He Zhilan agreed to withdraw the lawsuit, which surprised Lan Li. Moreover, He Zhilan did not take a single penny after withdrawing the case. This decisiveness left Lan Li at a loss.
The only thing that came to mind was that He Zhilan must have compromised for He Teng's future. If so, why then did they suddenly divorce later? And even more so, why didn't she take any settlement from the Gu family?
"Try to find an opportunity to ask your comrade He Teng and find out what's going on with He Zhilan. Speaking of which, if your cousin Zhilan hadn't disappeared, she'd be the same age as He Zhilan," Lan Li's mother instructed before hanging up the phone.
Lan Li's mother had heard about He Teng's situation from Lan Li, so she didn't bother asking Gu En about He Zhilan. Not only did she not know whether Gu En knew of Gu Zhilan's existence, but given Gu En's dislike for He Zhilan, she probably wouldn't get any useful information anyway.
