Her words made He Zhilan stop abruptly, her face full of surprise. Over the winter break, Lin Deng had gone out of the capital to visit Jiang Biyun? And, their relationship had even turned from friends to lovers?
Seeing Jiang Biyun’s delighted expression, He Zhilan quickly understood. Of course, a woman would do her best to please the man she loves. If Jiang Biyun wasn’t in love, why would there be such a drastic change in her?
He Zhilan couldn’t believe that Lin Deng had gone all the way to another province to pursue Jiang Biyun.
"He didn’t tell me when he decided to visit me. He just took the train there by himself. When he arrived, he didn’t know where my home was. He looked for me based on some small details we talked about during our conversations without even calling me. Instead, he decided to hover around my neighborhood until I finally found him!"
At this point, Jiang Biyun paused and broke into a smile, "He’s such a fool! I asked him why he came all of a sudden. Do you know what he said? He told me that he was so used to seeing me every week, it was unbearable not seeing me for over half a month. He missed me, so he decided to come to find me. He was afraid that I would think he was weird if I found out, so he didn’t dare to tell me!"
He Zhilan couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "I really didn’t expect Lin Deng to do something so foolish. Missing you, he travels all the way to your city, yet hesitates to call you. What if he hadn’t run into you? Wouldn’t he have made an empty trip?"
"Right, he can be really adorable when he does silly things!" Jiang Biyun nodded, her face full of happiness. "See, even though Gu En had a car accident, he still thinks about me and cares enough to find me. Doesn’t that mean he values me more than Gu En?"
"I hope his feelings for you only grow stronger. Jiang Biyun, I want you to be happy!" He Zhilan sighed, "Especially when I saw Ding Jinshi crying and laughing, smoking and drinking, I was really worried that you would end up just like her because of Gu En."
"I get it! Don’t worry! Lin Deng isn’t Lan Li! And I’m not Ding Jinshi! As long as I love Lin Deng, I will not let go easily!" Jiang Biyun knew what He Zhilan was worried about and thus reassured her, "As long as we don’t let go, not even devils can scare us! Besides, Gu En was merely a childhood friend of Lin Deng, not a relative. Why would Lin Deng have to accommodate her in everything, just like how Lan Li does?"
"Although Gu En is hospitalized now, it has been half a month, and she might be discharged soon. After some time of recuperation, she might also come to school. I’m afraid she might go against you if she finds out about you and Lin Deng being together, thinking that you stole something from her."
The elders of the Gu family know what Gu En has been doing to her recently, so He Zhilan is not worried that Gu En would continue to bully her. But if Gu En sets her sights on Jiang Biyun, then the only one who can protect Jiang Biyun is Lin Deng.
In fact, the worries of He Zhilan may not be unfounded. He Zhilan still has a husband in the military who can protect her, but Jiang Biyun does not have anyone who can stand against Gu En. However, Jiang Biyun will absolutely not back down out of fear.
When she first fell in love with Lin Deng, she had no intention of backing down. Now that they are finally together, she will never give up easily.
