C294 We're in the Same Boat

Tao Ning could clearly feel a pair of burning eyes on her the moment she appeared in court. She glanced at it indifferently. She did not expect Gu Zhengchu to actually sit in the audience seats. If she did not appear today, she would really be letting him down.

From the way he looked at her, Tao Ning could see a different kind of smile in his eyes. It was similar to mockery, but also not like mockery. Perhaps it was strange that she could attend such an occasion with heavy makeup?

But she had to put on makeup because her face had already become very pale before she went out. She did not want to reveal her illness in the first match. Gu Zhengchu really wanted to see her extremely fragile appearance, but she just wanted to let him see her tenacious side.

She wouldn't fall, and she had to win this battle no matter what.

But even though her belief was so firm, in the words of all sides, Tao Ning still felt dizzy and very uncomfortable. She just forced herself to hold on. She did not want to fall down. As for what the two sides had said... She did not hear it clearly.

After that, she learned from Fei Aoting that the two parties had their own excuses and could not argue, so there was no conclusion. During this period of time, both parties had to gather evidence and wait for the next hearing.

Fei Aoting was the only one who could see that Tao Ning's body could not take it. After the hearing ended, she immediately went forward to support Tao Ning. Tao Ning slowly moved her feet under her support. Only then did Gu Zhengchu, who was far away, notice Tao Ning's unusual behavior today. She was clearly wearing flat shoes, but she still had to be supported by someone before she could start moving. What was going on?

Was she hurt?

There was a long stone staircase outside the court and Tao Ning was struggling to walk. Fei Aoting saw it and asked, "Miss Jiyue, do you need me to carry you?"

"No need, I can walk on my own." After Tao Ning said that, she bit her lips and continued to walk down step by step.

She could finish walking on her own, as long as she was willing to persist. Tao Ning was hypnotizing herself in her heart like this, but she did not know that she was behind her. A tall figure had already walked over and stopped beside her. A sound came from her nose.

"You're already like this on the first day? Are you sure you can hold on for so many days in the future?"

He didn't need to raise his head to know what kind of face the person who spoke would have.

"I don't need you to worry about my own matters. If Young Master Gu has so much time, just think about how to win this lawsuit." Tao Ning replied calmly.

Although she was confused by what she heard just now, she could still tell that his side was at a disadvantage. Otherwise, why would the lawyer, who was more than ten years older than Du Kai, have a red face during the debate?

In fact, she did not think that there was anything to be proud of. But since Gu Zhengchu wanted to make fun of her, how could she not take out something to return the favor?

"From what you said, you want me to win the lawsuit? You want your father to be imprisoned? I didn't expect you to be such a filial daughter. " Gu Zhengchu let out a mocking laugh.

"You..." Tao Ning felt pain in her heart when he mentioned her father. She lost control of her emotions. "Gu Zhengchu, you son of a b * tch. You used my father to deal with me. You are despicable and shameless."

If he did not tempt her father to sign such a contract, her father would not have gotten into such a lawsuit. How could he have left his hometown now?

Now, the culprit was standing in front of her. The more he talked, the more arrogant he became. It was unbearable.

"Why don't you say that your father is stupid and that he is so easily used?" Gu Zhengchu curled his lips, and the mocking smile on his face became even stronger.

The anger in Tao Ning's heart was immediately ignited by these words. She turned her head and slapped Gu Zhengchu without hesitation.

Gu Zhengchu seemed to have expected this and firmly blocked Tao Ning's hand. He waved at her with his face full of ridicule. "With your strength, you should save it and go home!"

When he finished speaking, Gu Zhengchu shook Tao Ning's hand away. Because he was angry in his heart, he used too much strength in his hand. Tao Ning staggered and fell down. Almost at the same time, Gu Zhengchu reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist to help her stabilize her body.

Fei Aoting's expression changed when she saw this. She immediately went forward to support Tao Ning and angrily scolded Gu Zhengchu, "Gu Zhengchu, you are too much. You clearly know that Miss Jiyue is carrying a child but you still treat her like this?"

"If it was not for Young Master Gu just now, Miss Tao Ning would have fallen down." At this time, Anjie who was beside her spoke up.

He had clearly seen what had happened just now. It was Tao Ning who had come first to hit Young Master Gu. Although Young Master Gu had shaken off her hand, however, when he realized that she was about to fall, he still helped her up in time. Otherwise, Tao Ning would not have known what she looked like now.

"Did I ask you to speak? A pair of master and servant who have no humanity." Fei Aoting scoffed at the two of them. She carried Tao Ning on her back and quickly left.

Anjie originally wanted to reply, but when the words were about to come out of his mouth, he held it back. Fei Aoting had already gone far away, so it would be meaningless for him to say anything else.

"Anjie, I didn't think that the two of us would have the same fate." Gu Zhengchu gave a self-deprecating smile.

Tao Ning hated him so much, and Fei Aoting hated Anjie so much. It was obvious.

"How can I be compared with Young Master Gu? It's not like Fei Aoting and I have anything to do with each other." After Anjie heard this, he quickly retorted.

This was also the truth. Young Master Gu and Tao Ning really did have something between them, but he and Fei Aoting had nothing at all. They were two completely different people.

"If that's the case, then you seem to be the one who is more pitiful!" Hearing this, Gu Zhengchu looked at Anjie who was next to him again. When he nodded in agreement with him, he could not help but look at him with sympathy.

He could see that Anjie still wanted to have something with Fei Aoting, but now Fei Aoting hated him to the core. He had no chance at all, just like how he hated Tao Ning.

Did he really do something wrong? He and Tao Ning had actually reached such a step.

After Fei Aoting carried Tao Ning onto the car, she immediately got someone to drive Tao Ning to the hospital. When she was sure that Tao Ning only had some fetal Qi and was not seriously injured, she then let out a sigh of relief.

Seeing that she was so nervous about herself, Tao Ning could not help but laugh, "Aoting, you seem to be very concerned about the matter of me carrying a child."

She carefully thought about it. When Fei Aoting was by her side, she would always remind her to be careful of her stomach and seemed to be especially concerned and nervous about her stomach.

"Because I heard that pregnant women need to pay attention to a lot of things but you did not pay much attention to Miss Jiyue. That's why I paid special attention to them for you." After Fei Aoting said this, she quickly felt that something was not right. She hurriedly explained," Miss Jiyue, I don't mean to scold you... "
