Chapter 772: Chapter 772: Graduation 2_1

After He Teng said those words, he didn’t look at Lan Li or utter any more words. Lan Li just stood there, perhaps unmoved for a long time.

Many times, he was in fact, helpless. If he were not a part of the Lan family, he wouldn’t want to deal with these matters.

If possible, Lan Li even wished to be a child from an ordinary family. Then, he could love his country and military with passion, rather than prioritizing interest in everything he does.

If he wasn’t Lan Li, then at this moment, he wouldn’t have lost a comrade-in-arms and brother like He Teng.

From the moment He Teng chose to side against the Gu family with He Zhilan, no matter the debt of life owed to him by Lan Li, reality no longer allowed Lan Li to treat He Teng with the same attitude as a brother and benefactor.

Without trying to stop Lan Li from leaving, He Teng didn’t say anything more. After people left, his expression gradually became heavier.

The reason he just explained things so clearly to Lan Li was because he was worried that if the Gu family had any doubt about his explanation, they might send someone to investigate. As long as the Gu family sends someone to C Province and then to the He Family, He Zhilan’s identity would almost certainly be exposed, and right at this time, He Zhilan’s identity could absolutely not be revealed.

Thankfully, after Lan Li relayed He Teng’s reasons to the Gu family, the Gu family didn’t develop any suspicions or attempt to verify anything.

Indeed, everything that He Teng said was true, so naturally, the Gu family wouldn’t easily suspect. Gu En’s situation in C Province is common knowledge among beggars, after all.

As time flew by, before long, it was the summer of He Zhilan’s graduation. This over two-year period seemed calm in the capital but was full of undercurrents. However, for He Zhilan, these years were ones of growth.

Lanteng Company was established over two years ago. The plantation there had officially started its independent production, and the reputation of Fang Therapy Pavilion had suddenly boosted, becoming the most popular beauty spot in the capital’s circle of ladies. Over these two years, the Fang Therapy Pavilion in the capital has grown larger and larger, opening two new branches. There were branches in almost every province, and the essential oils and hydrosols produced by Lanteng Company were sold in various department stores. The money-making ability of Lanteng Company in He Zhilan’s hands made even Lin Chan jealous.

As Lanteng Company thrived, the pressure on He Zhilan gradually decreased. Over these two years, she had slowly repaid a large portion of her debts, thankfully no longer needing to worry about whether the borrowed money from the bank could be redeemed.

At the graduation ceremony of the new batch of students at Capital University, He Zhilan, with a ponytail, stood refreshingly in the school. She held He Teng’s hand on one side and He Dongxue’s on the other, walking towards the school’s auditorium.

"Sister-in-law, I really envy you, you’re graduating!" He Dongxue sighed, "Time really flies! By this time next year, I should be graduating too. I’ll be interning at the General Military Hospital in the second half of the year! Oh right brother, when I graduate next year, you must come to my graduation ceremony!"

In these two years, He Teng was promoted from a senior company to a deputy regiment, becoming a lieutenant colonel. Over these two years, he had performed numerous military merits, earning one medal after another, but at the same time, he suffered one injury after another. All these, He Zhilan kept from He Teng, not daring to let their father and He Da at home know about any of it.
