Chapter 661: 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.

He Teng was silent on the phone for a long time, probably contemplating something. After hearing the puzzled voice of He Zhilan on the other line, he finally spoke. "Be careful, be alert, if something feels off just find a way to leave and come back. I’ve told you everything I can before you left. Have you been practicing those moves we learned in the military these past two weeks?"

Caught off guard by He Teng’s question, He Zhilan was left speechless—she clearly hadn’t practiced at all!

The weather was so hot here that you’d break into a sweat just by moving. She would rather stay indoors and not go out if she had the choice. Given some free time, she’d prefer reading. She really hadn’t practiced at all in the past two weeks.

Judging from He Zhilan’s silent reaction, He Teng knew for sure that she hadn’t practiced. His tone shifted, upbraiding her, "You lazy thing! Without a push, you won’t move! Are you going to let your body rust at home?"

"Why don’t you come home and push me then," He Zhilan retorted, sticking out her tongue, "Alright, after I come back from C Province, I promise I’ll practice well!"

"Don’t think I don’t know you’re just putting me off." He Teng’s tone was indifferent, obviously knowing He Zhilan’s character well, which was why he replied as coldly.

"Wait until the school starts, you can check for yourself, right?" He Zhilan chuckled, skillfully changing the subject, asking, "I haven’t seen you in more than half a month, do you miss me, bro?"

Then, without waiting for He Teng to respond, He Zhilan quickly continued, not giving him a chance to speak, "I’ve mentioned our affair to Dongxue, and also informed Uncle Gu about my relationship with the Gu family. That day, there was some kind of meeting at Uncle Gu’s place, and I just casually mentioned a few things about it."
