Bab 83: Chapter 83: This was found in the young madam's trash can.

Gu Nanyan abruptly turned her head, "I'm here, Zhou Dingjie."

Gu Nanyan's voice was very gentle, so gentle it was as if she were speaking to a newborn baby.

At the calling of his name by Gu Nanyan, the boy's eyes reddened.

It had been so long! It had been ages since anyone had called him by his name. Ever since his mother passed away, no one called him Dingjie, nor would they angrily call out his full name Zhou Dingjie.

His family would call him a "short-lived brat," either that or "half-dead." Later, after he ran away from home, the better people he met called him "kid," but most referred to him as a "son of a bitch" or a "bastard from who knows where."

With reddened eyes, he stared at Gu Nanyan for a while before saying, "Attorney Gu, I looked up the laws before I killed someone. You shouldn't get your hopes up, and you don't have to work so hard. I'm afraid you'll be saddened."
