"She came back very late the day before yesterday, we have no idea how she got into the dorm. After returning, she stood silently in front of her mirror, without even turning on the light. It scared us initially, we thought we were seeing a ghost!" Jiang Biyun said.
"Yeah, what would anyone be doing in front of a mirror so late at night? It’s pretty scary." Chen Xiting nodded and added, "We didn’t know until the next morning, she was actually looking at the slap mark on her face. I wonder who slapped her, dare to even slap Gu En! That morning after she woke up, she kept staring at your bed and desk. Her gaze was a bit chilling and we, Jiang Biyun and I, thought it was you who slapped her. After that, we didn’t see her again, as it seems, she didn’t attend classes either."
"Me?" He Zhilan shook her head, "Do I look like a person who would simply resort to violence? However, if I had the chance, I would indeed like to slap her twice."
He Zhilan’s words left Jiang Biyun and Chen Xiting dumbfounded, "What happened? What’s wrong with you two? Weren’t you guys getting along well before?"
"It was her Brother Lan Li who delivered that slap." He Zhilan said sarcastically, "Gu En is such a malicious person. On the surface, she might seem like my best friend, but behind the scenes, she is always scheming against me. If it were not for Ding Long’s timely intervention, I could have been killed by the man arranged by Gu En."
At this moment, Jiang Biyun and Chen Xiting were completely stunned. Like He Zhilan, they had always lived in a simple and clean circle. In their eyes, petty theft was the most common evil act, and the only bad person they came across.
They couldn’t quite believe what He Zhilan had to say, but they knew that He Zhilan wasn’t the type of person who would slander others over a small dispute. If He Zhilan said so, that meant Gu En had started it all.
"Why do I feel like I’m watching a movie?" Chen Xiting couldn’t help but shiver, thinking about what Gu En did, the way she was looking in the mirror that night, and her expression the next morning, "It’s terrifying."
"It is kind of frightening, at first, she seemed to get along so well with you and then behind the scenes, she did these things. It’s totally unpredictable. Are all children from powerful and noble families ?" Jiang Biyun held her forehead, "You won’t associate with Gu En anymore, right? Forget about interacting with such people, they’re too scary. For the time being, just put aside the matter concerning your parents. The people around Gu En are all not simple, you can’t easily find out about your parents through Gu En’s friends. Even if you did find out, they wouldn’t tell you out of goodwill."
Jiang Biyun too felt terrified on behalf of He Zhilan. "If Gu En knew you were looking for your parents, she might use this against you! She is the child of the Gu and Lan families and would definitely have an easier time getting information on your parents. Don’t let her know, otherwise, she might obstruct your way, or worse, take revenge on your parents. For people of her status, making life difficult for your parents would be a breeze."
"But why does Gu En treat you ?" Chen Xiting was puzzled, "it’s as if you two were archenemies in your past lives, her move was so fierce!"
"All because she thinks I stole the attention of her Brother Lan Li and Lin Deng! Just because Brother Lan Li scolded her a few times because of me, she harbored this grudge against me."
"Crazy! Gu En is just an insane person with no EQ!" Both Jiang Biyun and Chen Xiting exclaimed in unison.
