Chapter 776: Cross Swords (2)
Bai Youran raised her chin in pride after hearing the introduction.
Gu Qingyao paused and said, “The Bai family? I think I have heard about the Bai family in the capital. It’s an elite and wealthy family. Are you from that family?”
Zheng Min was proud as she replied, “Of course!”
Gu Qingyao looked confused, “Since the Bai family is so powerful, what kind of doctor can’t you find? Why do you have to look for a student like me with little experience?”
Zheng Min, “…”
Bai Youran: “…”
Zheng Min had met all kinds of people these years as the madam of a wealthy family. People at Gu Qingyao’s age were usually very obedient. Some were unreasonable. However, it was rare to see someone who was so smart and knew how to deal with people.
In order for her daughter to get treatment for her, Zheng Min hid her unhappiness. It was rare for her to meet someone who dared to speak to her in this way after knowing her ident.i.ty. She was curious to find out how capable this girl was.
Zheng Min smiled. “Everyone knows about Jiang Yiru. As her disciple, I think you’re very skilled. With your six years of knowledge overseas, I believe you’re experienced. Am I right?”
Gu Qingyao smiled, “Of course, I’m experienced. Young Lady Bai, please give me your hand for some examinations.”
Bai Youran wanted to say something but was stopped by Zheng Min. She asked her to sit down quietly for the consultation.
Though Bai Youran was not happy about that, she still listened to her mother. She then stretched out her arm.
Gu Qingyao knew about the situation after taking her pulse. She was aware of what her teacher had done over the years and her intention of sending them here.
The needle had been in Bai Youran’s leg for seven years. Her teacher helped control the pain to allow her to suffer less. However, she was not able to get rid of her.
Initially, her teacher was sure that no one else would find out. However, it was different now. Bai Youran’s leg seemed to be deteriorating. It would affect her after a long time – it had already been seven years.
She was fierce when she secretly inserted the needle into Bai Youran in order for her to learn her lesson. She wanted to remove it for her after some time, but she forgot about it when she was about to go overseas.
Now the free era had arrived, and there were no more restrictions on travelling overseas. Based on the Bai family’s background, they could afford to go overseas for treatment. If they found out the cause, they would definitely investigate when they came back.
Her teacher was worried that she might get into trouble.
However, Gu Qingyao knew that if the root cause was revealed, Bai Youran would definitely put the blame on her whether there was actually anything to do with her.
As long as she knew about her relations.h.i.+p with Mo Beihan, Bai Youran would frame her, especially when she studied Chinese medicine. This gave her a reason to look for trouble.
Gu Qingyao made a decision and spoke to Bai Youran, “Put your leg here, and I’ll take a look.”
Bai Youran moved her injured leg over. Gu Qingyao pinched her leg and asked for some details. Bai Youran was not in the mood, so Zheng Min helped her answer. Without knowing whether Gu Qingyao would have any treatment, she did not have to challenge Gu Qingyao.
Gu Qingyao said, “I have a treatment, but it’ll take some time and energy.”
After hearing that there might be a possible treatment, both Bai Youran and Zheng Min could not sit still.
“What’s the treatment?”
“I’ll perform a surgery. There’s something in between your bones. I’ll use the surgery to take it out.”
Bai Youran and Zheng Min were terrified after hearing that there was something in her body.
“What… what’s inside my body?”
