Part 2 Hello, Mr. Major General I'm Gu Nianzi

215. Sue me!

Gu Nianzhi and Brother Huang both nodded at Wen Shouyi, "Teaching Assistant Wen, thank you."
"Teaching Assistant Wen, this is my guardian." Gu Nianzhi introduced as she pointed at Yin Shixiong, who was standing beside her. Yin Shixiong was in disguise, appearing like a tanned, bushy browed, middle-aged man--just like when he met He Zhichu at C University. Wen Shouyi had some memory of him. She recalled that Yin Shixiong had come in to excuse Gu Nianzhi when she missed her interview.
She nodded politely, "A pleasure to meet you." She turned to lead them to a van and opened the door, "Come in, Professor He has made living arrangements for you." Wen Shouyi took the wheel and drove them to an apartment near Harvard. She rented two units here--a one bedroom, one living room for Brother Huang and a two bedroom, one living room for Gu Nianzhi and Yin Shixiong. It was very well thought out.
"Professor He asked you come over earlier, because your F1 student visa has academic credit requirements. You are actually attending the Harvard Law School as exchange students. Professor He will be teaching classes in July and August, so you'll be attending those summer classes to get six credits." Wen Shouyi handed them the class schedules.
Brother Huang furrowed his brows in bewilderment, "We still have to take classes for two months? Aren't we interning at the Congress?"
Gu Nianzhi gave him a nudge and spoke in a low voice, "The Congress is in recess from July and won't resume session until September"
Wen Shouyi patted Gu Nianzhi's shoulder with approval, "You're truly the top of the class, you've prepared well and even knew about the recess. This meticulousness is rare." She continued as she pursed her lips into a smile, "Professor He doesn't need to worry about you getting bullied because of your young age. Just looking at how clever you are, you'd the be the bully, how could anyone take advantage of you?"
Although it sounded like a compliment, her tone was twisted with sarcasm. Gu Nianzhi already had prejudice against Wen Shouyi since the incident before her interview. Now she was extremely cautious when it came to anything Wen Shouyi said. However, she didn't have to defend herself this time. With the protective and articulate Yin Shi Xiong at her side, Wen Shouyi could be taught a lesson at anytime.
"Teaching Assistant Wen was it?" Yin Shixiong rolled his eyes, "This is how you speak, as a law teaching assistant? Though I didn't study law, I can tell you were slandering Nianzhi. Know that I can sue you so badly you'd lose your job."
Wen Shouyi was dumbfounded, unable to believe someone would speak to her like that. She believed that aside from He Zhichu, no one in the world could disrespect her like that.
"Is that right? Then go on sue me? I'll wait for the court notice." Wen Shouyi never backed down.
Gu Nianzhi interjected with a smile, "Brother Xiong, you don't need the court to make her lose her job. Just directly tell her employer that she's purposely beating down on students. Professor He is a very fair person, I believe he'll find justice." She hit it where it hurt.
Wen Shouwi was fearless about everything, except for He Zhichu. Gu Nianzhi caught her expression change and despised her even more.
"...Miss Gu, I was just making a joke, I hope you weren't taking it seriously?" Wen Shouyi's palms were clammy as she endured the humiliation of indirectly apologizing to Gu Nianzhi.
Brother Huang was watching the drama unfold from the side. When he saw Wen Shouyi acquiesce, he gently tapped Gu Nianzhi to dispel the situation, "Ok, ok, all jokes here, let's not get too serious." He changed the subject, "Today's our first day in the States, where should we have dinner to celebrate?"
Wen Shouyi smiled and nodded at him in gratitude, "We've taken care of dinner and will have a car pick you up tonight." She nodded at Gu Nianzhi and returned to the car.
Gu Nianzhi spun the key in her hand and pouted at the disappearing car.
