"When are you planning to get remarried?" Lin Chan asked eagerly, "It’s been several years, right? I didn’t get to attend your wedding to He Teng, so for this remarriage, which is also a wedding, you have to make it big!"
He Zhilan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, "Whenever I bring it up, he remains silent. However, I have pondered over these years and somewhat understand what he’s thinking. With this big blockhead, I’d like to see him hold back now, but when he finally falls into this lady’s hands, he’d be begging me for a remarriage!"
He Zhilan spoke these words with full confidence. Then, she brought up her own affairs with Lin Chan, "I’ll be returning to my hometown soon to bring my father and elder brother here. Could you inform Bian Muhe for me? I plan to take the two of them to the hospital. One is to check my elder brother’s leg and the other is for my father’s health check-up since he’s getting old."
"No problem, I can sort that out with a phone call," Lin Chan replied, "And when I see your father, I’ll have to thank him properly. If not for his kindness, who knows where our little sister Zhilan would be now!"
After putting away her things, He Zhilan first went to Lanteng Company’s office in the capital. As she wouldn’t be in the capital for a quite a while, she needed to arrange many things in advance. Fortunately, Lin Chan had hired some capable assistants for her over the past two years, so she felt more at ease as a boss.
That night, a crowd gathered together. Originally they were discussing He Zhilan’s work. Then someone suddenly brought up Gu En, and subsequently, Lin Deng.
"When I walked out tonight, I heard my parents saying that Lin Deng seems to be getting engaged to Gu En! This is happening within the month, do you all know about this?" Qi Chengnan looked around at his friends, his face full of shock, "When I heard this news, I was almost scared to death."
"Pff~" Lin Chan spat out a mouthful of water, "Don’t talk nonsense like that. Can’t you see I’m drinking? Do you want me to choke to death?"
"Lin Deng is getting engaged to Gu En?" He Zhilan looked serious, "Really? Lin Deng and my roommate, that’s Jiang Biyun whom you guys have met, they have been dating for several years. How could Lin Deng suddenly get engaged with Gu En? Biyun’s parents just met Lin Deng today!"
"My family heard it from people in the courtyard," Qi Chengnan said, "Such a rumor wouldn’t spread in the courtyard without a basis. You should ask your friend later. Don’t let Biyun be kept in the dark by Lin Deng."
"That shouldn’t be the case, Lin Deng wouldn’t be so unscrupulous." As Lin Deng’s cousin, even though the two Lin families had grown apart, Lin Chan still knew Lin Deng well.
However, thinking about it, he felt Qi Chengnan’s words were sensible. Such a rumor wouldn’t spread without a substantial basis. Thinking about He Zhilan’s roommate, who’s head over heels for Lin Deng, Lin Chan became somewhat worried, "I’m going to call Lin Deng and ask."
He gave He Zhilan a reassuring look then picked up the landline to call Lin Deng. However, for some reason, Lin Deng didn’t pick up after several attempts.
"It looks like something is indeed going to happen." Lin Chan silently put down the phone, looking at He Zhilan, "Lin Deng never ignores my calls. At this time, even if he’s in the army, he wouldn’t be too busy to answer. The only reason he wouldn’t pick up my call is if it was inconvenient, perhaps he’s not in the army now but at home with his parents."
