The selfish intention is there as well, hoping to kill two birds with one stone, and temporarily give the Gu Family some peace.
"He Teng, I've been to your hometown. I heard from your folks about things between you and Zhilan when you were kids. Zhilan was just eighteen, just graduated from high school when you two got married. The locals said that Zhilan didn't want to marry you at all back then; it was the He Family that forced her to marry you." Gu Hengyuan was somewhat heartbroken, their daughter was forced to marry someone at eighteen, marrying He Teng, who was just a small-time leader back then.
He Teng was exactly nine years older than He Zhilan! If at that time the Gu Family had already found their biological daughter, they would never have agreed to this marriage.
