Gu Qingyao smiled. “Of course, it’s true. It’s the same for me when I was young. When you are not sure of your future, studying is the best option. Only studying will clear your mind. Those seniors are much more intelligent than us. There’s no harm learning from them.”
Zhong Bingyuan smiled. “Then I should spend more time with Brother Mo. I feel that though he’s only slightly older than me, he knows so much more. He feels like an encyclopaedia who knows everything.”
Gu Qingyao raised her brows as she stared at the young girl.
Mu Mu was indeed smart. He was the smartest among the children. But looking at the young girl’s actions, was Mu Mu so mature and attractive to her?
However…
There was nothing wrong with being childhood sweethearts. She attracted Mo Beihan’s attention at a young age.
Gu Qingyao chuckled and did not wish to interfere with the relations.h.i.+p between these two children. As long as there was nothing too extreme, their relations.h.i.+p was fine.
Zhong Bingyuan was exhausted and fell asleep after acupuncture.
When she left the room, Old Master Zhong and Zhong Guangping were waiting for her in the living room.
The two of them stood up immediately when they saw her.
Gu Qingyao said politely, “Don’t be so polite. Please sit. Yuan Yuan just fell asleep. This is the last treatment. She’ll be fine after finis.h.i.+ng the remaining medicine.
“Her recovery is good. You don’t need to worry about any complications that may affect her health. She has been through many hards.h.i.+ps in the past four years, but she will recover after a period of good rest. You don’t need to be worried.”
The two of them sighed in relief. Old Master Zhong and Zhong Guangping bowed towards her, “Thank you so much, Madam Mo.”
Gu Qingyao immediately held their arms. Though Zheng Lin was an irritating person, these two people knew their manners.
“Don’t be so polite to me. Yuan Yuan is a loveable girl. I didn’t spend too much effort. Don’t take it to heart.”
The two of them sat down. Though Gu Qingyao said in that way, both Old Master Zhong and Zhong Guangping did not think so.
Gu Qingyao saved Zhong Bingyuan’s life. They would always remember the grat.i.tude.
Zhong Guangping said, “No matter what, it’s a fact that Madam Mo saved Yuan Yuan. You spent your time and effort recently to treat her. Even the medicine is prescribed by you. As for the consultation fee… We must pay you, what do you think…”
Consultation fee?
Gu Qingyao raised her brows and thought for a second. “Two thousand yuan will do. It will include the cost for the medicine.”
Zhong Guangping was stunned. He did not expect that Gu Qingyao would only ask such a little amount.
Two thousand yuan was a huge amount of money in this era but definitely not worth mentioning for Gu Qingyao.
She treated Zhong Bingyuan a few times and prescribed different types of medicine to her. The consultation fee for a doctor like her was not overpriced at all.
Zhong Guangping took out two thousand yuan from her pocket and placed it on the table. He thanked Gu Qingyao again.

It was approaching the end of the year, and the weather was getting colder. Zhong Bingyuan eventually moved back to the Zhong family.
In order to show their grat.i.tude, Zhong Guangping bought a piece of land in a nearby village for Chen Feng and Chen Qingqing. He helped build a two-storey house for them and s.h.i.+fted their ident.i.ty to the capital.
Two storeys!
Chen Feng and Chen Qingqing felt too embarra.s.sed to accept, especially after the troubles that Zheng Lin caused. But Zhong Guangping insisted.
Zhong Bingyuan also came over to convince them to accept the offering. She could always come back and stay over in the future..
