Chapter 974: Chapter 974: Her Unusualness 10

Hen Cailuan appeared puzzled and changed her seat to sit beside He Zhilan, "What’s wrong? Didn’t you see me waving at you just now?"

"I saw it, but I don’t like that seat." He Zhilan replied indifferently, turning her head to look out of the car window.

Behind them, the sound of Mrs. Gu and other family members making small talk could be heard, but none of the words reached He Zhilan’s heart. Her gaze remained outside the window, seemingly engrossed in the familiar scenery she had seen countless times from the military base to the city.

"Are you bewitched?" Hen Cailuan touched He Zhilan’s forehead with her hand, "Is that seat obstructing your view of this scenery you’ve seen countless times or is it poking your butt?"

He Zhilan didn’t even look at Hen Cailuan, just curling the corner of her lips slightly, "I just don’t like it. Do I need a reason?"

"No no~ Dare I ask for your reason? Wouldn’t I get chased around by your family’s He Mutou then?" Hen Cailuan raised an eyebrow, "Now, the whole unit knows that our Deputy Commander He dotes on his wife to no end."

Hen Cailuan wasn’t joking with He Zhilan. When the Gu family heads visited the military base, only He Teng, this big blockhead, dared to keep his wife from showing her face because she was feeling under the weather with a cold.

Imagine, these were important figures like the Gu family heads. Normally, people don’t even get the chance to see them. Unless one is critically ill and cannot walk, who would let their wife miss such an opportunity? Wouldn’t that be disrespectful to Mr. and Mrs. Gu? Wouldn’t that be disregarding their presence?

After the bus arrived at the station, He Zhilan, sitting close to the door, quickly got off. By the time Mrs. Gu also disembarked and tried to follow her, He Zhilan had already walked far away, disappearing into the crowd in no time.

"Is Mrs. Gu trying to catch up with Deputy Commander He’s wife?" someone noticed Mrs. Gu’s footsteps seemed to be headed after He Zhilan and quietly moved closer to Mrs. Gu, whispering, "Mrs. Gu, you don’t know, Deputy Commander He’s wife is quite proud. She graduated from Capital University and has started a company that seems to have made some money. She really doesn’t consider ordinary people worthy."

Before Mrs. Gu could respond, the person continued, "But really, Deputy Commander He’s wife is too arrogant, right? It’s one thing to disregard us family members, but to act like this even towards Mrs. Gu. It sounds nice to call it pride, as if she considers others beneath her, but frankly, it’s overbearing. It’s as if because Deputy Commander He dotes on her, she thinks she’s some impressive figure."

Mrs. Gu wasn’t foolish. Having navigated through the political world for decades, she clearly understood why these family members were slandering He Zhilan.

It was nothing more than a tactic to hinder He Teng’s career through discrediting He Zhilan. Unfortunately, these people didn’t realize that He Teng’s current status had nothing to do with the Gu family; even if the Gu family wanted to suppress He Teng, they might not be able to.

Mrs. Gu kept her thoughts to herself and did not show them on her face. She simply smiled faintly, responded with a few perfunctory words, and then turned around and left. Her trip this morning was partly to visit her sister-in-law in the city, and partly as Mrs. Gu to experience the military bus and mingle with other family members.

At the translation agency, from afar, He Zhilan could already hear the lively noises inside. After entering, she saw everyone gathered around Li Qian, only then did she learn everyone was teasing Li Qian.
