Chapter 1743: The Words That Shocked The World

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Liang Meili’s sudden words had shocked the world.

Gu Nianzhi finally let out a sigh of relief.

Her back was covered in a layer of sweat, and her forehead was also wet. The tip of her nose was facing the light, her sweat was like tiny, sparkling, diamond-like glows.

But in the end, the blame was still on the Qin family, and even on Qin Yaoguang!

Gu Nianzhi wanted to throw her head back and laugh.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t. She felt exhausted.

Liang Meili was not a smart person, and her IQ was lower than the average person. That was why she had to spend so much effort and repeated it over and over to make her talk. She almost had to point at her to make her speak and was at risk of being dissed by the judge.

Liang Meili finally thought of this excuse.

Gu Nianzhi raised her head and looked in the direction of Qin Yaoguang.

Qin Yaoguang was in a bad mood.

She sat in the dock and could not even put on an expression.

The lead lawyer beside her was stunned and at a loss for words.

What did Liang Meili mean?

Could there be an unknown ‘truth’ in the kidnapping case back then?!

Lawyer Qin stood up with a whoosh and shouted at Liang Meili, “Liang Meili! Did you know what you’re doing?! Not only were you suspected of perjury and obstructing justice, you even threatened my client in court! Do you treat the court as a bargaining market?!”

He turned to the courtroom and exclaimed, “Your Honor, Liang Meili, and Wen Dayou are no longer suitable to be prosecution witnesses. I request that they be expelled from the court and be sentenced for their crimes according to the law!”

Gu Nianzhi tutted and walked up to Lawyer Qin. She tilted her head and looked him up and down before she said slowly, “Lawyer Qin, Liang Meili, and Wen Dayou were important suspects in this case. Do you think they were the witnesses that I found?”

“Weren’t you the one who requested for them to testify in court?”

“Yes, why not? If you don’t understand, you could taint the witness.”

Gu Nianzhi smiled as she looked at Lawyer Qin’s face, which had turned from red to white. She glanced in the direction of Qin Yaoguang, “Ms. Qin Yaoguang, I advise you to tell me who Wen Shouyi’s biological mother was. Otherwise, if you hide it for others, you would be the one in trouble.”

Gu Nianzhi bowed to Qin Yaoguang as she whispered, “… Are you that selfless? If you tried so hard to protect her, it makes me even more curious about who Wen Shouyi’s biological mother was. Was it worth it for you to go to jail and not reveal her real identity?”

Qin Yaoguang stepped back in disgust and uttered coldly, “Don’t get so close to me. I feel sick just looking at you.”

“Yet you still gave birth to me? You must be sick of her mother,” Gu Nianzhi shrugged. Words like that wouldn’t hurt her at all.

At that moment, she felt that it was great that she didn’t have her memories from before she was 12 years old.

Without those memories, it meant that she didn’t have any burden of the past.

If she still remembered, she would probably have some longing and dependence for her mother’s love, right?

Qin Yaoguang’s attitude would hurt her a lot. Would it even become her greatest weakness as an adult?

Freud said that the character and behavior of an adult were all created when they were young.

When you were still ignorant and insensible, your behavior and life experiences were almost fixed in the same direction.

Gu Nianzhi had always felt that this statement was particularly irresponsible.

All bad habits and mistakes were attributed to childhood experiences. It was the subconscious mind of some western adults who were cowardly and evasive.

Lu Xun had said that a real warrior dared to face the bleak life and face the dripping blood.

This was the main difference between the eastern and western attitudes towards life.

Gu Nianzhi was, of course, a standard believer in the eastern attitude towards life.

She looked at Qin Yaoguang, her hands clasped behind her back, and smiled meaningfully, “Ms. Qin Yaoguang, are you going to say it or not? To be, or not to be. This is a Hamlet-like problem…”

Qin Yaoguang felt weightless as if she had stepped on-air and was falling from a height of 100,000 feet.

Her heart sank to the bottom of the valley. She was surrounded by impenetrable walls. There was no light or sound in the room.

She was alone in the darkness. She could not find a way out, nor could she see the direction.

However, she could not scream or call for help. It was just like how she had observed the two-year-old Gu Nianzhi in the surveillance video when she was locked up in the small dark room.

She closed her eyes and felt dizzy. Her face had lost all color as she vaguely thought about how Gu Nianzhi had walked out of the locked room when she was only two years old. She had even smiled at her and raised her hand to call her “Mommy” and allowed her to be hugged…

What had she done?

She slapped her to the ground and used a machine to test her brain waves, electrocardiogram, pulse data, blood pressure, and the healing of her injuries.

The fair and plump little girl was stunned by her slap. She sat on the ground and looked at her in a daze. Her small lips were slightly open, and the corners of her mouth were cut. Blood seeped out from her lips.

She was annoyed by her look and stepped forward to kicked her chest. She watched as her small body rolled under the table, hugged the corner of the table, and trembled. She would never climb out again.

This little bitch deserved to stay in the dark, just like her hateful father. She was like a rat in a ditch that everyone wanted to beat up.

Qin Yaoguang recalled the situation and gradually calmed down.

Opening her eyes, Qin Yaoguang stared at Gu Nianzhi. She thought to herself, bad things never die. From the age of two to six, this little bitch had been beaten up by her for all sorts of physical experiments, toxicology experiments, and pathology experiments. In the end, she was still alive and well…

And she grew up to look like this.

Qin Yaoguang was angry, jealous, and hateful at the same time. She tried her best to hide her true emotions, and the expression on her face almost twisted.

Gu Nianzhi saw that Qin Yaoguang did not say a word, and felt that she had not expected this much.

She rolled her eyes and walked back to Liang Meili, who was looking eagerly at Qin Yaoguang. She sighed calmly and told her, “Ms. Liang Meili, don’t expect Dean Qin Yaoguang to reveal the true identity of Wen Shouyi’s biological mother.”

“I think Dean Qin Yaoguang would rather you tell the truth about the kidnapping case than telling you who Wen Shouyi’s biological mother was. Then what were you waiting for? Tell me…”

“No, Dean Qin, as long as you tell me, I won’t say anything!” Liang Meili still had some fantasies about Qin Yaoguang.

Gu Nianzhi had no choice but to take drastic measures, “… Just stop asking. Dean Qin would take the secret to her grave. What did this mean? This meant that this biological mother must be a much better woman than you, so good that even someone of Dean Qin Yaoguang’s status would protect her.”

“She’s younger than you, prettier than you, has a better figure than you, is smarter than you, has a better career than you, is more capable than you, has a higher status than you, and is more powerful than you. She’s a fair, rich, and beautiful woman. That’s why your husband, Wen Dayou, was willing to give birth to a child with such a woman. He even adopted the child behind your back so that you could raise her like your own daughter!”

“Tsk, is there anything more malicious than this?!” Gu Nianzhi deliberately used the words that could pierce a woman’s heart the most.

This was especially true for women like Liang Meili, who were more traditional and did not read much. Men were their life.

Although they had the ability and opportunity to live independently, their thoughts were not independent. They could only exist if they were attached to men.

To Liang Meili, those words were like a nuclear bomb.

Her rationality and emotions had been dealt an indescribable blow.

Liang Meili’s eyes gradually turned red.

Her hands slowly clenched into fists as she walked out of her witness box.

The female bailiff next to her wanted to stop her, but Gu Nianzhi reached out to stop her and calmly said, “… I would take full responsibility.”

The female bailiff looked at the judge anxiously.

The judge was also in a difficult position.

Logically speaking, Liang Meili, as a suspect and witness, should not be allowed to walk freely in the courtroom.

But Lawyer Gu had a special intention, to find out the truth of the case.

Should he allow it, or not?

The things involved in this case seemed to be only the tip of the iceberg…

The judge thought for a moment, then silently lowered his head and carefully looked at the file in front of him. It seemed that many words had suddenly appeared there. He wished that he could take a magnifying glass to look at it.

When the female bailiff saw that the judge did not respond but was looking at the file, she slowly stepped back.

Since the judge did not express his opinion, she did not need to care.

Besides, Liang Meili was just an ordinary woman. If she had done anything out of the ordinary, the bailiffs’ tranquilizer guns would be useful.

The female bailiffs put one hand on the holster at her waist and nodded at Gu Nianzhi.

Gu Nianzhi smiled and winked at her, thanking her for her help.

By this time, Liang Meili was already in front of Qin Yaoguang’s dock.

Qin Yaoguang’s lead lawyer, Lawyer Qin, stood up nervously and went in front of the dock. He pointed at Liang Meili and warned, “What are you doing?! If you mess around, you would be getting extra charges!”

Liang Meili’s eyes were blank. She did not even look at Lawyer Qin who was blocking her way. With a strong wave of her arm, she pushed the tall and thin Lawyer Qin to the side.

Liang Meili was a gardener and did manual labor. Although she was much older than Lawyer Qin, her physical strength was stronger even Lawyer Qin could not compare to her.

Lawyer Qin glared at Liang Meili but did not dare to stop her.

At that moment, Liang Meili’s mind was only filled with Gu Nianzhi’s shocking words.

“She’s younger than you. She’s prettier than you. She has a better figure than you. She’s smarter than you. She’s more capable than you in her career. She has a higher status than you. She’s more powerful than you. She’s a fair, rich, and beautiful woman. That’s why your husband, Wen Dayou, was willing to have a child with such a woman. He even adopted the child behind your back so that you could raise her like your own daughter!”

“Tsk, is there anything more malicious than this?!”

Gu Nianzhi had only said that to provoke Liang Meili to get on bad terms with Qin Yaoguang and expose the truth about the kidnapping eight years ago. So that she could clear her father’s name, Gu Xiangwen who was also known as Lu Jin whose name was sullied by Qin Yaoguang.

But what she didn’t know was that Liang Meili took her words even deeper than most women could accept.

She had even found an imaginary enemy for herself without a teacher!

Liang Meili stretched out her arm while her entire body was trembling. She pointed at the impatient Qin Yaoguang and yelled, “… Was it you? Was it you?!”

“You are younger than me! More beautiful than me! Your figure is better than mine, your brain is smarter than mine, your career is more capable than mine, your status is higher than mine, and your power is greater than mine. You are truly a fair, rich, and beautiful woman. That’s why my husband, Wen Dayou, was willing to give birth to a child with a woman like you! You even hid this child from me and adopted it back, making me raise her as if she was my daughter!”

“… What could be more malicious than this?!”

Liang Meili shouted. Her words were sincere, and her face was covered in tears and snot.

The courtroom was silent. Even the judge, who had his head lowered and was reading the case file, could not help but looked up to see what was going on.

Gu Nianzhi was also dumbfounded.

What was going on?

Even though she said those words, but she would never have thought that what she had said would make Liang Meili think of Qin Yaoguang!

She looked at Wen Dayou, who held his head in his hands and looked unattractive. Then she looked at Qin Yaoguang, who was still beautiful despite her age. No matter what, she could not connect the two of them, let alone have a child together!

Gu Nianzhi subconsciously grabbed Liang Meili’s arm and mocked, “Ms. Liang Meili, you can’t say that. Dean Qin Yaoguang may be vicious and corrupt, but she would never be your husband’s mistress…”

Ms. Liang Meili was too good at flattering her husband.

Gu Nianzhi secretly ridiculed her.

Unexpectedly, Liang Meili pushed Gu Nianzhi away and pointed at Qin Yaoguang as she continued, “Lawyer Gu, you don’t know. It must be her! I have evidence!”

Evidence?!

Gu Nianzhi was instantly energized.

She was a very open-minded person.

If there was something beyond common sense, she would choose to believe it as long as it was based on facts, no matter how ridiculous it was.

Most importantly, it had to be based on facts, and that was the real deal!

This show was even more exciting than she had planned!

She quickly changed her train of thought and immediately questioned, “What facts? Ms. Liang Meili, could you tell me in detail? As long as what you said was true and supported by the facts, the judge would decide for you!”

Liang Meili only needed this bit of encouragement at this time.

Or perhaps these words and these doubts had been hidden in her heart for a long time.

In the past, she probably felt that it was too unbelievable and chose not to believe it.

At this time, she suddenly realized that her doubts had a practical basis!

Wen Shouyi was standing in front of her, the best evidence of her doubts.

Qin Yaoguang gritted her teeth.

Liang Meili was unbelievable. How did she come up with this idea?!

How could she be Wen Dayou’s mistress?!

Qin Yaoguang suddenly stood up and taunted, “Liang Meili! Don’t be crazy! I was your husband’s mistress? I’m not blind!”

Her falling for Wen Dayou was the biggest joke in the world!

Wen Dayou rushed over to pull Liang Meili away and chided, “Stop talking! There’s nothing between me and Dean Qin… You crazy woman, you only know how to mull things over!”

He raised his hand and slapped her without hesitation.

Liang Meili shrieked, “There’s nothing between the two of you?! Eight years ago, why did you sneak out to see her in the middle of the night without telling me?! And you said you didn’t have an affair?!”

“I, I, I… I was talking to Dean Qin about business!”

“Business my ass!” Liang Meili spat at Wen Dayou and turned to point at Qin Yaoguang. “Eight years ago, you sneakily went to talk to my husband in the middle of the night and you thought I wouldn’t know!”

Qin Yaoguang did not expect Liang Meili to know about what had happened that year. At that time, she had gone to look for Wen Dayou to plan the kidnapping of Gu Nianzhi. How could she be so dirty?!

But she was tongue-tied and found that she could not find the right words to refute.

She could only laugh coldly, “You must be dreaming. When did I talk to your husband in the middle of the night? Where’s the evidence? Don’t tell me what you said was the evidence!”

“I swear to God, everything I said was true!”

Liang Meili did not have any concrete evidence. She had secretly seen it all those years ago. At that time, she did not think about recording or video it, but now Qin Yaoguang was saying it was just empty words.

Liang Meili made up her mind and wanted to say it out loud, “You didn’t dare to enter the He residence so you looked for my husband and went out for coffee alone!”

“You asked us to help you kidnap Gu Nianzhi and said that as long as Gu Nianzhi was gone, my daughter, Wen Shouyi, could take her place!”

“… I must be blind! I believed you and that jerk!”

“What do you mean by my daughter?! She’s your daughter! And you wanted me to take the blame for your daughter’s future?! No way!”
