You had so many people supporting you during a lawsuit saying, "Don't be afraid, we're here to support you …"
Gu Nianzhi would probably never be able to let go of that feeling.
Her eyes were a bit moist as she nodded vigorously. "I know. Thank you, Brother Xiong, Brother Ze, and Huo Shao. I'll work hard!"
Gu Nianzhi got out of the car with the documents and returned to the dormitory to see Ma Qiqi enjoying a bowl of vanilla raspberry ice cream. She couldn't help clicking her tongue. "You're eating ice cream in the middle of winter?"
"Ice cream tastes good in the middle of winter." Ma Qiqi squinted her eyes as she ate and almost made a sound. She was as satisfied as a cat eating fish.
She stirred the ice cream in the bowl to mix the raspberry and ice cream. She scooped another spoonful into her mouth, her face full of joy.
Gu Nianzhi was so attracted to her that she wanted to take a bite.
She closed the door and felt the hot air on her face. Only then did she understand why Ma Qiqi said "ice cream tastes good in the middle of winter." So there was a heater in the dormitory.
Gu Nianzhi took off her Burberry cow-horn coat and hung it on the hanger by the door. She advised Ma Qiqi, "Eat less. You'll get sick if you're hot on the outside and cold on the inside."
"I know, I know." Ma Qiqi smiled as she finished the rest of the ice cream. "Look, I'm done. Ok, I have to go study for the exam too. "
The two returned to their respective rooms to prepare for their homework.
Other than going to class and writing her graduation thesis, Gu Nianzhi also had to prepare for the fourth trial.
Xie Dezhao and Xie Qingying were the witnesses Huo Shaoheng had helped her contact. They were still overseas when they agreed, so Gu Nianzhi had only spoken to them once over the phone.
She wanted to discuss the specifics after they returned to the Empire.
She hadn't expected someone to target them already …
If Huo Shao hadn't been reliable, they might have suffered the same fate as Ye Xuan.
Gu Nianzhi sighed and focused on preparing.
…
The time for the fourth trial was quickly determined. It was on Friday of the following week.
Gu Nianzhi met with Xie Dezhao and Xie Qingying under Yin Shixiong's arrangements. They talked for a few hours but didn't get much information.
Xie Dezhao had a falling out with Gu Xiangwen more than 20 years ago because of his ex-wife.
After so many years of not interacting with each other, the things he knew were also very limited.
Needless to say, Xie Qingying had never seen Gu Xiangwen for as long as she could remember. She had only received many gifts from Gu Xiangwen.
But because Xie Dezhao held a deep grudge against Gu Xiangwen, Xie Qingying didn't really like Gu Xiangwen's gift.
Gu Nianzhi was very regretful. She had made an appointment with Xie Qingying to go to Xie Qingying's house in France to see the gifts Gu Xiangwen had given her all those years ago after the lawsuit was over.
…
He Zhichu had been very quiet and calm these days. He had been observing Gu Nianzhi's estate dispute from the sidelines.
If Gu Nianzhi had wanted to discuss legal issues with him, he would have told her everything he knew. However, he had never taken the initiative to discuss other topics related to it.
Gu Nianzhi sensed that he wasn't particularly enthusiastic about the case, so she was careful not to disturb him too much.
After class that day, He Zhichu walked out of the lecture hall with a tired expression on his face.
Gu Nianzhi was his teaching assistant, and this class was a public elective for undergraduates.
He Zhichu had accepted an invitation from B University to teach the basic theory of the Introduction to Law.
Such boring content, but He Zhichu's narration was so interesting that everyone was intoxicated by it.
Every week, the seats for He Zhichu's class were in high demand. Some business-minded students even came to reserve seats in advance and sell them at a high price.
There were many rich and beautiful girls who liked He Zhichu's class, so there was no need to worry about the seats not being sold.
Gu Nianzhi didn't walk far with He Zhichu before she was surrounded by a group of beautiful rich and beautiful female university students.
"Professor He, I have some questions I don't understand. Can I ask you at your place tonight?"
The leading female university student was as beautiful as a flower. She wore a milky white slim-fit cashmere coat and knee-high boots. Her large, wavy hair fell over her shoulders, and she looked extremely flirtatious.
Gu Nianzhi looked at the sky. It was only ten in the morning. Why couldn't the young lady ask her questions during the day? Why did she have to knock on the professor's door at night?!
When He Zhichu walked off the podium, he was no longer the gentle university professor. Instead, he was a cold and aloof flower on a high mountain.
He always chose to ignore these students who obviously didn't want to ask questions.
He Zhichu walked forward without blinking, leaving the female university students who had just surrounded him. It was a very awkward situation.
Gu Nianzhi, however, felt relieved and fearlessly stepped forward to fan the flames. "I'm Professor He's teaching assistant. If you ladies have any questions, you can email me. I'll ask Professor He for an answer and forward it to you."
"Forget it. Who cares about second-hand answers?" The leading female university student didn't even bat an eye. She completely ignored Gu Nianzhi and said to her friends, "Let's go."
The group of people hurriedly walked in the opposite direction of Gu Nianzhi and He Zhichu.
Gu Nianzhi sighed and jogged to He Zhichu's side. "Professor He, actually, you can just tactfully reject them. It's very offensive to stay silent like this."
He Zhichu glanced at her. "I'm afraid of offending people?"
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
Of course he wasn't afraid, but these people had the professor's scores!
Although student scores didn't account for much, the school would still dissuade the professor if it was too low …
Gu Nianzhi thought about it and tried to persuade He Zhichu in the same way.
He Zhichu was originally in a bad mood, but now he was amused by her. He smiled and said, "I need them to decide whether I should stay or leave? Yes, it's not wrong for you to look down on me like that. "
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
She rubbed her forehead and said without a change in expression, "I've been staying up all night and haven't slept. I was sleep talking just now. Professor He, you don't have to pay attention to me."
He Zhichu smiled. "You're really getting better and better at treating people differently. Did I ever teach you to speak like a human being and speak like a ghost? "
Gu Nianzhi put her arms down in shock. "Yes, didn't Professor He always teach us like that?"
He Zhichu was speechless.
Wasn't this called teaching a student, but the student used his words to attack him?
What was that saying again in Chinese?
Using a child's spear to attack a child's shield?
He Zhichu rubbed his temples. "How's your lawsuit going? Why did it take so long? "
Gu Nianzhi whispered, "The Gu family's assets are more than I expected. It took a lot of time just to collect the evidence and get the foreign proof …"
"It's just the Gu family's stuff. If I can get it back, I'll get it back. If I can't, it's okay." He Zhichu stared at Gu Nianzhi. "You've lost weight."
"It's good to lose weight! I can lose weight without running or dieting. Professor He is complimenting me. " Gu Nianzhi replied with a smile. "Also, the Gu family's stuff is mine, not Gu Yanran's. I must get it back. Professor He, didn't you support me getting it back? "
"I thought you didn't have to go through so much effort," He Zhichu muttered. He Zhichu muttered, "… I didn't expect so many people to covet a bone that was stained with flesh …"
Gu Nianzhi frowned. "The Gu family is a big fat piece of meat, okay? Why is it only a bone with flesh on it? Also, it's my father's stuff. I must get it back. "
He Zhichu was speechless.
"You just want to argue with me today?" He Zhichu stopped in his tracks and looked at her expressionlessly. "When is the fourth trial?"
"Tomorrow morning." Gu Nianzhi answered honestly. "I didn't mean to argue with Professor He. It's a professional habit of mine."
"To hell with your professional habit." He Zhichu curled his finger and gently tapped Gu Nianzhi's forehead. "When you're not in court, don't look like you're facing a formidable enemy. Truly good lawyers are able to handle things with ease. People can't see through them. "
Gu Nianzhi nodded. "Ok, Professor He. I'll try my best."
He Zhichu smiled and suddenly asked, "You care about Gu Xiangwen a lot?"
"He's my father! Of course I care! "Gu Nianzhi clenched her fists to show her determination.
"What about your mother? Why didn't I hear you care about your mother? "He Zhichu asked again.
Gu Nianzhi thought about it and walked around in a circle with her backpack. She walked backward on the path and blinked at He Zhichu. "I don't have feelings for my mother for now. But when I know more, maybe I'll love my mother more than my father."
He Zhichu was speechless.
When they parted at the crossroads, He Zhichu said, "I'll attend your trial tomorrow."
"Really?!" Gu Nianzhi was elated. "Then I must perform well tomorrow!"
…
It was Friday morning, and the B University campus was already bustling with activity.
This time, Gu Nianzhi took He Zhichu's car to the courthouse.
Yin Shixiong got out of the car with Ma Qiqi and greeted He Zhichu with a smile.
He Zhichu nodded at him and drove to the underground parking lot.
Yin Shixiong also got into his car to park.
Gu Nianzhi chatted with Ma Qiqi at the courthouse entrance and saw a luxurious RV drive over like a bus.
The limousine stopped in front of the courthouse. The door opened, and Gu Yanran appeared in a black and white checkered Chanel dress from the latest Autumn/Winter collection. It looked elegant in a still photo, but on Gu Yanran, it looked like she was wearing a geometrically patterned rug.
Gu Yanran wore a large pair of Prada floating-cloud sunglasses and walked into the courthouse with her bodyguards, housekeeper, and Jin Wanyi as if no one else was there.
Gu Nianzhi and Ma Qiqi looked at each other and laughed. They quietly teased Gu Yanran. "She's so dramatic. Who isn't a little princess?!"
They held hands and were about to turn to enter when they saw another luxurious car drive over.
This time, the car was not only luxurious but also classy. It was a bulletproof sedan with a red flag.
Gu Nianzhi glanced at the license plate to confirm it was a military license plate.
She stood at the door for a while.
The car door opened, and the first person to get out was Xie Qingying, who Gu Nianzhi had met a few times before.
The other car door opened, and her father, Xie Dezhao, got out.
