Xie Qingying had no idea that Assistant Yang had attended the past few hearings and had even spoken to Gu Nianzhi before.
She had thought that they did not know each other.
Out of courtesy, she looked at Gu Nianzhi and Huo Jialan, wanting their approval before introducing them to him.
Gu Nianzhi looked at Assistant Yang and remembered the fourth hearing when Xie Qingying and Xie Dezhao were her witnesses. Assistant Yang was not present. Therefore, he was able to pretend that he did not know her.
Gu Nianzhi did not wish to expose Assistant Yang on purpose, but every single time Assistant Yang was around, she felt like she was being picked on.
She did not understand how she had offended him, but she did not want unfair treatment.
Moreover, she did know him. There was nothing to hide. She did not like to be pretentious. Why did he have to pretend during moments like this?
