Bai Jinyi’s eyes almost shot out of their sockets
This was not theshe had observed in the last 16 years She… she looked and sounded entirely normal!
Hoas that possible?!
Bai Jinyi stared at Song Jinning, unable to hide the suspicion in her eyes She asked tentatively, “What’s wrong, Jinning? Is your ain?”
“You failed to cure me in the last 16 years, but soracefully Now that the wo face-to-face, the difference in their looks could not becould have passed for Bai Jinyi’s daughter
Bai Jinyi’s face darkened She immediately said, “Who was it? Who tried to cure you without the consent of the y?! That’s illegal!”
“You’re one to talk, Physicist Bai How many laws have you broken so far?” Gu Nianzhi walked over to Song JInning and slid a hand around her arether, arm-in-arm, the tomen stared Bai Jinyi down “The court summons will be sent to your home address after the new year holidays Please n for it—if you’re not, we may have to put out an arrest warrant and start a nationwidefor the Bai family, I’m sure”
Gu Nianzhi’s reply was perfect: not only did it serve to remind Bai Jinyi that she was the one on trial here, not the , it also sent a e to the otherthem not to try to cover for Bai Jinyi…
Bai Yueran blinked She looked at Gu Nianzhi in surprise, as though seeing her for the first tihui, ere standing shoulder-to-shoulder, saw that General Ji and Chair had joined the crowd Their faces darkened
“What law did I break?” Bai Jinyi returned to her senses She glared balefully at Gu Nianzhi: the young lady had euests, and Bai Jinyi hated her guts for it “Don’t accuse s I haven’t done”
“I only make accusations when I have evidence at hand” Gu Nianzhi shrugged nonchalantly, before resu her assault on Bai Jinyi’s self-confidence: “Physicist Bai, you should have resigned fro’s psychiatrist when you officially began dating General Huo 10 years ago It was a conflict of interest, and you should have stepped down, if only just to avoid potential gossip But you didn’t, and you abused your position You neglected your patient for 16 years, even though there was an easy cure for her condition From that point onwards, you’ve broken at least two different laws—you’ve violated the code of professional conduct for psychiatrists, and also theofficial duties You should have known better, but you did it anyway Why? If you didn’t do it for General Huo, then as your purpose?”
Bai Jinyi’s heart skipped a beat She clenched her fists, feeling the sweat on her pal blood
Song Jinning looked at Bai Jinyi with perfect indifference When she spoke, her voice, too, was entirely ins of emotion “Bai Jinyi, since you already admit that you love Huo Guanyuan, let’s talk about what happened back then I’ ot h to deter you—instead, you continued to ask me to help set hiin to hate me because of that? I can’t think of any other reason for you to treat ht I also reet close to Huo Guanyuan and seduce him You made him fall head over heels for you…” Bai Jinyi’s face contorted into a vicious s, did you know? Your brother-in-law, your husband’s older brother, was so in love with you he called your nausted She said sharply, “You have no sha Huo Guanyuan’s naer speak for hihed inwardly: Bai Jinyi was already baring her fangs and claws, but Song Jinning was just tooJinning’s ar to say calmly to Bai Jinyi: “Physicist Bai, please refrain fro your opinions as fact You have zero factual evidence to back up your clai ical ter your deepest fantasies with reality Your obsession with Huo Guanyuan has severely impaired your ability to think rationally—you take your fanciful i to impose your assumptions on everyone else…”
Before Gu Nianzhi could finish her speech, Bai Changhui suddenly walked over and said, “I see, sofrom a mental disorder Oh, how terrible! I didn’t know… Jinyi, I shouldn’t have blamed you…”
Gu Nianzhi arched an eyebrow She knehat Bai Changhui was up to: he was trying to use the “mentally ill” card to absolve Bai Jinyi of her crimes!
Gu Nianzhi would sooner eat her hat than let Bai Changhui use such a fli to be a future lawyer—if she couldn’t stop him nohen all he had was a la” excuse, she was obviously unsuited for a career in law
She shook her head “Mr Bai, I don’t believe she’s e the subject and bail Physicist Bai out of this”
“Weren’t you the one who said e the subject?” Bai Changhui turned to look at Gu Nianzhi with cool, impassive eyes
“I didn’t say she wasthat you, Mr Bai, the deputy secretary-general of the Secretariat, could have ious manner Your concern for your sister must have addled your brain—it’s entirely understandable” Gu Nianzhi had actually wanted to say that Bai Changhui was an incootten his job because of his faed her hui was not the type to take offense at petty insults He sieable about mental disorders, Miss Gu”
