Chapter 449: The Gu Family’s Apology 7_1
"What could be wrong?" He Teng paused for a moment before telling He Zhilan about the Gu head’s apology over the phone.
"Was Gu En’s car accident serious?" He Zhilan asked gently biting her lip.
"I’m not entirely sure, but Gu’s head indicated that she’s still in intensive care. Zhilan, Gu’s head apologizing on Gu En’s behalf means that you won’t be able to receive a personal apology from Gu En. However, as her father, his apology carries weight both in sentiment and in reason."
"Brother, I don’t need an apology from Gu En. I just need her to stop tormenting me like this in the future. An apology from Gu En is too much to ask; and even if she did apologize, it doesn’t necessarily mean it would be sincere. What good is a fake apology? Now that Gu’s head is aware of Gu En’s actions, he should keep her in check from now on, right?"
He Zhilan smiled and shook her head. She also knew Gu En’s character well. If Gu En were to apologize, it would certainly be insincere, and perhaps she would resent He Zhilan even more because of the grudging apology.
Hearing He Zhilan’s words and seeing her unfeigned indifference, He Teng lifted his hand, gently patting He Zhilan on the head, murmuring to himself, "I will strive to climb higher. Even if I can’t compete with them or it’s only for you, we should think thrice before we act."
He Teng’s voice was very low, He Zhilan barely heard him, and only faintly caught the words ’for you’ and ’think thrice’, "Brother, what did you just say?" He Zhilan asked He Teng in confusion, but He Teng just lightly replied nothing, then urged He Zhilan to eat.
