"King crab from the deep sea of the Soviet Union?" Gu Nianzhi's eyes lit up. "Then I have to try it!"
Furthermore, it was king crab meat that had been peeled and made into dumpling fillings. It was simply Gu Nianzhi's favorite!
She liked to eat crabs, but she didn't like to remove the shell.
Sitting next to Huo Shaoheng, she happily ate breakfast.
The fried dumplings were very small, so Gu Nianzhi finished half the plate in an instant.
She ate another half a bowl of purple potato porridge and scooped up a few spoonfuls of milk, oatmeal, and dragon fruit soup. It was moist and smooth, and the texture was very comfortable.
Half of the food on the table was gone, and Gu Nianzhi was about to rest for a while when her phone rang.
Gu Nianzhi picked it up and looked at it. It was an unknown number.
She lowered her eyes and thought for a while, but still picked up the call.
She didn't speak, and neither did the person on the other side.
Just when Gu Nianzhi thought someone had called the wrong number, the person on the other end finally said, "Excuse me, is this lawyer Gu Nianzhi's number?"
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
"That's me. May I know who you are? What's the matter? "Gu Nianzhi changed to a more comfortable position and leaned back on the chair.
"Oh, that's great. I'm the secretary of your grandfather, Mr. Qin. Old Mr. Qin wants to see you. May I know when you will be free? "The person on the other side was very polite, but the words he asked were really indescribable.
Gu Nianzhi smiled faintly. "I'll be very busy these days. I'll probably only be free after the case is over."
The other party obviously hadn't expected such an answer from Gu Nianzhi. After a moment of awkwardness, he mumbled, "… I wonder if you're free today? If he's free, our chairman can come to your home to see you. "
They knew that Gu Nianzhi would never go to the Qin residence, and they didn't want to go to other public places either. Therefore, they proposed to go to Gu Nianzhi's house and hand the home court to her. She should agree, right?
Gu Nianzhi still refused. "I don't think that's a good idea. I think you know that I'm fighting a lawsuit against your chairman's biological daughter, Qin Yaoguang. Moreover, I'm going to be the prosecution's lawyer tomorrow and face your Qin family's legal team in court. If I meet you today and something happens tomorrow, I won't be able to appear in court. That would be a huge loss for me. "
The other side of the phone was actually in a recording state.
Gu Nianzhi's answers were flawless, and they couldn't find any loopholes.
Old Master Qin sat on the sofa with his eyes closed, his fingers lightly tapping on the armrest of the sofa.
In the study, soft music flowed out. It was Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 5 in E minor.
Old Master Qin had a headset in one ear, so he could hear Gu Nianzhi talking to his secretary.
The secretary held the phone and looked at Old Master Qin for help.
Old Master Qin didn't open his eyes. He just opened his palm in the secretary's direction.
The secretary understood what he meant. She hurriedly held the phone with both hands and placed it in Old Master Qin's palm.
Old Master Qin took the phone and took out the earphones from one ear. He held the phone with the other hand and chuckled. He said kindly, "Nianzhi, it's me. Why are you so angry? Your mother does have a bad temper, and she was very strict with you when you were young. I've already told her. She deserves to go to jail! "
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
Feeling a little annoyed, Gu Nianzhi switched to holding the phone with her other hand and said aloofly, "Your daughter's problem isn't a problem with her temper, but a problem with her crime. She won't go to jail just because she has a bad temper. "
Old Master Qin laughed. "Nianzhi, you're really the smartest one in the Qin family. It's a pity that your mother personally pushed you out."
Gu Nianzhi also laughed. "Old Master Qin, my surname is Gu, not Qin."
She wasn't a member of the Qin family.
Old Master Qin's eyes flashed, and he finally got to the point. "… Nianzhi, I'm very sorry about your father. I also think that Qin Suwen's death might have nothing to do with him, but he absconded to escape punishment and died in a car accident. This matter has become a mess."
Gu Nianzhi's smile disappeared, and she said aloofly, "Please forgive me for not being able to discuss matters related to the case with you. Is there anything else? If not, I'll hang up first. "
She didn't wait for Old Master Qin to speak and hung up the phone. She also blocked the number.
Huo Shaoheng sat silently next to her. After she hung up the phone, he said, "Was it Qin Baoye?"
Gu Nianzhi nodded. "This old man still wants to fool me. He keeps saying that Qin Yaoguang is my mother … Doesn't he know if Qin Yaoguang is my mother or not?"
"He's so sure that you won't dare to do a paternity test in public." Huo Shaoheng played with a round golden coin in his hand. Under the bright morning light, his solemn face had a kind of beauty that was different from the secular world. "Because you don't dare let other agencies get your DNA data."
Gu Nianzhi sneered. "Even if I don't do a paternity test, I can still skin Qin Yaoguang!"
..
Not long after Old Master Qin hung up, Gu Nianzhi's phone rang again.
She was a little impatient and wanted to turn off her phone, but from the corner of her eye, she glanced at the number that appeared on her phone. It was actually the He family's number.
Gu Nianzhi's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help swiping to answer the call.
The voice on the other end was one she was familiar with. It was one of He Chengjian's personal secretaries, Old Zhou.
"Miss Gu? I'm Old Zhou. Is it convenient for you to answer the phone? "Old Zhou asked with a smile.
When Gu Nianzhi was in the He family, Old Zhou had been especially good to her. Although she avoided He Chengjian, she still had some feelings for Old Zhou.
"Old Zhou? It's convenient for me. You're up to work so early? "Gu Nianzhi's voice relaxed.
Huo Shaoheng, Lu Yuan, and Lu Jin looked at each other but didn't say anything.
Gu Nianzhi was the only one speaking in the dining room.
She heard Old Zhou say, "Nianzhi, it's like this. Our chief just got out of the hospital today. He wants to see you … "
The "chief" that Old Zhou was talking about was definitely He Chengjian, not He Zhichu.
Gu Nianzhi hesitated for a moment and said, "… Does Young Master He know about this?"
Old Zhou glanced at the tall figure standing opposite him with his arms crossed and looking out the window. He smiled and said, "Young Master He knows. He's standing right across from me."
Old Zhou paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Actually, I asked Young Master He first if I could call you."
"Young Master He said that as long as you agree, he won't object."
Gu Nianzhi's heart warmed slightly. She remembered that this case was related to Qin Suwen, so it would be strange if He Chengjian didn't ask about it.
She was about to say yes when Old Zhou said anxiously, "If you don't want to come over, the chief said that he can go over to see you."
"No, no, no! Let me come over! How can I trouble the chief! "Gu Nianzhi quickly objected. Sweat seeped out of her forehead.
Compared to Old Master Qin, she didn't dare to let He Chengjian come to her house!
Seeing that she had agreed, Old Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, then I'll ask Young Master He to pick you up?"
"Okay, okay." Gu Nianzhi quickly stood up. "I just finished breakfast. I'll go pack up and then I can leave."
"Okay, Young Master He will be here soon," Old Zhou said and made an "OK" gesture to He Zhichu.
He Zhichu was a little surprised. "… She agreed?"
"Yes, she agreed. Miss Gu is actually very easy to talk to. I don't understand why you always think she's unreasonable, "Old Zhou said with a smile.
He Zhichu's expression remained the same. He smiled slightly, and his sparkling almond-shaped eyes sparkled. "She's been very obedient since she was young."
Old Zhou picked up his briefcase. "I'll go to the chief's room and report my work first. When Miss Gu comes later, Young Master He, you can bring her directly to the suite where the chief is recuperating."
He Zhichu nodded. "Old Zhou, you've worked hard."
"It's not hard, not hard at all," Old Zhou said, but he yawned.
He Zhichu pretended not to see it and went out with his car keys.
It was still very early, not even seven o 'clock.
There weren't many cars on the streets of the imperial capital.
He Zhichu only took ten minutes to drive to the apartment complex where Gu Nianzhi lived. He waited quietly by the street.
Fifteen minutes later, Gu Nianzhi walked out of the apartment complex with a small bag.
She looked up and saw He Zhichu's car. She ran over with a smile and bent down. "Young Master He, you're up so early too?"
He Zhichu glanced at Gu Nianzhi and saw that she seemed to have put on makeup. She had a light layer of foundation on her face to cover up the dark circles under her eyes.
He Zhichu paused. "… How many nights have you stayed up?"
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
Grinning, he touched his face. "Is it that obvious?"
"Didn't you look in the mirror?" He Zhichu pulled down the mirror in the car and looked at her. "Look for yourself."
Gu Nianzhi had indeed not looked in the mirror for a few days.
However, she took a closer look at herself today and touched her face happily. "I've lost weight. I look good on camera."
He Zhichu: "…"
He was angry and amused at the same time. He flicked his finger on Gu Nianzhi's forehead. "What are you talking about? You only want to look good on camera? "
"Of course." Gu Nianzhi deliberately said angrily, "Don't you know?
Pounds?! "(The camera makes you look like you've put on ten pounds.)
He Zhichu looked at her deeply and said in a low voice, "I know you don't want us to worry."
Gu Nianzhi brushed her hair awkwardly and fastened her seatbelt. She said playfully, "Actually, I just want you to worry, but I don't want you to say it out loud, so I can only hold it in … Hahahaha … Am I very bad?"
He Zhichu laughed it off, stepped on the gas pedal, and drove away.
He took Gu Nianzhi back to the He residence. As soon as they got out of the car, his phone rang.
He took it out to look and saw that it was Xie Qingying, so he didn't pick it up.
Gu Nianzhi asked curiously, "Who's calling? It's so early. "
He Zhichu didn't hide it from her. "It's your cousin Xie."
Gu Nianzhi replied with an "oh" and didn't ask further.
The two of them came out of the garage and walked along the cobblestone path to the mansion.
Xie Qingying carried her suitcase and stood at the entrance of the He residence. She watched He Zhichu and Gu Nianzhi walk over from the parking lot.
She had gone abroad a month ago to calm herself down.
When she finally came back after thinking it through, the first thing she saw was Gu Nianzhi and He Zhichu together.
Xie Qingying was trembling with anger when He Zhichu didn't pick up her call just now.
He Zhichu happened to look up and see Xie Qingying standing beside the carved iron door with her suitcase beside her.
He Zhichu stopped in his tracks, and Gu Nianzhi followed his gaze.
"… It's Cousin Xie." Gu Nianzhi smiled and waved at her, then said, "Young Master He, you go accompany Cousin Xie. I'll go see General He alone."
She didn't allow He Zhichu to refuse and quickly walked to the steps of the mansion.
He Zhichu sighed and walked towards the door. He opened the iron door and said aloofly, "You're back?"
Xie Qingying was furious when she saw He Zhichu's casual tone, as if nothing had happened.
"He Zhichu! Aren't you going to explain what happened just now?! "
Xie Qingying never knew that she could be angry at the Prince Charming that she missed so much, but she couldn't help it.
