Whenever Gu Hengyuan mentioned the name Gu Zhilan, he did so with an indifferent tone, even tinged with a hint of contempt and disdain. Yet, despite the ease in his words, every time he uttered her name, as a father, he felt as if his heart were being torn apart.
"We have Xiao'en. We've long since lost any affection for Gu Zhilan as a daughter. Moreover, now the Gu Family and her are practically sworn enemies. We haven't forgotten—this He Zhilan is aligned with Xing Ye's side. These days, she probably wishes she could destroy the Gu Family entirely. To put it bluntly, this He Zhilan is just one of Xing Ye's pawns." Gu Hengyuan stated.
"Is that truly so?" Shen Old Master asked with a hint of skepticism.
