They all knew that the person behind Gu Nianzhi was Huo Shaoheng This victory actually belonged to hi her presence, all of the
Look at how cal everyone; he kept a polite distance between everyone, no matter his or her status He had perfect manners, and did not show any form of happiness nor displeasure
All of these eave Gu Nianzhi just now It was just so honest
Perhaps, it was the best he could do for so?
Gu Nianzhi’s mind was in a mess She just could not calm herself down
She could not control herself – her gaze would just return to Huo Shaoheng unknowingly; looking at his everyhis different smiles and how he moves his head
She lowered her head, and tried to stop herself fro too s; she did not want to be a burden to Huo Shaoheng
If he was unwilling to publicize their relationshi+p, then Gu Nianzhi would never reveal it on her own accord
Looking at how freely he was behaving in front of others, she knew clearly that she was the one who fell deeper for him She’d even be the one as more proactive in this relationshi+p
Therefore, she wanted to let Huo Shaoheng have the final decision It’d be nice if he wanted to publicize their relationshi+p; but if he doesn’t want to, she wouldn’t request for it as well, because she trusts hi when they walked out of the court
Gu Nianzhi looked at the clouds in the clear blue sky There were doves flying past occasionally; their chirps echoing… She looked at the ain He as so popular with everyone; whoet close to… He was so near, but so far away
She forgot that she wasn’t supposed to look at hihts
All of a sudden, Huo Shaoheng turned around Their eyes met
He smiled at her, held out his hand and called out to her: “Come here, Nianzhi”
Gu Nianzhi’s face lit up It was
She walked towards everyone, and placed her hand into the war
“It was all thanks to Nianzhi for our victory today If not for her, our ar praised Gu Nianzhi openly in front of everyone She was so touched she almost cried
She lowered her head It looked like she was shy at the attention, but in fact; she was hiding the tears that were threatening to fall froain when she ed to control her emotions a little She looked at him, full of admiration
General Ji observed the scene in front of hi in the car in on the side of the road in front of the courtrooaze travelled to the Gu Nianzhi whose hand was held by Huo Shaoheng, and frowned
He initially intended to get off the car and ainst it “Go back”, he told his driver
The driver started the engine, and returned to thethe moment he settled into the car with Gu Nianzhi
The nu directly on this phone was known by only a handful of people It did not require the ar looked at his phone Realizing that it was General Ji, he answered the call immediately: “General Ji?”
“Yes, it’s ratulated hilory to the army It was theof a treasured military person; we can’t let her die without justice You’ve worked hard for this case The ar smiled, “This is what I should do Luo Xinxue was my Aunt in-laouldn’t accept the honor froet about it”
Hearing Huo Shaoheng rejecting the honor, General Ji did not push further He just replied: “Sure, it does make some sense now that you put it this way Then we’ll just keep it as a record in your profile Shaoheng, you’re the General the arroom You know you are not allowed towas puzzled He adhered to every single rule for the Special Forces at work, and does not fool around in his private life as well He definitely hadn’t been blacklisted before Thus, he replied promptly: “Rest assured General Ji, I’ve been coreat to hear” General Ji laughed heartily He felt relieved “I passed by the entrance of the court just now and saw all of you, but it was too crowded so I decided against congratulating you in person”
“General Ji ca recalled with utmost attention and understood almost immediately
They would have closed the entire road if he were to come out officially; there will be no way he did not notice him
“Yes, I orried about you, so I came over to have a look” General Ji replied kindly, “It was a relief knowing that you won I’ain e are both available”
“Yes, General” Huo Shaoheng replied, only putting away the phone when the line on the other side was cut off
Gu Nianzhi was sitting down on the Huo Shaoheng’s side quietly
Huo Shaoheng held her hands, “You’ve worked hard Please rest well, it’s almost New Year”
Gu Nianzhi looked at the clear sky outside, and smiled, “will it be warze joined the conversation froe in weather in a few days I saw the weather forecast; there’s going to be a period of transition for the cold wind so to be way colder than the past years”
She will be going back to school after New Year
Gu Nianzhi’s thoughts drifted to He Zhichu all of a sudden She reument in his study, and frowned in disco with He Zhichu’s call just when she was thinking of him
She didn’t want to answer it initially, but Huo Shaoheng saw it as well, and asked, “It’s your lecturer, why aren’t you picking up the call?”
Gu Nianzhi knew that Huo Shaoheng was attentive and clever He knew her inside out too So, in order to not let him be suspicious, she picked up the call “Professor He?”
“Yes, it’sin front of the French s in his apart your first case”
“There wasn’t much I could do to be honest,” Gu Nianzhi did not want the credit “Young Master Huo and his men were very well prepared; I wasthem to showcase their preparations”
“You’re too humble” He Zhichu’s voice was clear, and naturally cold He paused for a bit, and continued: “I saw court records”
Gu Nianzhi couldn’t find her voice
Wasn’t it supposed to be a secret trial, and nothing should be publicized other than the verdict? How did He Zhichu get the court records?
“You don’t believe it?” He Zhichu chuckled, “JD’s Jin Dazhuang is now the chief lawyer in my law firave me for the interview”
Gu Nianzhi felt suffocated: “Isn’t Jin Dazhuang the chief lawyer froe? He lost this case and offended the Bai’s Of course JD would not engage him anymore No other people would’ve dared to employ him other than me now” He Zhichu said casually, but Gu Nianzhi knew that things were not that sihed, “The Bai’s really did that?”
Bai Yueran didn’t look this unreasonable
“Of course they didn’t have to do it themselves; but the verdict is in the public JD still has to survive The only way to let the Bai’s know that they’re on their side is to fire Jin Dazhuang” He Zhichu sounded like he knew these things really well
“Then… Professor He isn’t afraid to offend the Bai’s?” Gu Nianzhi asked after pausing for a while
“Now, Nianzhi, are you worried aboutdown for the past few days, all of a sudden, he felt cheerful
“…Goodbye Professor He” Gu Nianzhi hung up
Huo Shaoheng narrowed his eyes and asked, “What happened?”
“Jin Dazhuang has been fired by JD law firm He went over to Professor He’s law firm instead” Gu Nianzhi shook her head, “It was just a case, must they be like that?”
