Chapter 217 - Chapter 217: An Old Friend from Twelve Years Ago 4_1

"I'm getting married this summer. The groom is my foster father's eldest son, also a military man." He Zhilan smiled awkwardly and sighed, "I am an adopted daughter-in-law of the He family. My family is poor, and when my foster father adopted me, it was to marry me off to my elder brother. But don't worry, my foster father treats me well, he loves me dearly. Otherwise, how could I, coming from a poor rural family, have had the chance to study at the capital's university? After the human traffickers took me away, they told my foster father that my own parents had sold me because they didn't want me. My brother and sister know that I was kidnapped, and I have asked them not to tell my foster father for now. He is a nice man, very honest. If he knew the truth, he'd blame himself terribly. He's getting up in years now and I don't want him to bear that kind of psychological torment."
