"By the way, what happened to my aunt? She has always been devoted to scientific research, how could she get into such a thing?" Bai Shuang was puzzled. "My father's matter is his own fault, but aunt...?"
Bai Shuang's voice lowered. Although he knew that his father had done something unforgivable, seeing his father who loved him very much die in front of him, he must be lying if he said he wasn't uncomfortable.
In fact, Bai Jinyi has always been a role model for the children of the Bai family. Growing up, the words they heard the most were, "Look at what your aunt is doing..."
Bai Yueran also sighed and held Bai Shuang's hand: "There's nothing we can do about it. There are too many people in our Bai family. Although everyone is backed by the family tree, they also have their own little calculations. There's nothing we can do about it." Covering everything. I won’t talk about the second uncle’s matter, it’s over anyway. But my aunt... My father and I have asked her repeatedly before if there is anything we don’t know, but she said no or refused to tell us. To be honest. I was caught off guard by the Huo family. Mr. Huo and I were still colleagues, and we met each other without looking up. What can I do? "
Bai Shuang nodded with deep understanding: "If that's the case, then my aunt is indeed not very authentic."
You can't just expect the family's protection when something goes wrong, and do whatever you want when nothing happens.
If this continues, no big family can withstand such a torment.
"It's best if you think so." Bai Yueran patted Bai Shuang's shoulder, "You have to remember, if you have anything, you must tell me. If I'm not here, tell my parents, don't tell me. Mom and dad love you just as much as they love me, we are all a family, and we will not ignore you."
Bai Shuang nodded excitedly, his voice choked with tears: "Cousin..."
"You should rest, I'll call Third Uncle." Bai Yueran got up and went back to his study.
She dialed Bai Changhui's number and asked very calmly: "Third uncle, is Jin Wanyi the lawyer you hired for your aunt?"
Bai Changhui smiled awkwardly: "You know?"
"Well, of course I know. She complained to the brains of our Special Operations Department. This kind of legal issue must be handled by our Legal Affairs Department. - Third Uncle, do you know that I am the director of the Special Operations Legal Affairs Department?" Bai Yueran expressed his attitude in a very embarrassed manner, "Third uncle, please give me some face, okay?"
Bai Changhui's face turned purple with anger, but what Bai Yueran said made sense.
"Okay, I can ignore it for now, but tell your dad, do you care about your aunt's case?!"
"Aunt and we are family members, of course we will help her. But the premise is that aunt must tell us the truth." Bai Yueran's voice turned cold, "If she keeps hiding anything, even if my father takes the position of prime minister, We can’t save her.”
Bai Changhui was shocked and suddenly realized that he was too careless.
Yes, the Bai family's greatest hope now lies in his eldest brother Bai Jiancheng.
Bai Jiancheng is now just the Minister of Administration. Although he is the first person in the cabinet, he still has a minister above him.
This Prime Minister is the real brains of the empire. In terms of nominal status, the Prime Minister is inferior to the Supreme Commander of the Military Department, General Ji, and Speaker Long of the Upper House of Parliament.
"I understand, Yueran, the third uncle is too impulsive and he is not as calm as you." Bai Changhui praised Bai Yueran with emotion.
"Third uncle, thank you. Please tell Jin Wanyi not to be too aggressive first. She can't shake Mr. Huo. Just let her do her duty as a lawyer and don't add drama on her own." Bai Yueran was not very satisfied with Jin Wanyi's approach, but they We need a lawyer, but there is no one else to choose from, and Jin Wanyi has already appeared in front of everyone, so let her do it for the time being.
When Bai Changhui learned about Jin Wanyi's message to the Special Operations Department, he was speechless and said with a smile: "I really didn't know she was so stupid and bold. Forget it, since you are the one who takes care of it, the third uncle will definitely give you face. Don't worry, no. It will cause you trouble."
Bai Yueran settled Jin Wanyi's matter with just one phone call, and she immediately called Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng was knocking on the door of Gu Nianzhi's bedroom. He heard his cell phone ringing. He took it out and looked at it, then put on his Bluetooth headset and said to Zhao Liangze on the other side of the phone, "Take it over."
Bai Yueran's call was connected, and she said sincerely to Huo Shaoheng: "Master Huo, the matter of Lawyer Jin has been settled. She is the lawyer hired by my third uncle. She may be a little anxious. She is not a bad person and has good professional qualities. She has a relatively upright personality, and I hope Mr. Huo will not have a bad feeling towards her because of this. She is just a small lawyer and has no intention of going against Mr. Huo."
"Yes." Huo Shaoheng responded calmly, "Just solve it. This is what your legal department should do. Is there anything else?"
"No, I wish Mr. Huo a happy new year." Bai Yueran smiled and hung up the phone.
Huo Shaoheng continued to knock on the door twice, but when Gu Nianzhi still didn't open it, he took out the key and calmly opened Gu Nianzhi's bedroom door.
Gu Nianzhi sat by the window hugging his knees and raised his head in surprise, "How could you open it?! I obviously locked it!"
"Come here." Huo Shaoheng closed the door and stood by the door without taking a step forward. He looked at Gu Nianzhi with a stern look on his face.
Gu Nianzhi mustered up the courage to refuse: "... No!"
"Come here." Huo Shaoheng's voice gradually became deeper, "Don't make trouble."
"It's too late, there's already a fuss!" Gu Nianzhi said angrily, opening the curtains and hiding himself behind the floor-length light green brocade curtains.
Huo Shaoheng raised his lips in laughter, but still stood motionless at the door of the room, with his hands in his pockets: "Unless you have a reason approved by me, otherwise, if you make trouble for one more minute, the ten-kilometer cross-country obstacle course will be added to one kilometer."
"Why?!" When Gu Nianzhi heard this, he almost rolled down the window sill, rushed to Huo Shaoheng, clenched his fists: "Liar! Mr. Huo is a liar!"
"Liar?" Huo Shaoheng looked down at her calmly, "When did I lie to you?"
"Still saying no?! How did you promise me last night?" Gu Nianzhi didn't know why. She was very unhappy. The two of them were so intimate last night and he kissed her until she fell asleep. But today she was fine. , stood nearby and watched her jokes...
"What did I promise you?"
"You said you would stay with me until dawn!" Gu Nianzhi stretched out his finger and tapped Huo Shaoheng's heart, "But where are you? Where are you when I wake up?"
Huo Shaoheng sighed in his heart, it turned out that his little ancestor was having trouble over this matter...
He reached out his hand, touched Gu Nianzhi's head, and then stroked her length.
No matter how angry Gu Nianzhi was, he was soothed and submissive when he used this "touch on the head to kill", and he instantly showed a comfortable and comfortable expression like a little kitten. His big eyes were narrowed to a slit, and he was almost "meowing". Call out.
"I will indeed accompany you until dawn." Huo Shaoheng showed a sincere expression, "If you don't believe me, look at your phone? I even answered a call for you at six o'clock in the morning."
"...Really?" After Gu Nianzhi got up in the morning, she did not look at her phone. She was busy washing and getting angry...
I ran back to my bed, picked up my phone and took a look. There was indeed a call at six in the morning. It was from Brother Ozawa. Before that, not long after midnight, there was another call from Professor He!
Both calls appear answered.
Then there are still some unheard messages in the message mailbox.
"Did you see it? If I stay with you until six o'clock in the morning, does that count as staying with me until dawn?" Huo Shaoheng stared at Gu Nianzhi's drooped neck. It was white, tender and delicate, as long and beautiful as a swan. There was a star on the back of the neck near the shoulder. Tiny rouge mole.
Gu Nianzhi didn't think much, nodded quickly, and then opened the message mailbox to listen to the unheard messages.
These messages included New Year's greetings from her college roommate, New Year's greetings from Brother Ozawa and Brother Nobita, and even a message from Mei Xiawen!
Finally, she heard the message from He Zhichu, saying that something happened and asking her to go to school early...
Gu Nianzhi suddenly jumped up: "This is a message from several days ago, why am I only seeing it now?!"
"Who knows? Maybe Telecom went crazy." Huo Shaoheng did not hesitate to put the blame on Telecom Group.
"It's too much! It's been delayed for so many days! I'm going to complain to them!" Gu Nianzhi was furious and was about to call He Zhichu.
Huo Shaoheng pressed her phone and said, "Today is New Year's Day. Your Professor He must be on vacation with his family. It's better not to disturb him and call again tomorrow."
This reason is very good. Gu Nianzhi knows that He Zhichu grew up abroad and should pay great attention to his personal time.
"Okay, let's call again tomorrow. Anyway, it won't be another day." Gu Nianzhi smiled mockingly and put the phone back.
Huo Shaoheng bent one leg, leaned against the door leisurely, and said calmly: "You got angry at me for no reason today, so let's just forget about it?"
Gu Nianzhi's heart tightened. She felt guilty and did not dare to look at Huo Shaoheng. Hehehe pretended to be stupid and changed the subject: "... Mr. Huo, do we want to go out to play? Today is New Year's Day... "
"Going out to play? You're done with your temper and feel happy, but I'm not." Huo Shaoheng raised his head and gently raised his delicate chin in front of Gu Nianzhi, almost dazzling her eyes.
Gu Nianzhi must not be allowed to develop a habit of losing his temper at every turn.
Gu Nianzhi was very surprised when he heard this. The point was completely wrong: "Eh? Mr. Huo, are you angry too?!"
Huo Shaoheng: "..." He turned around and opened the door to go out.
Really angry
Gu Nian was so anxious that he rushed over and hugged Huo Shaoheng from behind.
Huo Shaoheng stiffened for a moment, pulled Gu Nianzhi's arm away, and turned to face her: "...Don't do this again."
"Definitely not." Gu Nianzhi shook his head like a rattle.
"I said, I will definitely do what I promised you." Huo Shaoheng patted her cheek, "You must believe me."
Gu Nianzhi nodded repeatedly and simply leaned into Huo Shaoheng's arms. Sadly, he discovered that for the first time and probably the only time he had "relying on pampering" in front of Huo Shaoheng, he failed...
The two cuddled quietly for a while until Huo Shaoheng heard Zhao Liangze's voice coming from the Bluetooth headset again.
"Master Huo, the Prime Minister's eldest son Dou Haoyan asked Master Huo to take Nianzhi to his house for a banquet tonight." Zhao Liangze was also a little puzzled. They had always kept a respectful distance from the Prime Minister and had never crossed paths.
&nbinuteInvitation, if it is a very important guest, this is generally not the case.
But there are also special circumstances. For example, this dinner for the eldest son of the Xiang family has just been decided, and all the guests have been invited temporarily.
"Well, I'll go." Huo Shaoheng did not refuse, "Who else is there? Do you have the whole list?"
"I just got it. I'll bring it to Mr. Huo right away." Zhao Liangze dug out the list of all the guests invited by the Prime Minister for today's dinner and gave it to Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng hung up the phone and said to Gu Nianzhi: "You pack up and follow me to attend the dinner of the eldest son of the Xiang family in the evening."
Of course, Gu Nianzhi would not miss any opportunity to be with Huo Shaoheng. He hurriedly agreed and began to look for matching clothes, shoes and bags in his wardrobe.
…
At this time, Bai Changhui was also on the phone with Jin Wanyi: "Lawyer Jin, I got you an invitation to the New Year's Day dinner of the eldest son of the Xiang family. Do you want to go?"
Jin Wanyi originally wanted to refuse, but Bai Changhui said again: "Huo Shaoheng will go today too."
"I'll go." Jin Wanyi was overjoyed and agreed immediately.
Although Bai Changhui had asked her not to go against the Special Operations Department, she was not willing to give in. She had to see Huo Shaoheng with her own eyes before she could decide what to do next.
