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.
