"I do want to go~" He Zhilan curled her lips, her gaze drifting towards He Teng.

Lin Chan responded with an "Oh," "Husband’s got a tight leash, huh~"

"Sis-in-law seems to be kept on a pretty tight leash by my brother, huh?" He Dongxue covered her mouth and chuckled, "Bro, the more I watch you manage sis-in-law, the more it seems like you’re handling a daughter."

"Why so much chatter?" He Teng glanced at He Dongxue.

"But that’s the truth! Look, even how much sis-in-law eats is under your control. In the summer, she has to sneak around just to have a popsicle!"

"Dongxue!" He Zhilan covered her face and slowly moved away from her seat, giving He Dongxue a glare, "You’re really looking out for your sister, aren’t you!"

He Dongxue suddenly realized she might have said something she shouldn’t have.

"You’ve been sneaking popsicles? When?" He Teng immediately pulled back the escaping He Zhilan and pressed her back into her seat, "Didn’t I tell you that you can’t be craving cold things, that you can’t eat popsicles? Are you disobeying again?"

Although He Zhilan’s health had improved somewhat over time, she would still often end up in severe stomach pain, rolling around. That’s why He Teng strictly forbade her from eating popsicles.

"It was just that one time when I was out shopping with a few colleagues." He Zhilan snickered, trying to appease him, "Bro, just that once."

"Really now~" Lin Chan looked at He Zhilan and shook his head disapprovingly, "In this scorching heat, even a big guy like me loves popsicles~"

"Are you sure you’re a ’big guy’?" He Dongxue’s lips twitched slightly, "You love more than just popsicles! You adore ice-cream too! I’m beginning to doubt whether you’re actually a lost daughter in a man’s body!"

He Zhilan rubbed the tip of her nose and quickly changed the subject, "Bro has his reasons for not letting me go to the capital. I do want to mock Gu En, but, bro said that it’s best not to show up in front of Gu En right now.

If she goes crazy, who knows what she might do. After all, she knows my background."

"True enough." Lin Chan smoothly took up He Zhilan’s cue and nodded, "Lan Li went to see Gu En, but was infuriated by her. Gu En is just like a demon. You have no idea. In court, she was as calm as anything, showing not the slightest guilt in the face of accusations from the Zhou Family!"

"She must be full of regret now, cursing why that truck driver was so useless, not managing to kill me and Zhou Senior on the spot," said He Zhilan.

"You got it spot on. Expecting someone without conscience to feel shame is likely something we won’t see until she’s buried in the yellow earth," Lin Chan spat with genuine contempt and disgust for Gu En, "Speaking of which, the Gu Family really treated Gu En well when they adopted her. The food, clothes, and everything they provided were the best of the best. Publicly, they never admitted that Gu En was adopted; had it not been for the recent revelation, who would’ve known that Gu En wasn’t the Gu Family’s biological daughter?

Over the years, the number of mistakes Gu En made were not few, right?

And it was always the Gu Family that cleaned up after her.

Logically, Gu En should be grateful to the Gu Family for transforming her from a beggar that everyone could bully to a proud lady of the heavens.

But now, Gu En has the audacity to turn around and accuse the Gu Family of wrongdoing. "

Chen Yun had heard every word of the conversation that day between the Gu Family and Gu En, and later, he relayed it to a few close buddies. At that time, anyone with a conscience felt utterly chilled by Gu En’s words.
