Hello, Mr. Major General

Chapter 1486: Read Her Mind

Qin Yaoguang quickly calmed down and glared at Gu Nianzhi in disgust. She turned to Wen Shouyi and said calmly, “Shouyi, you’re a lawyer who graduated from Harvard Law School. Do you think what she said makes sense?”

Gu Nianzhi scoffed. “Does it have anything to do with which law school she graduated from?”

“Of course,” Qin Yaoguang answered immediately, “I heard that you only graduated from the law school of a domestic university. You don’t have a degree from a foreign law school, and Shouyi is a true academic star. She was definitely one of the top 1% of Harvard Law School graduates.”

“So you’re saying that the school she graduated from is better than mine, so her words make more sense than mine?” Gu Nianzhi said as she looked at Wen Shouyi with a subtle smile. “Assistant Professor Wen, actually, I’d like to go to court with you in a face-to-face lawsuit. Let’s see if B University’s law students are better than Harvard law students.”

Wen Shouyi was motivated by Gu Nianzhi’s attitude, and in front of Qin Yaoguang, she didn’t want to be overshadowed by Gu Nianzhi’s imposing presence.

Gu Nianzhi was Qin Yaoguang’s biological daughter, so she had a natural advantage. What did she have?

In the seven years that Gu Nianzhi had been away, she had accompanied Qin Yaoguang like a daughter would.

Why did Gu Nianzhi come back with all kinds of bossy provocations? Did she really think she was a princess?

Wen Shouyi’s own parents were only the He family’s gardeners, so she was more sensitive than anyone else in this regard.

Therefore, after some thought, Wen Shouyi said mercilessly, “If you really want to go to the insurance company and falsely accuse Aunt Qin of insurance fraud, then I’ll have to convince Aunt Qin to do the right thing and sue you for intentional injury.”

She pointed at Qin Yaoguang’s hands that were tied up like dumplings. “Look, you destroyed the hands of a world-famous brain surgeon with a fruit knife.”

“We had witnesses and physical evidence at the time, and the chain of evidence was very complete. The reason we didn’t directly sue you before was because Aunt Qin wanted to. You’re her biological daughter. She wouldn’t do such a thing.”

Gu Nianzhi wasn’t afraid at all.

On the contrary, when it came to going to court, she was abnormally excited.

“Fine, go ahead and sue me. I’ll be a witness for the insurance company, so it won’t stop you from suing me.” Her eager expression almost writing “sue me!” on her forehead Gu Nianzhi said with a smile.

Qin Zhining watched from the side with his mouth agape. His attention was completely drawn to Gu Nianzhi.

Although she had told him not to interrupt, he couldn’t sit still when she heard the tension between Wen Shouyi and her getting more and more intense.

Moreover, he knew how powerful Wen Shouyi was. As for Gu Nianzhi, in his impression, she was still the chubby, fragile little girl He Zhichu had protected seven years ago.

She was no match for Wen Shouyi…

Qin Zhining liked Wen Shouyi, but that didn’t mean he had to watch as Gu Nianzhi was dragged into the pit by Wen Shouyi.

This little girl had called him brother Little Ning for six years. He couldn’t just stand by and watch her fall into a predicament.

Qin Zhining cleared his throat and tried to smooth things over. “Nianzhi, just apologize. You injured Aunt Qin so badly. Even if it was self-defense, it was a little too much. Besides, she’s your biological mother!”

Without waiting for Gu Nianzhi to glare at him, he said to Wen Shouyi, “Shouyi, you too. You’re so much older than her. How can you be so calculative with her? You’re not that kind of person. I know you’re the most generous and kind-hearted girl. Don’t scare her.”

Wen Shouyi had been smiling when she heard Qin Zhining’s earlier words.

She hadn’t expected to be struck by Qin Zhining’s last words before her smile had even faded.

She was so angry that she was trembling.

What did he mean by being so much older than her?!

She was only six years older than her!

Besides, she was just stating the facts. How was she being calculative? !

However, she had always been very level-headed and magnanimous in front of Qin Zhining. She had never acted like Gu Nianzhi, who was acting like a spoiled child at such a young age.

After hearing what Qin Zhining said, she was even embarrassed to act coquettishly.

Gu Nianzhi saw that Wen Shouyi’s face had turned red from Qin Zhining’s last words and she appeared as if she was about to have a brain hemorrhage. She immediately laughed.

She nodded, “Brother Little Ning, it indeed never rains without pouring. What you said today was really good. Yes, I was defending myself, but I didn’t hurt Mrs. Qin. The injury on Mrs. Qin’s hand was a mistake in her judgment and she took the initiative to grab the knife, but she was still my biological mother, so let’s just say I was wrong. I apologize to you, and I promise I will never take out a fruit knife again. Even though you were the one who asked Wen Shouyi to take out the fruit knife and put it by my hand.”

Qin Yaoguang looked at her coldly and said aloofly, “I don’t deserve it. I told you that I don’t regard you as my biological daughter, and you shouldn’t regard me as your biological mother either. That responsibility is too heavy, and I can’t afford it.”

Gu Nianzhi shrugged, “Fine, then don’t say that I didn’t apologize. “You’re the one who didn’t accept it, so it’s fine. We’ll stay out of each other’s way from now on. Don’t say that you’re my mother, but I definitely won’t say that I’m your daughter. Lawyer He and lawyer Wen are all here, so let’s sign a consent form immediately to severe our mother-daughter relationship.”

Qin Yaoguang berated coldly, “Haven’t you had enough?! What are you doing here today?!”

She glanced at He Zhichu quickly.

He Zhichu put his hands in his pockets and stood silently beside Gu Nianzhi. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Qin Yaoguang could only look down and sigh. she rubbed her forehead and said, “I know you’re complaining that I shouldn’t have brought people to perform the surgery on you, but according to the security regulations, you do have to undergo the surgery. I can’t perform the surgery personally right now, but after I recover, I’ll train a group of people and guide them to perform the surgery.”

In other words, she had to perform Gu Nianzhi’s surgery even if she didn’t want to. She was even willing to use the legal terms to pressure her.

These words were the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

In Gu Nianzhi’s heart, this biological mother was already dead to her now. She would never acknowledge her as her mother.

She didn’t remember anything about her childhood, but even if she did, she wouldn’t be able to make decisions for herself. She would probably be exploited by this woman.

But now that she had grown up, if she was still being exploited by this woman with the word “biological mother,” then she would have wasted seven years of her life growing up in the Special Operations Forces.

To put it bluntly, she had 10,000 ways to make this woman regret giving birth to her.

Gu Nianzhi didn’t know who her personality resembled. She would compassionately repay the kindness that others had shown her by tendfold.

But if others treated her badly, whether it was her biological father or mother, she wouldn’t be merciful. In her mind, there was no such thing as absolute obedience to her parents.

Her patience was very limited. The word “vengeful”could be engraved on her epitaph.

Gu Nianzhi’s fingers were itching. She rubbed them a few times and looked at Qin Yaoguang with a smile. “Aren’t you going to give up on the surgery?”

Just as she was about to speak again, He Zhichu opened his mouth. “Miss Qin, Nianzhi doesn’t need the surgery.”

Qin yaoguang’s pupils dialated imperceptibly.

He Zhichu actually didn’t call her “Auntie Qin” but like Gu Nianzhi, he called her “Mrs. Qin”..

She felt choked for a moment and quickly said, “Ah-Chu, you can’t break the rules for her. According to the security regulations…”

He Zhichu’s gleaming almond-shaped eyes glanced at Gu Nianzhi and he said coldly, “Mrs. Qin, you’re indeed worthy of praise for being fair and square. However, the one who needs the surgery isn’t Nianzhi, but her.”

He Zhichu looked at Wen Shouyi. “Wen Shouyi is the one who needs the surgery the most.”

“Young Master He!” Wen Shouyi stood up anxiously. “I’m your personal secretary! I’m in compliance with the security regulations!”

“You’re not anymore.” He Zhichu was unusually cold. “I just sent a message to the military to strip you of your position as my personal secretary. You have been fired from your military post and won’t enjoy any security privileges.”

“Nianzhi is both my fiancée and my personal secretary. She is the one who fully meets the requirements of the security regulations.”

He Zhichu no longer tolerated Wen Shouyi.

Today, he had seen with his own eyes that she followed Qin Yaoguang’s lead and spared no effort to oppress Gu Nianzhi. He Zhichu’s hatred for her had completely exploded.

He Zhichu really couldn’t do anything about Qin Yaoguang. Not only was she his savior, but she was also his father’s wife.

Although he was very displeased, he wouldn’t personally go against her.

However, he wasn’t so polite to Wen Shouyi.

Who was she to him?

Was it fun to use Qin Yaoguang’s influence to help her oppress her own daughter?

He Zhichu actually didn’t understand what these two women were doing.

They clearly knew Gu Nianzhi’s position in his heart, yet they still troubled her in front of him. Did they think he, He Zhichu, was a fool, or were they intentionally slapping his face?

Or weree they trying to test how far he could go for Gu Nianzhi?

Her eyes almost popping out of their sockets, Qin Yaoguang looked up in surprise. “Zhichu! How can you just let her leave like that?!”

“She’s my personal secretary, so of course she can leave like that. Don’t tell me I can’t even make decisions for my personal secretary?” He Zhichu said matter-of-factly. “And I’m a major general, so I happen to be in charge of the political department. I can also make decisions about her military status.”

Wen Shouyi’s face turned white in an instant. It was the color of white plaster. Although it was white, it carried an indescribable weight, like a mask made of plaster.

She didn’t notice that He Zhichu had said that he wanted to strip her of her position as personal secretary. Instead, she focused entirely on He Zhichu saying that Gu Nianzhi was his fiancée.

She cried out in a low voice, “Gu Nianzhi is already engaged to Huo Shaoheng! She’s no longer your fiancée!”

Gu Nianzhi didn’t want to admit that she was engaged to He Zhichu, but seeing how agitated Wen Shouyi was, she couldn’t help wanting to stab her in the back and show He Zhichu what Wen Shouyi was thinking..

She deliberately leaned her head on He Zhichu’s shoulder and said lazily, “That’s over there. Do you think the law here can control that?”

He Zhichu’s sparkling almond-shaped eyes shone with joy, and his cold and clear voice brought warmth to the heart.

He said, “… Of course not.”As he spoke, he hugged Gu Nianzhi’s shoulder even tighter.

Just behind them, someone used a telephoto lens to secretly capture their figures, side by side and hugging each other.

Wen Shouyi used all her strength to restrain herself from shouting.

But her heart was already desolate.

The wish she had been secretly hoping for all these years seemed to have been shattered in an instant.

Gu Nianzhi was still deliberately provoking her. “Wen Shouyi, why are you reacting so strongly towards me and Professor He? Don’t you like Brother Little Ning? Or have you always been secretly in love with Professor He? hahahaha…”

Wen Shouyi opened her mouth and wanted to retort, but when she saw He Zhichu looking at Gu Nianzhi’s side profile affectionately, she felt bitter and sour. It took a lot of effort for her to say, “What nonsense are you talking about? Of course… I like Qin Zhining.”

Qin Zhining was also anxious and quickly said, “Young Master He, what do you mean by this? How can you retreat just like that?”

He Zhichu was much more perceptive than Qin Zhining. He could tell that something was wrong with Wen Shouyi, so of course he wouldn’t keep her by his side.

Gu Nianzhi looked at Qin Zhining sympathetically and tugged at the corner of He Zhichu’s shirt.

He Zhichu’s hand slipped down and he held her hand. He said to Qin Yaoguang, “Mrs. Qin, please take care of Wen Shouyi’s surgery.”

Qin Yaoguang gave a wry smile. “Ah-Chu, you… ah, forget it, forget it. I have a terrible headache. You guys can go back first. I need to rest.” As she spoke, she gestured for Wen Shouyi to lay down the bed for her and cover her with the blanket, then she closed her eyes. It looked like she really wanted to rest.

Gu Nianzhi despised her in her heart and didn’t want to stay here. She said, “Professor He, let’s go too.”

He Zhichu suppressed the excitement in his heart and nodded slightly. “Then you can rest, Mrs. Qin. We’ll go back first.”

When he and Gu Nianzhi reached the door, he turned to Qin Yaoguang and said, “Mrs. Qin, take good care of yourself. In a few days, I’ll be holding a grand banquet for Gu Nianzhi to welcome her back.”
