Chapter 969: Chapter 969: Her Abnormality 5

"So soon?" In five days? He Zhilan was also stunned; the process was moving too fast. It seemed that the Zhou Family was truly in a hurry to send Gu En to jail.

"Yep. During this period, Chen Yun hasn’t let anyone visit Gu En again," He Teng nodded in agreement.

"They’re probably afraid of complications arising, right?" He Zhilan understood that Chen Yun was worried, in case Gu En met with someone and something unexpected happened - after all, Gu En was particularly cunning.

"Brother, Kang Xing mentioned there’s a military parade for National Day in October. Will you be participating?" He Zhilan was especially curious about the military parade, "Brother, what’s the military parade like?"

"You’ll see when the time comes." He Teng patted He Zhilan’s head with his hand and seeing her pouting, he then explained, "I just received the notification recently. The specifics are still being arranged."

After a pause, He Teng glanced at He Zhilan, hesitated for a moment, and then continued, "In a few days, the commander and his wife will come down to the troops to offer their sympathies."

"Oh." He Zhilan replied indifferently and didn’t say anything more. She changed her shoes and went straight into the kitchen to cook dinner.

Seeing He Zhilan’s lukewarm reaction, He Teng didn’t say anything more, turned around, entered his room to prepare for a shower, and saw He Zhilan’s bag had fallen to the ground. He walked over, picked it up by the handle, but the bag’s zipper was open. As he lifted it, the contents fell out.

He Zhilan was not in the habit of wearing makeup, so there weren’t any cluttered cosmetic products in her bag. What was there was a work notebook and pens, handkerchiefs, and some other odds and ends. He Teng bent down to pick things up, and when his hand touched the bag, he paused, then looked back at the contents that hadn’t fallen out.

"Zhilan." He Teng, holding the milk bottle he had taken out of He Zhilan’s bag, walked to the kitchen and asked, "Why do you have a milk bottle in your bag? It’s brand new with the tag still on it~"

He Zhilan, who was picking vegetables in the kitchen, was taken aback and stared dumbly at the milk bottle in He Teng’s hand, looking bewildered.

After a long moment, she came back to her senses and shook her head, "I think it’s from the other day when I went shopping with Chen Cui. She bought a lot of things and asked me to help carry some. It must have been left in my bag and forgotten."

"I see." He Teng nodded, "Then remember to give it to her on Monday when you go to work. She might need it urgently."

"How could that be; she’s just impatient. The baby’s still in her belly!" He Zhilan said with a light laugh, "Then brother, please put it back in my bag for me, I’ll bring it to the translation agency for her on Monday."

He Teng replied with an affirmative sound, turned around, and left the kitchen. Holding the small, delicate milk bottle, he inwardly sighed, thinking if their child were still around, they too would soon be using such adorable items.

Early on Monday morning when He Zhilan was on the way to the city by car, she overheard the families talking about the commander and his wife coming down to visit the troops personally. To be honest, He Zhilan didn’t really care if the Gu Family would visit the troops or not. However, many people mentioned the Gu Family, naturally also bringing up the previous eldest miss of the Gu Family.

"I always thought that Gu En was particularly arrogant and dismissive. When Lan Li was in the troops, she used to visit. Upon seeing people, aside from those she deemed worthy, she would barely glance at the rest, as if she disdained them. I thought she was the Gu Family’s treasured daughter, so she had the right to be proud. Little did I expect, she’s just an adopted daughter. Moreover, who could have seen it coming? At such a young age, she would be so sinister to resort to hiring a hitman. And yet, it has been several years before this was dug up and she was sent to prison."
