Gu Nianzhi finished watching the live broadcast of the first trial and quickly sorted out a few suspicious points.
First, Cai Songyin's legal team had directly admitted that she had misappropriated campaign funds. This was the biggest mistake.
In a case like this, as long as there was a case of misappropriation of campaign funds, even if the funds were returned on time, the case would have already lost in terms of logic, even if the funds were returned on time.
That was because the public would always remember that you had a wife and finance director who misappropriated campaign funds. If Tan Dongbang wanted to run for re-election in the future, Cai Songyin would almost guarantee that he would never be able to raise money again.
So why did Jin Wanyi publicly admit it in her defense?
Since there was a bank account to prove that the funds had been repaid within three months, it was fine to directly argue that it was a normal use of campaign funds.
Since it was all cash inflows and outflows, Gu Nianzhi didn't believe that Jin Wanyi hadn't consulted a professional accountant.
So why did they have to leave such a big loophole?
Second, it was even funnier to push the nonsense of the press release to a temporary worker. This kind of reason was fine to fool the netizens, but to use it as a legitimate reason in court, it was like they didn't want Cai Songyin to die safely enough, so they directly planted a ticking time bomb for themselves?
In conclusion, Gu Nianzhi could only see one goal in doing this, and that was to target Cai Songyin.
Prime Minister Tan had perfectly extricated himself from this case, and Cai Songyin would most likely not be sentenced because it would be very difficult to convict her of breaking the law.
However, her reputation was completely ruined, so she would no longer be able to help Tan Dongbang in the election.
It could be said that this case would only ruin Cai Songyin alone.
That was interesting.
Gu Nianzhi turned off her phone and propped her head on her hand as she mused on the desk.
…
After the live broadcast of the trial, some people were happy while others were sad.
Tan Guiren watched as her mother lost control during the trial and was finally taken away by the bailiff. She immediately burst into tears.
Gu Yanran and Tan Dongbang coaxed her together for a long time before she finally calmed down.
Tan Guiren cried until she was tired and fell asleep as soon as she got home.
Tan Dongbang tucked her in and said with pity, "This child has really been spoiled by her mother and me." He glanced at Gu Yanran. "Yanran, you have to spend more time with Little Darling in the future. You're strong, gentle, and very capable. I hope Little Darling can be positively influenced by you."
"You flatter me, Prime Minister." Gu Yanran was flattered.
She and Tan Dongbang left Tan Guiren's bedroom together.
The corridor leading back to the office was empty and deep.
Tan Dongbang sighed and said, "… If only Little Darling was like you. I really wish I could have a daughter like you."
Gu Yanran stopped in her tracks and looked at Tan Dongbang boldly. "Prime Minister, you know that I don't want to be your daughter."
"… Is it hard for you to be my daughter?" Tan Dongbang looked away uncomfortably. "I'm old enough to be your father."
Gu Yanran suddenly became excited. She looked up at Tan Dongbang with undisguised admiration in her eyes and whispered, "I also wish to have a father like you in my dreams, but when I'm really by your side, I'm glad you're not my father. Otherwise, what would I do?"
Tan Dongbang closed his eyes and felt all the blood in his body rush to his brain. His eardrums pounded, and he could barely hear anything other than Gu Yanran's slightly raspy voice echoing in his ears.
His arm instinctively wrapped around Gu Yanran's waist.
Gu Yanran pushed open a door in the hallway and pulled Tan Dongbang inside.
The room was dark, and the curtains were lowered, so they couldn't tell which room it was.
However, Tan Dongbang had already pressed Gu Yanran onto the sofa and started kissing her like crazy.
He hadn't been like this in a long time since Cai Songyin's accident …
…
When Gu Yanran woke up the next day, she saw Tan Dongbang still sound asleep beside her and was extremely satisfied.
She used her hand to draw circles on Tan Dongbang's chest until she saw him wake up.
Tan Dongbang wasn't a young man anymore, so his stamina couldn't compare to Ye Xuan's. However, the satisfaction he gave Gu Yanran was unparalleled.
"You're awake?" Tan Dongbang opened his eyes to see Gu Yanran's beautiful face. He grabbed her hand and leaned down to kiss her.
"Yeah." Gu Yanran beamed and sat up from the bed. "Little Darling's birthday is coming up soon. I want to throw her a grand birthday party. What do you think?"
"Really? I forgot about it. I've been too busy lately. " Tan Dongbang also sat up and had an even better impression of Gu Yanran. "I'm very happy that you're good to Little Darling."
"I know, but I want you to know that I like Little Darling because you like her. I'll treasure everything you like."
Gu Yanran was very good at sweet-talking, and Tan Dongbang hadn't felt this kind of feeling in many years.
After being married to Cai Songyin for so many years, it was like his left hand touching his right hand. It wasn't as exciting as being with Gu Yanran …
However, his beloved daughter, Tan Guiren, was still his treasure.
Gu Yanran understood this very well, which was why she loved Tan Guiren so much.
Also, Tan Guiren was only a daughter. She could get married with some dowry, so it wouldn't hinder her at all.
Also, she knew that Tan Dongbang and Cai Songyin had always been trying to matchmake Tan Guiren and Huo Shaoheng.
Originally, Gu Yanran thought it was impossible.
However, after learning that Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng had broken up, she suddenly felt that it wasn't impossible.
Although Huo Shaoheng wasn't interested in her, it was different for Tan Guiren.
Gu Yanran had also clearly seen his attitude toward Tan Guiren at the airport that time.
Therefore, as long as Tan Guiren could steal Huo Shaoheng over, she could completely defeat Gu Nianzhi.
When Gu Yanran thought of this, she became even more enthusiastic.
After breakfast, she went to see Tan Guiren.
She saw that Tan Guiren was still sitting motionlessly in front of the vanity.
"Little Darling, what's wrong?" Gu Yanran sat next to her and combed her hair. "It's your birthday in two days. Your father said he's going to hold a grand birthday party for you. When the time comes, he's going to invite all the influential people in the Imperial Capital to celebrate your birthday. How does that sound?"
Tan Guiren looked down listlessly. "My Mommy's case isn't over yet. How can I be in the mood for a birthday party?"
"Little Darling, you can't say that." Gu Yanran held her hand and persuaded her. "Do you think a birthday party at the Prime Minister's official residence is just a party?" This was also a social occasion, and many important events were decided at such social occasions. If you want your Mommy's case to end as soon as possible, you should also happily host this birthday party and then find an opportunity to plead with those influential people … "
Tan Guiren was convinced. "Really?"
"Of course." Gu Yanran held her hand. "I have another piece of news to tell you."
"What news? Is it about my Mommy? "Tan Guiren asked reflexively.
"Uh, it's about Huo Shao."
"Huo Shao?" Tan Guiren felt like it had been a long time since she heard this form of address.
"Yes, I heard that he broke up with his girlfriend, Gu Nianzhi."
"How did you know?" Tan Guiren's eyes widened.
"Gu Nianzhi told me herself. Don't forget that Gu Nianzhi is my sister. "Gu Yanran smiled faintly with a teasing look in her eyes.
