Tang Youyou’s expression cracked.
Who else could be so shamelessly righteous about scheming against another family?
*What kind of constitution did the original owner have? Why did she keep running into such bizarre people?*
But…
Tang Youyou’s eyes suddenly lit up again.
*Drag another family down with them?*
Then why couldn’t it be the Qin family?
If she reported the Qin family, not only could it buy the Tang family some time, but she could also get a portion of compensation from the Qin family.
Thinking about the earth-shattering secret Tang Jiaojiao had told them that evening, Tang Youyou couldn’t help but grin.
*Heh. This was definitely worth thinking through carefully.*
Suppressing the thoughts in her eyes, Tang Youyou asked,
“Are you finished eating?”
“Huh?”
Gu Jinzhi felt that this little girl seemed to have changed.
She had become impossible for him to figure out.
Weren’t they discussing how to resolve the Tang family’s current crisis?
Why did he suddenly have a feeling that the conversation was about to end?
Sure enough, in the next moment, Tang Youyou said,
“If you’re finished, get out. Bring me the letter of recommendation first thing tomorrow morning. I’m going to sleep.”
As she spoke, she even yawned, as if afraid Gu Jinzhi wouldn’t believe her.
Gu Jinzhi paused.
*Isn’t she crossing the river and tearing down the bridge a little too quickly?*
Tang Youyou didn’t care in the slightest.
She stretched and walked back into her room. Before closing the window, she even tossed something outside.
Gu Jinzhi instinctively caught it.
It was a stack of paper and a pen.
Gu Jinzhi: “…”
“Oh, right!”
Before his expression could completely crack, Tang Youyou added,
“Until I’m sure your medical skills are actually impressive, you’re only my nominal master. You know what ‘nominal’ means, right?”
*Fuck!*
Gu Jinzhi raged helplessly inside.
*Ahhhhh! How can there be such an unlikable little brat in this world?!*
Tang Youyou had no idea about his fury.
With her immediate crisis temporarily resolved, she slept wonderfully.
When she woke up, it was already past ten.
If she hadn’t had plans for today, she would have slept the entire day away.
Today, she wore a cream-colored qipao that accentuated her graceful figure.
When she went downstairs, she indeed saw Zhou Ping sitting in the living room.
Tang Youyou frowned and reminded her to get some moderate exercise. She then said she had something to do and wouldn’t be home for lunch before heading out through the back door.
As she stepped outside, she was almost startled by Gu Jinzhi, who was leaning against the door and sleeping.
He apparently hadn’t been expecting her either.
His head slammed heavily against the doorframe.
He grabbed the back of his head and climbed to his feet angrily. But the moment he saw Tang Youyou, his furious expression instantly disappeared and was replaced by an ingratiating smile.
“Girl, I’ve already written the letter of recommendation you wanted.”
He pulled a letter from inside his clothes.
Tang Youyou opened it and raised one eyebrow.
“I didn’t expect your handwriting to be pretty good.”
“Of course!”
Gu Jinzhi’s pride practically went through the roof.
“Who am I? I’m the eighteenth-generation heir of the Gu Medical Hall. If I didn’t have beautiful handwriting, how could I—”
Tang Youyou wasn’t interested in listening to any of this.
She put the recommendation letter away and rudely interrupted him.
“I remember giving you more than a dozen sheets of writing paper. Where are the rest?”
Gu Jinzhi’s expression stiffened.
His eyes darted away, and even his ears turned red.
“W-Why are you asking so much? You gave them to me, so they’re mine now. They’re just a few sheets of paper. Don’t tell me you want them back?”
Tang Youyou looked at the dark circles under his eyes and exposed him without mercy.
“I bet your other handwriting looked so ugly that you threw it away.”
“I…”
Gu Jinzhi wanted to argue.
But when he met Tang Youyou’s knowing gaze, he could only answer sheepishly,
“Well, I haven’t written anything for decades. Of course I needed to practice.”
Tang Youyou looked at him suspiciously.
“Are you sure your junior apprentice brother can recognize your handwriting?”
Gu Jinzhi: “…”
*Don’t get angry.*
*He’s an elder. Why should he get angry with a little brat?*
*Calm down, Gu Jinzhi.*
*If you get worked up and ruin your health, no one will care.*
After mentally reassuring himself several times, Gu Jinzhi’s face finally stopped looking quite so red.
He reached out, attempting to snatch the letter from Tang Youyou’s hand.
“If you don’t want it, give it back.”
Tang Youyou dodged him and slipped it into her handbag.
“Who said I don’t want it? I have somewhere to be. I’m leaving.”
“Hey!”
Gu Jinzhi hurriedly called after her.
Tang Youyou thought for a moment, then suddenly understood.
She pulled out a few yuan and stuffed the money into Gu Jinzhi’s hand.
Gu Jinzhi glared at her.
“Who wants your money?”
Tang Youyou asked,
“Don’t you need to eat?”
Gu Jinzhi: “…”
*Eat, of course he needed to eat.*
But this little brat’s gesture…
*Did she really think he was a beggar?*
He stuffed the money back into her hand and stubbornly lifted his chin.
“I want roast chicken.”
“If you want it, go buy it yourself.”
“No! I want the roast chicken from your house.”
Tang Youyou rolled her eyes.
“You’re seriously such a pain.”
Gu Jinzhi became furious.
He stomped his foot and immediately flopped onto the ground, crying loudly.
“Everyone, come and take a look…”
For the first time since transmigrating, Tang Youyou’s expression completely cracked.
*This guy really has no shame!*
Seeing that he had already attracted the attention of several people, she gritted the words out through her teeth.
“Wait.”
She was wearing canvas shoes, yet she stomped around as though they were high heels, practically wishing she could drive her heel straight into Gu Jinzhi’s shameless face.
But then—
*No!*
Tang Youyou stopped.
*How could she let someone threaten her so easily?*
She had lived for more than twenty years, and no one had ever managed to threaten her.
Tang Youyou suddenly turned around, rested her right hand against the doorframe, and said to Gu Jinzhi, whose eyes were filled with anticipation,
“There is no roast chicken. Cry and make as much of a scene as you want. I have somewhere to be. I’m leaving.”
Gu Jinzhi: “…”
Watching her retreating figure, Gu Jinzhi clenched his back teeth.
*What a heartless, ungrateful little brat.*
### Outside First People’s Hospital
Tang Youyou clutched her stomach, looking uncomfortable.
Beside her, Tang Yue saw her condition and put on a concerned expression.
“Are you okay?”
Tang Youyou nodded weakly, her face pale.
“No. I’m in so much pain. It hurts so badly. Why do I have to suffer this every month while you never have any problems?”
*Serves you right.*
Tang Yue suppressed the satisfaction in her eyes.
“Maybe it’s because Zhou Ping always bathed you in cold water when you were little.”
Tang Youyou rolled her eyes inwardly.
*As expected of Cai Jinhe’s granddaughter. She can lie without even blinking.*
Tang Youyou deliberately put on an exasperated expression, then let out another miserable cry.
“Ow! It hurts so much! Let’s hurry inside.”
She leaned her entire weight against Tang Yue.
Tang Yue staggered under the weight and nearly fell, dragging Tang Youyou down with her.
“Are you all right?”
A doctor passing by reached out and steadied her.
Tang Yue hurriedly thanked him.
The doctor was momentarily dazzled by Tang Youyou’s beautiful appearance and instinctively showed concern.
Just then, someone called from not far away,
“Doctor Qian, over here!”
Doctor Qian hesitated and glanced at Tang Youyou one more time before reluctantly leaving.
When he arrived, an elderly woman was making a huge fuss.
“I don’t want to go to the military hospital! I’m already fine, aren’t I?”
Yang Minghui turned around and tried to leave, but Lu Tingnan stopped her.
“Grandma, listen. Doctor Qian said you need to stay under observation a little longer.”
The nurse beside them nodded in agreement.
“That’s right, Ma’am. Your blood pressure is still a little high, and you’re at risk of having another stroke at any time.”
Yang Minghui frowned.
“Then I still don’t want to go to the military hospital. I’m perfectly fine here.”
Lu Tingnan rubbed his forehead.
“My mom is at the military hospital. It’ll be more convenient for her to take care of you there.”
But Yang Minghui stubbornly lifted her chin.
“I don’t need anyone to take care of me. If you really want someone to look after me, have Mingxuan get me a granddaughter-in-law. Then I’ll have someone to take care of me.”
As luck would have it, Huo Mingxuan returned after picking up her medicine.
She grabbed Huo Mingxuan and demanded an answer.
“Mingxuan, what about that young woman I told you to find?”
Huo Mingxuan was helpless.
“I’m looking. I’ll find her soon. The moment I do, I’ll bring her to see you, all right?”
“That’s more like it.”
Yang Minghui was finally satisfied.
Tang Youyou was just about to go inside.
But the moment she heard Huo Mingxuan’s voice, she instinctively looked over.
A military vehicle was parked to the right of the hospital entrance.
Not long afterward, the vehicle drove away, disappearing from sight.
Tang Youyou paused.
She looked again, unwilling to give up.
In the end, she could only reluctantly withdraw her gaze.
