Chapter 581: Chapter 581: Don’t Come Again 2_1

At the moment, only He Zhilan was living in the guest house, so naturally, Lan Li was going to see He Zhilan. When they met earlier, He Teng didn’t think much about it, but as soon as Lan Li entered the guesthouse, He Teng began to wonder, what business could Lan Li have with He Zhilan?

Recently, the one notable incident was a brawl involving He Zhilan and Gu En.

"Let’s have a talk." Knowing that He Teng was concerned about He Zhilan, Lan Li patted He Teng’s shoulder, and the two of them walked back together.

"I never really understood the full story about He Zhilan being your childhood promised bride?" Lan Li didn’t know much about the relationship between He Teng and He Zhilan. All he knew was that He Zhilan was He Teng’s childhood promised bride, and she had grown up in the He Family since childhood.

He Teng felt somewhat puzzled, not understanding why Lan Li showed such sudden interest in He Zhilan’s affairs.

A childhood promised bride may be a bizarre concept for Lan Li who had grown up in a big city, but in rural areas, it was a fairly common scenario.

Some families, like Father He, knowing their economic conditions are not elegant, would adopt a girl since childhood and treat her as their daughter-in-law when she grows up.

"Could you tell me more about He Zhilan? She has been living in the He Family since childhood, right? Is she the daughter of a family from your village?" Lan Li asked.

"Zhilan joined the He Family when she was six, my father bought her from a wet nurse." He Teng briefly answered, and then asked, "Why are you asking all these?"

"What a coincidence? Six years old?" Lan Li was stunned, then he sighed briefly, "Actually, Gu En is not the biological daughter of my aunt and uncle. Gu En was adopted by them after their biological daughter went missing. You probably won’t believe it, but before Gu En joined the Gu Family, she was a beggar on the streets."

Realizing he had strayed from the original topic, Lan Li hooked the corner of his mouth before continuing, "My aunt and uncle’s biological daughter was named Gu Zhilan. She was lost during the summer when she was six years old. You probably also don’t know why I treat Gu En so well. This matter has been hidden in my heart for a long time, only my mother knows."

"What?" The appearance of the name ’Gu Zhilan’ caused He Teng’s facial expression to drastically shift. He remembered that a few days after they got married, He Zhilan abruptly became more mature and explained to He Dongxue why she had caused trouble for the He Family over the years.

He Zhilan had said that she was not unwanted garbage, as the old woman claimed. She was kidnapped by human traffickers. She had told him that her father’s surname was Gu, her mother’s surname was Lan, and her name is Gu Zhilan.

"As a child, Miss Zhilan was always fond of sticking to the people she knew, especially me, and my aunt’s son, Lan Lin. But then, Lan Lin went to the south with my aunt and uncle, and Miss Zhilan, from then on, spent her days following me around. At first, I was quite happy about it, she was very likable as a child. However, as I reached the age where I wanted to play, her clingy nature became a source of annoyance for me. To avoid her, I often encouraged her to join Lin Chan and Chen Yun’s gang. Not long thereafter, Zhilan also went south with my eldest aunt and uncle to join my youngest aunt and uncle."

At this point, Lan Li paused, his tone fluctuated a bit, and his expression was tinged with a hint of grief, "The summer Zhilan was six, I was on summer vacation and my parents were busy. They sent me to the south to spend the summer with my two aunts. The moment Zhilan saw me there, she reverted to her old clingy self, either sticking to me or to Lan Lin."
