Gu Man could tell that Jia Ling had ulterior motives in her eyes. Her expression was calm. “He hasn’t been fully treated yet. I can’t be considered young and promising.”
“Miss Gu, don’t be humble. Since you’ve already said so, it means that you’re confident. This is a good thing. The Chinese medicine world needs a treasure like you.” Jia Ling was no longer as confrontational as before. She had a fawning expression on her face.
Before this, she still had the right to quarrel with Gu Man, but after this matter, she could only admit defeat obediently. After Old Master Cui woke up, if Cui Hong’s words did not work, she could at least get Gu Man to help her put in a few good words. Based on how much Old Master Cui doted on Gu Man, he would definitely listen and she would have a chance to continue staying in the Cui family.
She could only swallow her pride for the time being.
This was not the first time she had done such a thing. When she tried her best to enter the Cui Family, she had long abandoned her pride. It was just that she had stayed in the Cui Family for a long time recently and had raised her little bit of self-esteem. However, she still knew when she had to keep her self-esteem and when she shouldn’t.
Initially, Gu Man did not intend to argue too much with Jia Ling. After all, she had only threatened her verbally and did not take any practical actions. However, since she had taken practical actions, she should pay the price. It was not something that could be avoided with just a few words of flattery.
Gu Man only glanced at Jia Ling casually and did not respond. Instead, she stood up. “He’s too weak and needs to nourish his body. 1’11 prescribe the prescription for you later. You guys follow the instructions and get the medicine. As for what you can’t find…”
When Gu Man said this, she paused and looked at Cui Lin.
Cui Lin immediately understood and quickly raised his hand. “You can go to my herb storage if you can’t find it. I can contribute everything.”
She recalled that when she asked Cui Lin for herbs, he acted like she was asking for his life. Now that he went to take them out selflessly, it seemed that he had a deep relationship with the Cui family. She thought that he had lived outside for so long because he had a conflict with the Cui family, but it seemed that it was not what she thought.
Gu Man nodded in satisfaction. “But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that he can’t be provoked anymore. Today almost killed him.”
Although she did not know what had happened, her sharp gaze still swept across everyone present.
When Cui Lin heard this, his eyes turned cold and he glared fiercely at Jia Ling.
Gu Man saw Cui Lin’s gaze and understood who the reason was. She finally understood why Jia Ling wanted to please her just now.
She snorted. It was even more impossible to forgive Jia Ling now.
Jia Ling felt the gazes from all directions. Her body trembled two or three times, and her face turned even paler. She moved her lips and quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, 1 really didn’t expect it to happen again! 1 must take good care of Dad during this period.”
Gu Man glanced at her and narrowed her eyes. It was unknown if she believed her or not. She said, “I’ll be staying with the Cui Family for the time being to take care of Old Master Cui’s daily needs. I won’t trouble you guys. After all, I’m worried that something will happen during the treatment.”
Although she did not say it explicitly, the others understood what she meant.
When Cui Hong heard this, he felt even more guilty and had no intention of objecting. After all, this matter was indeed partly because of him. Moreover, with Gu Man’s ident.i.ty, he had no reason to refuse. She was a part of the Cui Family, so it was only right for her to stay here. Hence, Cui Hong nodded and agreed. “I have no objections. It just so happens that no one has lived in the guest room before. We can clean it up.”
Jia Ling was stunned. If Gu Man lived here, how could she rely on taking care of Old Master Cui to gain sympathy and forgiveness?
Hence, Jia Ling pinched her thigh hard and tears instantly flowed down her face. “I’m indeed in the wrong in this matter. 1 really won’t do it again. You have to give me a chance to make up for my mistakes. Besides, Miss Gu, you’re still busy with your studies during school. Leave this to me. I’m more experienced..”
