The Gu Family adopted a daughter, only to gain an enemy. After what she did, the Gu Family still sought out lawyers for her, trying to reduce her prison time as much as possible, yet Gu En ended up resenting the Gu Family’s decision to sever ties with her.

"Ungrateful wretch is an ungrateful wretch!" He Dongxue scorned, "That phrase was coined for Gu En."

He Dongxue only stayed with the military unit for two days before she and Lin Chan returned to the capital. In just a couple days, Sister Lin brought Fang Ran and Fang Yun back to the city, and only then did He Zhilan go back to the translation agency.

When He Zhilan arrived, Sister Lin, Fang Ran, and Fang Yun were already there. As soon as she entered, Fang Yun rushed towards He Zhilan and embraced her.

"I’ve missed you so much! You heartless thing, went off to the capital and didn’t even think to visit us!" Sister Lin raised her hand and playfully hit He Zhilan on the shoulder.

"Her? Infamous for being heartless. If she doesn’t have work at the translation agency, she won’t bother to get in touch with us and bond, always cooped up at her home, staying with her husband and son." Wang Juan teased.

"What husband and son?" Across the room, Fang Yun muttered, "When did Zhilan have a son?"

Fang Yun’s question left everyone dumbstruck.

Sister Lin looked at Wang Juan, puzzled, "Yeah, when did Zhilan have a son? How come we didn’t know?"

"Can it be?" Wang Juan gasped, "You didn’t know Zhilan has had a son for months? Wasn’t she confined after giving birth during the time after the New Year? Zhilan herself said so, that her son is already several months old!"

"What? That period of time she was..." The word ’miscarriage’ was not immediately spoken by Sister Lin, instead, she promptly turned to look at He Zhilan, "Zhilan, what’s this about you telling them you have a months-old son?"

While everyone talked, He Zhilan’s head had been lowered the entire time, and when Sister Lin called her, she showed no reaction.

After a long silence, as they all looked at her quietly, perplexity was written on everyone’s faces.

"Zhilan?" Wang Juan, with a look of concern, approached He Zhilan, but before her hand could touch He Zhilan, she suddenly stirred.

However, out of the blue, she raised her hands and grabbed her hair tightly, her whole body shivering, then, in the blink of an eye, she abruptly collapsed on the floor.

"Quick, to the hospital!" Sister Lin was scared and immediately told Fang Ran to start the car.

Fortunately, the hospital was not far from there. He Zhilan was quickly taken by the emergency doctor upon arrival, who, after hearing their intermittent descriptions, nodded and ushered the nurses away.

"Sister Lin, what on earth is going on?" Wang Juan was genuinely frightened by He Zhilan.

"She told you she had a months-old son?" Sister Lin held her forehead, "After the New Year, she went to the capital and then had a miscarriage. During that time, she wasn’t confined for childbirth; she was recuperating. Why would she tell you she had a months-old son?"

"It can’t be? Sister Lin, you’re not kidding us, are you?" Chen Cui was also taken aback, "She really said her son was several months old, often went shopping with me for toys, baby bottles, and told me how well-behaved her son was, how much he looked like her husband, and so on~"

"Now I’m really at my wit’s end~" Sister Lin shook her head, "You guys wait here. If she wakes up later, let’s not talk about the child in front of her for now. She must have been triggered by the child issue. I’m going to contact her husband."
