Chapter 445: Chapter 445 Gu Family’s Apology3_1

"I want to speak up! What right do you have to stop me, everything I am saying is true!" Gu En roared in anger, "I despise her, I absolutely loathe her! That’s why I nitpick everything about her, I am addicted to bullying her. But just because her brother is Brother Lan Li’s fellow soldier, Brother Lan Li keeps scolding me all day, even beating me up over her! Dad, I know I was wrong, no matter how much I hate her, I can’t abuse my power to bully her, nor can I harm her physically. Dad, I genuinely realized my mistake, could you please not be angry anymore? I promise I won’t dare to do it again in the future!"

Everyone in the room had a different reaction, nobody expected that the car accident that nearly took Gu En’s life happened simply because she was distracted while driving, not to mention Gu En chose to drive around alone outside during the Chinese New Year’s Eve, just because she was afraid her parents would be angry with her for the wrongs she had committed.

Lan Li’s mother sighed and said, "Xiao’en, how could you be so silly? You were too scared to come home because of such a minor issue? You spent the Chinese New Year alone, wandering around the city and driving aimlessly? For this matter, although you did something wrong, it really is not a big deal. When you’ve done wrong, you just need to correct your mistakes. You must know there are all kinds of people in this world, haven’t you seen countless? If you don’t like someone, you just don’t have to be their friend. Why bother making an enemy out of such people?"

"Brother Lan Li keeps on scolding me because of her and even beat me up over her. I can’t accept that." Gu En whimpered softly, "Her brother who is Brother Lan Li’s fellow soldier wants to complain to the army. He said I had been bullying his sister. I am afraid that I have disgraced Dad."

"Indeed, you were wrong about this. No matter what kind of person she is, as a daughter of the Gu Family, you ought to have your own moralities and understandings. If you can’t stand her, just ignore her. As a daughter of the Gu Family, you should have your own aloofness and pride. If you don’t like her, just don’t engage with her. However, it was wrong of you to bully her."

After he spoke, Colonel Gu glanced at Lan Li and spoke with a cold tone, "Come with me!"

Then, Colonel Gu led the way out of the patient’s room, with Lan Li trailing behind him step by step.

"You beat up Gu En? What exactly happened?" Colonel Gu’s voice was somewhat cold, quite evidently showing anger.

"I’m sorry, Uncle Gu." Lan Li did not offer any explanation, he just apologized.

"Do you know that Gu En has never been touched by people in our family as we have upheld our roles as her elders! How could you beat her up? Although we have always been busy, you’ve been the one mainly in charge of looking after Gu En since when she was young. But who permitted you to lay a hand on her? Furthermore, what exactly is going on with your comrade’s little sister?"

"Uncle Gu, it’s He Teng’s younger sister. She and Gu En share a dorm room, with their beds one on top of the other. Since term started, Gu En has bullied her on a number of occasions. When He Teng learned about some of these incidents during his further studies at the military academy in the capital, he stated that if Gu En were to bully his sister again, he would seek justice through formal channels."

Lan Li paused before continuing, "On the day before New Year’s Eve, Gu En went to the restaurant where He Teng’s sister was working part-time for the winter break. As it happened, Gu En played a prank, deliberately tripping He Teng’s sister, ending up causing her hands to get burned. The burns may even leave scars."

Lan Li heaved a sigh, "On Chinese New Year’s Eve, He Teng’s sister went to visit the soldiers, and He Teng learned about this incident. He then decided to speak to you directly when you went to the troops for the New Year’s visit. I was so angry at the time, I called Gu En and told her to come with you to the army base to personally apologize to He Teng’s sister. It was unexpected that Gu En ended up in this accident."
