Guo Huining was upset and said unhappily, "We're not relatives at all. Look at me, he didn't even think of hiring a lawyer for me. He just left me to fend for myself. I even helped him with his business in the past. "
Huo Shaoheng studied Guo Huining's expression and determined she wasn't faking it.
It seemed like she really didn't know Guo Hongmao.
Guo Huining was angry and regretful at the same time, "Actually, I brought a lot of business to the Monarch Descent Law Firm in the past six months, but he pretended not to know me."
"Although Guo Hongmao only took over the Monarch Descent Law Firm for a year and a half, his business is very big. He doesn't need your help." Gu Nianzhi brought up the Monarch Descent Law Firm's annual income on her phone, "Look, this is the Monarch Descent Law Firm's annual income last year published on the law firm rankings. With this number, the Guo's can easily enter the ranks of wealthy families."
Guo Huining stared at the rankings, her body trembling as she said angrily, "He's obviously not acknowledging us. He doesn't even say anything when there's nothing going on. Now that I'm in trouble, he won't acknowledge me as his niece even more."
"You can't say that? He helped you set up a trap for Old Madam Hong. " Gu Nianzhi still remembered that Old Madam Hong had hired the Monarch Descent Law Firm to make an apology for her. However, it had dragged on and Guo Huining had used a video apology and confession to slap her in the face.
"You call that helping?" Guo Huining sneered, but she was also beginning to feel suspicious.
At that time, it was clearly Dou Aiyan and Deputy Director Jia who pulled the strings. How did it have anything to do with Guo Hongmao?
"Don't you really want to enter a wealthy family? Now that you have a chance, you might become one yourself. Why don't you care at all? "Gu Nianzhi asked curiously. She couldn't understand Guo Huining's mentality.
How could Guo Huining not care?
But this uncle of hers hadn't had any contact with the Guo's for so many years. How could she get close to him?
There had to be a reason …
Huo Shaoheng carefully studied Guo Huining and saw that she didn't seem to be faking it. She really didn't know this uncle of hers.
He smiled and continued Gu Nianzhi's words. "Yes, although your uncle didn't publicly acknowledge you, he didn't abandon you. He still helped you."
"Are you talking about Old Madam Hong?" Guo Huining didn't think that she was helping her at all. She was obviously helping herself.
Huo Shaoheng shook his head calmly. "No, it was even earlier than that."
He paused, and seeing Guo Huining's confused expression, he continued, "More than ten years ago, when you just graduated from university, with your family background, how did you think you would have the opportunity to get to know a rich young master like Hong Ziqi? And the heir of the Hong Family … "
Guo Huining's eyelashes trembled rapidly, and her eyes blinked rapidly.
"What … what did you say?!"
Gu Nianzhi was also curious. "Oh yeah, how did you know Hong Ziqi? Did you get to know him when you went to the Hong Conglomerate to look for a job? "
Guo Huining recalled that she had just graduated from university more than ten years ago.
At that time, she was also struggling to find a job. Although she graduated from a famous school, she didn't want to start as a junior lawyer like other students.
She was smart, capable, and had many professional certificates in her hands. She was full of hope that she could soar to the top.
However, without qualifications or family background, it was very difficult to get to a high position as soon as you graduated from school.
Unless you were extremely lucky.
Guo Huining had always thought that her achievements were the result of her own ability and heaven-defying luck.
Of course, her luck had been completely crushed after meeting Gu Nianzhi.
However, at that time, she was reminded that even the luck she had been so proud of wasn't hers. Someone had helped her.
She immediately recalled that when she had gone to the Hong Corporation to interview for the position of the general manager's legal advisor, she had been rejected for the first meeting.
However, a few days later, she received a call from the Hong Corporation. They said that the person in front of her had given up the opportunity for some reason and asked if she was interested in attending the second meeting.
Guo Huining was overjoyed and couldn't have asked for more. She immediately set a date for the second meeting.
After that, everything had been smooth sailing.
She got the position and got to know the heir of the Hong Corporation, Hong Ziqi. She got along well with him and soon confirmed their relationship. A year later, they were engaged.
However, that was only until the engagement.
After being engaged for more than ten years, she still couldn't marry into the Hong family.
Guo Huining told them all about it and said excitedly, "What do you mean? Was it because of Guo Hongmao that I got a second chance after I failed the interview?! "
Huo Shaoheng said calmly, "From the clues provided by the HR director of the Hong Corporation, that was the case. She said that a businessman with the surname Guo was a big client of theirs. This person introduced you as a distant relative, so they gave you a second chance. "
Later, the Hong family saw that she was quite capable and tacitly approved of her relationship with Hong Ziqi.
Unfortunately, Guo Hongmao went abroad and didn't have any business with the Hong Corporation after he returned.
After the Hong family learned more about Guo Huining's personality, they didn't approve of her marrying into the Hong family.
After Huo Shaoheng searched the Monarch Descends Law Office and discovered Guo Hongmao, Guo Huining's relationship with the Hong family caught his attention again.
Huo Shaoheng sent Yin Shixiong to find Old Madam Hong and reinvestigate the case.
As for Guo Huining, she knew nothing about it.
However, she was very excited when she found out.
Her face was terrifyingly red, and she was almost hysterical. "If he was my uncle, why didn't he contact me for so many years?!
If he didn't want to acknowledge us as relatives, why did he help me?!
"Doesn't he know that if he lifts someone up high and then leaves, he will make me fall to pieces?!"
Who needs enemies when they have relatives like that?! "
Guo Huining screamed hysterically.
She couldn't take it anymore and said coldly, "That's enough! He helped you, and no matter the reason, he already gave you a higher starting point than everyone else. You don't cherish it, but blame others for lifting you up! Are you even speaking like a human? "
Guo Huining was embarrassed by her words, but she didn't want to bow her head just like that.
"Isn't that right?! If I hadn't been chosen by the Hong Corporation, I wouldn't have reached such a high position so quickly. I wouldn't have been so ambitious! I would have kept my feet on the ground! But what about him? He used this kind of method to lift me up, so I can't see myself clearly! "
Guo Huining continued to speak with conviction.
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
She stood up and said to Huo Shaoheng, "Let's go. I don't want to talk to this kind of person anymore. In her eyes, the whole world revolves around her. There's something wrong with anyone who doesn't revolve around her. "
"This kind of person is delusional and paranoid. I feel like I'm going to lose my mind if I talk to her too much. "
