Wen Shouyi had not expected Gu Nianzhi to shi+ft the focus of their discussion froyan to the relationshi+p between He Zhichu and herself

“…Is your question related to the current investigation?” Wen Shouyi asked i that she did not want to talk about it

“Of course it’s related” Gu Nianzhi cupped her cheeks in both hands as she smiled serenely at Wen Shouyi “You have to answer my question”

“How exactly is it related?” Wen Shouyi asked withouta beat What did her relationshi+p with He Zhichu have anything to do with Dou Qingyan and her crimes?

“Why should I tell you?” Gu Nianzhi cocked her head “Who’s supposed to be the professor here? Do I have to spell everything out for you? Are you even worthy of your position as an associate professor at Harvard Law School?”

“Now you’re just being a bully!” The corner of Wen Shouyi’s s up, because you know very well there isn’t a connection between the two!”

“Like I said, I aation to answer your questions You, on the other hand, have to answer ation” Gu Nianzhi rapped her knuckles on the table “Your connection with Dou Qingyan means Professor He is involved by default This is e have to investigate your relationshi+p with him Miss Wen, is that so difficult to understand?”

Wen Shouyi: “…”

“How did you est law firm in America, or be an associate professor at Harvard Law School? They must have been desperate” Gu Nianzhi typed out her notes on the laptop “So? Spit it out, and don’t try anything funny”

“I don’t understand what you mean” Wen Shouyi decided to send the ball back into Gu Nianzhi’s court “I’ assistant—why do you say I’ of someone else?”

“You don’t understand what I mean?” Gu Nianzhi looked directly at Wen Shouyi “You’ve never acted like his nanny? But I’ve seen you hold an umbrella over Professor He when I was in C University, and you looked just like a doting nanny And don’t get ain, I guess you’re not actually a nanny, but some kind of butler Yes, I think that describes you better: you’re his butler”

“Shut up!” Wen Shouyi had finally lost her temper “Professor He and I were both from the same town My family is indebted to his He doesn’t have any relatives around him—is it a criues also be friends who care for one another? Why do you ar?”

“Oh, it’s entirely norues, and to care for another, I agree But I’ve never, ever, seen a feue, or open car doors for him—you’re the first It’s usually the man who takes care of the woman” Gu Nianzhi smiled “Besides, I’ve been to Professor He’s house when I was in America I know exactly what role you perform in his house, and what kind of job you have to do You may try to hide it, but you can’t fool me!”

“What exactly did Professor He tell you?” Wen Shouyi paled There was a hysterical note in her voice, which was now high-pitched and shaky

Gu Nianzi arched an eyebrow; the wheels in her head turned, and she decided to try a bluff She s”

Wen Shouyi’s perfectly trimmed eyebrows shot up She stared at Gu Nianzhi incredulously “Everything? He told you everything?”

“Yes, everything,” Gu Nianzhi said calmly She lowered her head to peer at the laptop screen as she continued typing out her notes

“So he told you everything—and this is how you decide to treat him? Andderisively “Okay, that’s enough You can drop the act You can’t foolthe both of you? I’ protocol,” Gu Nianzhi said warily

Wen Shouyi breathed a sigh of relief Suddenly, she burst into laughter and shook her head “So it was just a bluff! I knew it, it didn’t make any sense”

Wen Shouyi was now certain that He Zhichu had not told Gu Nianzhi “everything”

Her heart grew tender at the thought She could not suppress the war her cheeks

Gu Nianzhi was surprised to see Wen Shouyi blush She could not understand as going on, but she arched an eyebrow and asked, with a straight face, “It isn’t a bluff If you don’t believe me, you can ask Professor He yourself”

“I have to admit, I almost fell for it” Wen Shouyi leaned back into her chair “You said he told you ‘everything’ Well, I know that can’t be true But whatever, let’s move on”
