Chapter 411 - Injured 2_1 Years Ago
"You’re right! The gods have indeed favored me, Gu En. They have given me a chance to catch He Zhilan off guard."
The words of Tang Tang caused Gu En’s mind to start turning. Now, with He Teng away from the capital, and Lan Li also absent, it was the perfect time for her to take advantage of He Zhilan’s isolation. Even if He Zhilan complained afterwards, there would be no evidence against her.
He Zhilan had no idea about the plotting going on between Gu En and Tang Tang. However, she felt Gu En’s constant, piercing gaze on her. After taking two dark black coffees into the kitchen, He Zhilan served two steaming cups of cocoa to other customers.
Serving the hot cocoa to the customers meant passing by Gu En’s table. He Zhilan found it difficult to do so; the way Gu En looked and smiled at her when she saw her was quite unsettling.
He Zhilan thought that at most Gu En would just scoff at her in front of the customers. She certainly didn’t expect that Gu En would suddenly stick out her foot. Zhilan, having her view obstructed by the tray she was carrying, was tripped by Gu En and two cups of hot cocoa fell from the tray onto the floor.
When the hot cocoa spilled and splashed on her hands, He Zhilan immediately burst into tears because of the sudden pain.
"I told you, dealing with people as stupid as pigs is effortless." Gu En said, laughing in everyone’s face.
