Sheng Xin sneered, “If you’re so eager to avoid him, why were you at the hospital?”
Gu Dai looked at Sheng Xin seriously. “A hospital is a public place, not exclusive to Song Ling. By your logic, everyone there would be there just to get close to him.”
Sheng Xin persisted, “What about the trending topics online?”
Gu Dai yawned, countering, “Do you really think I would be the one to release such news online?”
Sheng Xin was uncertain. “Who knows?”
Gu Dai sighed. “If it were me, why would I bother to clarify it? Besides, leaking my relationship with him brings me no benefits.”
Sheng Xin paused, suddenly finding Gu Dai’s words quite rational.
Still unsure, she asked, “Do you truly no longer care about Song Ling?”
Gu Dai nodded, her face set with determination, her gaze sincere. “Of course!”
Seeing Gu Dai’s earnest demeanor, Sheng Xin slowly came to believe her. “That’s good to hear.”
She looked down, thinking of Song Ling’s distracted gaze towards Gu Dai. She couldn’t help but find the situation intriguing – even the indifferent Song Ling faced obstacles.
Gu Dai, seeing Sheng Xin’s amused smile, yawned again out of boredom and couldn’t resist asking, “Is there anything else you wanted to discuss?”
Sheng Xin came back to her senses, shaking her head and smiling. “I wish both our families continued success. Since you’re busy, Miss Gu, I won’t keep you.”
Gu Dai watched Sheng Xin leave, feeling a sense of disappointment.
Had she known it was just about Song Ling, she wouldn’t have wasted her time.
Meanwhile, at the Song residence…
w.a.n.g Lan, distressed over her halved allowance, clenched her teeth and decided to speak up. “Song Ling, I’ve thought it over. It was wrong of me to make baseless a.s.sumptions about Gu Dai.”
Song Ling looked at w.a.n.g Lan, pleasantly surprised, and nodded. “It’s good you’ve come to realize that.”
w.a.n.g Lan, gritting her teeth, ventured, “About the allowance you cut…”
Song Ling, in a good mood, relented. “I won’t deduct it this time.”
w.a.n.g Lan sighed in relief, her face still smiling but her heart filling with more resentment towards Gu Dai.
Once, she could spend as she pleased; now, she had to beg her son for money.
Song Yu, watching the family doctor, asked innocently, “There’s someone wearing a doctor’s coat here too. Is this a hospital?”
Song Ling explained softly, “No, this is our home, not a hospital.”
Song Yu was still puzzled. “Then why are they dressed like that?”
Song Ling clarified, “They are family doctors, here to check on your health. They’ll leave after the examination.”
Song Yu nodded, somewhat understanding.
As Song Yu underwent the check-up, w.a.n.g Lan voiced her concern, “Song Ling, can these doctors really cure Song Yu’s brain?”
Song Ling replied, “These are internationally renowned doctors. If they can’t cure her, it would be difficult for anyone else to.”
w.a.n.g Lan’s anxiety deepened, and she asked, “Son, where did you find these doctors?”
Song Ling’s expression stiffened momentarily. He certainly couldn’t admit that, after being scolded into confusion by Gu Dai the previous night, he had become convinced there was something wrong with his mind, prompting him to have them brought back home for a thorough examination, could he?
He avoided her gaze and said coldly, “I have my ways. Be quiet and wait for the results of Song Yu’s check-up.”
w.a.n.g Lan sensed something off but met Song Ling’s icy gaze and instinctively agreed, “Okay.”
An hour later, Song Yu had fallen asleep during the check-up.
Song Ling approached the doctors, “How is Song Yu’s condition?”
w.a.n.g Lan eagerly followed, “When can she return to normal?”
The doctor, frowning, sighed. “Her condition is particularly complicated. In all my years of practice, this is a first. I’m not sure how to treat her.”
w.a.n.g Lan’s world spun, and she retorted angrily, “Are you saying my Yuyu is beyond help? No, I don’t believe it. You must be incompetent, that’s why you can’t diagnose her!”
The doctor’s expression soured at her accusation.
Song Ling glared at w.a.n.g Lan, “Be quiet, or you can try treating Song Yu yourself..”
