C312 Pretending to be Innocent

This should be the fastest, most awkward, and most reluctant breakfast she ever had, right?

Placing the chopsticks on the table, Tao Ning took a deep breath, as if she had just returned from a jog, "I have finished my breakfast!"

"You think you can get so tired from eating?" Gu Zhengchu looked at Tao Ning who was breathing heavily and sighed. "Is this how you eat in the Wei family? To think that you are still Celebrity. How can you still look like Celebrity?"

Her words were filled with ridicule. Tao Ning could hear it clearly but she seemed to ignore it. "I did not. Are you alright? Where is my father? Hurry up and let him go. Don't play tricks on me anymore!"

If it wasn't for her father, would she have stayed here and shared breakfast with him? Would she still be mocked by him?

"Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't finished eating yet!" Gu Zhengchu leisurely moved the chopsticks in his hand, looking like he was in no hurry at all.

Looking at his bowl again, he hadn't even taken a few bites. He hadn't eaten much at all just now, right? They were all observing how she ate, and then thinking about how to mock her.

This bastard, he's purposely punishing her now, right? The anger in Tao Ning's heart kept rising. Being suppressed by her hard work, she felt that it was getting harder and harder.

She finally could not bear it and got up to say, "Then you can eat slowly. I will not accompany you!"

Finishing, Tao Ning moved the chair away and walked towards the door.

"Do you think you can go out?" Gu Zhengchu did not even raise his head and continued to lazily enjoy the delicious breakfast.

The housekeeper had locked the door when she entered. Of course, she knew about this, so she did not want to escape.

"Who told you I wanted to go out? I just wanted to walk around the yard and get some fresh air. You don't even allow it here, do you?" Tao Ning turned back to look at him and the corner of her mouth slightly twitched.

"Of course not. You can walk around freely." The smile on Gu Zhengchu's face slowly spread.

As long as she was still in his territory, he would not stop her from going anywhere she wanted.

With the hope of being lucky, Tao Ning still went to the door. She wanted to see if the housekeeper had locked the door. One had to know that the sky was unclear before, and the housekeeper was old and dizzy. If the door was not locked, she would go out and walk around. It was also good to take it as angering Gu Zhengchu.

However, she still underestimated the housekeeper. Although the housekeeper was old, he was still able to lock the door properly under such circumstances. She had nothing to say.

Tao Ning sighed in disappointment. She did not expect to hear Du Kai's voice after that. "Miss Jiyue, is that you?"

"Lawyer Du? You are right outside the door?" Tao Ning was a little surprised and went over to ask.

"Yes, that old man locked the door. I am very worried about you. Are you alright?" Du Kai's voice was clearly anxious.

It had been almost an hour since Tao Ning went in. There was no news during this period of time, and such a long time was enough for everything to happen. How could he not be worried?

"Don't worry. I'm fine, but I'll have to trouble you to wait a little longer, because Dad hasn't come yet." Tao Ning said in shame.

She had already eaten breakfast, but Du Kai was still hungry outside the door! Furthermore, from last night onwards, her plan had already dragged Du Kai down for an entire night. She had caused him to be unable to eat or rest. He even had to continue serving her like a servant. He felt extremely guilty in his heart.

"Why? Gu Zhengchu still isn't willing to let Mr. Tao go? He really broke his promise. " When Du Kai heard this, he cursed angrily.

"He should be here soon! But I can't say for sure." In front of that bastard Gu Zhengchu, she would never be able to show her confidence.

" Miss Jiyue, let him come. I have something to say to him. " While Du Kai was angry, he shouted that he wanted to see Gu Zhengchu.

Tao Ning knew that he was fighting for justice for her, but what Du Kai wanted to say was... She might not be able to do it in front of Gu Zhengchu, so she wanted to persuade Du Kai. But she did not expect that before she could say anything, Gu Zhengchu, who was in the room, would be called over by this voice.

"Which mad dog is making a scene outside? Butler, didn't you drive him away?" Gu Zhengchu walked over and turned his head to ask the butler.

"Gu Zhengchu, do you need to speak so badly?" Tao Ning looked at him with her eyes and her voice was cold.

"What good words do you need to say to a mad dog?" Gu Zhengchu walked closer and raised his hand, wanting to put it on Tao Ning's shoulder. Tao Ning reacted in time and moved to the side, avoiding his hand.

Gu Zhengchu's smile froze, and his hand stopped in midair. It was quite awkward.

At this time, Du Kai, who was outside the door, also recognized that it was Gu Zhengchu. He shouted angrily, "Gu Zhengchu, if you have the ability, open the door first. Don't lock the door!"

"Open it if you want to. Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Gu Zhengchu sneered and threw a glance at the butler.

The butler immediately understood what he meant and went forward to open the door. Du Kai was waiting outside the door, so the moment the lock fell, he immediately pushed open the door and entered. The butler was so scared that he took a few steps back.

"Gu Zhengchu, you actually dare to imprison citizens illegally. Do you know that this is against the law? If Miss Jiyue were to sue you, you could go to jail at any time." Du Kai faced Gu Zhengchu and warned him sternly.

"Can I ask who you are first?" Gu Zhengchu raised his chin, his eyes cold, as if he did not put Du Kai in his eyes at all.

"This is my business card." Du Kai suppressed the anger in his heart and handed his business card over.

Gu Zhengchu extended two fingers and put them in front of him to take a look. "Lawyer?"

No wonder he looked familiar with this person just now. He just couldn't remember where he had seen this person before. Now he finally remembered that this was the Du Kai who helped Tao Ning fight a few lawsuits and made his side fall into a disadvantage.

He was only a lawyer. Why would he appear here? He really could not understand. If he had not seen this business card, he probably would not have thought of such a person.

"That's right. Gu Zhengchu, it's been a long time. Are you going to see me in court now?" Du Kai stared at Gu Zhengchu and spoke rudely.

"In court? Why should I go to court?" Gu Zhengchu asked with a blank face. He turned his head and looked at Tao Ning, who was beside him. "I have withdrawn my complaint about your father. You still don't know about it?"

How could she not know? Furthermore, Du Kai was not referring to that matter at all when he said goodbye to her in court. She didn't believe that Gu Zhengchu couldn't understand her. He was just pretending that he didn't understand her.

"Gu Zhengchu, I am talking about going to court to sue you for illegally imprisoning a citizen." Seeing that Gu Zhengchu was pretending to be confused, Du Kai simply said it in a more direct manner.

"What? What did you say about me? Illegally imprisoning citizens? Have I ever done such a thing?"
