Chapter 346: Chapter 346: Break-up 5_1

In this world, no medicine can cure regret. Even if He Zhilan wishes for her own death out of remorse, it serves no purpose.

She has no strength left to figure out why Gu En is out to get her, nor does she have any right to voice her grievances before He Teng. Thinking back to last night, all her fears don’t compare to the fear she feels right now due to He Teng’s accusations.

She’s genuinely scared that after this incident, He Teng would see all her changes as nothing more than pretense, and all the feelings between them would evaporate.

Once trust is broken, even He Zhilan doesn’t know how to mend it.

He Teng stands aside, watching with cold and silent eyes.

He Zhilan’s heart sinks so low, it’s almost in the dust. All she can do is reach up, slowly, tentatively, trying to grasp He Teng’s hand. But just as her fingertips are about to make contact, He Teng suddenly moves away. Her empty hand hangs in mid-air, He Zhilan watches, her tears no longer under control.

"Brother..."

"I’ll go get you something to eat." He Teng cuts off He Zhilan’s words, turns around using his crutch, and exits the ward. His departing figure bears a hint of determination and desolation.

The crutch hitting the ground always makes a louder sound than his footsteps. This sound slowly disappears in He Zhilan’s ears, causing her emotional breakdown.

Her suppressed cries resonate lightly throughout the ward. At the door, a figure appears, leaning casually with his arms inside his pockets, watching with an amused expression on his face, and a satisfied smile on his lips.

"Your crying is truly pathetic." Gu En taunts, his sarcasm accompanying a strange clapping sound. He walks toward the ward, stopping in front of He Zhilan, and looks into her angry eyes with unabated amusement, "Fools have no right to cry."

"Gu En, you dare to show up!" He Zhilan quickly wipes her tears. She won’t allow weakness to be shown in front of Gu En. "What kind of grudge do you have against me that you need to treat me like this, going to such lengths to torment me!"

"You’re mistaken!" The smile on Gu En’s face deepens, "Tormenting you didn’t take any effort. On the contrary, I only needed a few words to fool such a fool as you. Pretending to be friendly with you, and you fell for it. Last night, if it wasn’t for that scum, Ding Jinshi, could you, He Zhilan, still be here?"

"Why?" He Zhilan racks her brain but can’t understand why Gu En would treat her like this. The disagreement between them was nothing more than a slip of the tongue when she mentioned Gu En’s kitten killing childhood habit. She even clearly apologized! Also, was it really worth it for Gu En to treat her so maliciously over a few words?

"Why?" Gu En sneers, lifting a hand to point at his face. "See this? The slap mark, it’s been there since last night and hasn’t faded. Brother Lan Li did it, because of you! What kind of person are you, He Zhilan, that Brother Lan Li would hit me because of you? No one ever laid a hand on me before, but because of you, he criticised me again and again. Even worse, he laid hands on me last night. Why shouldn’t I take revenge on you? Ever since you showed up, all the good people have shifted their attention to you. This includes Lin Deng, even Brother Lan Li! He Zhilan, you overestimate your abilities. People like you should stay in your village for the rest of your life and never show up in front of me!"
