Gu Nianzhi shook his head and said listlessly: "...No."
"Then what's wrong with you?" He Zhichu's peach blossom eyes were full of concern, but the corners of his pursed lips looked extremely cold.
"It's okay, I feel depressed periodically. I'll be fine after a while." Gu Nianzhi was already familiar with He Zhichu's somewhat contradictory temperament of being cold on the outside and hot on the inside. He raised his head and tried his best to smile at He Zhichu.
"Are you on your period?" He Zhichu raised his eyebrows, "If you feel uncomfortable, you can rest for a few days."
Gu Nianzhi's head was covered with black lines. She didn't dare to raise her head to look into He Zhichu's eyes, and said awkwardly: "... No, that's not what I meant."
He Zhichu knew that he was wrong and was a little embarrassed. He got up and walked to the kitchen and brought a small plate of muffins over. "Eat some muffins. I remember you said last time that this brand is the most delicious."
Gu Nianzhi took a look and saw that it was her favorite brand.
She pursed her lips, reached for a piece, ate it slowly, and drank some warm milk. She felt much better.
He Zhichu could tell that Gu Nianzhi had something on his mind, but she didn't want to say it, so he stopped raising the issue and turned the topic to Gu Nianzhi's studies and work.
"Nianzhi, you are doing very well in your studies and teaching assistant work now, and you are very comfortable. Have you ever thought about finding time to work as an intern at a law firm?" He Zhichu took out a stack of cases and put them in front of her, "Have you ever If you take a quick look, there are cases not only within the Chinese empire, but also abroad. I hope that if you have time, you can try to pass the American Bar exam, so that you can apply for the American lawyer qualification at the same time."
This proposal is a good one. Gu Nianzhi already has the qualification to practice law in the Chinese Empire. If she can also have the qualification to practice law in the United States, she will have more employment prospects in the future.
Gu Nianzhi felt excited and said quickly: "Bars in the United States are divided by state. Many states require credits in the United States. I'm afraid I'm not qualified."
"New York State does not require credits earned in the United States. They also recognize foreign law credits. If you want to take the exam, send your transcript to their designated international transcript evaluation agency for evaluation, and convert it into equivalent American credits. It meets the requirements. You can take the exam after that." He Zhichu was very familiar with this topic and spoke in an orderly manner.
"That's it, I haven't thought about it carefully. But if Professor He thinks I can give it a try, I can go back and prepare." Huo Shaoheng is about to go on a mission, and Gu Nianzhi has more time. She also wants to find something to do. Keep yourself busy so that you don't have to think about Huo Shaoheng all day long.
"Well, your grades can definitely meet their requirements, and your English is much better than your classmates, just like your mother tongue." He Zhichu picked up his coffee and drank from the rising heat. Staring at Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi hesitated for a moment, remembering that He Zhichu had said that she would ask people related to her life experience. These days had passed and she had been waiting patiently, but there was no movement from He Zhichu.
She finally asked: "Professor He, last time you said... you want to help me ask people related to my life experience. I wonder what's going on now?"
"Do you really want to know?" He Zhichu lowered his eyes, not looking into Gu Nianzhi's longing eyes, "But your memory still hasn't recovered. Even if I tell you, will you believe it?"
Gu Nianzhi: "..."
This is a problem.
She knew that except for Huo Shaoheng, she would not easily believe anything others said, including He Zhichu.
But He Zhichu felt more and more familiar to her, and she felt more and more secure. Unknowingly, she trusted He Zhichu much more than she did at the beginning.
Of course, this kind of trust was not enough for her to believe every word He Zhichu said without reservation.
But it's always good to have more clues, right
She can analyze it by herself and draw conclusions with reasoning. Even if her memory cannot be restored, she can still know it in her heart. She does not want to continue to be like before, with her heart like duckweed, going around in circles, floating on the water without a foundation.
Gu Nianzhi took a few more sips of the hot milk. The warm milk warmed her stomach and calmed her down.
She raised her eyes and looked at He Zhichu steadily: "As long as you say it, I have the brains to analyze whether it is true or false."
Of course He Zhichu was not satisfied with this answer, but what could he do
We can only do it step by step.
It would be great if Gu Nianzhi's memory could be restored, but the medical conditions here are probably not enough for her to recover.
Anyway, she just needs someone who knows her identity right now, so she can follow the authority when it comes to emergencies, so let’s do this for now...
He Zhichu crossed his legs and sat on the large single sofa. He glanced at Gu Nianzhi, took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.
After dialing for a long time, the call was finally answered.
"Lawyer He, are you calling me at this hour? What's the matter?" Gu Yanran's slightly hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone, naturally carrying a bit of lazy charm.
He Zhichu looked at the call tracking and location display on his mobile phone and was a little surprised: "Are you not in the Chinese Empire?"
"Yes, I went back to Barbados the day before yesterday." Gu Yanran was lying on the bedroom terrace in Barbados, enjoying the cool breeze blowing to dispel the heat of the day, and she was actually in the mood to joke: "What's wrong? Lawyer He missed me?"
He Zhichu twitched the corners of his lips, and his peach blossom eyes flashed, "Well, I miss you. You are a big client of our firm, and everyone misses you."
Gu Yanran chuckled and pulled up her tropical-style silk robe, "Lawyer He, you have gone too far. It turns out that you don't miss me, but my business?"
"Miss Gu is so unreasonable to say that." He Zhichu's voice softened, no longer so cold and cold, and he showed a bit of courtesy to Gu Yanran that he didn't show to others, "We have known each other for so many years, whether it is a personal relationship, Whether it’s official business or not, I’m more familiar with it than others.”
"I know, that's why I dare to joke with Lawyer He..." Gu Yanran changed her position on the recliner and reclined, "Okay, Lawyer He, just tell me what you have to say."
He Zhichu nodded, "Well, then I'm not welcome."
He hesitated for a few seconds, then took out another mobile phone, pulled out a file from it, looked at the screen of the mobile phone, and said to Gu Yanran: "Miss Gu, seven years ago, you became a member of our law firm. As a client, you entrust our law firm to represent you as your lawyer to help you handle legal matters related to your sister Gu Nianzhi, right?"
Gu Nianzhi was still in the dark and didn't know what He Zhichu was preparing for.
It wasn't until He Zhichu said these words that she suddenly raised her head, subconsciously covered her mouth, and looked at He Zhichu in surprise. Her mind kept thinking about He Zhichu's words: "... I'll help you deal with it. Legal matters related to your sister Gu Nianzhi... Help you handle legal matters related to your sister Gu Nianzhi... "
Who is this Miss Gu
Could it be Gu Yanran
Gu Nianzhi remembered that Gu Yanran once told her personally that she had a younger sister, also named Gu Nianzhi.
She told Huo Shaoheng at that time, but after they checked, they found that they were not related by blood, so she didn't care anymore.
Anyway, there are so many people in the world, and it is not impossible for them to have the same name.
It's just that this sentence came from He Zhichu's mouth, and the meaning is different.
Because Gu Nianzhi had already preconceived the idea that He Zhichu should be an insider of her life experience.
So after going round and round, her life experience is still closely related to Gu Yanran
Gu Yanran was also a little surprised on the phone. She was wearing a headset and looked up at the starry sky at night in Barbados. Stars were twinkling on the dark blue sky. The wide-leaved tropical plants on the edge of the terrace were swaying quietly in the sea breeze. Not far away There was the sound of crashing waves and unknown insects chirping nearby.
She was sitting here alone, as if she was the only one in the world, and it was extremely cold up there.
"Miss Gu?" He Zhichu waited for a long time, but when he saw that Gu Yanran still didn't speak, he had to urge her again.
Gu Yanran came back to her senses and said quietly: "Yes, seven years ago, something happened to my parents, and I rushed to deal with it. My sister, who was only twelve years old at the time, stayed alone in Barbados, but disappeared while going to sea. I couldn't find her anywhere, so I entrusted your law firm to help me handle the relevant matters. Over the years, I have contacted many well-known detective agencies in the world and cooperated with the police in the United States and Barbados, but I still can't find my sister. traces."
He Zhichu smiled, his cold voice filled with unspeakable pressure: "Yes, Miss Gu, it's been almost seven years."
For missing persons, there is a completely different boundary between seven years and almost seven years.
According to the laws of many countries in the world, if a person has been missing for seven years, he can be regarded as a legally dead person.
The case of the disappearance of Gu Yanran's sister Gu Nianzhi has not yet been closed, but as long as she is not found after the seven-year period expires, the case will be automatically closed as her legal death.
