"Pretending." Ding Jinshi coldly spat out a word, then leaned against Ding Long’s car and watched Lan Li come out in a rage.
"Brother Lan Li!" Ignoring what Ding Jinshi had said, Gu En ran up to Lan Li in a few steps, her face slightly worried, "How is He Zhilan? Is she okay?"
"Gu En." As soon as Lan Li saw Gu En, he was reminded of He Zhilan’s pale face and He Teng’s silence. His anger surged up in his mind, and he raised his hand to slap Gu En’s face. The slap landed with a loud smack, ringing clearly in the ears of the bystanders.
"He Zhilan is your roommate! This is how you treat her! Gu En, where is your conscience? Where are the teachings of the Gu Family’s daughter? Did a dog eat it? How could your heart be so malicious, that you would harm your own roommate?"
Lan Li’s slap not only stunned Gu En, but also the three spectators. They were all dumbfounded!
Everyone knew how much the Gu Family and Lan Family cherished Gu En. Although Lan Li would discipline Gu En occasionally, he undoubtedly loved her more. Who had ever hit Gu En since she was born? Perhaps not even the elders of the Gu Family had laid a finger on her.
Gu En covered her face, looking incredulously at Lan Li, "You hit me? Because of He Zhilan, you not only insulted me in front of so many people, but you even hit me! You didn’t even wait for my explanation, you just hit me without understanding what happened!"
"Oh, do you need to explain? The facts are already clear, you sent your roommate to the hospital, didn’t you?" Chen Shan interjected sarcastically.
"Who the hell do you think you are, when did you get the right to speak?" Gu En growled, her eyes burning with fury, "Brother Lan Li, what have I done tonight that you would insult me ! What right do you have to hit me!"
Gu En pointed at Ding Jinshi and sneered, "You simply believe whatever this woman says? In your heart, her words outweigh mine? But Brother Lan Li, don’t forget, this woman is now someone else’s fiancée! And you? You still trust her words and take her side, just because of what she told you, you hit me!"
"Wasn’t it you who got He Zhilan drunk and let people take her away and...."
"No!" Gu En quickly cut him off, "I said no, will you believe me? You’ve already hit me, are you even intending to listen to me? If I tell you it’s not my fault, will you believe me then?"
A cold laugh burst from Gu En’s mouth, along with her tears, "He Zhilan brought it upon herself. She was intimately involved with both Lan Song and Liu Jiang. She wanted to join Lan Song for a drink, could I stop her? Why should I? Am I her mother or daughter to be watching over her? When someone handed her a drink, she chose to drink it, should I have snatched it away? Should I have let her continue to get drunk amongst men?"
"Brother Lan Li, let me tell you, I, Gu En, will not admit to something I haven’t done. Even if you kill me, I’ll never admit it! What does He Zhilan count for, is she worth all my effort? She’s just a country bumpkin. If I really intended to harm her, she would have been out of my sight long ago! Feel free to investigate, feel free to ask around. If you can find evidence, if you can prove it, I, Gu En, will take my own life!"
