Huo Jialan staggered backwards, white as a sheet Gu Nianzhi had cut her like a sharp razor
Bai Jinyi shook her head in disapproval She said to Huo Guanchen, “Guanchen, we’ve waited for so long for Jinning to get better Are you going to stand idly by and let this opportunity slip away? We have to double down on our efforts to cure her now that her condition is i—who knohen our next opportunity will co the boat on this one…”
Huo Guanchen pursed his lips He glowered at Huo Shaoheng as he co? Take your s of outsiders”
He had used “outsiders,” in the plural, but it was obvious that he was referring to Gu Nianzhi specifically
The cogs inside Gu Nianzhi’s head were turning at full speed She was still trying to think of a way to convince Huo Guanchen when Huo Shaoheng cal on my behalf I want to take my mother to another doctor”
“Nonsense! I won’t allow it!” Huo Guanchen stepped in front of Huo Shaoheng, blocking his way
Seen from a distance, both father and son appeared to have been cut from the sa was taller, er
“You won’t allow it? On what grounds?” Huo Shaoheng put his hands in his pockets His posture was relaxed and leisurely, but the aura around him was just as fierce and indomitable as Huo Guanchen’s “You already divorced her You have no right to decide whether she stays or goes I, on the other hand, aeneral, coion I have complete authority to take her away, and I advise you not to mess with me”
Huo Guanchen’s hands trembled “Ho dare you?!”
“I had to listen to you, all these years You made my decisions for me, and I had to accept them—but that ends today From now on, I do what I want I don’t have to ask for per continued cale
He was happy to have a strong- toohad vaulted over hi hiround, underfoot Huo Guanchen did not like being stepped on by his son
Bai Jinyi hurriedly cut in “Cool it, the both of you!” She turned to Huo Shaoheng and said, “Shaoheng, don’t provoke your father, he has high blood pressure As for your mother, she’s extremely important to the military, because of her role in their experiment You kno sick she is, so don’t be rash—if you take her away, and sooodbye to your future prospects!”
Gu Nianzhi was quick to pick up on the underlying i to sabotage Huo Shaoheng’s “future prospects”
Gu Nianzhi was not about to let Bai Jinyi get aith it, of course
Gu Nianzhi was thinking rapidly This old hag clearly has too much ti to tell Huo Shaoheng and his father what to do Well, I’ll just have to find so to keep her busy…
Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes, and said icily to Bai Jinyi: “Physicist Bai, you should worry about yourself” She paused, and waited for everyone in the living roo slowly, in a clear voice, “I’ve decided to sue Bai Jinyi for practicing medicine without a license, her ravation of her patient’s condition I a her for intentional assault, attee of a member of the armed forces, which as you all know is a cri a summons from the court very soon, just you wait!”
She had deliberately chosen to exaggerate the criood scare Gu Nianzhi knew the heavy-handed approach was necessary; the physicist probably thought of herself as the next Einstein, soet aith anything
Bai Jinyi did not take Gu Nianzhi seriously She forced a s lady You’re just setting yourself up for humiliation, don’t say I didn’t warn you If you want to sue o online and do some research on the Bai family first”
“Oh, I don’t have to do that, I already looked your fa Jinning as she threw Bai Jinyi a disdainful look “I know the Bai family is well-connected I even drew up your faled web that turned out to be—your faers in every pie But let o to the online forums and tell everyone that you threatened to use your fa you Watch out, you’ll have to face the wrath of the public then!”
Gu Nianzhi knew that families as powerful as the Bai family had numerous skeletons in their closets
A public scandal would result in the fa all their precious “inside” connections
Gu Nianzhi arched an eyebrow “The Bai fa And make no mistake, you’re just a pawn” She sht hand, and pretended to shoot Bai Jinyi with a “bang”
Anger, surprise, frustration, and fear flickered across Bai Jinyi’s face in quick succession
Gu Nianzhi was an unparalleled genius when it ca other people
In two succinct sentences, she had effectively warned Bai Jinyi to stop interfering with Song Jinning’sthe Bai fa’s future
The Bai family had to play it safe for the e dealt to their reputation by Bai Yusheng’s scandal Gu Nianzhi was certain that the heads of the Bai fah to allow Bai Jinyi to rock the boat just then, not when the previous scandal was still fresh on everyone’swith it, Gu Nianzhi fully intended to take Bai Jinyi to court It would be an excellent case to take on for her post-grad work; she would be able to test her skills and prove herself in the legal field
Gu Nianzhi’s threat proved to be extre room was suddenly as silent as a tomb There was a conflicted expression on every face—except Song Jinning’s
Her eyes had grown di on
She hadn’t had anything to eat for the entire day She swayed unsteadily on her feet; she would have collapsed by now if Gu Nianzhi hadn’t been supporting her
In the silence, Huo Shaoheng’s phone began to ring
He got out his phone and looked at it When he saw the call was froer “…You got e?”
Chen Lie’s voice was solemn “Why the sudden rush? Didn’t you say we’d do it after the New Year?”
“We’ll talk later You’ve shi+pped all your things over?”
“Dr Ye brought hly sophisticated instruments and samples that I’ll have to carry myself, because of how valuable and i on the plane in a minute I’ll be there before you know it” With that, Chen Lie pro up and boarded the private ’s personal secretary, Yin shi+xiong, had secured for hiht fro put his phone away, his expression inscrutable He looked entirely nonchalant, as though he had ood friend In actual fact, he had been planning for this exact moment for the last six years
