Old Master Qin didn't speak for a long time. After a while, he rubbed his temples and asked tentatively, "Actually, you're mother and daughter. You don't have to be at loggerheads because of someone else's lies, right? How about I help you contact Nianzhi and see if you two can reconcile? "
"Reconcile? Settle out of court? A murder case can be settled out of court? "Qin Yaoguang retorted in surprise. She didn't seem to know anything about the law.
Old Master Qin chuckled and said, "It's not an out-of-court settlement for the murder case, but a settlement between you and Nianzhi."
"You mean, as long as Gu Nianzhi forgives me, she won't insist on suing me for murder? Then can we withdraw the lawsuit? "Qin Yaoguang thought for a while and couldn't help but ask.
Since it was a family matter, it was better to settle it at home.
Old Master Qin shook his head and smiled bitterly. "… The murder case was filed by the prosecutor's office. It's not up to the He family or Nianzhi to withdraw the case."
Actually, there was something else that he didn't say.
If murder cases could be dismissed just like that, it would be like child's play, and the credibility of the law would not exist.
Qin Yaoguang frowned slightly, as if she wasn't very satisfied with this explanation. She muttered, "… She did it so ruthlessly … Then what's the point of reconciling with her?"
Old Master Qin glared at her and said, "You still have the face to say that? When Nianzhi first came back, I advised you not to be too ruthless. Nianzhi is just a little girl. If you don't treat her like a person, she won't treat you like her real mother. Feelings are born from relationships. She doesn't have to be filial to you just because you gave birth to her. But look at yourself, what have you done?! I had a bunch of good cards in my hand, but now I've lost them all! "
Qin Yaoguang's expression turned cold as she said, "If we don't reconcile, then we won't reconcile. Did she think that she could bully others just because she was from the He family? The US Congress won't let this slide, will they? "
"I'll make a phone call and ask the chief lawyer." As Old Master Qin spoke, he took out his phone and pressed the speakerphone button. He said to the lead lawyer on the other side, "What did the Americans say about this case? Would it put more pressure on this side? After all, our Yaoguang was framed. "
"Of course, of course." The chief lawyer on the other side of the phone hurriedly said with a smile, "This trial will be monitored by international human rights organizations, and it will be conducted publicly to the whole world."
Grandpa Qin's pupils constricted imperceptibly. "… An open trial in front of the whole world?!"
Qin Yaoguang was also in disbelief, but she was even happier. "No way? Does she want to lose face in front of the whole world? Do you know that she helped an outsider sue her own mother?! "
She did not do anything to Qin Suwen. Qin Suwen either died prematurely or was killed by Gu Xiangwen. What did it have to do with her?
She didn't believe that Gu Nianzhi could distort the truth in front of the whole world!
In order to clear her name, Gu Nianzhi could only do a paternity test in front of the whole world to verify her DNA!
That would be even more fun to watch …
A strange smile appeared on Qin Yaoguang's face.
She liked to see Gu Nianzhi hate her so much, but she couldn't help but admit that she was her biological mother.
The chief lawyer saw that Qin Yaoguang was extremely certain that the murder had nothing to do with her, and that Gu Nianzhi was purely venting her anger and using her official position to take revenge. Only then did he feel relieved. He held the phone and repeatedly reminded her, "Ms. Qin, remember, you must tell me everything related, no matter how big or small, so that we can be fully prepared. Otherwise, if we go to court and are questioned by the other party, we won't be able to explain ourselves reasonably. We'll be in a very passive position. "
"Don't worry about that. I won't deny what I've done. But don't even think about pinning the blame on me for something I haven't done! "Qin Yaoguang said resolutely, not backing down at all.
The chief lawyer breathed a sigh of relief and asked a few more questions before putting down the phone. He ordered his driver to drive back to the law firm quickly. He had to organize the materials he had gathered.
..
A month later, the trial was about to begin.
Gu Nianzhi finished preparing for the last trial and stretched in her study. She planned to have a good rest today and rest well before going to court tomorrow.
She looked at the white sky outside the window and rubbed her face. She wanted to take a bath and then go to sleep.
For the past month, she had worked until dawn almost every day, then slept for three hours in the morning before continuing to work.
She had lost so much weight.
Her face was even smaller, and her chin was sharp. She almost had an oval face, which made her bright eyes look even bigger. They were like lacquer, and there was a hint of light in the darkness.
When she looked at people, she was unusually focused, giving people the illusion that she was the only one.
Lu Yuan knocked on the door of her study, pushed the door open, and said, "Breakfast is ready. Hurry up and eat before going to bed."
These days, he and Lu Jin also felt sorry for Gu Nianzhi, but they couldn't convince her. They could only try their best to make some nutritious food and force her to eat it to nourish her body.
Gu Nianzhi stood up with a smile and said cheerfully, "CEO Lu, what delicious food are you cooking today?!"
She gave him a thumbs up. "I'm really impressed. The delicious food is different in a month! With your skills and thoughts, you really should open a restaurant. You'll definitely be famous all over the world and make a lot of money! "
"Little bootlicker!" Lu Yuan smiled and pointed at her. "Don't argue with me. Hurry up and go eat. Today, there's fried dumplings with crab filling, purple potato porridge, and milk, oatmeal, and dragon fruit soup. They're all your favorites."
Gu Nianzhi cheered and ran to the restaurant.
Just as she reached the entrance of the restaurant, she suddenly stopped and stared at a figure sitting in the restaurant with wide eyes.
He was sitting with his back to the window. The morning light shone from behind him, and his flawless silhouette was the best dream of the morning.
Gu Nianzhi rubbed her eyes. She thought she was so tired that she was hallucinating.
However, he looked up at her from the halo and smiled at her quietly. That indescribable handsomeness pierced Gu Nianzhi's heart like an arrow, releasing the longing and desire that had been locked up in the depths of her heart for the past few days.
Gu Nianzhi felt as if her entire body had been emptied, but it was instantly filled up again. Her heart contracted violently. She felt the pain in her chest, but it wasn't uncomfortable. It was as if she wanted to use this pain to prove that this wasn't a dream and was real.
Gu Nianzhi shouted, "Major General Huo! You're back! "
She pounced on him without hesitation.
Huo Shaoheng only had time to stand up and hug her.
He lowered his head and kissed her lips. "… Yes, I'm back. I missed you very much. "
Huo Shaoheng, who had been away for a month, had finally returned from the Soviet Union.
She rubbed her head in his arms and mumbled, "I missed you too … Why did you come back so late …"
The last word "ah" was soft and hoarse. It was as if there was a lingering sound that could linger for three days and be soul-stirring.
Huo Shaoheng hugged her even tighter and patted her back. "Eat first, then go to sleep. Seeing that you've lost so much weight, it won't be too late to act coquettishly after you've eaten and slept enough."
"It's good that you've lost weight." Gu Nianzhi said with a smile. "How am I acting coquettishly? I'm revealing my true feelings, and I'm about to cry tears of joy. "
"Then you have to stay away from me. Don't rub your tears on me. I just changed my clothes. " Huo Shaoheng patted her head. "Come and eat. I made the fried dumplings. I brought back king crab meat from the Soviet Union."

PS: I was writing in the morning when the internet was disconnected again. I don't know what went wrong, so I had to use my phone to post on the internet. The phone signal wasn't good either. It looked like I really had to switch to a mobile network.
That's all I wrote for today. I'll try to update more tomorrow.
