He Yining suddenly heard someone calling his name and turned around in surprise.
It wasn't Xiao Xiao, or anyone she knew. She was wearing a neat, slim-fitting black suit, short hair, and a peaked cap. She was a dashing woman.
"Hello." The woman greeted proactively.
He Yining searched around in her mind. She could recognize her on the street, but the person she couldn't remember could only be her patient, but in her impression, she had never come into contact with such a person.
Seeing her confusion, the woman introduced herself, "My name is Hua Yu, hello."
"Hello." He Yining stretched out his hand nonchalantly, "Are you... my patient?"
Hua Yu smiled and said, "No."
"Then..." He Yining really couldn't remember.
"You may not know me, but I know you." Hua Yu made a gesture of invitation, "There are many people here, so let's talk somewhere else."
Seeing her hesitation, she showed her ID and said, "Don't worry, I'm not a bad person."
The two found a cafe to sit down and ordered two cups of coffee. Hua Yu got straight to the point, "I am from the Central Secret Service, responsible for secretly investigating Gu Zhenting's case."
"What's up with him?"
"We suspect that he is related to a case in which he colluded with a drug lord to frame his comrades and embezzled drugs. There is preliminary evidence that the Gu Group run by Gu Zhenting's eldest son Gu Yu relied on the support of this drug lord."
Framing a comrade?
He Yining suddenly thought of the conversation she had just had with He Wei, and she quickly took out the photo, "I wonder if this photo can help you."
Hua Yu took it and looked at it, and was immediately overjoyed, "That's great, we just need this, thank you."
Of course, He Yining hoped to help her. If Gu Zhenting was accused, he would not have the energy to take care of his father, and she would not have to be in such a dilemma.
"To bring down a high-ranking official like Gu Zhenting is not something that happens overnight. We hope that Miss He can cooperate with us." Hua Yu solemnly suggested.
He Yining had to become suspicious, "How are you sure that I will definitely help you? Since you have investigated me, you should know that I am the daughter-in-law of the Gu family."
Hua Yu smiled and said, "Of course I know, and I also know that you are different from that family."
He Yining frowned.
"Moreover, the reason why I found you is because I suspect that the case where your father He Wei was imprisoned back then is closely related to Gu Zhenting."
"Where's the evidence?" He Yining would not trust others easily, especially a stranger whom he met for the first time.
Huayu seemed to have expected that she would ask this question. She took out two photos, pointed at the people on them and said, "This is the person who bribed your father."
It was indeed him. He Yining would never forget this face.
"Look at this picture again. This person was photographed near the Gu family's villa."
Although it is just a silhouette, these two photos are indeed of the same person.
"Although I don't have definite evidence yet, as long as Miss He is willing to cooperate and we work together internally and externally, we will definitely be able to catch Gu Zhenting and send him to the Supreme Court."
Seeing He Yining's silence, she pushed a business card over the table, "There is my contact number on it. If Miss He figures it out, you can contact me at any time."
She stood up politely and said, "I bought you this cup of coffee. Thank you Miss He for sitting down and listening to me. I'm waiting for your good news."
After Hua Yu left, He Yining sat stiffly on the dim sofa. The light was very dim, and the expression on her face was changing.
Although what Gu Zhenting did made her very angry, he was Gu Nianxi's father after all. How could she deal with his father?
He Yining sat until dark, and the coffee in front of her had already gone cold. Just like her state of mind at this time, she was as desolate as being forced into a desperate situation. She looked around blankly, with no place to rest.
When she got home, He Yining was exhausted. Fortunately, there was Xiao Xiao's little persimmon. Although she didn't see him, she was sure that it must be a gift from him.
She held it in her hand and was reluctant to eat it. She counted them one by one, and there were exactly twelve. They had counted them together before the fruits were red.
The child didn't eat any of it, all was given to her.
He Yining felt pity and moved, what a silly boy.
She carefully packed the small persimmons in a safe, thinking that when Gu Nianxi came back, she would give a few to him.
But when she closed the refrigerator door, a feeling of melancholy suddenly surrounded her. Gu Zhenting's words tortured her everywhere like a magical voice, "You must divorce Xiaosi" "You must divorce Xiaosi"
He Yining covered her ears and lay on her back on the bed, shouting: "No, no!"
Just when she was irritated, there was a rapid knock on the door outside.
He Yining combed his messy hair, sat up from the bed and said, "Please come in."
A maid stood at the door and said respectfully: "Fourth Young Mistress, Madam, please go down and have dinner."
He Yining suspected that he heard wrongly, "Are you sure you called me?"
"Yes, Fourth Young Mistress."
In the past three years in the Gu family, this was the highest treatment she had ever received, and a servant actually came to call her to eat.
When the Weasel paid New Year's greetings to the Rooster, she had to doubt their motives. A little mental preparation was always necessary.
He Yining simply packed up and went downstairs. Sure enough, she saw a person she hated very much, Lin Yike.
She sat next to Mrs. Gu, smiling brightly. When she heard the footsteps, she immediately raised her head and said, "Doctor He, it's time to eat."
The tone was as if she was the owner here and she was the guest.
He Yining was not polite to her and responded coldly, "The Gu family's food is delicious food that you can't eat outside. Miss Lin is welcome to come as a guest often."
Lin Yike's face turned pale. He said this as if he was talking about the food.
He Yining had already sat down, waiting silently for the banquet to begin, and for the tricks these people would use at any time.
She was relieved that Gu Zhenting was not here. Except for Gu Nianxi, the other three sons were sitting at the dinner table.
When Gu Nai saw her, he gave her an elegant and gentle smile. His delicate eyebrows and eyes, and his elegance that was moist to the core, reminded her of the chestnut tree they once dated. She even suspected that the chestnut trees planted in front of Gu's house were...
Gu Nai is related.
She also nodded to him. They didn't need too many words, they could both understand each other's eyes.
When the meal was finished, Mrs. Gu finally spoke, looking at He Yining coldly, "Everyone is here today, and I want to announce something."
He Yining's heart tightened, and she intuitively felt that the news must be related to her. A pair of delicate hands were clasped under the dining table, and his eyes were still cold, making it impossible to see any emotional changes.
Mrs. Gu said slowly but resolutely: "From today on, Coco will be the wife of our mistress. When she gives birth to a son for our Gu family, she can officially register her marriage with mistress. As for you, He Yining, if you
If you can't give birth to a child for our Gu family before Coco, just pack up and get out, don't occupy the magpie's nest here."
Several complicated looks were cast at him, and He Yining suddenly felt that he had become the target of a shooting range.
