However, this was the first ti He Teng bought clothes for He Zhilan. He took two brand new coats, put them on hangers, and hung them in the wardrobe where she kept her winter clothes.
He Teng thought that when He Zhilan returned and saw the two new pieces of clothing he bought for her in the wardrobe, she would definitely be thrilled, just like when she saw the pendant he bought, happily throwing herself into his arms.
That day, during the al, Xing Ye casually ntioned that Gu Hengyuan privately invited him to et. Although Xing Ye ntioned it offhandedly, after he did, Chen Yun and Lin Chan started paying attention to it for two consecutive days.
Probably still afraid that there might be deceit involved, Chen Yun had people investigate the eting place for several days under various pretexts and had many people keep an eye on the Gu Family, the Lan Family, and the Shen Family. Only after seeing there was no activity from the three families did they feel relieved about letting Xing Ye go to the eting.
Even so, when Xing Ye went to the eting, Lin Chan still took a group of people to have tea and food nearby, to ensure that if anything happened, he could rush in imdiately to help Xing Ye.
Thankfully, that night passed peacefully; Xing Ye went to the eting and returned safely to the Xing Family.
Late at night, the Xing Family was still brightly lit. The Xing Family’s two treasures had already gone to bed, but Bian Xiulin was waiting in the living room. Her tightly knitted brows showed how worried she had been.
It wasn’t until Xing Ye returned safely that Bian Xiulin breathed a sigh of relief.
Not long after Xing Ye got ho, Chen Yun and Lin Chan arrived at the Xing Family one after another.
"So, how was it? Gu Hengyuan didn’t trouble you, did he?" Lin Chan scanned Xing Ye from head to toe, his face full of tension. Only when he saw that Xing Ye’s clothes didn’t have a single crease did he finally relax. "Inside there for two hours before coming out, were you really just having tea and a night snack?"
Xing Ye smiled silently and shook his head.
"Alright, stop pretending to be profound!" Bian Xiulin had the least patience of them all, knowing that her heart had been in suspense all night.
"If nothing goes wrong, Zhilan should be able to return to the capital to have the baby. She should be back soon." Xing Ye said, "Tonight, I t not only Gu Hengyuan but also Lan Li’s father."
"What do you an?"
Chen Yun, Lin Chan, and Bian Xiulin all looked serious. Although the three did not speak, Xing Ye’s words had already implied quite clearly that not understanding them would be foolish.
"Just as you thought." Xing Ye nodded, "A bit surprised?"
The three nodded vigorously.
"The Gu Family has a request to move He Zhilan’s ashes to the Gu Family’s ancestral tomb in the capital, so He Zhilan can recognize her roots." Xing Ye said, "This requires He Teng to personally call Gu Hengyuan."
"So, the Gu Family is doing this because of Gu Zhilan, their daughter?" After Chen Yun finished speaking, he fell silent, seemingly a bit shocked, unable to believe it.
"Can we trust that they’re not deceiving us? Maybe they’re acting just like us!" Lin Chan held a highly skeptical view of the Gu Family and the Lan Family’s submission to Xing Ye.
Xing Ye shook his head, "Let’s have He Teng handle it first. Then we’ll know if there’s any deceit, won’t we?"
Bian Xiulin spoke after a while, "Thinking about Zhilan suffering alone in the village, I really hope the Gu Family still has so conscience. Bian Muhe also said that after the miscarriage at the beginning of the year, Zhilan was weakened. If she’s not well nourished, I’m really afraid sothing could go wrong during childbirth. There are no doctors in the village, and dical care is underdeveloped. If things go wrong, it could be fatal for both."
Therefore, Xiulin was most worried about He Zhilan being pregnant at this ti. She was a mother and a doctor, and she knew more than anyone how dangerous childbirth could be for a woman.
