197 Sister Man’s Acupuncture
Bai Yun felt like he was about to be sold.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
Bai Yun took a step away and looked at Xiang Yin warily.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Yin smiled enigmatically, but he went downstairs without saying a word, leaving Bai Yun scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously behind him.
Even when they were driving, Bai Yun was still asking, “Why were you looking at me like that just now? I feel like you’re having designs on me.”
Bai Yun glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Xiang Yin resting in the backseat with his eyes closed.
“Don’t think that I won’t know if you don’t say it,” Bai Yun snorted.
Seeing that Xiang Yin had yet to move, Bai Yun suddenly shouted, “Aiya, I went to watch the Guzheng compet.i.tion with Sister Gu Man yesterday. Not bad.”
After Bai Yun finished speaking, he thought to himself, Little thing, I don’t believe you’ll still pretend to sleep.
Sure enough, Bai Yun saw Xiang Yin’s eyes move in the rearview mirror and he sat up straight.
Bai Yun deliberately fell silent. After a long time, Xiang Yin finally said, “If you have something to say, say it!”
“Say what?” Bai Yun pretended not to understand and asked in confusion.
When he felt that the pressure in the car seemed to have decreased, Bai Yun finally spoke out of fear. “Yesterday, Gu Man announced in public at the banquet that she had cut ties with the Gu family. Didn’t you see the video online?”
Xiang Yin frowned. “What did the Gu family say?”
Bai Yun said disdainfully, “What else can they say? They’re definitely unwilling, but there’s nothing they can do. The Gu family cares about Gu Man’s ident.i.ty as an adopted daughter. After all, this ident.i.ty has brought many benefits to the Gu family, but they want these benefits and are unwilling to treat Gu Man well. They want it but are unwilling to pay. They’re really greedy.”
“The Gu family has really reached the end.” Xiang Yin sneered.
“They asked for it.”
“How’s Gu Man?”
“It’s alright. I think she has a plan, and she said it firmly. She didn’t seem to be forcing herself. I didn’t expect a high school student like her to be so decisive. It’s really not bad,” Bai Yun praised. Then, he changed the topic. “So, why were you looking at me just now?”
Unexpectedly, Xiang Yin said leisurely, “You’ll know in the future.”
In the face of Xiang Yin’s suspense, Bai Yun had already despised him deeply a few times. However, he was helpless and could only drive in silence.
The next morning, at dawn, Gu Man’s house had already started to move.
The reason why Gu Man chose to perform acupuncture in the morning was because her acupuncture technique was more effective when the sun first rose in the morning.
Gu Man had already tidied up the study last night. She laid down a soft cushion and lit some incense.
Gu Man helped her grandmother sit down. The two of them sat quietly for a while before Gu Man said softly, “Grandma, let’s start.”
“Okay, Manman. Just do your best. Don’t tire yourself out, understand?” Grandma said kindly.
Gu Man nodded and untied the silver needle bag. A row of silver needles of various sizes, long and short, shone with silver light. “Grandma, lie down and close your eyes to rest. You’ll feel a little sore and numb later. It’s a normal feeling.”
After half an hour of acupuncture, Gu Man pulled out the needle and called out softly, “Grandma, it’s done.”
Only then did the old lady seem to wake up slowly. She smiled and asked, “You’re done? So fast.”
The old lady stretched her legs and said in surprise, “Manman, my legs seem to be much more comfortable. I used to feel stiff and numb, but now I seem to be much more agile. My Manman is really amazing!”
“Grandma, stop teasing me. How can it work so quickly?” Gu Man said with a smile as she carefully disinfected the silver needles.
The old lady slowly stood up and walked around. She said in surprise, “Manman, it’s real. I feel much more relaxed all over. My bones don’t feel any pain anymore. I didn’t expect our Manman to be so powerful.”
The old lady opened the door and walked to the hall. Huang Jun immediately asked, “Aunt, how is it?”
The old lady smiled like a flower. “I feel a few years younger now. I feel comfortable all over. In the past, I always felt my bones go numb and stiff. Now that the feeling has disappeared, I’m still not used to it.”
The old lady laughed loudly at the end.
Huang Jun exclaimed, “In that case, our Manman’s medical skills are already so good?”
However, Gu Man felt a little tired. She focused for half an hour, and she had just exerted some spiritual energy, so she felt very tired the moment she relaxed. It seemed like she had to catch up on sleep during cla.s.s.
