This feeling was purely Gu Nianzhi's intuition, or rather, it was a child's intuition towards her biological parents.
Gu Nianzhi stood beside Ma Qiqi and stared eagerly at the pink diamond crown on Tan Guiren's head. She gripped her phone tightly.
However, when Gu Yanran's smug and disdainful gaze swept over, it was like a bucket of ice water had been poured over Gu Nianzhi's head. She suddenly became alert.
Gu Nianzhi closed her eyes and slowly adjusted her breathing to calm herself down.
Yes, she couldn't be impulsive.
It was like fighting a lawsuit. Intuition alone wasn't enough.
You had to use concrete evidence to convince others when arguing in court. At the same time, you had to use strict logic to prove that your reasoning was correct.
This was a puzzle. It didn't matter if you knew what it looked like. You had to complete the puzzle in order to prove to others what it really looked like.
Gu Nianzhi didn't have any childlike feelings towards the man in a vegetative state on the hospital bed. At the time, she thought she was a bit cold. She didn't feel anything when she watched her own father become a vegetable.
However, she felt different about the name Gu Xiangwen. It was deeply rooted in her memory. Even though she had lost her memory and didn't even remember what he looked like, she had a different feeling towards the name.
Looking at the pink diamond crown, Gu Xiangwen's name surfaced from her hazy subconscious. It gradually took shape and became an unbreakable fortress in the bottom of her heart. It could shelter her from the wind and rain, giving her a branch to rely on.
It was just a name, but it made her feel like she had found her roots. She was no longer someone without a past.
So the first thing she needed to do now was to settle the family assets with Gu Yanran.
Because she still couldn't prove that the "Gu Xiangwen" in a vegetative state on the hospital bed was fake, she could use her identity as the daughter of the Gu family to formally ask Gu Yanran for an equal share of the family assets.
She had been away from home for seven years. In those seven years, the Gu family was controlled by Gu Yanran. She treated Gu Nianzhi like she didn't exist.
Gu Nianzhi had previously mentioned asking Gu Yanran for the family assets, but Gu Yanran had never directly responded. Gu Nianzhi also didn't pursue it. At that time, she had no feelings for the Gu family. Also, she knew that her DNA didn't match with "Gu Xiangwen" and that she was the adopted daughter of the Gu family. Therefore, she had even less desire to fight Gu Yanran for the family assets.
But it was different now.
She was convinced that she was Gu Xiangwen's biological daughter. Before she could find any evidence, she had to cut off Gu Yanran's dirty hands.
What right did Gu Yanran have to curry favor with the Huaxia Empire?
Of course, it was with the Gu family's money and Gu Nianzhi's assets.
Hehe …
He had taken advantage of her, Gu Nianzhi, and still wanted to escape unscathed?
Would she agree to ask for her expertise?
Gu Nianzhi slowly raised her head and smiled at Gu Yanran, who was high up on the spiral staircase. Her lips curled into an amused smile.
She folded her arms and even began to tap her feet.
In the front hall, Tan Guiren held up her dress with a wide smile as she walked down the steps to the center of the hall.
Gu Yanran and Prime Minister Tan smiled at each other and followed him down the steps.
The two of them continued to stand behind Tan Guiren.
Gu Yanran clapped her hands, and a young female staff member wearing a white shirt and black pants pushed a dining cart over.
On the dining car, a five-tiered cake with rainbow colors was displayed in front of everyone.
The hall was filled with applause and praises.
"Birthday girl, cut the cake!"
"Birthday girl, cut the cake!"
Tan Guiren turned to look at Gu Yanran with a smile and said sincerely, "Thank you, Miss Gu."
"You're welcome," Gu Yanran said as she handed her the long knife. "Come, cut the cake."
As Gu Yanran spoke, she gestured to the hall.
Behind the screen in the hall, a symphony of "Happy Birthday to You" suddenly sounded.
She had invited the entire national symphony orchestra to accompany her …
Everyone began to sing along happily.
"Happy Birthday to You!"
"Happy Birthday to You!"
Tan Guiren picked up the knife and turned to look at her father, Prime Minister Tan.
At that moment, someone joked, "How about Prime Minister Tan, Miss Tan, and Miss Gu cut the cake together!"
"Yes, yes! Cut it together! "
"Cut it together!"
Someone quickly joined in.
Gu Yanran looked at Prime Minister Tan. "Mr. Prime Minister …"
"Let's cut it together." Prime Minister Tan took her hand and walked to Tan Guiren's side. Then the two of them held the long handle of the cake knife with Tan Guiren's left hand and right hand respectively.
Just like that, the three of them were happy and harmonious like a family as they cut the five-layer cake to the second layer.
Cai Songyin had just walked into the hall when she saw such a scene. She was instantly enraged.
He had worked so hard in the detention center, only to be forgotten by the people!
Her childhood sweetheart's husband was holding another woman's hand and cutting a birthday cake with her beloved daughter!
Did they still remember her, the real mistress?!
She was so angry that her entire body shook. With a dark expression, she walked through the crowd and stood in front of the three people who were cutting the cake.
Tan Guiren looked up in shock to see that it was actually Cai Songyin. She was so happy that she cried.
She threw down the cake knife and rushed over. "Mommy! You're back! "
Prime Minister Tan instinctively let go of Gu Yanran's hand and also walked quickly to Cai Songyin's side. He said excitedly, "Madam, you're back!"
Cai Songyin had been in the detention center for half a month, so her previously round and smooth face had completely slimmed down.
Once an elderly person slimmed down, they appeared even older than their actual age.
There were two deep wrinkles on her face, and the crow's feet under her eyes were also very clear. She wore a wrinkled purple silk jacket and matching wool pants, so she really looked like a cleaner at the Prime Minister's official residence.
Gu Yanran walked over with a face full of smiles. She wore a simple and fitted Versace evening gown, so when she stood in front of Cai Songyin, she looked even more inferior.
She said to Cai Songyin, "Mrs. Tan, you came back just in time. We were just about to cut the cake …"
"Why are you here?" Cai Songyin asked suspiciously. The situation just now had made her very uncomfortable.
However, in front of so many guests, she couldn't make a scene too ugly. She had to give Tan Dongbang face, and today was her precious daughter's birthday. She didn't want her daughter to be unhappy.
Before Gu Yanran could speak, Tan Guiren quickly said, "Mommy, don't be angry. Miss Gu is Daddy's personal assistant. She was the one who organized my birthday party. Look, aren't there many guests today? "
"Personal assistant?" Cai Songyin suppressed her anger and looked at Tan Dongbang. "Isn't this about work? Why do we need Miss Gu's help with our family affairs? "
"… It's just taking care of the internal affairs of the Prime Minister's official residence and taking care of Little Darling. You also know that I'm very busy with work. When you weren't there, Yanran … Miss Gu helped us a lot." Prime Minister Tan quickly explained in a low voice. At the same time, he gave Cai Songyin a look to tell her not to ask any more questions.
But how could Gu Nianzhi not take advantage of this opportunity?
She walked over, clasped her hands together, and said with a smile, "So that's how it is … No wonder my sister said she wanted to take care of Miss Tan and didn't have time to take care of me. That's great! Now that Mrs. Tan is back, you don't have to be Prime Minister Tan's personal assistant anymore, right? "
Gu Yanran was choked by Gu Nianzhi's words. She was about to respond when she realized something was wrong.
She said she still wanted to be a personal assistant, so how could Cai Songyin just let it go?
But if she said she wasn't going to do it, wouldn't all her money go down the drain?
Gu Yanran smiled and pointed at Gu Nianzhi affectionately. "You only know how to be mischievous. It's serious business for me to be the Prime Minister's personal assistant. How can I just say no? "
"Oh? But Mrs. Tan is already back. What else do you need to do, Sister? The internal affairs of the Prime Minister's official residence, the Prime Minister's food, clothing, accommodation, and travel arrangements, as well as Miss Tan's daily life, will all be taken care of by Mrs. Tan, the proper mistress of the house. What else can you do, Sister? "
Gu Nianzhi raised her eyebrows and smiled gently.
Cai Songyin nodded from the side and said, "I've troubled Miss Gu these days. I'll be in this house in the future. You …"
She hesitated and didn't know what to say.
Gu Yanran was a bit surprised. She didn't expect Gu Nianzhi to start sowing discord as soon as Cai Songyin returned.
She walked to Gu Nianzhi's side and poked her shoulder. "Nianzhi, don't mess around. I'm doing serious business." As she spoke, she quickly glanced at Prime Minister Tan.
"Yes, Mrs. Tan will take care of the internal affairs of the Prime Minister's household and Miss Tan in the future. Sister, what else can you do as a personal assistant? "Gu Nianzhi spread her hands and looked aggrieved." I just don't want you to work too hard. You're the eldest daughter of the wealthy Gu family in Barbados, but you have to wait on people here. Don't you think that's degrading? "
"How can being a personal assistant be a job to wait on people? You're Yanran's younger sister. How can you talk like that? " Prime Minister Tan saw that Gu Yanran's face had turned pale and couldn't stand listening anymore. He spoke up for her. "Also, although my wife is back and doesn't need her to take care of the internal affairs of the Prime Minister's official residence and my daughter, there are still many things in the Prime Minister's official residence that require her to organize."
The corners of Cai Songyin's eyes twitched.
Tan Dongbang's tone when speaking for Gu Yanran was so intimate …
However, Gu Nianzhi wasn't frightened. She smiled and nodded at Prime Minister Tan. "So, Prime Minister Tan, other than letting my sister take care of the internal affairs, you also need her to help you take care of work matters?"
The work schedule of the Prime Minister's official residence and the Prime Minister's itinerary were indeed official matters.
Prime Minister Tan nodded and praised her vigorously. "Yanran has done very well. With her around, the work efficiency of the Prime Minister's official residence has doubled."
"Haha, so that's how it is. Prime Minister Tan, how can you knowingly break the law? " Gu Nianzhi made a sincere expression. "Hurry up and fire my sister. I really can't bear to see you get impeached before you've even secured your position."
The word "impeachment" was taboo for Tan Dongbang right now. He laughed coldly. "I never knew that hiring a personal assistant would actually result in impeachment! There are so many Prime Ministers in our country, and each one has their own personal assistant. If you want to impeach them, you have to find trouble with these people first! "
"I don't know what's going on with the former Prime Minister's personal assistants. But I do know that you're using Gu Yanran as your personal assistant to handle the official affairs of the Prime Minister's official residence. That's already the highest level of leaking secrets. "Gu Nianzhi raised her chin, and her expression became serious." Gu Yanran is a Barbadian citizen. May I ask when have you ever seen the highest leader of a country use a foreigner to handle official affairs?! "
