Ye Xuan glanced up at her, and a hint of mockery finally appeared on his lips. "She'll reveal how much Uncle Gu has in court? Are you serious? "
Gu Nianzhi finally frowned at Ye Xuan. "Ye Xuan, how can you say that about Gu Yanran? She's your sugar daddy. It's not right to be like this … "
Ye Xuan had grown up and received education abroad, so he wasn't very proficient in Mandarin. He only knew how to speak and write.
Gu Nianzhi was full of internet slang, so Ye Xuan didn't understand. "What sugar daddy? Like? Can you say it in English again? "
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
She raised her chin arrogantly. "Sorry, my English isn't good. I can only speak Mandarin."
Ye Xuan chuckled. "Yeah, even if your English isn't good, you can still use English to fight a lawsuit in Germany. Gu Nianzhi, you're indeed a bit like Gu Yanran said. You lie as soon as you open your mouth."
Gu Nianzhi hated hearing people say good things about Gu Yanran, especially when it involved insulting her. She hated hearing it even more.
She turned to leave without another word.
This time, she walked so quickly and was on guard against Ye Xuan grabbing her arm. By the time Ye Xuan regained his senses, Gu Nianzhi was already a few steps away.
He practically jogged to catch up to her and said, "Gu Nianzhi, Gu Nianzhi, don't be so angry … Listen to me, I really have something to say to you!"
Gu Nianzhi said impatiently, "You've already been blabbering for a long time. Also, I'm a liar. What do you have to say to someone like me? Hurry up and go back to your master. Don't piss me off or I'll call the police to arrest you. "
Ye Xuan was tall and had long legs. Coupled with his jogging, he finally caught up to Gu Nianzhi and stopped her. He said somewhat awkwardly, "Gu Nianzhi, let's talk. Let's go to your school's Starbucks, okay?"
Gu Nianzhi squinted at him. "Ye Xuan, do you really have something to talk to me about? You're not here to plead for Gu Yanran? "
"I've never even spoken to you before. How can I plead for Gu Yanran?" Ye Xuan's frown deepened. "Don't misunderstand me."
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
"You know what you've done. It's hard not to misunderstand." To be honest, Gu Nianzhi was also quite curious about Ye Xuan's intentions for coming. Otherwise, she wouldn't have dealt with him for so long.
Furthermore, she could sense that Ye Xuan's attitude was indeed very different from before.
Ye Xuan, who used to be by Gu Yanran's side, saw Gu Nianzhi as a stranger. He would only listen to Gu Yanran.
But now, when he looked at Gu Nianzhi, there was a hint of warmth in his eyes. He wasn't as cold and impatient as before.
Furthermore, Ye Xuan was one of Gu Yanran's confidants. If she could get some information from him, it would be helpful for her to prepare for the lawsuit.
Gu Nianzhi followed Ye Xuan to the Starbucks near the dorm building.
It was afternoon, and there were very few people in Starbucks. A few employees sat together and gossiped, covering their mouths and laughing.
Raising his head, he saw a man and a woman walking in. A female shop assistant immediately walked over and asked politely, "May I know what you would like to order?"
Gu Nianzhi had just had a cappuccino at He Zhichu's place, so she didn't really want coffee.
But since they were here to talk, they had to order something to eat and drink.
Gu Nianzhi said, "I'll have a hazelnut cake, the kind without sugar."
Ye Xuan ordered a Colombian black coffee.
The coffee and cake were quickly served.
The two of them sat by the window. There was no one around, so it was the perfect place to talk.
Ye Xuan stirred his coffee with a small spoon and looked down. "Gu Nianzhi, you really don't remember me?"
Gu Nianzhi looked up and rolled her eyes. "Ye Xuan, when do you mean? If it was a while ago, yes, I remember you. You were always by Gu Yanran's side. "
"Not a while ago, but many years ago …" Ye Xuan looked up at her, but he couldn't see any trace of the blurry image in his memory from her face.
He used to think that the blurry image was Gu Yanran's appearance, but now he could only say that it was his wishful thinking.
But was this Gu Nianzhi that little girl from back then?
"Many years ago?" Gu Nianzhi frowned. "How long is that?"
"… For example, more than ten years ago?" Ye Xuan asked tentatively. "Can you swim?"
"Yes, my swimming skills are pretty good." Gu Nianzhi remembered how she had entered and exited the blue hole several times to save Huo Shaoheng and Zhao Liangze. She smiled. "I can also save people from the sea. Do you think I can swim?"
"Oh?! You remember! "Ye Xuan's gloomy face lit up." Eleven years ago, you saved me in the sea! "
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
Brother, aren't you overthinking it?
Eleven years ago? She was only eight years old!
Of course, Gu Nianzhi didn't remember what happened when she was eight, but she looked at Ye Xuan and asked, "How old are you?"
"Oh? What do you mean? "Ye Xuan didn't understand such genteel words at all.
"I mean how old you are. I was only eight years old 11 years ago. How could I have saved a grown man like you? " Gu Nianzhi impatiently propped her chin on her hand and looked out the window. "Spit it out if you have something to say. I'm really busy and have classes in the afternoon."
"I'm only three years older than you. I'm 22 years old this year. Eleven years ago, I … accidentally fell into the sea and was saved by you." Ye Xuan spoke carefully, but when he looked at Gu Nianzhi, he really couldn't see any similarities between her and the chubby little girl from back then.
Gu Yanran's eyes even looked quite similar to that little girl's.
And Gu Nianzhi's eyes were too big. Although they were beautiful … it was hard to imagine that the little girl with thin eyebrows and eyes would have such big eyes.
Gu Nianzhi couldn't listen anymore and threw away the spoon she used to eat the cake. She crossed her arms and said coldly, "What do you mean? Even if I saved you 11 years ago, so what? What are you trying to say? "
Ye Xuan was lost in his memories. He looked at the black coffee in front of him and murmured, "You saved me, but you became seriously ill yourself. Uncle Gu didn't let me see you. He said you were sick and would contact me when you recovered. Later, I was sent to boarding school in the United States and never saw you again. "
At that time, Uncle Gu didn't even tell him who had saved him and only said it was his daughter.
Ye Xuan didn't know his daughter's name and certainly didn't know her age.
Thinking about it now, it was quite strange.
Ye Xuan shook his head and threw the thought to the back of his mind. He sank into his memories.
At that time, he woke up from his coma and found himself in a hospital.
A handsome man wearing a white coat told him that it was his daughter who had saved him, but because she had saved him, she had become ill and might have sequelae in the future. He asked if he was willing to stay with her for the rest of his life and take care of her.
Ye Xuan was an honest person.
When he learned that the man's daughter had become ill because she had saved him and might have sequelae, his heart tightened and he agreed to the man's request without hesitation.
The man's attitude toward him was much gentler. He even patted his head and said, "I was just testing you. Uncle Gu was very happy that you agreed to this request, but I don't need you to take care of my daughter. I just want you to help her when she needs help in the future. "
Ye Xuan insisted at the time, "Our director taught us to be honest and to do what we say. Since I promised Uncle Gu, I will definitely do it. "
"You're still too young." The handsome man wearing the white coat rubbed his head emotionally. "You have no idea what such a promise means, but as long as you're happy."
The man didn't think Ye Xuan would keep this harsh promise at all.
But he kept it in his heart.
Soon, he was sent to boarding school in the United States by the man with the surname Gu. He majored in computer technology and minored in finance and accounting.
Other than Uncle Gu and Gu Yanran, no one knew that he was not only a genius in computer technology but also a good financial manager.
Gu Nianzhi finally heard it.
The handsome man in the white coat was her father, Gu Xiangwen, right?
Gu Nianzhi's tears welled up again. She tried her best to suppress her emotions and secretly turned on the record button on her phone to start recording.
