"Also, didn't you say this was a birthday present from Father? But look at the date of the auction on the receipt! That was my birthday! My first birthday! Why would Father bid for this crown on my birthday and give it to you as a birthday present?! Gu Yanran, you're a complete idiot. Do you think everyone else is as stupid as you?! "
Gu Nianzhi finished speaking in one breath and panted slightly from excitement.
She was only glad that when her father requested the engraving, he also requested the auction house to keep it a secret. Therefore, although Gu Yanran had received the receipt and proof of purchase from Christie's, she didn't know about the engraving at all.
Otherwise, Gu Yanran wouldn't have dared to publicly give away the pink diamond crown.
Gu Yanran was completely stunned by the image shown by the projector.
She had coveted this pink diamond crown for many years. Finally, she could get her hands on it openly. She had played with it countless times at home and was confident that she had studied it thoroughly. However, she had never expected that there would be a hidden thorn lying in the dark!
Father, oh Father … You racked your brains just for Gu Nianzhi … Why have you never treated me so well?!
Gu Yanran had a pitiful smile on her face. Her entire body was cold and trembling, and her eyes were filled with unknown resentment. Her usual gentleness and charm was nowhere to be found.
Ye Xuan was also stunned by the words on the screen. He looked at Gu Yanran and then Gu Nianzhi and felt that something was wrong.
He knew about this pink diamond crown. When he was in boarding school in the United States, he had secretly chatted with Uncle Gu's daughter anonymously. She often mentioned this item and said that it was a birthday present from her father when she was one. She liked it very much.
She liked this pink diamond crown so much, but she ended up giving it to someone else. Ye Xuan didn't understand at first, but Gu Yanran told him that it was for the greater good …
This was the first time he had seen the receipt and realized that it was dated 18 years ago. That definitely wasn't Gu Yanran's first birthday.
Gu Yanran was the same age as Tan Guiren. She was also 25 this year and three years older than Ye Xuan.
So who was the anonymous Miss Gu who had chatted with him online all those years ago?!
Ye Xuan suddenly felt a splitting headache. He hugged his head and took a step back, hiding in the shadows in the corner of the wall.
Gu Nianzhi's low rebuke echoed in the hall, and the guests were all dumbstruck. They were shocked speechless by this dramatic turn of events.
Prime Minister Tan also froze for a moment before politely extending his hand and saying, "What exactly is going on? Miss Gu Nianzhi, please return this pink diamond crown to me first. Do you want to settle the matter between you and your sister in private? "
Shedding all pretense of cordiality in public was too unsightly.
Gu Nianzhi chuckled and shook her head. "That won't do. This is a gift from my father. How can I give it to you? Not to mention the word 'return'. Mr. Prime Minister, don't you feel embarrassed saying this? "
Prime Minister Tan had spoken, so he didn't need to say anything else.
Prime Minister Tan's chief secretary immediately chimed in. "Miss Gu Nianzhi, everyone saw it clearly just now. You used deceptive tactics to trick our Miss into giving it to you. I don't care what argument you have with your sister, but this pink diamond crown was officially given to our Miss as a birthday present by Miss Gu Yanran. You can't be so low that you want to take back a gift you gave away, right? "
Gu Nianzhi raised a brow and smiled. "Huh? You want to discuss the ownership of an item with a lawyer? Fine, then I'll tell you. First of all, this was given to me by my father. I have the receipt and the inscription as proof. Gu Yanran has no right to dispose of anything that doesn't belong to her. In other words, she has no right to take something that belongs to me and give it away. Now that she's taking something that doesn't belong to her, that's called stealing. Giving it to you is called selling stolen goods. May I ask, is the dignified Office of the Prime Minister really going to help a thief sell stolen goods? "
Gu Nianzhi paused and hugged the pink diamond crown tightly. She then said, "As for the exchange of benefits between you, ask her for it. Don't ask me for my things. I have nothing to do with you. Mr. Prime Minister, can you be a little more shameless? "
Prime Minister Tan's face turned green with anger at her words. His gentle face actually had a hint of malevolence.
The Prime Minister's chief secretary immediately flushed red, but the Prime Minister didn't say anything, so he braced himself to continue asking.
Using his hand to push the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, the chief secretary only said one thing over and over again. "This was given to our Miss by Gu Yanran. You have no right to take it away."
Gu Nianzhi finally couldn't help but roll her eyes. "If you keep acting like this, I'm going to court to sue the Office of the Prime Minister for forcible theft. Sir, are you going to have your Prime Minister go to court when your First Lady's lawsuit hasn't been settled yet? "
When Tan Guiren heard this, she quickly said, "Forget it, forget it. Since this crown is Miss Gu Nianzhi's, just return it to her. I don't want it anymore." As she spoke, she snuggled up to Prime Minister Tan's side and hooked her arm. "Daddy, I know you're doing this for me, but I don't want you to get into trouble because of this."
Prime Minister Tan's face darkened as he looked at Gu Nianzhi darkly. His voice was flat as he said, "Fine, I won't argue with you for my daughter's sake. I'm not interested in who this thing actually belongs to. It's just that you can be so merciless to your sister. I feel bitterly disappointed for your sister. "
When Gu Yanran heard Prime Minister Tan speak up for her publicly, color returned to her face.
She looked up, and a flash of resentment flashed across her eyes. However, when she saw Gu Nianzhi, she had already recovered her usual gentleness and charm.
She sighed softly and said with pity, "Nianzhi, Sister forgives you. I know that you were kidnapped by perverts in Germany and put under house arrest for half a month. You suffered a lot … That's why you became so extreme … "
"What?! She was kidnapped by perverts and put under house arrest?! "
"I don't believe it … These two sisters are obviously fighting. Also, Gu Yanran has already been proven to be lying. How can her words still be trusted?"
Everyone whispered among themselves. Surprisingly, only a few people believed it, and the majority of people didn't believe it.
When Ma Qiqi heard this, she was so angry that she wanted nothing more than to pounce on Gu Yanran and viciously scratch her to death!
Yin Shixiong quickly pulled her back and whispered, "It's not good to overreact to this. See how Nianzhi deals with it."
However, Yin Shixiong was actually also worried. He quietly pressed the button and followed Huo Shaoheng's plan to throw out tonight's "bombshell" in hopes of helping Gu Nianzhi get out of this predicament.
However, Gu Nianzhi didn't care at all. She slowly walked over, her eyes never leaving Gu Yanran's side. She approached step by step and stood in front of her. She said sarcastically, "What's wrong? You heard the word 'kidnapped' and immediately came up with a dirty story in your head? Gu Yanran, how can you be so dirty? Aren't you supposed to be a noble, spotless rich woman? What kind of nonsense are you thinking in your head? "
"It's not that I'm dirty, but everyone thinks that way …" Gu Yanran's voice was very soft, but her eyes were full of resentment as she looked at Gu Nianzhi.
"Everyone? Who's everyone? " Gu Nianzhi shrugged and didn't care about Gu Yanran's gaze at all. "Gu Yanran, you're so good at lying. I'm warning you, don't mess with me. If you mess with me again, I'll make sure you lose everything! "
Gu Yanran clutched her chest in pain, her face full of disbelief. "Nianzhi, Nianzhi, how good of a girl were you before? How did you become like this now … "
Gu Nianzhi had had enough of Gu Yanran, but what angered her the most was Gu Yanran mentioning what happened in Germany.
She immediately realized that Gu Yanran probably didn't just kick her when she was down. She was very likely involved in the whole thing!
Otherwise, how would she know that her disappearance had something to do with a certain "pervert"?!
Gu Nianzhi thought about how Gu Yanran had not only taken over her family's assets and occupied her home, but had also schemed to kill her. The last bit of kindness Gu Nianzhi had for Gu Yanran disappeared.
She stood in front of Gu Yanran and looked down at her. She said calmly, "If that's the case, let's make things clear in front of everyone. You've always said that you love me like your own sister, but all the rumors that tarnished my reputation came from you. I didn't hold it against you because of our sisterhood, but now you're used to lying?! Do you think a lie will become the truth if it's repeated a thousand times? Do you think I'll swallow my anger forever?! Let me tell you, you've miscalculated!
Aren't you just worried that I'll go back to the Gu family and split the assets?! I really didn't want it, but now you're throwing dirt at me. If I don't fight for it, wouldn't I be giving you a reason to spread rumors and create trouble?!
I'm officially telling you, Gu Yanran, that I'll go to court on Monday and request to split the assets equally with you! If I say it'll be split equally, then it'll be split equally. One less deposit, one less property, one less patent, one less stock — none of that is called splitting equally!
Also, splitting the assets equally will start from the year my parents got into the accident. You don't know how to count, so I'll give you a simple explanation. All the expenses, failed investments, and favors you've given me all these years, I'll take half of it. That's what you owe me. Gu Yanran, wash your neck and wait for me to skin you! Let's see how much you have left in the end! Will selling your body be enough to return my family's assets?! "
