This news was too shocking for Gu Nianzhi.
Although she thought Gu Yanran was stupid and was no match for her, knowing that Gu Yanran didn't go to university and only attended an English butler school for three years still exceeded her expectations.
"How can this be? Although her IQ isn't high, it shouldn't be so bad that she can't even get into university, right? "Gu Nianzhi twisted her fingers in confusion, her snow-white teeth biting her lower lip in disbelief.
Also, Gu Yanran wasn't in the Hua Xia Empire. She was overseas.
Exams weren't the only way for overseas students to get into a good university.
The independent admissions of the famous Ivy League Universities all looked at family background first.
It didn't matter if the results weren't good, as long as they met the minimum passing score.
Students from rich families and parents with power and authority would definitely be prioritized, followed by ordinary students with average family backgrounds but innate intelligence and high test scores.
Of course, if a student's family didn't have money or power and didn't work hard for exams, then they would have no chance of getting into a good university.
But for Gu Yanran, her father was Gu Xiangwen. Just this name alone was enough for her to choose from all the famous universities in Europe and the United States.
What was wrong with her to insist on attending a butler school?
Even if it was an English butler school, it wasn't something someone of her status needed to attend.
"This is a bit complicated." Huo Shaoheng propped his head on his hand and tapped his fingers on the steering wheel. He looked ahead and said, "Do you still have classes in the afternoon?"
"No. Today's class is in the morning, and I've already asked for leave. " Gu Nianzhi was still thinking about Gu Yanran. She looked at Huo Shaoheng eagerly, wanting to hear more clues from him that could be of great help to her lawsuit.
"Yeah, I'll find a quiet place to research later." Huo Shaoheng looked at her and smiled. "What do you want to eat tonight?"
Gu Nianzhi frowned. "I'll eat at school tonight."
She sighed and no longer thought about why Gu Yanran went to the butler school. Instead, she asked Huo Shaoheng, "What did you say to President Zhan? Gu Yanran and I can't possibly get such high treatment for this case, right? "
Even if Huo Shaoheng appeared, he could only file the case.
And the way the people in the court handled the case was completely beyond the scope of an estate dispute case.
Huo Shaoheng averted his gaze and looked out the window for a while before saying, "Gu Yanran's case may involve national security interests. Just in case, the court sent the most stringent team to collect evidence for this case."
"National security interests? Really? "Gu Nianzhi was a little unsure." It's just a fight over property? "
"Many of Gu Xiangwen's assets are patents." Huo Shaoheng stopped there and did not elaborate further.
Gu Nianzhi finally understood. The engine blueprint in her backpack seemed to belong to Gu Xiangwen, right?
…
Gu Yanran looked at the people in court uniforms in front of her and felt extremely distressed.
When she was in Barbados, she was even a guest of honor in the Governor's Office. Everyone treated her with respect. Who dared to treat her like this?
Her first reaction was to call Ye Xuan.
However, Ye Xuan still didn't pick up her calls. She had no choice but to call her lawyer.
Her official lawyer should have been Wen Shouyi, but ever since she returned to her hometown, she had also resigned from her job at the largest law firm in the United States.
However, although Wen Shouyi wasn't with the law firm, Gu Yanran was still a client of the law firm.
She also knew that He Zhichu was one of the bosses of the law firm and was considered her lawyer in the past. Of course, he had a higher status than Wen Shouyi.
Although He Zhichu had always been harsh with her, she had no choice but to ask the law firm for help now that she was in big trouble.
However, looking at her watch, it was midnight in the United States. She wouldn't be able to find him at this time.
She made a prompt decision and left a message with the law firm in English. Then she called He Zhichu.
He Zhichu saw Gu Yanran's number on his phone and felt slightly embarrassed. However, he still swiped his phone to answer and asked, "Gu Yanran??
Gu Yanran looked like she had seen her savior and was on the verge of tears. "Lawyer He, can you come over for a moment? I've been sued, and they want to send me a subpoena. I'm not allowed to leave the country! "
"Someone sued you? Sued by who? "He Zhichu tapped his fingers lightly on the desk. His expression was cold, and his calm voice was emotionless.
Gu Yanran choked. She had been sued by Gu Nianzhi, but could she say that to He Zhichu?
Facing He Zhichu, Gu Yanran always felt strangely uncomfortable.
He Zhichu waited for a while and was about to hang up when Gu Yanran didn't say anything.
Gu Yanran finally said in a panic, "… It's, it's my sister Nianzhi. You also know that she doesn't remember the past, so …"
"Haha, now you know it's your sister? I warned you long ago not to have any ideas about Nianzhi. Did you think I was joking? Gu Yanran, let me tell you, this is just the beginning. You should have been mentally prepared for this the moment you decided to expose the news that Gu Nianzhi is an adopted daughter. "He Zhichu hung up after speaking.
Gu Yanran's heart sank. Her lips trembled, and her eyes flickered.
What did He Zhichu mean by that?
Did he know something?
That was impossible …
Anyone who knew even the slightest bit of information about Gu Nianzhi's identity was no longer in this world.
Gu Yanran composed herself and decisively decided to contact the largest law firm in the Imperial Capital, JD Law Firm. She called and asked Lawyer Jin Wanyi to be her lawyer representative.
Jin Wanyi was a lawyer she was familiar with. They had cooperated tacitly a while ago to set up Prime Minister Tan's wife, Cai Songyin, so Gu Yanran knew her skills quite well.
Although she couldn't compare to He Zhichu, she was very capable. Most importantly, she was trustworthy and wouldn't set her up.
Jin Wanyi received the arrangements from the station and heard that it was an old acquaintance of Gu Yanran's. Without another word, she grabbed her briefcase and got into her new BMW X5. She drove to Gu Yanran's apartment in the Third Ring Road of the Imperial Capital.
…
Fifteen minutes later, Jin Wanyi arrived at the underground parking lot of Gu Yanran's apartment on the Third Ring Road.
She parked her car and found Gu Yanran's location. She discovered that she was surrounded by a group of men in court uniforms. They were even carrying cameras.
"Stop! What are you doing?! I'm warning you. Knowingly breaking the law will increase your punishment! "Jin Wanyi yelled loudly as she walked over.
Her high heels clicked on the concrete floor as she walked to Gu Yanran.
Gu Yanran saw Jin Wanyi and rushed over like she had seen her savior. "Lawyer Jin! They won't let me leave and want me to hand in my passport! "
Jin Wanyi shook her hand. "Miss Gu, please calm down."
She turned to the group of men in court uniforms. "Where are your documents? I want to confirm your identities. "
The leader of the men took out his work ID and handed the subpoena to Jin Wanyi. "Hello, since you are Miss Gu Yanran's lawyer, please accept this subpoena on her behalf. Someone is suing Miss Gu Yanran for illegally embezzling the Gu family's assets. They want to sue her and take back the assets that belong to them. "
Jin Wanyi raised her eyebrows and said with disdain, "As far as I know, Gu Xiangwen is still alive. Who has the right to sue for the family assets?"
"The plaintiff, Gu Nianzhi, stated very clearly in the lawsuit that Gu Xiangwen became a vegetable after the plane crash. It has been seven years since the middle of this year. This means that he is no longer legally responsible for his actions and cannot be the subject of the law. Therefore, the plaintiff has the right to ask for an equal division of the family assets. "
"If she says it's equal, then it's equal? What about the will? Did she forget about the will? "Jin Wanyi exploded as soon as she heard Gu Nianzhi's name. She was aggressive and obviously more professional than Gu Yanran.
However, Gu Yanran's eyebrows twitched uncomfortably when she heard the word "will." She tugged on Jin Wanyi's shirt and interrupted her. "Lawyer Jin, when can I leave?"
Jin Wanyi turned to look at her and said confidently, "Don't rush. I'll let you go right away."
Gu Yanran smiled in relief and played with the phone in her hand to send another text to Ye Xuan.
Jin Wanyi was imposing as she said to the court staff, "I'm sorry, everyone. My client is a citizen of Barbados, and the Gu family's assets are also in Barbados. If Gu Nianzhi wants to sue Gu Yanran for a division of the family assets, tell her to file a complaint in the Barbados court. Which court are you from? How much money do you need to accept a lawsuit without jurisdiction? "
Gu Nianzhi sat in Huo Shaoheng's car and heard Jin Wanyi's words clearly. She was furious.
How could you accept a lawsuit from a despicable person like Gu Yanran?! You're the one who needs money! Your whole family needs money!
This woman had been defeated by her every single time, but she still didn't know how to repent.
She truly felt that she should make Gu Nianzhi suffer from a phobia from now on. She should make Gu Nianzhi want to kneel whenever she saw Gu Nianzhi …
Gu Nianzhi's brain heated up and she opened the car door to personally confront Jin Wanyi.
Huo Shaoheng reacted quickly and hugged her from behind. He dragged her back to sit on his lap and wrapped his strong arm around her waist. Gu Nianzhi couldn't move for a moment.
"What are you doing? Let me down. "Gu Nianzhi punched Huo Shaoheng a few times.
"You don't need to go yourself. If the people in the court don't even have this bit of ability, how can you fight this lawsuit?" Huo Shaoheng whispered in her ear. He was so close that the heat from his breath burned her neck.
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help shrinking her neck.
"Fine, I won't get down, but can you let go of me?" Gu Nianzhi began to forcefully pry at Huo Shaoheng's arm to get him to let go.
Although his embrace was warm, Gu Nianzhi didn't want to let go again.
Huo Shaoheng didn't have any intention of letting go. He looked down. "Did my hugging you make you moved? Hmm? "
"Of course not." Gu Nianzhi frowned. "You're thinking too much."
"If not, then what does it matter if I let go or not? Okay, continue watching the show. Don't worry about me. "
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
