Chapter 769 - Birthday Party (12) (2/2)

Jin Wanyi’s eyes couldn’t help but look at Yin s.h.i.+xiong again. She saw him beaming with joy as he listened attentively to the tall and bubbly girl next to him speak. He didn’t notice her at all. How did her life become like this? There was no big break in her career. Now, even the man she was secretly in love with was s.n.a.t.c.hed away by somebody else…

While Jin Wanyi was in a trance, Gu Nianzhi turned her head to Cai Songyin. “Mrs. Tan, when the lawyer representing said that you did reallocate the campaign fund, it didn’t matter that you returned it within three months. Those words already gave you a life sentence. In people’s hearts and eyes, you would forever be that person that used the campaign fund. In the future, when you would appear with Prime Minister at a campaign fundraising event, people would retreat a three-day march and would no longer donate to Prime Minister Tan.”

The people in the hall that heard what Gu Nianzhi said all wore meaningful smiles. That young female lawyer really did have skill. Compared to most lawyers who could only do things according to what their client wanted, one could immediately distinguish which one was superior and inferior. She not only defended for one’s innocence, she would eagerly and sincerely defend the client’s reputation.

To those politicians, reputations were more important than anything else. No matter how unworthy of it they were when they were in a private place, as long as it was not disclosed to the public, they could still behave with integrity. If their bad deeds were disclosed, it meant one’s political career was already over.

Cai Songyin’s dried and cracked lips trembled intensely. She turned her head and looked at Tan Dongbang. Prime Minister Tan’s eyes were evasive. He didn’t dare look her in the face.

She looked at Gu Yanran again. Gu Yanran was actually looking at her face and said, “Mrs. Tan, don’t be trickdc by my little sister’s words. She’s liked to boast since she was young. Who knows how many people she’s tricked by the lies she came up with…”

Gu Nianzhi’s facial expression changed. Was Gu Yanran shedding all pretense of cordiality? That was exactly what she had been looking for. The truth was, every time she saw that older sister’s hypocritical face as she pretended to be nice, she really wanted to throw up.

Gu Nianzhi stood in front of Gu Yanran. Her facial expression was grave and stern as she sneered. Her deep and dark eyes were fixed on Gu Yanran as she said in a cold manner, “Gu Yanran, don’t open your mouth and lie. Although I’m your sister, I will sue for slander if you talk like that. I will be a pair of pants with you. Do you believe me?”

Gu Yanran’s pupils dilated. Her whole body trembled.

“Apologize. I want you to apologize immediately.” Gu Nianzhi took a step forward again. “Don’t think that I don’t remember the things that happened when I was younger. It’s not up to you to slander and tarnish me.”

“You already said that you don’t remember the things that happened when you were younger, how could you say that I slander and tarnish you?” Gu Yanran presumptuously thought that she found a flaw in what Gu Nianzhi had said and immediately fought back.

“You’re talking to me about evidence? Fine.” Gu Nianzhi pointed her finger. “One, you said when I was younger that I lied and tricked people. Where is the witness? Who can prove that I actually lied and tricked people when I was younger?”

“Is me proving it not enough?!” Gu Yanran smiled coldly. “You don’t remember, but it doesn’t mean that I don’t remember!”

“Haha, Lady Gu Yanran, you are a person who is ignorant of the law. You are the accuser. What you say can’t be used as evidence. Just like when you play ball. You can’t be a player and be the referee. That’s why you have to prove that I said those kinds of things. You have to bring out human testimony and material evidence that proves I said those things. If you couldn’t bring it out, you are slandering me.”

Gu Yanran opened her mouth. She suddenly remembered that one time when all the old servants of the Gu family back in Barbados had been suddenly attacked and killed. She quickly shut up.

“Can’t say it? Oh, I think I remember. That one time when all the old servants of the Gu family that were in Barbados were kidnapped and killed. Lady Gu Yanran, am I right?”

Gu Nianzhi’s memory was very good. At that moment, she firmly believed that Gu Yanran had a problem. The ability to think about and connect things that happened that long ago was very scary…
