"What could that little girl say?" Song Jinning smiled. "I'll just lie down by myself …"
"You can't say that." Huo Shaoheng didn't hide anything in front of Song Jinning. He smiled. "Didn't you say you wanted to sue the person who slandered and forged evidence? Nianzhi is a law student and is very smart. Maybe she can help you. " He paused, then continued in a seemingly casual manner, "She's only 18 and has already graduated from university. She's about to go to B University to study law."
"Oh? That smart? That's an interesting little girl. " Song Jinning nodded and blinked. She could tell that Huo Shaoheng was very protective of Gu Nianzhi. "Call her in."
Huo Shaoheng nodded and walked out of Operating Room B to Chen Lie's study. He waved at Gu Nianzhi. "Come with me for a second."
He first brought Gu Nianzhi to the small garden behind the official residence to explain the situation.
The two of them stood beside a row of shrubs in the garden. Huo Shaoheng put his hands in his trouser pockets and stared straight ahead. He looked like he wanted to say something but was hesitant.
He didn't know how to tell Gu Nianzhi about this. Was it good or bad for her to get involved?
Huo Shaoheng stood there silently. His silhouette was tall and imposing. Overhead was a clear blue sky with the sun, but the sunlight wasn't warm or dazzling.
There was a warm scent in the air.
Gu Nianzhi stood beside Huo Shaoheng and wasn't in a hurry to ask him what was going on.
She enjoyed being alone with Huo Shaoheng like this. Just standing by his side like this was enough to feel the peacefulness of the years.
Huo Shaoheng, on the other hand, was thinking about the past. He was a bit annoyed at first, but his gaze moved to Gu Nianzhi's face. He saw her dark eyes staring at him without blinking. It was as if they could speak and clearly expressed her attachment and dependence.
Huo Shaoheng's heart calmed down instantly. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket and lit one. He took a deep drag and exhaled in the direction of the wind. He didn't smell Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi didn't care at all. She was infatuated with the smell of Huo Shaoheng, whether it was the faint smell of smoke between her fingers, or the slight smell of gunpowder and leather that lingered on her palm from holding a gun for so long. Mixed together, it made her feel safe and warm.
"Bai Jinyi will be getting engaged to my father at the Huo family's New Year's reception tomorrow." Huo Shaoheng's words were like a bomb that blew away all of Gu Nianzhi's fantasies.
"Ah?! They were getting engaged?! What about Madam Song?! " Gu Nianzhi knew that Song Jinning and Huo Guanchen had divorced, but Huo Guanchen hadn't remarried after all these years!
Moreover, Song Jinning had recognized Huo Guanchen even when she was suffering from severe mental illness. If she said she had no feelings for him, Gu Nianzhi would chop off her own head!
"… There's nothing we can do." Huo Shaoheng took another puff of his cigarette. His expression was calm. "I don't think my mother will go back to you."
Gu Nianzhi was speechless. Fine, I'll listen to you since you're handsome.
"I just told my mother some things that happened in the past 16 years. My mother is a bit emotionally unstable. Go talk to her," Huo Shaoheng continued. His eyes narrowed slightly as his gaze swept over Gu Nianzhi's pretty and delicate face. "There's one more thing you need to be aware of. What we knew before was only one aspect of the situation. Now that my mother is sober, many things can be explained differently. "
Gu Nianzhi nodded quickly. "I'll comfort her."
Huo Shaoheng flicked his cigarette and said casually, "My mother doesn't admit that she wrote that letter when she was conscious, so …" He looked at Gu Nianzhi, his eyes dark. "My mother might want to find the people who slandered her and bring them to justice."
"You mean, sue them?" Gu Nianzhi suddenly understood. A bright smile blossomed on her face. "No problem! Leave it to me! "She was a bit embarrassed." But Huo Shao, are you sure you want me to help your mother? "
"You don't want to?"
"It's not that I don't want to. It's not that I don't have the ability. " Gu Nianzhi was very confident in her abilities. "It's just that this is ultimately a private matter between your parents. If I want to be Mrs. Song's legal representative, then …"
There were many private matters that had to be told to her.
Gu Nianzhi felt that she was going to be Song Jinning's daughter-in-law in the future.
Was it really okay for a daughter-in-law to know so many of her mother-in-law's affairs?!
She also needed to know how to avoid arousing suspicion …
Huo Shaoheng pursed his lips and glanced at her. "It's nothing. It's not an outsider. "
The words "it's not an outsider" made Gu Nianzhi feel like she was floating.
She followed Huo Shaoheng back to Operating Room B on the first floor of the official residence. She still had that dreamy smile on her face when Huo Shaoheng left, leaving her alone with Song Jinning.
Song Jinning looked at her quietly for a while and finally couldn't help but smile. "Nianzhi, what are you thinking about?"
Gu Nianzhi's heart skipped a beat. She looked at Song Jinning's interested eyes and couldn't help blushing. She quickly covered it up. "I'm thinking about how to help Mrs. Song deal with those bad guys."
Song Jinning cocked her head and looked at her. She felt that the girl was becoming more and more beautiful and friendly. She pointed to the soft sofa beside the operating chair. "Sit here and talk to me."
Gu Nianzhi sat down and picked up the lychees from the fruit basket on the small table beside her. She peeled them for Song Jinning.
"Do you know about these things?" Song Jinning had just woken up and was faced with so much explosive news. Even though she was strong-willed and had never been overly sensitive about relationships, it was still a little overwhelming. She needed to confide in someone. She needed to talk to someone about these things. Just thinking about it made it hard for her to breathe.
Gu Nianzhi looked up. Her delicate little face was flushed. She was even more alluring than the lychees she peeled. Her voice was even sweeter and softer. "Mrs. Song, are you talking about those love letters?"
Gu Nianzhi had more or less learned about Song Jinning's situation from her conflict with Huo Jialan the other day.
She was indignant that Huo Guanchen had divorced his seriously ill wife just because of a few fake letters.
Song Jinning sighed softly. She looked down and adjusted the blue striped fine checkered blanket on her body. "I'm sorry. I can't do anything about these things. I don't understand why this happened. "
"Huo Shao just said that the letter with your name on it might have been written by you in a state of unconsciousness?" Gu Nianzhi saw that Song Jinning was in a difficult position, so she decided to be frank. She tried to use the professionalism of a lawyer to discuss the issue with Song Jinning.
Song Jinning nodded. "I think so. I don't remember writing such a letter before the explosion. "She paused, then asked," Have you seen Bai Jinyi? "
Gu Nianzhi nodded without batting an eyelid. "I saw her once. She's old and ugly now. One's appearance is a reflection of one's heart. People who steal their best friends' husbands are destined to age faster than others. They're fighting with their lives on the line."
Song Jinning smiled and said softly, "You child, don't say things like that so easily."
"Yes yes yes, I won't say it again in the future. Let me say enough today." Gu Nianzhi winked at Song Jinning, then brought a small bowl of peeled lychees to Song Jinning. She put a fork on it. "Try it. It's delicious."
Only the Huo family's status could enjoy fresh lychees in winter.
Song Jinning ate two and stopped eating. "You eat it. This lychee is too sweet for me."
Gu Nianzhi blinked. There were people who thought lychees were too sweet?
No wonder she had a son like Huo Shaoheng. Gu Nianzhi admired Song Jinning even more.
"Shaoheng said that you're a law student, so I wanted to ask you, in this situation, can I find the mastermind and sue them in court?" Song Jinning felt disgusted from the bottom of her heart at the thought of someone using such a method to slander her name.
She didn't want to keep the peace for the sake of her reputation. She didn't want to suffer grievances and suffer in silence. She also didn't want to repay evil with good after being framed.
She was a scientist. In the world of science, black and white were clearly distinguished. There was no room for falsehood.
