Gu Family’s mother said, "It was my fault that she lost her child. It’s natural that she hates me, but when she sees me, she shouldn’t be so indifferent."

When one person hates another, there are many ways to show it, but surely no one can manage to be so indifferent upon seeing the one they hate, almost as if they were invisible, unrecognizable.

"Child?" Lan Li asked, puzzled.

During this period, Lan Li had been in S Province all along. He was only aware of the Gu family’s Patriarch’s passing and Gu En being sued by the Zhou family, but he knew nothing of the rest.

It wasn’t just because of the lack of information from the military in S Province, but also because someone was monitoring him, preventing him from having too much contact with the capital.

After listening to Gu Family’s mother recount the events of this period, Lan Li’s expression became somewhat grave.

The two sat in silence in the car for a long time before Lan Li finally started the engine and drove back to the military base.

When He Zhilan returned home, He Teng was already there, but it looked like he had only just arrived home, still sweaty from one glance it was obvious he had just come down from the training field.

"Bro!" He Zhilan called out as she entered, took off her shoes and ran inside, playfully pouncing on He Teng. But in her haste, she ran too fast, failing to stop in time and bumped her forehead right into He Teng’s chest, turning a small patch of her forehead red.

"How old are you, still making such a fuss." He Teng quickly steadied He Zhilan, otherwise, who knows if she would have bounced back and fallen to the ground.

He Zhilan stuck out her tongue mischievously, watching He Teng with a stern face rubbing the spot she bumped as she still laughed incessantly, "Bro, I played all day today! Li Qian got dumped, last night he finished all our work! At noon, all of us went to Chen Cui’s house to have hotpot, in the middle of the summer heat, it was quite interesting! "

"Hmm." He Teng responded softly, listening to He Zhilan talk about her workday with her colleagues, he didn’t seem impatient at all.

About her work, the part of her life that he couldn’t participate in, he naturally was willing to listen if she was willing to talk.

"Chen Cui’s husband gifted her a doll, bro, you never gave me anything." He Zhilan stretched her hands out in front of He Teng, "Bro, you ought to give me something meaningful."

He Teng was taken aback. Give a gift?

That was indeed not a word in He Teng’s dictionary.

"What do you want?" He Teng scratched his head, "I’ll get my salary in a couple of days, I’ll give you the money and you can buy whatever you want."

"It has to be something you buy for me! Wholeheartedly! A gift!" He Zhilan pouted, "If I use your money to buy it, then it wouldn’t be a gift from you!"

"Making trouble for no reason," He Teng muttered under his breath, then urged He Zhilan to wash her face, knowing from the sweat on her face that she probably ran all the way home.

"How is it making trouble?" He Zhilan pouted, knowing from He Teng’s manner that he didn’t take her words to heart.

Indeed, expecting He Teng to be romantic, was like expecting a sow to climb a tree.

"By the way, are you going to dine with everyone in the canteen tonight?" He Zhilan asked, "The Gu Family people are still at the base, you’re supposed to go, right?"

He Teng nodded, "I’ll take a shower and change clothes before going over, I’ll try to leave early tonight, and remember to eat, don’t just stand by the window and daydream."

He Teng said as he headed toward the bathroom.

He Zhilan shrugged helplessly, eating alone at home was truly an unpleasant feeling.
