Chapter 129: Ah, She Had Been Spotted
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Qin Rui saw Gu Mang set one foot in the car, her hands in her pocket. Suddenly she tilted her head in a wild manner and fixated on something.
He followed her gaze. All he saw was a row of pitch black cedar trees.
He asked, “Ms. Gu, what’s wrong?”
Retracting her gaze, Gu Mang got in the car. “Nothing much.”
They drove off.
In the backseat, her face was hidden in the shadows. She played with her phone nonchalantly as her faint sinister smirk vanished quickly.
Ah, she had been spotted.
…
Lei Xiao stood behind the trees for two whole hours and saw Qin Rui’s car leaving the compound. His face was covered in shock and he was left in a trance.
Mrs. Qin, the capital’s socialite, was so respectful to Gu Mang and Qin Rui had personally held the door for her.
He had always thought that Gu Mang committed all manner of evil because of her face and did not expect to witness such a scene.
What on earth was going on?!
Qin Rui was not some ordinary street urchin. He was the young master of the capital’s Qin family. Although he was not as well-known as the pampered Qin Fang, he was one of the most outstanding of his younger generation. Moreover, Qin Yaozhi was the most favored little princess of the Qin family along with Qin Rui.
Lei Xiao had inquired about the Qin family from others after Qin Rui snatched his promotion. Given Qin Rui’s status, did he really need to bow down to Gu Mang?!
In a trance, Lei Xiao instructed the chauffeur, who was about to fall asleep, to head back.
…
Gu Yin finished her homework and was going to the toilet when she met Lei Xiao, who came upstairs. She obediently addressed him, “Uncle.”
Lei Xiao said insipidly, “Why aren’t you asleep?”
Gu Yin smiled. “I just finished my homework. I’m washing up and getting reading for bed.”
“Mhm, sleep early,” Lei Xiao reminded her before heading to his room.
Gu Yin looked at Lei Xiao’s silhouette in confusion because it was rare to see him adrift.
Giving it a thought for a few seconds, she entered the bathroom.
“Yinyin.” Lei Xiao suddenly called out to her.
Gu Yin turned around and saw him looking at her with a complicated expression.
She felt as if her heart were being squeezed. “What’s wrong, Uncle?”
Staring at her for a few seconds, he did not ask about Gu Mang and changed the topic. “How are your results this time?”
Gu Yin pursed her lips at the mention of results. “Second, my overall score is lower than Meng Jinyang’s by 30 points.”
Lei Xiao could not wrap his mind around how Meng Jinyang’s studies were so outstanding when she had only attended school for a few weeks. She was first in her cohort for several examinations. She was clearly not that intelligent when she was younger and was even embroiled in some kind of case.
Frowning, he replied sternly, “I know that you want to get into the Capital University’s medical school. However, given your current results you’re a far cry from joining the medical organization and becoming Yu Zhongjing’s disciple.”
“I got it, Uncle,” Gu Yin said obediently. “I’ll work harder.”
The Capital University’s medical school was the best medical college in the country. The school even had the medical organization’s top neurologist, Yu Zhongjing, as its honorary dean. Yu Zhongjing was known as the leading academic in medicine and was well-respected.
The Yu family had a history of producing skilled doctors. The physician who attended to the last emperor was rumored to have belonged to the Yu family.
After the last dynasty was overthrown the status of traditional chinese medicine suffered a disastrous decline due to the introduction of western medicine.
The Yu family’s status was greatly affected and never recovered. It only managed to preserve its reputation as a family of doctors.
It was only in the last decade after Yu Zhongjing authored an academic paper about western and chinese medicine that chinese medicine began to revitalize. He referred to both types as modern medicine and pointed to their common merits. Western medicine took effect faster while traditional chinese medicine focused on nourishment. Yu Zhongjing’s paper won many accolades from the medical organization.
Yu Zhongjing said he was not the most skilled at acupuncture. However, in terms of neurology, nobody could surpass him. He was truly the leading neurology expert.
