Chapter 181: Unlucky to the Extreme 9_1
Upon seeing the argument escalate, Huang Cai and Wang Bingbing quickly retreated to their own beds, while Chen Xiting was so stunned that he couldn’t understand how the situation had shifted so abruptly.
Seeing how upset Jiang Biyun and He Zhilan were, she could only try to soothe them, "Innocent people need not explain themselves. Some men are just base, and we women can’t be blamed for that. Should being attractive be a fault? Should attractive women mar their beauty to become ugly so they won’t attract attention?"
These words were partially directed at Gu En, as he had suggested that Ding Long might have been attracted to He Zhilan because of her beauty.
Jiang Biyun was the only one in the dorm who knew that He Zhilan was married. So when Gu En mentioned Ding Long’s love at first sight for He Zhilan and the significant gift he had given her, Jiang Biyun was filled with concern!
Besides thinking Ding Long’s behavior was frivolous and unlikable, she also knew that it wouldn’t be good for He Zhilan’s reputation as a married woman to be involved in such a situation.
Jiang Biyun naively thought that since He Zhilan’s husband was in the military and had no involvement or understanding of her social life, he’d at least worry upon finding out about this incident involving He Zhilan.
Because Gu En was there, Jiang Biyun and Chen Xiting couldn’t express themselves directly. But at the very least, they felt that Gu En, with his power and money, had values too different from theirs. Is it that the richer and more powerful always prioritize wealth and power?
That night, He Zhilan didn’t rest well, consumed with thoughts of how to return the item to Ding Long.
