"A joke?" He Zhilan laughed coldly into the phone.
"Isn’t it just a joke? You can’t possibly believe Liu Jiang’s fiancée, right? That woman is with Ding Jinshi, they’re all against Gu En," said Lan Song, speaking with visible resentment towards Chen Shan. "I just signed a deal with Ding Long, I’ll be going back in a couple days. Come out and celebrate with me tonight? I promise, no drinks! Ding Jinshi will be there, her cousin will be as well, come so you won’t be alone."
At this point, Lan Song paused, adding, "You know, that thing you asked me about last time? I haven’t had the chance to tell you yet. If you come out, I can fill you in."
"Lan Song, do you really think I, He Zhilan, am that stupid?" He Zhilan mocked coldly, "Fool me once, shame on me. I mistook human nature as innocent. If it weren’t for Ding Jinshi’s presence last time, my life could’ve been at risk. Do you really think I will be fooled again?"
"Misunderstanding! Last time was truly a misunderstanding! He Zhilan, if you really believe Chen Shan and the others, then you are the fool!" Lan Song protested vehemently. "Come, let’s clear everything in person."
"Is that so? You just said Ding Jinshi was there, well then, let Ding Jinshi or Zhou Chenyue answer the phone." He Zhilan said.
"Aye, you know they don’t like me, why would they bother with me! Just come, after these two days, I’ll be gone for real. If you don’t come, we won’t have the chance to meet again. I haven’t even told you about those things you wanted to know!"
"So you know everything I want to know? What’s so urgent then? Just tell me over the phone." He Zhilan said, pulling up a chair to sit by the phone.
"Can a few words on the phone explain everything clearly?"
"Lan Song, are you trying to trick me into going out again? Is Gu En waiting there with a trap for me? If I go tonight, I’ll likely end up worse than dead, right?" He Zhilan laughed coldly repeatedly. "Lan Song, you’re lying! You know nothing about what I want to find out!"
"Who says? Don’t I know that the whole Lan Lin family is dead?" Lan Song hurriedly retorted.
"Is that right? Even if you knew, would you, Lan Song, be kind enough to tell me? Is Gu En by your side, trying to trick me into coming out? Lan Song, do you think I, He Zhilan, am that foolish? Last time, you used this as an excuse to make me drink and get me drunk with your friends. Do you think I don’t know that you, Lan Song, is Gu En’s weapon of choice. You’re all ready to aim at me, He Zhilan. The minute I reveal a vulnerability, you will seize the opportunity to end me!" He Zhilan began laughing as she spoke. However, the violent rise and fall of her chest made her laughter seem full of sarcasm. "Lan Song, tell Gu En that He Zhilan will no longer present her with any opportunities to harm me! Lan Li slapping her was her just deserts! Compared to what I’ve endured, a slap in the face is far too lenient!"
"No~ He Zhilan, you really misunderstood, Gu En isn’t here!" The sounds around Lan Song began to fade, he probably moved away from where people were. After about ten seconds of silence on the call, he spoke again, "Okay, I admit it, I’m not completely clear about the things you want to know just yet. I haven’t gotten the chance to ask my family yet, right? However, just tell me why you’re asking these questions and I’ll promise you this, once I get back and find out more, I’ll let you know! As soon as I return home and get the information, I will certainly call and tell you."
