"When you deal with Gu En, be careful and cautious. I’ve been so busy lately that I won’t be in the capital often. If you need anything, look for Xing Ye or Chen Yun." Zhilan didn’t say much, but Lin Chan had heard a few things. Although her guess might not be completely accurate, she had the gist of it.
"By the way, Lin Chan, how are your relationships with the Lan Family and the Gu Family?" Zhilan asked, touching her nose unnaturally.
"The Lan Family and Gu Family? We haven’t really communicated with them for years." Lin Chan said, "Gu En once killed a cat and blamed me for it. My family believed me, but the Lan Family and Gu Family chose to believe Gu En. They thought I killed the cat out of spite and framed Gu En. Because of this, my parents developed animosity towards both of them. Soon after, my parents moved out of the courtyard with me. It’s been many years since and we haven’t really gone back, but..."
Lin Chan stopped there, because she was about to bring up her family, the Lin Family, and something even deeper: that standing on the opposite sides was what eventually split the Lin Family into two. It wouldn’t be long before every household in this circle would start feeling tense, including the two elder members of the Lin Family who were siblings.
Lin Chan’s words made Zhilan sigh in her heart. She had guessed that Lin Chan’s relationship with Gu En and Lan Li was quite strained. Their parents probably didn’t get along well either. Watching Lin Chan run around various provinces and countries for the company’s affairs, Zhilan decided to swallow the words at the tip of her tongue.
He was already so busy, how could she add to Lin Chan’s troubles? If she ended up causing Gu En and Ding Long to join forces against Lin Chan, then Lin Chan would truly be caught between a rock and a hard place. After all, at this moment, it was crucial for both Lin Chan and her company.
Ding Long’s company was just starting, but for Lin Chan’s company, it was a turning point, a critical juncture, so there was no room for error.
At this moment, Zhilan simply didn’t want to cause Lin Chan trouble, but she didn’t know that her genuine care for Lin Chan had inadvertently saved many lives.
Lin Chan didn’t chat with Zhilan for long before she was called away by her secretary, apparently to handle some urgent matters in the company. After handing everything to Zhilan, Lin Chan drove off in a hurry.
Even though Lin Chan had only mentioned a few sets of clothes, they felt quite heavy when Zhilan lifted the bag. It was so large that she almost couldn’t see the path in front. Just as she was about to climb the stairs, she noticed Gu En standing at the staircase, looking in the direction where Lin Chan’s car had disappeared.
"Excuse me, you’re blocking the way." As Zhilan stood upright, she felt her scalp tingle whenever she came across Gu En showcasing such a profound look. She always felt that nothing good would occur whenever Gu En exhibited such an inscrutable gaze.
The last time was at the military academy, and it wasn’t long before rumors started circulating. Describing Gu En’s gaze as creepy would be an understatement!
Gu En was holding a bag in her hand. Since it was Friday, she was planning to return home for the weekend as usual, so her bag was a bit bulky. Instead of leaving right away, she stood tall, looking down at Zhilan with a patronizing attitude. "Treating the rubbish Lin Chan gave you as treasures, you’re really interesting, Zhilan."
