"I don't believe it." Gu Nianzhi blurted out, and then saw the pain and hurt in He Zhichu's eyes. She immediately felt guilty, knowing that she had spoken too hastily and decisively. He Zhichu had spent so much effort, and there was no credit or hard work. , why would she say something so hurtful
From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Dr. Doug's curious eyes fluttering between her and He Zhichu. He lowered his head, pursed his lips, and whispered, "Professor He, there is something I want to tell you."
Dr. Doug understood and immediately said, "I'm going to get off work. Do you want to go downstairs first?"
He Zhichu nodded, took back the blood samples, dental records, and today's test results from Dr. Doug, put them in the briefcase he had arrived with, and walked out with Gu Nianzhi.
The two of them got into He Zhichu's Maserati. Neither of them spoke at first, and the atmosphere in the car was tense for a while.
When the car got on the highway and merged into the river of cars, He Zhichu turned the steering wheel, looked ahead, and said coldly: "... Just tell me."
Gu Nianzhi: "..."
"Why didn't you tell me?" He Zhichu glanced at her, his face cold and cold, as if his good intentions were being treated like a donkey.
Gu Nianzhi composed himself, stroking his watch with his fingers, thinking about how to say something so that he could express what he meant without revealing what happened to Huo Shaoheng.
"Professor He, are you really sure that I am Gu Yanran's sister? But why didn't Gu Yanran take the initiative to check our relationship, instead of you, Professor He?" Gu Nianzhi finally decided to start with Gu Yanran.
Gu Yanran had met her and knew her, but he had never felt the slightest bit of sisterly affection towards her.
Again, she was rescued by Huo Shaoheng when she was twelve years old, not two years old. If she was Gu Yanran's sister, why didn't Gu Yanran show any signs of it
Apart from saying that she had a sister also named "Gu Nianzhi", there was no further content.
This question is quite acute.
He Zhichu was in a better mood. He glanced sideways at Gu Nian and said leisurely, "You know that I was the one doing the investigating, so you're not considered heartless."
Gu Nianzhi: "..."
Please Professor He, please don't be so arrogant!
Can you still talk properly? !
Gu Nianzhi turned his head away from the car window angrily, as if "If you don't speak nicely, I'll ignore you."
"What's wrong? Are you angry?" He Zhichu turned to look at her and reached out to rub her head, "The little girl still has such a bad temper..."
"Humph!" Gu Nianzhi pushed He Zhichu's hand away and said angrily: "Professor He, don't be conciliatory. You haven't answered my question yet."
He Zhichu smiled, took back his hand, continued to hold the steering wheel with both hands, and looked at the road ahead.
The expressway in the imperial capital was still congested at this time, and they couldn't drive very fast, as they were moving at a tortuous speed with the traffic.
A line of driving lights slid past, forming a corridor of light, filled with brilliant colors and beautiful scenery.
"Then let me ask you, why don't you believe that you are Gu Yanran's sister? For this information, I asked for the records from Gu Yanran's sister, Gu Nianzhi's previous family doctor and dentist. How do you explain that they have your blood samples? And dental records? Don't say I gave it to them, I can swear that I never did anything." He Zhichu said categorically, being more serious and cautious than ever.
Gu Nianzhi hesitated for a moment. If Huo Shaoheng said this, she would absolutely believe it.
But at the beginning of He, she was still in the stage of being dubious.
But it can't be said that she doesn't believe it at all. After all, during this period of time, He Zhichu has proven that he is also someone she can trust.
It is not easy to build the foundation of trust, but it only takes one thing, one word, and one opportunity to destroy it.
"But... but..." Gu Nianzhi hesitated, wanting very much to say that Gu Yanran was not related to her by blood, but if she said so, she would betray Huo Shaoheng's situation, so she absolutely couldn't say that.
My mind goes back and forth thousands of times, but it only lasts for one thought.
Gu Nianzhi finally found a perfect reason: "But Professor He, why do you want to verify the records of the family doctor and dentist? Why don't you directly verify the blood relationship between me and Gu Yanran? Isn't it easier and more direct? And it’s more convenient. You are very familiar with Gu Yanran and you are my mentor. As long as you get Gu Yanran’s blood sample or even a hair, you can do the DNA test immediately, right?”
Finally got to the point.
He Zhichu glanced at her appreciatively, tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, and said: "...Yes, why should I seek the far away from the near? Instead of directly verifying the direct blood relationship between you and Gu Yanran, I will verify the relationship between you and the Gu family." What about the relationship between Gu Nianzhi? Why? "
His voice was originally clear and cold, but when he spoke it softly, it had an indescribable low and gentle tone.
Gu Nianzhi's heart stirred, and his brain immediately started to work, and he murmured: "... Instead of verifying the blood relationship between me and Gu Yanran, but directly verifying the relationship between me and Gu Nianzhi of the Gu family, this shows... shows... I see!"
Gu Nianzhi's eyes lit up, he turned to He Zhichu and said eagerly: "Is it that Gu Nianzhi from the Gu family has no blood relationship with that Gu Yanran at all?"
Only this explanation can provide a perfect footnote for his initial actions.
So what He Zhichu always wanted to prove was that Gu Nianzhi was the missing Gu Nianzhi of the Gu family, not that she was related by blood to Gu Yanran.
Otherwise, why would He begin to abandon the near and seek the far away
He Zhichu looked at her with a smile, his gleaming peach blossom eyes had an indescribable romantic connotation, "Well, he's quite smart. He finally turned this hurdle around."
"But..." Gu Nianzhi was confused again, "If Gu Nianzhi and Gu Yanran of the Gu family are not related by blood, how did they become sisters?"
"What does this have to do with it? Who said we can't be sisters without blood ties?" He Zhichu sneered and tapped his finger on the steering wheel, "You don't need me to teach you this, right? Two sisters in a family are not related by blood, but they are still legally Family members, this kind of situation is not uncommon, right? Nianzhi, don’t tell others that you are my student in the future, it’s really embarrassing.”
Gu Nianzhi blushed a little. Her relationship with Gu Yanran had indeed gone astray.
He Zhichu's words seemed to open the door to a new world, making her eyes suddenly brighter.
Knowing that Gu Yanran was not related to him by blood, Gu Nianzhi felt as if a big stone had been dropped.
As for the legally recognized "sister relationship" that is not related by blood, it is nothing more than a few situations, either a sister relationship brought about by a second marriage, or a sister relationship brought about by adoption.
No matter what the situation is, they are not sisters related by blood, and there is no natural bond. She does not need to care what Gu Yanran can do to her.
Gu Nianzhi rested his chin on his hand, rested his elbow on one end of the car door, and said thoughtfully: "Then Professor He is sure that I am Gu Nianzhi of the Gu family? But they... why have they never found me?"
He Zhichu sighed, "Nianzhi, it's up to you to discover it yourself. I won't do this kind of useless work anymore, and you won't believe it anyway."
Gu Nianzhi knew that the "disbelief" she just blurted out still hurt He Zhichu. She retracted her hand, wrung her fingers awkwardly, and looked at He Zhichu timidly: "Professor He, I'm sorry..."
Gu Nianzhi is so cautious about looking at people's faces.
He Zhichu felt sad and didn't speak for a long time.
After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice: "You don't have to say sorry to me. Think carefully about what you are going to do and whether you believe the evidence or not."
Gu Nianzhi lowered her eyes and stroked the watch Huo Shaoheng gave her with her fingers again, unable to draw a conclusion for the moment.
She also wanted to talk to Huo Shaoheng about this matter.
The direction Huo Shaoheng and the others were looking for last time didn't look right.
They verified that Gu Yanran and Gu Nianzhi were not related by blood, so they thought she was not from the Gu family, so they did not follow the clue of Gu Yanran to continue their investigation.
But He Zhichu found another way, starting with Gu Nianzhi's childhood medical records and dentists, and found out that Gu Nianzhi from Barbados was the same person as Gu Nianzhi from the Chinese Empire.
If she is really that Gu Nianzhi, then how did she come to the Chinese Empire from the small Central American country of Barbados
Did she come alone or with someone else
These things lingered in her mind, like nodes in a fog, just waiting for the fog to clear and those nodes to be connected one by one.
He Zhichu said no more and drove the car back to University B in silence, sending Gu Nianzhi to the bottom of her dormitory.
"Nianzhi, I will give you a day off tomorrow. Take a good look at this information and digest it slowly." He Zhichu's voice softened, "But the sadness can't last more than one day. The matter has passed, and we can't pursue the past. It’s meaningless, what matters is how you choose in the future.”
Gu Nianzhi nodded, holding the things He Zhichu gave her, eager to return to the dormitory and contact Huo Shaoheng immediately.
She had a lot to say to him.
Looking at the back of Gu Nianzhi running into the dormitory building in a hurry, He Zhichu sighed. He leaned on the steering wheel and stared at the direction Gu Nianzhi ran in. He stared at it for a long time before starting the car and leaving.
…
Gu Nianzhi banged open the dormitory door and saw that Ma Qiqi was not in the room. She must have gone to self-study.
She breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, she really didn't want to talk to anyone anymore, except Huo Shaoheng.
After entering his room and locking it, Gu Nianzhi took out his cell phone and dialed Huo Shaoheng's private number.
The bell over there rang several times, but no one answered.
"What's going on?" Gu Nianzhi looked at his watch. It should be around seven in the morning in Barbados. According to Huo Shaoheng's work and rest habits, he should have already gotten up.
Gu Nianzhi had no choice but to call Zhao Liangze again.
Zhao Liangze quickly answered the phone and asked in a brisk voice: "Nianzhi, what do you want from your brother Xiaoze?"
Gu Nianzhi didn't care about joking with him, and immediately said: "Brother Ozawa, where is Mr. Huo? I have something very important to see him for."
"Master Huo? Master Huo has something to do." Zhao Liangze grinned so much that he asked, "What's the matter? Do you also need to check your attendance?"
"What's the Qin check?" Gu Nianzhi was worried, "Brother Ozawa, I really have something important to ask Mr. Huo! It's related to the Gu family in Barbados."
"Ah?" Zhao Liangze stopped smiling, "Really? What news do you have?"
"...It's the news from Professor He." Gu Nianzhi didn't say anything more to Zhao Liangze, "Hurry up and get Mr. Huo to answer the phone! I called several times, but no one answered."
