Chapter 1092: Chapter 1092: Gu Family’s Decision 4

"Two hundred thousand is nothing to the Gu Family," Bian Muhe scoffed.

"How did He Zhilan end up with such biological parents?" Chen Yun slammed his hands red from anger. After learning the truth, he was so furious that a single punch left a dent in Bian Mufan’s car. It was clear how infuriated he was.

After Chen Yun’s outburst, the room fell silent. It wasn’t because they weren’t angry, nor because they didn’t want to curse loudly. Truthfully, they were angry to the point that they could kill someone from the Gu Family, but they were simply too drained emotionally to care anymore.

"At least Zhilan is far, far away now. As long as we don’t tell her, she won’t find out about this. Otherwise, how heartbroken would she be? Anyone who learns that their biological parents traveled such a great distance to find them, said so many apologies, and then turned around and released such slander—on top of that, wanting to kill them—how could anyone not be driven insane by that?!" Bian Xiulin choked on her own words for a while before finally managing to speak, "Tell me, why is our Zhilan so unlucky to have such parents? Having parents like that, wouldn’t Zhilan have been better off being born into a rural family? Just ordinary folks."

"With the Gu Family saying that, the Shen Family won’t have any reason to doubt them. They went as far as to pull off something like this, making it evident to everyone that the Gu Family truly doesn’t care about He Zhilan as their daughter anymore," Lin Chan shrugged and continued, "No wonder the Gu Family raised such ruthless people. After all, they embody ruthlessness themselves. It’s perfectly reasonable that the type of people they are would raise children similar to them. Just look at Gu En, always playing the victim, crying in front of Zhilan—’daughter, mama is sorry for you, grandma is sorry for you, dad is sorry for you, the whole Gu Family is sorry for you.’ And then, behind her back, they plot to take her life. Ha! If Zhilan had been fooled by their wailing and returned to the Gu Family to play the part of the dutiful daughter, she probably would’ve dropped dead from illness the very night she got there!"

"Truly forked tongues hiding poisoned hearts," Bian Mufan commented bluntly.

None of them had eaten yet, but this incident had left them so enraged that they’d completely lost their appetite.

At this moment, everyone genuinely felt deep sorrow for He Zhilan. After searching for her biological parents for thirteen years, what she ultimately uncovered were enemies intent on taking her life. No wonder Gu En dared to so shamelessly reveal He Zhilan’s identity. Clearly, Gu En had been confident that the Gu Family would make the ultimate choice to abandon their biological daughter in such circumstances.

The capital was a stormy battlefield that He Zhilan and He Teng, far away in their rural hideaway, were completely unaware of. When the two arrived, it was just in time for Xiaojia and Niu Li’s wedding.

The two stayed with the Niu Family, and as they spent time with Niu Li, they came to realize that he was a solid, dependable partner for Xiaojia.

Niu Li and Niu Rang were cousins, but Niu Li wasn’t as lively or talkative as Niu Rang. Naturally, he also hadn’t had the chance to attend middle school like Niu Rang.

Niu Li and He Teng were actually alike in some ways; both were rather quiet. However, Niu Li’s quiet demeanor was rooted in his earnest and humble nature. He wasn’t very talkative, but he was diligent and resourceful in his actions, and his care for Xiaojia was tender and meticulous.

Standing by her bedroom window, He Zhilan watched Niu Li and Xiaojia talking in the yard. Her eyes remained fixed on Xiaojia, not blinking even once. Turning back, she said to He Teng, "Brother, Niu Li really likes Xiaojia. It’s the kind of love a man feels for a woman. His care for her doesn’t come from a sense of duty, but from genuine affection."
