Chapter 1028: Unstoppable Rumors 12
"How did she become like this? It’s like she really doesn’t recognize us at all?" Mrs. Gu’s face was filled with worry. "The last time I saw her in the city, she wasn’t like this. Although she pretended not to know me and my sister-in-law, she was hostile towards outsiders and to her sister-in-law. But just now, she actually smiled at me and you—a timid smile, such a distant smile. The way she looked at me and you, truly, it was like we were strangers."
The hostility that was there the last time they met was now gone from her. If Mrs. Gu had suspected He Zhilan was pretending last time, this time, Mrs. Gu truly began to worry.
"Lanteng Company is doing so well now, she’s definitely not short on money. But why is she so protective over the toys she bought for the children? When she was dodging the car, I saw her shield the things in her hands close to her chest, just like a mother protecting her child. The items were broken, and she definitely doesn’t lack the money to buy them again. Why would she use her body to protect these things?"
As a military man, Gu Hengyuan naturally had better observation skills than Mrs. Gu and was more meticulous.
Although the two of them had their doubts, they had other matters to attend to. After all, He Zhilan was He Teng’s wife and had no relation to the Gu Family, so they didn’t take it to heart. Once they could no longer see He Zhilan’s figure, they left.
By the time He Zhilan arrived at the coffee house, she was holding nothing in her hands but her bag. Seeing her injured, the professor frowned and asked, "What happened?"
He Zhilan herself was very puzzled, simply shaking her head, "Probably fell over, I guess."
"Probably?" The professor glanced at He Zhilan. "How old are you? Falling over while walking is one thing, but to only guess that you fell? You can’t even be sure?"
