Since that was the case, He Zhichu didn't need to say more.
Auntie Qin was actually pregnant and had a miscarriage …
After He Zhichu put down the phone, his brows furrowed for a long time before finally sighing softly.
He pinched the slight wrinkle between his brows and checked his voicemail.
Gu Nianzhi's light and crisp voice slipped into his eardrums.
He Zhichu couldn't help curling his lips.
He immediately called Gu Nianzhi's new number.
It was six or seven in the evening. Gu Nianzhi and Ma Qiqi had just returned from dinner and had just gone to the bathroom to shower.
It was already very cold in the Imperial Capital in early October.
She came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bathrobe and used a towel to dry her freshly washed hair. When she heard her phone ring, she quickly walked over to check.
It was He Zhichu's number.
Gu Nianzhi happily swiped the phone to answer, "Professor He! You're so busy! "
He Zhichu sat on the sofa in the suite of the professor's building, one hand tapping on the armrest in satisfaction. His expression was still cold, but his voice was very gentle, "Nianzhi, you're back at school?"
"Yeah, I just got back today." Gu Nianzhi sat on the soft chair in front of her desk and put on her Bluetooth headset to talk to He Zhichu. This way, she could free her hands, "Professor He, can you send me this semester's class schedule? I want to see how many courses I need to graduate. "
He Zhichu froze, "Graduate? You want to graduate that badly? "
"Yeah, I've thought about it. A master's in law doesn't require a lot of credits. The key is the graduation thesis. As long as I can finish the credits and complete the thesis, the faculty should be able to allow me to graduate early, right? " Gu Nianzhi spoke and used a pitiful voice to beg He Zhichu, "Professor He, you're my mentor. You won't allow me to graduate early, right?"
He Zhichu sighed and felt his head hurt even more, "Nianzhi, you're still young. Why do you want to graduate early? I think it's best for you to stay in school for a few more years … "
Gu Nianzhi shook her head and looked out the window at the gradually darkening sky. She suddenly wanted to talk to someone.
"Professor He, I know I'm young, but who says I have to be old to enter society? All these years, I've been protected by Huo … Shaoheng too well, and I'm completely out of touch with society. Now that I'm independent, of course I have to get close to society as soon as possible. "
Without the illusory peach blossom garden that Huo Shaoheng had created for her, she would rather become stronger so that she could create a peach blossom garden for herself.
"Independent?" He Zhichu didn't think much of it. "What are you talking about? Would Huo Shaoheng let you leave him? "
Gu Nianzhi smiled bitterly. She didn't mention that she had already broken up with Huo Shaoheng. She only whispered, "… Huo Shaoheng is also very busy … I just want to graduate early and find a job to support myself."
No matter how good Huo Shaoheng was to her, this experience only served to remind her that she was no different from Sister Lin, who was living under someone else's roof.
The difference was that Little Sister Lin did not have the opportunity and ability to break away from that family and live on her own, but she could.
Although Gu Nianzhi didn't say anything, He Zhichu had already sensed something sensitive.
He sat up straight and asked slowly, "Nianzhi, did you fight with Huo Shaoheng?"
Gu Nianzhi didn't answer and only said, "Professor He, please help me and let me graduate early. This is very important to me."
He Zhichu saw that she was avoiding the topic and was basically certain that something had happened between her and Huo Shaoheng.
This was also within his expectations.
Ever since Gu Nianzhi cried and complained in Germany, He Zhichu felt that Gu Nianzhi probably wanted to break up with Huo Shaoheng.
Of course, he also knew that Huo Shaoheng wasn't the kind of person that would break up with just because she said so.
Huo Shaoheng was the same kind of person as He Zhichu. They both liked to have everything in their control and wouldn't allow anything to escape their control.
But coincidentally, both of them had met someone who had escaped their control, and it was the same person — Gu Nianzhi.
"I'll send you this semester's class schedule, as well as next semester's. If you can handle it, you can complete 15 credits in the remaining four months, which is five courses. Then you can write your thesis and do your internship in the second half of next year. "He Zhichu opened Gu Nianzhi's class schedule and gave her a suggestion after a brief look.
Gu Nianzhi immediately said, "It's not a problem to complete 15 credits in four months. I'll try and see if I can write my thesis at the same time."
He Zhichu sat up straight and said seriously, "… Think about it carefully before making a decision. Your body won't be able to handle taking so many courses and writing a thesis at the same time. "
"I'm fine. I'm talented." Gu Nianzhi chuckled and mocked herself. He Zhichu was speechless.
After putting down the phone, Gu Nianzhi turned on her computer to check her email and study her class schedule.
He Zhichu sat alone on the sofa and thought for a long time before getting up to contact an American law firm.
The next day, when Gu Nianzhi checked her bank account balance, she was shocked to find that there was a large amount of money in her card!
The money was enough for her to buy the second-hand house she was interested in in cash with some left over!
Gu Nianzhi's heart trembled. Her first thought was, Did Huo Shaoheng give her the money?
But after calming down, she carefully checked the source of the money and discovered that it was from an American law firm.
Gu Nianzhi called He Zhichu. "Professor He, I just discovered that my bank card received a sum of money from an American law firm. Do you know why?"
He Zhichu smiled as he stood in front of the window. He held his phone in one hand and used the other to rub bread crumbs into the fish tank to feed the goldfish. He said, "… It's your performance bonus. You helped us win Li Haiqing's lawsuit this time, so this is the first bonus. "
"That much?!" Gu Nianzhi looked at the balance in her bank account and couldn't bear to put it down. "No wonder everyone wants to be a lawyer. What a bright future for money!"
He Zhichu laughed. "Little money grubber … You've never been short of money?"
Gu Nianzhi was embarrassed and secretly made a face at the phone. He Zhichu couldn't see it anyway.
She smiled and said, "Professor He, a gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way. Why can't I love money? Also, I'm proud to earn money from my own labor. "
"Yes, of course you can." He Zhichu smiled without batting an eyelid. "Don't forget about Li Haiqing's case. There's still civil compensation. When the trial is over, you can also get another performance bonus."
Gu Nianzhi nodded quickly. "Yes yes yes! Thank you Professor He for the opportunity! Please help me in the future, Professor He! "
"You're my assistant. If I don't give you a chance, who should I give a chance to?" He Zhichu was in a great mood. He dusted off the bread crumbs in his hands and said to Gu Nianzhi, "When are you going back to class? Are you feeling better? "
"I'm fully recovered. I've been recovering for a long time." Gu Nianzhi looked at her schedule. "Any time is fine. I want to give it my all in these four months! I'm so addicted to studying that I'm losing weight! "
He Zhichu was speechless.
After putting down the phone, Gu Nianzhi immediately began to draft a study plan and class selection. She also needed He Zhichu and the faculty to provide proof that she could make an exception and choose classes.
Because Li Haiqing's case had dragged on for too long, and she had experienced a period of being on the run, she had already missed the deadline for class selection.
If she wanted to choose these classes now, she would have to make special arrangements.
She would definitely need proof from the instructor and faculty. Then she would have to personally beg the instructors of those classes to allow her to choose classes.
By the time she had registered for all five courses and successfully started her thesis, it was already Thursday night.
Gu Nianzhi returned from the library and saw the familiar silver Bentley Bentayga SUV in front of the dormitory building.
It was Huo Shaoheng's new car.
She took a few steps forward and saw Huo Shaoheng smoking under the streetlight next to the car.
He was tall and wore a general's uniform. His sleeves were rolled up, and he leaned against the hood of the car with his back facing her.
Gu Nianzhi coughed lightly. Huo Shaoheng turned to look at her.
Gu Nianzhi smiled and nodded. "Waiting for someone?"
Huo Shaoheng threw away the cigarette in his hand and said calmly, "Yes, waiting for you."
"What's the matter?" Gu Nianzhi held up a stack of reference books. "I'm very busy."
Huo Shaoheng didn't know what to feel. He suppressed his surging emotions and said with a smile, "I've checked the background of the people in Hepingli District and the owner of the second-hand house. Not bad. They don't have any bad records."
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
It wasn't a criminal record. Huo Shaoheng was making a mountain out of a molehill …
Gu Nianzhi pouted inwardly and said politely, "Thank you. I was planning to sign the contract and transfer the ownership tomorrow."
Huo Shaoheng nodded. "I'll go with you."
"Qiqi will go with me." Gu Nianzhi declined politely. "You're too busy. Our home is small and can't accommodate a great Buddha like you."
He was so polite and had a slightly sarcastic tone.
Huo Shaoheng's eyes dimmed. He shook his head. "It's okay. I'm happy to."
But I'm not happy …
Gu Nianzhi almost blurted out.
But looking at Huo Shaoheng's serious expression, she wondered if he was used to caring for her, or did he treat her like a child …
She couldn't buy her own house, drive her own car, or drink alcohol …
Gu Nianzhi looked up and took two deep breaths to suppress the unspeakable depression.
She knew that no one could stop Huo Shaoheng from doing what he said he was going to do.
She didn't want to waste her energy.
"Okay, whatever you want." Gu Nianzhi nodded at Huo Shaoheng and turned to go upstairs.
Huo Shaoheng didn't follow her this time. Instead, he leaned against the hood of the car and took out a cigarette from his trouser pocket. He twisted it and watched Gu Nianzhi's figure disappear from his sight expressionlessly.
Yin Shixiong didn't dare to make a sound in the car until he saw Gu Nianzhi leave. He then poked his head out of the car and asked quietly, "Huo Shao, you guys really broke up?"
"Is that possible? Nianzhi is young and likes to dream. How old are you to still dream? "Huo Shaoheng glanced at him calmly and lowered his head to light his cigarette. He used the new lighter Gu Nianzhi had given him.
