"Why do you want to see me after all?"
Gu Xinzhou struggled to remain calm, her clear eyes bright, her thoughts lucid, "You wouldn't happen to be trying to imply that the responsibility for taking the child away lies with the doctor, not with you, would you?"
Chen Shan's expression froze for an instant, "I don't know what you're talking about, I'm just telling the truth."
Gu Xinzhou raised her lips, revealing a stunningly beautiful smile, "You provoke me over and over again, is it because you want me to rush up and beat you up, and then you, the criminal, would become an innocent victim, while I, the actual innocent victim, would be turned into the abuser?"
Chen Shan: "..."
She had never imagined that Gu Xinzhou would see through every thought in her heart!
Her lawyer had told her just today, if she could provoke the child's biological mother into attacking her, it would make their extradition back to Italy on account of threats to personal safety in China more convenient.
Furthermore, should Gu Xinzhou assault them at the police station, the intentional injury would be witnessed by all, indisputable evidence!
On the other hand, they could deny the assault on George since, so far, no evidence could directly prove that the injuries on George's body were all caused by them.
Even George himself had said on many occasions, in front of foreign child protection agencies and the police, that those injuries were caused by his own falls.
Therefore, initially, Chen Shan dared not meet Gu Xinzhou because she feared saying too much and making more mistakes, which would be unfavorable to herself.
But now, her eagerness to meet Gu Xinzhou was to elicit the doctor and implicate Gu Xinzhou as well, turning herself into an innocent victim and clearing her name.
What she had never expected was that McDull would rush up, not Gu Xinzhou.
Chen Shan stared steadily at Gu Xinzhou.
She suddenly realized that this girl was not only beautiful but also intelligent.
Otherwise, under normal circumstances, more than half of the girls would have rushed up and fought with her to the death!
She sneered, "You're so composed. It seems that you don't care about George at all!"
Gu Xinzhou blinked, picked up the coffee in front of her and took a sip, put it down, her fingertips gently twirling the rim of the cup where her lips had brushed, in harmony with the flow of her thoughts, and spoke softly, "We don't have much time, but you haven't achieved your purpose today. You still have a lot to tell me, shall I say it for you?"
Chen Shan frowned warily, watching Gu Xinzhou without moving.
Gu Xinzhou never looked at her.
Fearing that a single glance at her would make her unable to restrain herself from rushing up and beating her, which would play right into her hands!
Gu Xinzhou articulated her thoughts with clarity, "You want to tell me that this matter isn't just between you and me, there's also an important doctor involved in the incident.
You also want to tell me that you have never had your own child after marriage and wanted to have one, but you had no means to do so, as orphanages in Italy didn't have suitable children with Eastern features.
At that time, a hospital just happened to have a doctor who approached you, saying the child's biological mother wanted to abandon the child.
It was a child born out of wedlock by a fallen girl who had no means to support it, and could only abandon it, so the doctor asked if you wanted the child.
Out of both pity and a strong desire to have a child, you innocently took the child, cared for it meticulously, and raised it with all your heart and soul.
You never expected that after all your hard work in raising the child, the child's biological mother would be ungrateful and even sue you.
You feel wronged and innocent, don't you?"
