. What do they mean by 'corruption of justice'? What does it have to do with them whether our case is heard in public or not? Their courts are not allowed to be opened to the public. Even now, they can't broadcast or take photos of the situation in their courts. They can only use a portrait artist to draw the situation in the courts. "
"Besides, not all cases can be heard in public? For example, cases related to minors, cases related to sexual assault and rape, cases related to national security, and cases related to military courts. According to the law, these cases can't be heard in public. It's the same abroad. What right do they have to criticize us? "
"If you say that, people will say that you're competing to be the worst and whitewash your country's mistakes," He Zhichu said leisurely, his mood gradually improving.
Seeing that Gu Nianzhi wasn't bothered by Qin Suwen's DNA, He Zhichu felt that he could still talk to her nicely.
"How is this competing to be the worst? This is because someone deliberately dragged the situation abroad into this? " Gu Nianzhi's clear eyes suddenly lit up. "If we're talking about the matter as it stands and not mentioning other countries, then it's good. Who would have the time to explain it to him? It was clearly because she was ignorant that she became angry out of humiliation after being exposed. She forgot that they were the ones who started competing to be the worst first. In the end, they realized that foreign countries were even worse. How could they not be hysterical after being slapped in the face? Tsk, I can beat up this kind of person online by myself, and I won't even have to breathe. "
He Zhichu was amused by Gu Nianzhi's smug look. He put his hand to his lips and chuckled. He said in a low voice, "Okay then, what do you think we should do about this?"
Gu Nianzhi's fingers tapped lightly on the dining table. She muttered to herself, "… Their main goal is to say that we convicted Qin Yaoguang without a trial, so they're not convinced. Then why don't we have a public trial? "
"No." He Zhichu objected flatly. "First of all, the infrasonic weapon case can't be made public. Second of all, your case can't be made public either. This involves your DNA test with Qin Yaoguang. Are you willing to make your DNA public?"
Of course not.
Gu Nianzhi rested her chin on her hand and lay on the dining table. She was completely listless. "Then what should we do? Do we have to bite the bullet? "
"There's no other way. Of course we have to fight it head-on."
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips disapprovingly and pondered in her heart. Her gaze fell on the photo hanging on the wall of the dining room.
This was a family photo of the He family. Of course, it was taken when Qin Suwen was still alive.
Qin Suwen's appearance in the photo was very ordinary. She looked like she couldn't be found in a crowd.
Thinking back to the photo of Qin Suwen when she was young, Gu Nianzhi's anger rose.
Did they think that she wouldn't be able to expose the past without a DNA test?!
Gu Nianzhi suddenly sat up straight and asked, "Young Master He, where's your father?"
"He's sick and is recuperating in the hospital. He's going to have surgery today."
"What surgery?"
"It's a cerebrovascular surgery. He can't be stimulated."
Gu Nianzhi let out an "Ah" and was very surprised. "What's wrong with General He? He's not in good health … "
"My father's health hasn't been good ever since my mother passed away. It's just that he's more stubborn and afraid of treatment, so it's been delayed. He can't delay it anymore. He had an argument with me a few days ago and fainted. He hasn't woken up yet. "
"The doctor said that if he doesn't have the surgery soon, he might be paralyzed and might not even wake up."
He Zhichu didn't say the reason, but Gu Nianzhi could vaguely guess it. She said guiltily, "… Is it because of my request? Young Master He, your father doesn't agree, does he? "
She didn't need He Zhichu to say it out loud. She had already guessed most of it.
Such an intelligent girl, in this world, in his heart. They were all unique and irreplaceable..
He Zhichu's heart suddenly contracted uncontrollably, then suddenly expanded. Blood flowed through his veins twice as fast as usual, but on the surface, his expression didn't change at all. Even his voice was normal.
"It's not like that. Don't think too much." He Zhichu shook his head. "Don't worry about this. With the big shots supporting us, the sky won't fall."
Gu Nianzhi wasn't the kind of person who would pretend not to know and stand by if you told her to.
She also had some doubts about He Chengjian's condition. She didn't want her father to be in danger after He Zhichu lost his mother.
If that was the case, it would be her fault.
Gu Nianzhi didn't want to bear the burden of a life.
She gritted her teeth and whispered, "Young Master He, who will you find to operate on your father?"
