Chapter 698: Chapter 698: Return to Capital 7_1

Coming face to face, Gu En was seen aimlessly wandering around the base, slinging about a piece of Foxtail Grass he had found somewhere. Seeing He Zhilan, Gu En noticeably paused, his emotions briefly fluctuating in his eyes before he quickly concealed them and continued his careless walk as though she didn’t exist.

However, there was only one road. Gu En didn’t retreat, and He Zhilan continued walking with He Dongxue. Inevitably, the three of them would have to pass each other.

Being the stubborn person he was, Gu En huffed at He Zhilan without budging, raising his head high, expecting her to make way.

He Zhilan glanced at Gu En and laughed, pulled He Dongxue aside and casually said, "This little beggar has always been so unreasonable, hogging the road. Isn’t this just like you, Zhao Di?"

At the mention of ’Zhao Di’, Gu En’s expression dramatically changed.

Biting his lip, his gaze fell intensely on He Zhilan’s face, as if trying to determine if he had just hallucinated.

"’Zhao Di’ suits you quite well, honestly," He Zhilan said with persistent amusement on her face. "I thought before, we were of the same age. But turns out, you’re two years older than me, Zhao Di. Back then, begging on our doorstep, I gave you quite some money, right? You’re not even thankful for that, and kept trying to do me in."

Gu En stepped back, shaking his head while biting his lip, "I don’t understand what you’re saying! I’m Gu En, not some Zhao Di!"

"How typical of an ungrateful person! Denying the very name his own parents gave him!" He Zhilan snorted.

"Don’t talk about them!" Gu En suddenly shouted at He Zhilan, "What kind of parents are they? Who sells their own flesh and blood? They are worse than beasts, they are monsters! Gu Zhilan, I beg you, please don’t tell anyone, okay? Don’t reveal that I am Zhao Di from my family, and that I’ve been lying about my age!"

As he spoke, Gu En started to cry. "I know, I’ve done many wrong things this year, and have wronged you many times. But I couldn’t control myself. Ever since I found out that you’re Gu Zhilan, I was afraid you’d return to the Gu family, take everything I’ve got now, and turn me back into that Zhao Di, the beggar. Gu Zhilan, you’re living so comfortably, you don’t know how difficult my childhood was~"

"How does your hard childhood have anything to do with my sister-in-law? She didn’t sell you." He Dongxue interjected. "Why should my sister-in-law bear the burden because of your hardships? You’re cruel and vicious, wanting my sister-in-law’s life time and time again!"

"I know I was wrong before, but I understand it now. I was afraid I’d lose control again if I saw you, so I even left Capital University. Gu Zhilan, consider this me begging you, please. You’re living so well now. You have so many people who care for you, can’t you please spare me these few who care for me?" Gu En’s voice broke into sobs. "When you’re not here, I’ll take good care of them. They have me, and they are happy. Things that you can’t do, I can. I can sing for Grandpa, and make him happy. I can do a lot of things to make them satisfied. Your family, I will take good care of them for you."
