Gu Nianzhi froze when she saw Gu Yanran sitting at a table near the window in the lobby. She was actually quite impressed by this person.
The naked short film had just been removed from the internet, and she could actually come out to socialize like nothing had happened. Her mental fortitude was truly amazing.
Gu Nianzhi, who was especially good at learning, immediately felt that she should learn from Gu Yanran's mental fortitude. She should not be happy with material gains, not be sad about personal losses, not be evil, not be good …
Uh, something seemed wrong with the last two sentences?
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but laugh. She did it on purpose …
Her plump, curvy lips curved into a happy smile, and her pretty face lit up with a very infectious smile.
Gu Yanran was talking to Jin Wanyi with a very gentle smile on her lips. She noticed someone was looking at her from the corner of her eye, and her demeanor became even more dignified.
As she spoke, she quickly glanced over.
When he looked over, he was stunned as well.
Her face instantly fell, and tears quickly welled up in her eyes, but she forced them back down.
"What's wrong? Yanran? " Jin Wanyi followed her gaze and saw Gu Nianzhi, Yin Shixiong, and a tall, beautiful young woman eating together.
What was the girl's name again? I think she was called Qiqi … Ma Qiqi?
Gu Nianzhi noticed they were looking at her and waved at them nonchalantly. She smiled and greeted them.
Yin Shixiong and Ma Qiqi also looked over.
Jin Wanyi quickly looked away awkwardly and lowered her head to take a sip of mango juice to hide it.
Gu Yanran's heart skipped a beat. She stood up with a wooden expression and trembled. "I'm going to ask her how she can still smile?!" As she spoke, she grabbed her Chanel handbag and walked to Gu Nianzhi's table.
Jin Wanyi quickly chased after her. "Yanran, what are you doing?"
"Lawyer Jin, please let go of me. I have something to ask her!" Gu Yanran broke free from Jin Wanyi's hand and turned to Gu Nianzhi. Her eyes were red as she choked out, "Gu Nianzhi, how can you still smile? Ye Xuan went to the United States to commit murder and arson because of you, and you're still here enjoying the good life. Can you face your own conscience?! My father adopted you so that you could rob him of his property by any means necessary? Bully his own daughter?! "
Yin Shixiong was overjoyed when he heard this.
He had just been racking his brains to think of a way to discreetly "leak" Ye Xuan's crimes in the United States to Gu Nianzhi. He could tell the truth without breaking any rules.
But now, Gu Yanran had "stepped forward" to "solve his problems."
He wouldn't break the rules, and Gu Nianzhi also knew about it. What a happy ending!
He had to give Gu Yanran a "like"!
Although this was what Yin Shixiong was thinking, his face showed a serious expression.
He calmly stood up from behind the dining table and said in a low voice, "Lawyer Jin, what's going on? You are a lawyer and Miss Gu's representative. How could you allow her to slander others in public? Aren't you afraid of bringing new lawsuits to Miss Gu? "
Gu Yanran raised her finely drawn eyebrows in surprise. She looked at Yin Shixiong, then at Gu Nianzhi. "What's wrong? Don't you know? " Then she stared at Gu Nianzhi and sneered. "It's fine if they don't know, but you're pretending not to know as well. Isn't that too fake?"
Gu Nianzhi didn't take Gu Yanran seriously at all. She sat motionlessly in her seat and smiled dryly. "What do I know? Miss Gu suddenly rushed over to accuse me. Did you forget to take your medicine when you left home today? Miss Gu controls so much of the Gu family's wealth, but you can't even afford a doctor? Don't worry. Although I want to settle the score with you, I won't leave you with no money for the treatment. "
"You're saying I'm sick?!" Gu Yanran pointed at her own nose. "Gu Nianzhi, keep pretending, keep pretending! Ye Xuan was arrested in the United States, but you're not sad at all. A woman like you has a heart of stone and a heart of a wolf! "
Splash!
Gu Nianzhi grabbed the glass of water on the table and splashed it at Gu Yanran's face.
"I ignored you, but you're taking advantage of me." Gu Nianzhi's expression darkened. "Apologize. Apologize now, or I'll really sue you. I mean what I say. "
Gu Nianzhi looked sharply at Jin Wanyi. "Lawyer Jin, you know I'm not joking."
Jin Wanyi hesitated for a second, but her face quickly filled with smiles. She said to Gu Nianzhi, "Second Miss Gu, it was Miss Gu's fault today. I apologize on her behalf …"
"No, I have to make her apologize to me personally." Gu Nianzhi didn't let it go. She raised her chin slightly and gestured towards Gu Yanran. "Making her apologize is already letting her off easy. Lawyer Jin, don't push your luck."
Jin Wanyi's face flushed from Gu Nianzhi's words in front of Yin Shixiong. She didn't know how to back down.
However, her self-discipline as a lawyer prevented her from saying anything worse. She could only hold it in and bite her lower lip until it bled.
Yin Shixiong didn't even look at her and continued to tease Gu Yanran. "Huh? What did you say? Why are you cursing someone for committing murder and arson? Miss Gu, if I remember correctly, Ye Xuan is your … uh, best male friend, right? "
Yin Shixiong hummed for a long time and used the word "best male friend." Ma Qiqi snorted and laughed so hard her shoulders shook.
Gu Nianzhi also found it funny and nodded. "Brother Xiong is right. Miss Gu, aren't you afraid of retribution for cursing your own little wolf dog like this? "
She knew that Ye Xuan had gone to the United States to look for Gu Xiangwen's lawyer. She also knew that Huo Shaoheng had sent Special Operations Forces field personnel to keep an eye on Ye Xuan. Therefore, she was very relieved and didn't believe Gu Yanran's words at all. She only thought that Gu Yanran was exaggerating again to purposely distract her.
Gu Yanran saw that these people didn't believe her and snorted. She took out her phone and found the video of the United States news. She passed it to Gu Nianzhi. "See for yourself. Don't say I didn't warn you. Ye Xuan went to the United States for you. Now that he has committed a crime like this, even if it's not the death penalty, he will be in prison for the rest of his life. Can your conscience really rest in peace? "
Gu Nianzhi glanced at the video on Gu Yanran's phone and had a thought. It didn't look fake …
Yin Shixiong also came over to take a look and said loudly, "Who knows if this is real or not! Nianzhi, search for it yourself! "
Gu Nianzhi snapped back to reality and took out her phone to search for the news that Gu Yanran had mentioned.
When a series of news reports and videos appeared on her phone, her heart sank.
Gu Yanran was actually telling the truth?!
Gu Yanran saw that Gu Nianzhi was looking down at her phone and didn't speak anymore. She finally put away her phone and said loudly, "See, I wasn't wrong, right? Ye Xuan is willing to sacrifice his life for you. He can even do something so illegal, yet you're still trying to slander me and say that he's my little wolf dog? Aren't you afraid of retribution? "
Gu Yanran returned Gu Nianzhi's words. Her heart felt like she was eating ice cream during the hottest days of summer.
She had been losing ground to Gu Nianzhi recently and was very sullen.
Fortunately, that person was smart and powerful. He helped her recover the situation as soon as he made a move.
Everyone said that Gu Nianzhi was smart, but in Gu Yanran's eyes, she couldn't even compare to one of that person's fingers.
Gu Nianzhi quickly finished reading all the news and videos and turned off her phone. She looked up calmly at Gu Yanran and said, "Miss Gu, do you think I don't understand English? The news only said that a certain man with the surname Ye was the suspect. How could you directly convict him? The court hasn't even tried it yet. Also, the news only said that the surname was' Ye. 'How did you know it was Ye Xuan? Could this matter have something to do with you, so you knew it was him the moment you saw the news? "
The muscles on Gu Yanran's face twitched instinctively.
She never thought that Gu Nianzhi would be able to see so many twists and turns just by watching a piece of news …
At this moment, she decided not to act on her own.
That person told her not to say anything in front of Gu Nianzhi to prevent her from using it against her. However, she thought that today was the perfect opportunity to build momentum and use it as evidence in court tomorrow.
She didn't think that the more she said, the more mistakes she would make …
Gu Yanran looked down at the table to hide the hint of panic in her eyes. She remained silent.
Jin Wanyi finally said, "… When Ye Xuan went to the United States, he had a huge argument with Miss Gu. He asked for the lawyer's address and said he wanted to help Miss Gu … Miss Gu saw the address on the news, and the person who got into trouble was Mr. Gu's lawyer. The suspect's surname was Ye, so it wasn't a big deal for her to make such a logical deduction, right? Miss Gu is also a lawyer. Are you going to question such a logical deduction? "
Gu Nianzhi glanced at Jin Wanyi and smiled. "I was just asking. Lawyer Jin and Miss Gu don't have to be anxious. Alright, we're going to eat. If there's nothing else, please give us some peace. "
Seeing that Gu Nianzhi already knew about the news, Yin Shixiong secretly sighed in relief. He didn't want to eat there anymore, so he waved for the head waiter to come over. "Is there a private room?"
The head waiter was a bit troubled. "A private room … requires a special reservation."
Tan's Cuisine had very few private rooms. Not only did it require a special reservation, but it also required someone with a certain status to make the reservation.
Yin Shixiong quickly used Huo Shaoheng's card. "Huo Shao asked us to make a reservation. Can you do us a favor?"
The head waiter quickly said, "Please wait a moment. I'll go ask the manager."
After the head waiter left, Jin Wanyi glanced at Yin Shixiong and wanted to say something to him. However, Yin Shixiong picked up the menu on the table and approached Ma Qiqi. "Qiqi, what do you want to eat?"
He was so intimate and didn't try to avoid suspicion. Jin Wanyi felt a lump in her throat. She couldn't get it up or down. She almost vomited.
She looked at Yin Shixiong. It wasn't like she wanted to catch up with him. Did he have to treat her like this?
Jin Wanyi's expression darkened. She turned to Gu Yanran. "Miss Gu, I'm already full. Are you full?"
Gu Yanran didn't want to eat in the same restaurant as Gu Nianzhi. She had already achieved her goal, so she nodded at Jin Wanyi. "I'm also full. Let's go."
The two of them didn't even say goodbye and turned to leave.
However, Gu Nianzhi's mind was completely focused on the news about Ye Xuan. She was still thinking about it when she walked into the private room.
Her brows furrowed even tighter. She vaguely felt that this matter wasn't that simple.
