He Zhichu was expressionless as he replied dryly, "What do you want me to explain? Don't I have the right to interact with other women normally? "
As expected of a famous lawyer. He Zhichu's words almost made Xie Qingying cry.
She tried her best to hold back her tears and pointed in the direction where Gu Nianzhi had disappeared. She growled, "Is Gu Nianzhi an ordinary woman?! She used to be your fiancée! "
"You said it yourself, she used to be my fiancee." He Zhichu rubbed his forehead. "The past is the past. It's all in the past. Why do you have to be so hostile the moment you see me with her?"
"What do you mean?! At the end of the day, it's still my fault?! "Xie Qingying was speechless. She didn't know how He Zhichu had gotten himself into this mess.
She looked up at He Zhichu's cold face and felt very uncomfortable.
"It's good that you realize your mistake." He Zhichu turned to walk into the house, his voice cold. "If you do this again, it will only remind me that Gu Nianzhi used to be my fiancée and deepen my memory."
Xie Qingying stood there, dumbfounded. She realized that she was no match for He Zhichu at all.
He didn't even need to argue with her. With just a few words, she had thrown away her armor and even felt a strong sense of guilt.
She really shouldn't feel jealous and uneasy every time she saw He Zhichu and Gu Nianzhi together.
However, even though she understood the logic, it was too difficult to put it into practice.
She stood in front of the iron gate at the entrance of the He family's courtyard, tears streaming down her face.
The grievance in his heart was like a flash flood that could not be suppressed.
He Zhichu walked for a while and turned around to see Xie Qingying. He realized that she was actually crying.
She stood under the camphor tree in front of the door, crying her heart out.
He Zhichu was a little dazed. He seemed to recall that once in the other world, Gu Nianzhi had gotten into a fight with someone. He was angry at Gu Nianzhi, but Gu Nianzhi refused to compromise. She fought him head-on and ran away from his house with a red and swollen face …
That lass had always had such a bad temper, and she had a sharp tongue. She had never lost to him in a verbal argument...
Xie Qingying had never cried in front of He Zhichu. This was the first time.
And for the last time, she thought.
If He Zhichu continued to ignore her, she would … she would … come back to him in a few days.
However, before she could pick up her suitcase, He Zhichu had already returned.
He took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it over.
Xie Qingying took it and wiped her tears, feeling extremely embarrassed.
He Zhichu helped her carry her suitcase and held her hand with one hand. He said dryly, "… I see Nianzhi as a younger sister. You will be her sister-in-law in the future. Don't be so calculative. You're not that kind of person."
When Xie Qingying heard this, she was overjoyed.
Just now, she was so angry that she almost said the word "break up".
But in the blink of an eye, He Zhichu had already promised her that she could be Gu Nianzhi's "sister-in-law" …
Was this a proposal?!
Xie Qingying's brain seemed to be covered in a layer of paste, and she couldn't think at all.
…
Gu Nianzhi had already been brought to the suite by He Chengjian's personal secretary, Old Zhou.
Thankfully, He Chengjian wasn't lying on the bed. Instead, he was sitting on the sofa in the living room of the suite.
Gu Nianzhi glanced at him and saw that he looked good. She couldn't help but praise him. "General He, you're recovering well, aren't you? I told you, there are plenty of good doctors. There's no need to always beg the Qin family. Without Qin Yaoguang, would everyone just have to wait for death when they get sick? How shameless! "
The corners of He Chengjian's mouth twitched.
Only then did he realize that Gu Nianzhi's personality was completely different from Qin Yaoguang's.
"Nianzhi, I heard you recommended that doctor." He Chengjian reached out his hand to her. "Come, sit. Uncle He owes you a favor."
Gu Nianzhi blinked. Why was He Chengjian's attitude so good?
It was terrifying.
She slowly moved over and carefully sat down opposite He Chengjian. "General He, are you alright?"
In her memory, He Chengjian had never been so kind to her before.
He Chengjian's health had improved, and his mood and temper had also improved.
In addition, He Zhichu and Xie Qingying were progressing smoothly. He had even heard He Zhichu talking to Old Zhou about the engagement yesterday, so he was even happier.
He no longer had his previous prejudices and prejudices against Gu Nianzhi. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her. He couldn't help saying, "Nianzhi, Ah-Chu treats you like a sister, and I also treat you like a junior. Don't be shy."
Gu Nianzhi smiled and waved her hand. "Don't be so polite. You're scaring me. I didn't do anything wrong, did I? "
"No." He Chengjian smiled. "Of course not. I was in the wrong for what happened in the past. I apologize to you. "
Gu Nianzhi sat up straighter. "General He, you're being too polite. It's all in the past. Now, we need …"
Her heart was pounding, but she still said it, "… we need to work together now to uncover the truth about Qin Suwen's sudden death."
He Chengjian's eyes dimmed in an instant. His energy seemed to have been taken away by the name.
He stood up with the help of the chair and walked to the fireplace opposite him. He picked up the family photo from the fireplace shelf and looked at it carefully. "… You think that my wife's death had nothing to do with your father, but it had something to do with your mother?"
Gu Nianzhi felt very uncomfortable when she heard the word "mother". She quickly said, "It has something to do with your ex-wife. Ex-wife, not my mother."
He Chengjian's expression darkened. He turned to look at Gu Nianzhi and snorted. "That's just a title. I'm with her in name, not in reality."
Gu Nianzhi had always thought that she was quite thick-skinned, but she couldn't help blushing at this moment.
"… Well, the marriage relationship is governed by the Marriage Law. You married her, so regardless of … whether it's in name or not, she's your ex-wife in the legal sense."
He Chengjian saw that Gu Nianzhi was quoting the legal provisions at every turn and shook his head. "You don't understand."
Gu Nianzhi thought to herself, I don't want to understand.
He Chengjian put down the family photo, turned around, and walked back to the sofa to sit down. He said, "I've seen your complaint and consulted people in the legal profession. They all said that your argument is rather far-fetched, and the chain of evidence is not complete enough. You don't have a good chance of winning. Why did you file this lawsuit? "
Gu Nianzhi didn't answer the question directly. Instead, she said, "General He, do you want to know the truth about your wife's sudden death?"
"Of course I do." He Chengjian said without hesitation, "I've kept my wife's body in liquid nitrogen for so many years just to wait for the day the truth comes out."
Gu Nianzhi had already known this fact from He Zhichu, but her eyes still widened in surprise. "Really? Then … then can we see what Qin Suwen looks like? "
In theory, liquid nitrogen freezing the human body was to lower the human body to an extremely low temperature of minus 196 degrees Celsius, thereby ensuring that the organs and tissues of the human body would not be invaded by microbes and rot to the greatest extent.
There was already liquid nitrogen freezing technology on the market now. They all hoped that one day in the future, when those fatal diseases could be cured, they could be resurrected.
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but wonder if Qin Suwen could also be resurrected.
However, so far, no human body frozen by liquid nitrogen had been resurrected. Even animals frozen by liquid nitrogen couldn't be resurrected.
Therefore, the concept of "resurrection" was still in the theoretical stage.
However, liquid nitrogen could indeed preserve the human body from decay.
He Chengjian laughed and his voice was very gentle. "We can go and take a look. Suwen probably won't be angry. We can let her see that the little girl she had personally raised has returned. "
..
Gu Nianzhi followed He Chengjian out and saw He Zhichu waiting at the door.
"Dad, where are you going?" He Zhichu looked at Gu Nianzhi suspiciously.
Gu Nianzhi tried her best to remain calm, but there was a hint of joy and yearning in her tone. "General He is taking me to see lawyer Qin Suwen."
He Zhichu quickly said, "I'll go too."
He Zhichu hadn't seen Qin Suwen ever since she had been frozen by liquid nitrogen.
He Chengjian nodded. "Let's go together."
He Zhichu followed He Chengjian and Gu Nianzhi downstairs. On the first floor, he saw Xie Qingying directing the servants to decorate the flowers and plants in the living room.
He Zhichu said to her, "We're going out for a while. Ask the kitchen to prepare lunch. We'll come back for lunch."
Xie Qingying nodded and said gently, "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."
She even smiled at Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi returned her smile and didn't say anything. She followed He Chengjian into the car.
They went to the underground medical warehouse where Qin Suwen had been frozen.
The central air conditioning here controlled the temperature, which was 15 degrees Celsius all year round.
Gu Nianzhi felt cold the moment she entered.
The three of them put on white protective clothing, so they weren't so cold.
When they arrived at Qin Suwen's room, Gu Nianzhi saw a cylindrical stainless steel object in the middle of the room.
He Chengjian stroked the cylinder and said, "Suwen is inside."
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
This was a sealed stainless steel cylinder. How was she supposed to look at it?
He Zhichu didn't know how to look at it either.
He Chengjian called the manager of the underground medical warehouse over and said, "Can you see the human body in the liquid nitrogen freezer column?"
The man nodded. "You can connect it to the computer and observe the situation inside."
"Can you show it to us?"
The man quickly said, "You have to sign the authorization first."
He Chengjian had never signed it, so the people here couldn't casually peek inside the liquid nitrogen freezer column.
He Chengjian nodded. "Bring it here for me to sign."
He felt that the truth of the past was about to be revealed, so he was no longer afraid of others mentioning Qin Suwen.
Moreover, he hoped to give Gu Nianzhi more clues so that she could uncover the truth of the past more smoothly.
After the manager finished the procedures, he connected the liquid nitrogen freezer column that belonged to Qin Suwen to the computer.
After entering the password, it was connected to the surveillance cameras inside the freezer column.
Not long after, a fog appeared on the computer screen. It was blurry, and only a faint figure could be seen.
When the manager processed the image and adjusted it to be clear, the figure appeared more clearly in front of them.
Gu Nianzhi let out a low cry and covered her mouth.
Because what appeared on the screen was a set of white bones.
