Guo Huining felt depressed, she said unhappily, “I’m not related to him at all. Look at me now, he never thought of hiring a lawyer for me. He left me to fend for myself, and I even helped him with his business in the past.”
Huo Shaoheng observed Guo Huining’s expression and concluded that she wasn’t faking it.
It seemed like she really didn’t know about Guo Hongmao.
Guo Huining was angry, but she also said regretfully, “Actually, I’ve brought a lot of business to Jun Lin law firm in the past six months, but of course he doesn’t know me.”
“Although Guo Hongmao has only taken over Jun Lin law firm for a year and a half, his business is very big and he doesn’t need your help.”Gu Nianzhi pulled out the annual revenue of Jun Lin law firm from her phone, “Look, this is the annual revenue of Jun Lin law firm that was announced on the firm’s ranking list last year. With this number, the Guo family can easily enter the ranks of the rich and powerful.”
Guo huining stared at the ranking list, her body trembling, she said hatefully, “The way he’s acting, it’s obvious that he doesn’t acknowledge us. He usually doesn’t say anything when he’s free. Now That I’m in trouble, he won’t come out and acknowledge me as his niece.”
“You can’t say that, can you? He helped you set up a trap for Old Madam Hong.”Gu Nianzhi still remembered that old Madam Hong had once hired the law firm of King’s Landing to make an apology statement for her, in the end, she dragged her feet and even made Guo huining slap herself in the face with a video of her apology and confession.
“You call that a favor?”Guo huining sneered, but she was starting to get suspicious.

Dou Aiyan and associate director Jia had been the ones who had pulled the strings back then. Why was it related to Guo Hongmao?
“Didn’t you really want to join a rich family? Now that you have a chance, you might be one yourself. Why Don’t you care at all?”Gu Nianzhi asked curiously. It was hard to understand Guo Huining’s attitude.
How could Guo Huining Not Care?
But this uncle hadn’t had any dealings with the Guo family for so many years. How could she get close to him?
There had to be a reason..
Huo Shaoheng looked at Guo huining from the side. She didn’t look like she was faking it. She really didn’t know anything about this uncle.
He smiled slightly and continued Gu Nianzhi’s conversation. “Yes, although this uncle of yours hasn’t publicly acknowledged you, he hasn’t ignored you. He has helped you before.”
“Are you talking about Old Mrs. Hong?”Guo Huining didn’t think she was helping her at all. She was helping herself.
Huo Shaoheng calmly shook his head and said, “No, it was earlier than that.”
He paused and saw Guo Huining’s puzzled expression, he then continued, “More than ten years ago, when you just graduated from college, how did you think you would have the chance to meet a rich young master like Hong Ziqi? and the heir of the Hong family…”
Guo Huining’s eyelashes fluttered and her eyes blinked.
“What… What did you say? !”
Gu Nianzhi was also curious. “Oh right, how did you know Hong Ziqi? Did you go to the Hong Corporation to look for a job?”
Guo huining remembered that she had just graduated from college more than a decade ago.
At that time, she had also been hard at work looking for a job. Although she had graduated from a famous university, she did not want to start as a junior lawyer like her other classmates.
She was smart and capable. She had a lot of professional certificates in her hands and was full of hope, hoping that she could soar to the top.
However, without qualifications and family background, it would be very difficult for her to reach a high position as soon as she left school.
Unless she was extremely lucky.
Guo Huining had always thought that her achievements were the result of her own ability and heaven-defying luck.
Of course, her luck had been completely crushed when she met Gu Nianzhi.
However, at that moment, she was reminded that even the luck she had been so proud of was not hers. Someone had helped her.
She immediately recalled that when she had gone to the Hong Corporation to interview for the position of General Manager’s legal advisor, she had been dismissed from the interview.
In the end, a few days later, she received a call from the Hong Corporation. They said that the person in front of her had given up the opportunity and asked if she was interested in attending the second interview.
At that time, Guo Huining only felt that Joy had fallen from the sky. She couldn’t wait for it and immediately set a date for the second interview.
After that, everything went smoothly.
She got the position and got to know the successor of the Hong Corporation, Hong Ziqi. She got along well with him and soon confirmed their relationship. A year later, the two of them were engaged.
But that was it.
They had been engaged for more than ten years, but she still hadn’t been able to marry into the Hong family.
Guo huining spilled the beans and said excitedly, “What do you mean? Was it because of Guo Hongmao that I got a second chance after I failed the interview? !”
Huo shaoheng said lightly, “According to the information provided by the Hong Corporation’s HR Director, Yes. She said that there was a businessman surnamed Guo who was a big client of theirs. This person introduced you as a distant relative of his, so they gave you a second chance.”
The Hong family later saw that she was quite capable, so they tacitly acknowledged her relationship with Hong Ziqi.
Unfortunately, Guo Hongmao went abroad later on. After he returned, he no longer had any business dealings with the Hong Group.
After the Hong family had gained a better understanding of Guo Huining’s conduct, they did not approve of her marrying into the Hong family.
After Huo Shaoheng had raided King’s landing law firm and discovered Guo Hongmao, Guo Huining’s relationship with the Hong family had once again attracted his attention.
Huo Shaoheng had sent Yin Shixiong to look for Old Madam Hong and reinvestigate the entire case.
Guo Huining, on the other hand, knew nothing about all this.
However, when she found out, she was extremely agitated.
Her face was frighteningly red and her emotions were almost frantic. “If he was my uncle, why didn’t he contact me after so many years? !”
“If he didn’t want to acknowledge us as his relatives, why did he help me? !”
“Didn’t he know that if he raised me to the top and then left, he would crush me to pieces? !”
“With such relatives, who needs enemies? !”
Guo huining screamed hysterically.
Gu Nianzhi couldn’t take it anymore, she said coldly, “That’s enough! He helped you. No matter what the reason was, he had already given you a higher starting point than anyone else. You didn’t cherish it properly, yet you blame others for pushing you too high! Are you speaking human language?”
Guo Huining was embarrassed by her words, but she didn’t want to lower her head like this.
“Isn’t That So? ! If I hadn’t been favored by the Hong Corporation and had risen to such a high position so quickly, I wouldn’t have been so ambitious ! I would have been down to Earth ! But what about him ? He used this method to put me up so high that I couldn’t see myself clearly!”
Guo Huining was still speaking with conviction.
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
She stood up and said to Huo shaoheng, “Let’s go. I don’t want to talk to people like this anymore. In her eyes, the whole world revolves around her. Whoever doesn’t revolve around her is the one with a problem.”
“People like this are both delusional and crazy. If I talk to her too much, I feel like I’m going to become abnormal.”
