Xu Tingchuan understood Ni Sitian's thoughts and smiled faintly. She really was very considerate of her in-laws.
Actually, given the level of Ni Qianshan's abilities, the Xu family could probably handle the cases he committed.
However, Ni Qianshan is really a troublesome father, so it's good that he learned a lesson.
“This case just happens to be a way for Gu Chen to earn money for baby formula, which is something he’s good at.” Xu Tingchuan smiled and said to Ni Sitian, “Don’t worry, the sentence won’t be too harsh.”
“Gu Chen’s caseload is almost booked until next year. A top lawyer like him handles cases involving hundreds of millions of assets. Wouldn’t this be too simplistic for him? Maybe we shouldn’t bother him. We can just find a lawyer from his firm who specializes in economic cases,” Ni Sitian said.
"I'll do whatever you say." Xu Tingchuan originally thought that Ni Sitian was genuinely worried about Ni Qianshan, which was why she wanted to ask Gu Chen for help. However, judging from her tone now, it seemed that wasn't the case. It was probably because Ni Qianshan's faking illness to swindle money had hit her too hard, and she had truly severed all ties with her father. Finding her a decent lawyer was already more than enough.
Ni Sitian lowered her eyes and pursed her lips tightly. She was thinking about Gu Linping's diary and whether she should look for clues about her biological father.
In fact, Ni Qianshan is right. This so-called biological father has never appeared. Perhaps he doesn't even know that she exists in the world, or perhaps he knows but doesn't want her.
Both answers are quite ironic and cruel.
The car stopped at the garage, and Xu Tingchuan drove Ni Sitian home.
Seeing that it was getting late, I made her a bowl of noodles and said, "I have things to do now. If you feel unwell, call me immediately. I'll bring you something nice to eat when I get back tonight. Just text me what you want to eat."
"Am I a pig? All I do is eat all day long." Ni Sitian pouted. She had been fed until she was round and plump.
Xu Tingchuan chuckled: "So, do you want to eat it or not?"
"Yes, preferably a serving of crystal steamed dumplings, a serving of sausage rice noodles, and Lao Li's radish cake." Ni Sitian immediately brought out a bunch of food.
"Foodie." Xu Tingchuan cupped Ni Sitian's cheeks and gently rubbed them, then lowered his head to kiss her pouting lips before reluctantly letting go, grabbing his coat, and heading out.
Ni Sitian was left alone at home again. She finished her fragrant egg noodles and sat back in her chair for a while, satisfied.
She thought about it and decided to wait a couple of days until the pregnancy was more stable before going to the house to get that thing. After all, she would eventually have to find out and face it.
Ni Sitian put aside her random thoughts for the time being, sat down on the sofa, picked up her iPad and opened Weibo. She hadn't logged in for quite some time.
After reading some comments from fans calling for a new story, I cleaned up some inactive followers and then checked my private messages.
Her last private message was from Zhi Lan, which was last year. Back then, Zhi Lan was still very happy and sent her a link to a collection of handsome men. They had a very unrestrained discussion and evaluation in their private messages.
Ni Sitian flipped through the records, sighed softly, pursed her lips, and sent a private message with a glimmer of hope.
Zhi Lan used to love using Weibo and was always logged in. Unless she went to a place with no signal, she could reply to every comment or private message instantly.
After Ni Sitian posted it, I waited expectantly for one second, two seconds, one minute, two minutes, one hour...
She received no reply in the end, shook her head, and put the iPad aside.
