Chapter 858: 858

“Don’t try to change the topic . ” Ma Qiqi pretended to be stern . However, her smiling and sparkling eyes gave her away . “Let me tell you, even if you intend to be together with Professor He, you have to control yourself . You have got to wait until we graduate . Do not blind anyone in the school!”

 Gu Nianzhi sighed and put down her spoon . She took a piece of tissue to clean her mouth and said exasperatedly, “I have no romantic feelings towards Professor He . It’s true . However, it is also true that Professor He has been extremely nice to me . I feel… towards him… I feel… how should I put it…”

 Gu Nianzhi was confused as well . If she said that she had absolutely no feelings for him, it would be a lie .

 She was a human with feelings . How could there be no feelings?

 However, the feelings that Gu Nianzhi had towards He Zhichu were not romantic .

 Gu Nianzhi was absolutely clear about that .

 “…I am sorry if I am being blunt . I am closer to Professor He than other people . I have no idea why either . ” Gu Nianzhi shrugged . “I am serious . Sometimes, I think that having an older brother like him wouldn’t be that bad, but I would never ask Professor He to do disgusting things like to be my sworn brother or something . ”

 “Well, that is true too . ” Ma Qiqi nodded in agreement . “What I detest most is that the man that I like is telling me that he treats me like a sister… Sister your *ss! If he did not like me, that would be it . Why should he be so cheap?”

 Gu Nianzhi smiled and whispered, “…That is why I’m telling you, nothing is going on between Professor He and me . Even if he feels like an older brother to me, it is merely something that is on my mind . To be honest, I would never be lucky enough to have such an amazing brother as him . ”

 “Professor He is cold on the outside, but a passionate person on the inside . I really cannot tell which girl could be good enough for him,” Ma Qiqi said as she began admiring He Zhichu again . “So handsome, he looks like a movie star when he talks and walks . No one can tear their eyes away from him…”

Gu Nianzhi was speechless .

 She waved her hand in front of Ma Qiqi’s face . “Wake up! Qiqi, you already belong to someone!”

 “Oh yeah…” Ma Qiqi heaved a heavy sigh, then said happily, “That is why I can only admire from afar . I cannot play dirty!”

 “Nonsense!” Gu Nianzhi slapped her hand playfully . “You can play dirty with brother Xiong . Professor He is too perfect, therefore you should only admire him from afar . Do not pollute him with your dirty thoughts . ”

 “You are the nonsensical one!” Ma Qiqi slapped Gu Nianzhi’s hand playfully as well . “Brother Xiong and I have not reached the level where we can be dirty with each other . You don’t have to worry, alright!”

 Gu Nianzhi laughed gleefully .

 It was such an amazing weekend morning with good food and a best friend . Gu Nianzhi could not have asked for more .

 After they were done with breakfast, Gu Nianzhi headed to the library to prepare the documents that she would need for the hearing on Monday .

 This time, both sides were going to be well prepared . They would be fighting face-to-face in court .

 After the two times, she and Gu Yanran both knew that they were enemies .

 The assassination attempt a few days ago also made Gu Nianzhi realize that Gu Yanran very much wanted her dead .

 Gu Nianzhi had initially wanted to fight for only half of the inheritance and freeze the other half . She had not expected Gu Yanran to be ruthless enough to try to kill her . Therefore, she would not play nice anymore either .

 This time, she would be fighting for all of the inheritance . She wanted Gu Yanran out of the family without a penny .

 It would be tough though .

 No matter what, the person in a vegetative state, Gu Xiangwen, had the same DNA as Gu Yanran . Gu Nianzhi was merely an adopted daughter . If an adopted daughter was able to get all the inheritance from the biological daughter after a lawsuit, it would be talked about for years .

 Gu Nianzhi looked at the documents and the set of answers that Ye Xuan had given to her and went deep in thought .

 She could tell that Gu Yanran had protected all the information about the Gus very well . No one had been able to find out anything about the family . All the old servants from the Gu mansion had been killed in that “kidnapping incident” in Barbados . Ye Xuan had been in a boarding school in America the whole time .

 His only evidence was that when he was the one in charge of finance in the family . He knew slightly more about the inheritance, which was why he was able to provide Gu Nianzhi with a list of everything . By having the only other big player in a vegetative state, everything about the Gu family fortune had to be decided by Gu Yanran .

 Gu Nianzhi used her marker to draw circle after circles and line after line of notes . Eventually, everything pointed back to Gu Yanran .

 She’d had a blurry idea a long time ago . Since Gu Yanran was the main person in charge of everything to do with the Gus, her point of attack should directly be on Gu Yanran herself .

 Other evidence supported this . The only thing that she needed to confirm was Gu Yanran’s real identity . Gu Nianzhi would never believe that Gu Yanran was Gu Xiangwen’s biological daughter .

 Even though Gu Nianzhi was not sure if she herself was Gu Xiangwen’s biological daughter, she was extremely sure that Gu Yanran was not .

 So… Who exactly was Gu Yanran?

 Gu Nianzhi took out the information about Gu Yanran that had been discovered by Huo Shaoheng for her reference . First Class Honors graduate from St . John’s College . She was the perfect candidate to be a good housekeeper . On top of that, before she’d entered St . John’s College, her high school and junior school records were all blank . No one could trace which schools she’d attended during those times .

 Gu Nianzhi added another point of suspicion on her list .

 The weekend passed quickly . Gu Nianzhi spent two entire days in the library . Monday arrived in a blink of an eye .

 That was the day she and Gu Yanran would fight it out in court .

 Gu Nianzhi woke up in the morning, washed up, and changed into a business suit from Versace and a black pair of high-heeled leather shoes by Manolo Blahnik . She tied her hair into a bun at the back of her head . She looked more mature like that .

 Gu Nianzhi looked at her reflection in the mirror and still felt slightly unhappy .

 She almost wanted to get a pair of black-rimmed glasses to put on . Those would help her to look her age… However, she did not wear glasses normally . She also hadn’t worn any glasses to hearings in the past . If she put some on now, they would attract too much attention .

 Therefore, the glasses were just a thought in Gu Nianzhi’s mind .

 After she was done preparing, Ma Qiqi headed downstairs with her . Ma Qiqi would be going to the hearing as well . After getting together with Yin Shixiong, she didn’t give up any chances to spend time with him .

 Yin Shixiong would be listening in on the hearing between Gu Nianzhi and Gu Yanran to represent Huo Shaoheng . Therefore, Ma Qiqi tagged along .

 Yin Shixiong was waiting for them in the lobby of their dormitory . Gu Nianzhi and Ma Qiqi boarded the car . Gu Nianzhi took the back seat immediately, leaving the front seat for Ma Qiqi .

 Ma Qiqi hopped into the car happily, blushing the moment she saw Yin Shixiong .

 Yin Shixiong had never been in a romantic relationship before . Therefore, he did not know the feeling of being in love . However, he knew that he was extremely happy each time he set his eyes on Ma Qiqi . He liked spending time with her and enjoyed being together with her .

 Yin Shixiong started the engine and began chatting with Ma Qiqi . Since both of them were chatterboxes, they’d realized that they had many similarities from the moment they began talking . A good example was that they both loved to swim, eat, rock climb, and camp .

 By the time they arrived at court, Yin Shixiong and Ma Qiqi had already set a day for that weekend to go rock climbing at an indoor sports complex .

 Their relaxed atmosphere made Gu Nianzhi feel very much at ease . She allowed her mind to go blank and not think about anything, closing her eyes to rest in the back of the car .

 When they alighted from the car, Gu Nianzhi saw Gu Yanran and Jin Wanyi waiting at the entrance of the courthouse .

 Gu Yanran looked extremely haggard . Even though she was still rather pretty, she was not as good looking as before . Jin Wanyi, however, looked normal as she stood elegantly at Gu Yanran’s side .

 However, the moment she saw Yin Shixiong open the door with Ma Qiqi in his arms, it was clear that her elegant expression fell .
