Chapter 1186: 1186

Gu Mengmeng laughed awkwardly . She wanted to say something more but Bai Lan had already hung up .

Gu Mengmeng stole a peak at Snakel before saying in a small voice . “That… Bai Lan is a very good person . She has a rather hot temper but she doesn’t harbor any ill intentions, you…”

“I know . ” Snakel caressed Gu Mengmeng’s little head .

He knew this Bai Lan had been friends with Gu Mengmeng since high school . More than once she had gotten into a fight with others for Gu Mengmeng’s sake—she was an extremely loyal friend . Every time Gu Mengmeng decided to endure some mistreatment in silence, it was this Bai Lan who would grab her arm and charge out . “As long as I am still alive, no one can bully my girl!”

Once, Bai Lan had tried to help Gu Mengmeng claim her due wages, and was beaten up by the restaurant security . She ended up being hospitalized for two months, completely bedridden . Even now, she still bore a scar on her back .

Snakel knew this through Gu Mengmeng’s memories . Bai Lan had appeared before Gu Mengmeng all covered in blood, to hand her an envelope containing her wages and saying, “Girl, I have claimed back what they owe you . ” She then collapsed right in front of Gu Mengmeng . That incident had a major impact on Gu Mengmeng, which was why she had an exceptionally clear memory of it .

Snakel had allowed such things to happen as he didn’t want to interfere with the development of Gu Mengmeng’s life experiences—but what Gu Mengmeng and her friend didn’t know was that during Bai Lan’s hospitalization, the medicines used were specially imported, while her doctors were also overseas experts brought over by Snakel and pretending to be normal physicians . As for the people who owed Gu Mengmeng her wages…

Ha, rumor had it that the restaurant owner got addicted to drugs and splurged the entire family fortune on them . In the end, he even sliced open his own belly saying that he wanted to sell his organs to buy more drugs .

There was no need for Gu Mengmeng to know all these and Snakel had no intention of telling her .

As for this Bai Lan friend of hers, Snakel held some modicum of respect for her .

After all, he could not show his face all those years, so it was lucky Gu Mengmeng had such loyal friends around .

About half an hour later, Zhan Jin Cheng and the entire basketball team arrived at the entrance to the amusement park . They rushed over all hot and bothered . “Where are they?!”

Gu Mengmeng and Snakel exchanged shocked looks . They? Who?

Zhan Jin Cheng was momentarily stunned by sight of the unbelievably calm couple . He cleared his throat and asked, “You were looking for us so urgently—isn’t it because someone wants to beat you two up?”

“Why would anyone want to beat us up?” Gu Mengmeng stared dumbfounded at Zhan Jin Cheng, who was clutching a baseball bat, as well as the others who were all wearing knuckle dusters . She paused for a moment before realizing that after receiving Snakel’s call, they must have thought he was getting bullied and had rushed over to help him fight off his assailants .

Gu Mengmeng waved her hands with a smile . “No, no . Senior, you misunderstood . Erm… Snakel’s relative is the manager of this amusement park and it is closed for maintenance today . His relative said he could bring some friends over to play for free this afternoon . That was why Snakel called you to ask you and everyone to come and have fun . ”

Zhan Jin Cheng heaved a sigh of relief before resting the bat across his shoulders . He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry . “Aiya damn, I still thought you were being pursued by some thugs . But you were just calling us out to play . ”

Snakel ignored Zhan Jin Cheng, and just stared unhappily at Gu Mengmeng .

She had called Zhan Jin Cheng “senior” . She was meant to address only him with that term, but she had actually used it on another person!
