After a pause, Lan Li said again, "I admit, because of these rumors, I was somewhat prejudiced. Plus, the first time I saw He Zhilan, she was staring at the car, so I had a very bad impression of her. I also know that He Zhilan dislikes me, but besides that, whenever she was with you, you were the only one in her eyes."
Having said these words, Lan Li didn’t say anything more. Perhaps, he didn’t even know why he was saying all this to He Teng. He was just worried that He Zhilan’s divorce with He Teng might be because of Gu En, because she felt that He Teng couldn’t protect her.
Lan Li rarely spoke so much, but He Teng didn’t say a word, as if he hadn’t heard anything.
He was just lying in bed, his gaze fixed on the neatly folded sweater on the head of the bed. He was remembering how He Zhilan had looked when she had presented the sweater to him as a surprise. Her little face was flushed red, full of expectation as she looked at him.
For three consecutive days, Chen Yun didn’t find any useful leads. No one had seen the truck driver interacting with any suspicious people recently, and naturally, they couldn’t find any suspect with a little bird tattoo on the tiger’s mouth of his right hand.
Now, the truck driver had committed suicide. Even if they wanted to invest money in the investigation, there was nowhere to spend it.
On the third day, Gu En was discharged from the hospital.
As she wished, she didn’t go back to the police station, but directly to the Gu Family home. Upon learning from Lin Deng that He Zhilan had thrown away all of her belongings, Gu En threw a temper tantrum at the Gu Mansion!
"Who does she think she is! How dare she throw my stuff away! Since when does she have any say over matters at Capital University?" Perhaps due to her exertion, blood seeped through the gauze wrapped around her left wrist.
Seeing this, Lin Deng quickly found an excuse to leave Gu En’s room.
"Lin Deng!" The Gu family’s head stopped Lin Deng from leaving and asked, "Why is she throwing a tantrum?"
"Her classmate threw all her belongings from the dormitory into the trash bin, including her clothes, makeup, and books; she didn’t leave anything!" After Lin Deng finished speaking, he shrugged, "Mr. Gu, she’s been having a worse temper lately. Brother Lan Li called me and mentioned that when you have time, after she’s discharged, try to arrange a meeting between her and a psychiatrist. Well, Mr. Gu, I’ll take my leave now."
The Gu family’s head nodded, looked towards Gu En’s bedroom, and then walked up. He knocked on the door, went in, and glanced at the messy floor in her room. He frowned. Just then, Grandma Gu came over and seeing the state of the room, scolded Gu En sharply, "What on earth are you throwing a tantrum about now?"
"Grandma! He...He Zhilan went too far! She actually threw all the things I left in the dormitory into the trash bin!" Gu En burst into tears, plopped down on the bed and sulked with her lip out, "My books, my favorite clothes, and the things Aunt sent me from overseas! She threw everything away!"
"You dared to go after her life, and you’re complaining about her throwing away a few of your things?" Grandma Gu huffed coldly, "If I were your classmate, I would’ve thrown them away too."
After being scolded by Grandma Gu, Gu En didn’t dare say another word. However, she sat there still looking extremely aggrieved.
