Chapter 661: C Province Trip 4_1
Some said that He Zhongguo, seeing both of his daughters were educated and college students, even the richest family in town didn’t impress them, no one knew how wealthy the family He Dongxue would marry into in the future.
Without a doubt, such sharp-tongued, satirical remarks were quite upsetting to hear.
Fortunately, not everyone was this way. Many of the He family’s neighbors comforted He Dongxue, saying that even a wealthy family with a history of remarriage couldn’t compare to a young lady like He Dongxue.
Word of this somehow got out, even to He Hongmei in town, who made a special trip back to the He family. However, she didn’t come to criticize He Zhongguo, but to visit He Dongxue. She mentioned that if the He family was struggling for money, the Liang family might be able to lend them some, just to help them get through this difficult time.
As July was coming to an end, He Zhilan received a call from her professor, letting her know that her trip to C Province was scheduled for August 2nd. Once the date was set, the whole He family began worrying about He Zhilan’s journey to C Province. Ironically, the city in C Province she was going to was the same city she had once been lost in.
"Go call your brother, see if he has any advice for you. This is a big matter, I don’t have experience with this, not sure how I could help you. Anyway, once you’re there, be careful. If it’s too difficult, don’t push it, just come back home," the father repeatedly warned, fearing that He Zhilan, a young woman, might be subjected to unfair treatment among a group of foreigners. At this point, he even somewhat regretted allowing his young daughter to venture out.
He Zhilan called her military brother, He Teng, the night before her departure to discuss her travel plans.
