Chen Yun laughed out loud, "I saw the Gu’s superior coming to the station when I left, I guess he came looking for me. But, I was swift enough to dash off before he could catch me!"
"Ambitious, aren’t you! All you know is running away. If you’re so tough, why not stay behind and face off with Gu’s superior!" Bian Mufan looked down on Chen Yun and turned to He Zhilan, "As for the court, don’t worry, the Gu Family’s connections are no match for mine. As long as Gu En steps into the courtroom, I’ll make sure she gets a heavy sentence!"
"With such a big scandal at this time, the Gu Family is probably quite panicked!" Bian Xiulin chimed in, "Actually, Gu’s grandparents and aunts and uncles are quite nice people. How did they end up with such a daughter? They must be really unlucky."
"What on earth did our Zhilan sister do to her to warrant such a vicious attack? Know that, at Gu En’s age, our sister Xiulin would scream at the mere sight of having to kill a fish. She scared Xing Ye so much he thought it was a big deal and ran over immediately, dropping whatever he was doing."
Bian Xiulin could discern that Chen Yun was intentionally using her to make a joke and get everyone laughing. If it weren’t for Zhilan’s poor mood at the moment, she’d have skinned Chen Yun!
Since it was the weekend, everyone had more free time and stayed longer at the hospital. Seeing that Zhilan had company, He Teng finally made time to call his unit. It’s been a day and a night, and the regiment commander was certainly worried.
Not long after He Teng left, Jiang Biyun, Chen Xiting, Tan Heqian, and Lin Deng arrived.
"Oh, Lin Deng! Instead of visiting your little sister Gu En at the station, why are you here visiting our Zhilan sister?" Lin Chan taunted him, slyly blocking the door after Jiang Biyun and his group had entered and stopped Lin Deng from going in.
Lin Deng looked a bit green. He was helpless against his elder cousin, "Bro, I just came to check on He Zhilan."
"What’s there to check! Aren’t you fond of that little devil Gu En? My Zhilan sister isn’t available for you to see." In terms of physical strength, Lin Chan certainly couldn’t compete with military-school student Lin Deng. But as an elder cousin, Lin Chan knew Lin Deng dare not lay a finger on him. Instead, he relished in bullying Lin Deng.
"Enough, Lin Chan. Let him come in." He Zhilan called from the ward, no longer willing to watch on. Only then did Lin Chan move out of the way.
As soon as he entered, Lin Deng gave He Zhilan a grateful look. She ignored him; he was Jiang Biyun’s boyfriend after all, and it hurt Jiang Biyun to see him bullied by Lin Chan.
"Zhilan, Chen Xiting and I reported this incident to the school leaders first thing this morning. But, the Gu Family likely tipped them off. The leaders wouldn’t let us publicize the incident, saying the school will handle it at the right time." Jiang Biyun was indignant, "The Gu Family is really shameless! If Gu En dared to do it, why can’t people know about it?"
"The Gu Family wants to suppress it? They’ll have to be able to!" Lin Chan scoffed with disdain.
Tan Heqian only found out about all this very late last night. Seeing He Zhilan in such a state, he couldn’t help but sigh. His mother had asked about He Zhilan’s situation this morning, and he didn’t dare mention a word about it for fear she would break into tears over the phone.
He Teng returned half an hour later. His expression was not very good when he came back.
