Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Zheng’s expression remained indifferent. “I know what you’re going to do. Remember, if you’re not back in an hour, I’ll personally look for you.”
Qiao Xi was terrified to the point of gulping. What was Gu Zheng talking about?! She only wanted to investigate the whereabouts of the pills she developed. Could it be that Gu Zheng thought she was here to meet someone? Moreover, from his jealous tone, could it be that he thought she was here to see another man?
At this moment, Qiao Xi inexplicably felt aggrieved. When she looked up and wanted to explain, Gu Zheng and Song Shijing had already left. She picked up her phone and looked at it. The person who sent the message was Doctor Shen from the Medical a.s.sociation. When Qin An was not around, he would be in charge here.
Qiao Xi shook her head helplessly and walked out of the private room to a secret pa.s.sage. She scanned her face and a door suddenly appeared on the wall beside her. She walked in with familiarity. The inside was very s.p.a.cious, and many people came and went. Doctor Shen had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw Qiao Xi enter, he hurriedly went forward to welcome her. “Eldest Miss, you’re finally here. Doctor Meng is waiting for you inside.”
Qiao Xi: “???”
She was stunned for a moment, and her face was filled with confusion. Who was Doctor Meng? She had never heard of him before, nor had she arranged to meet him!
Doctor Shen hurriedly said, “Eldest Miss, what are you thinking about?! Let’s go! Doctor Meng has been waiting for you for a long time. I’ll bring you there!”
Qiao Xi looked at Doctor Shen with a strange expression. Was someone really waiting for her? She suddenly reacted. She had come to investigate the pills today, but she did not expect Doctor Meng to coincidentally want to see her. Hence, everyone thought that she had arranged to meet Doctor Meng. Gu Zheng definitely knew about this, so he thought that she was meeting another man but did not tell him.
This was really a huge misunderstanding!
Qiao Xi’s face was ashen. Just as she was thinking about how to explain it to Gu Zheng, Doctor Shen hurriedly said, “Doctor Meng is Elder Lin’s grandson. Although Elder Lin made a mistake previously, his contribution to the Medical a.s.sociation can’t be erased. After he resigned, he recommended his grandson, Doctor Meng, to join the Medical a.s.sociation. Doctor Meng’s medical skills are outstanding, and he’s a peerless genius. His partic.i.p.ation will definitely bring greater contributions to the Medical a.s.sociation.
“Eldest Miss, I didn’t expect you to be willing to see Doctor Meng. But it’s true that what happened back then is in the past. You don’t have to take it to heart anymore.”
At this moment, Qiao Xi finally understood why Gu Zheng was acting so strangely today. Back then, Mr. Lin forged a paternity test report for Huang Lilan, causing Gu Zheng to bear the reputation of being an illegitimate child for more than 20 years. Although Mr. Lin took the initiative to admit his mistake later on, Gu Zheng had been treated coldly and cursed by others for the past 20 years. All the unfair treatment came from this paternity test report. All of this was irreparable.
Back then, because Elder Lin was a member of the Medical a.s.sociation and had a high status in the medical world, no one suspected that he was faking it. Now that she had come to see Old Master Lin’s grandson behind Gu Zheng’s back, it had definitely hurt Gu Zheng’s feelings.
“I don’t know this Doctor Meng! Moreover, why isn’t Elder Lin’s grandson surnamed Lin?” Qiao Xi frowned and asked.
Doctor Shen explained patiently, “Actually, Doctor Meng took his mother’s surname. I’m not too sure why, but Elder Lin dotes on his grandson very much.”
Doctor Meng was from a medical family, but Qiao Xi had never heard of him. It was as if this person had suddenly appeared, making others find it strange.
As the two of them spoke, Doctor Shen brought Qiao Xi into a room. She slowly raised her eyes and saw a young man sitting on the sofa. He was wearing a white coat, had neat hair, and had on gold-framed gla.s.ses. The corners of his mouth were slightly curled up. He was very handsome and should be the kind of man many girls liked.
He raised his eyes to glance at Qiao Xi but did not say anything. He just smiled lightly. He looked very gentle, but Qiao Xi felt that this person was not easy to deal with.
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Doctor Shen smiled awkwardly. “Eldest Miss, Doctor Shen, you guys chat first. I have something on, so I’ll leave first.”
After Doctor Shen left, Qiao Xi looked at Doctor Meng. She clearly did not know this man, so why did he ask to meet her?
“h.e.l.lo, Miss Qiao.” Before Qiao Xi could speak, the man greeted her with a smile. His tone was very gentle, and there was a smile in his eyes, but the smile did not reach his eyes. It was extremely strange.
In Qiao Xi’s opinion, this man was not as gentle as he seemed. His smile and gentle face were both masks.
