Several men all talked over each other, recounting what had happened earlier.
Gu Zihao’s face turned unbelievably ugly.
What the hell, where had Gu Wanshi suddenly gotten such a capable bodyguard?
And that day she’d also spent a hundred thousand ordering food at the restaurant.
Where on earth was her money coming from?
Gu Zihao kept feeling that this so-called younger sister he’d just recently acknowledged seemed somehow different from before.
She hadn’t come home for two nights, and she’d even blacklisted all of their family’s phone numbers.
Actually, this was exactly what Gu Zihao wanted, he’d never wanted to acknowledge this so-called biological sister in the first place.
But he’d already promised Gu Wanning that he’d teach Gu Wanshi a proper lesson and get revenge for her!
He’d originally planned to have her brought back, then dragged in front of Gu Wanning to apologize, who would have thought these useless idiots…
“Get out, all of you, get out!”
The men scrambled out in a panic.
Gu Zihao then called his secretary in.
“Go find out what exactly Gu Wanshi has been doing lately. Does she have some way of making money?”
“Yes, sir.”
That evening, Gu Wanshi and Gu Wanhe met at “Drunken Sea and Clouds” restaurant.
Gu Wanshi was a luxury supreme member of the restaurant, every time she came to eat, no matter how much she spent, she could enjoy a premium private room, along with a twenty percent discount on dishes and a free bottle of premium red wine of her choice.
Sitting in the private room, Gu Wanhe was utterly astonished.
“Wanshi, you really are rich now, able to come eat here and even get a luxury supreme membership!” Gu Wanhe said. “If I remember right, that’s five hundred thousand a month? I’ve never been able to bring myself to spend that much!”
“Cousin, actually I’ve been doing investments for a while now,” Gu Wanshi said, trotting out the story she’d already prepared. “So I have quite a bit of money on hand.”
“So that’s how it is. Looks like you’re an investment genius! Hmph, I really don’t understand what Second Uncle’s family is thinking, ignoring such a wonderful biological daughter of their own and treating an adopted daughter like a treasure instead…”
Gu Wanhe had never gotten along with Gu Wanning since childhood, that little green tea bitch had schemed against her more than once when they were young.
“Cousin, this is for you.”
Gu Wanshi took out a box and handed it to Gu Wanhe.
Gu Wanhe opened it and her eyes went wide. “Isn’t this the latest diamond necklace? I remember it costs over two hundred thousand? Wanshi, this is…”
“Cousin, thank you for introducing me to such a great bodyguard like Zhao Tong. This is my gift to you,” Gu Wanshi said with a smile.
She’d already had the system assess Gu Wanhe earlier, both her appearance and her character met the system’s evaluation standards, so the money Gu Wanshi spent on her could count toward the quest.
“No, I can’t accept a gift this expensive.”
“Cousin, don’t worry about that yet. Besides thanking you for introducing me to the bodyguard, there’s something else I want to ask for your help with.”
“What is it? Go ahead.”
“I’d like to learn more about the situation at Gu Corporation,” Gu Wanshi said flatly.
Gu Wanhe had been with the company for several years now. Although she only held a mid-level position, she surely understood Gu Corporation quite well.
Gu Wanhe froze. “Wanshi, are you thinking of…”
“Cousin, you already know how I’ve been treated since I returned to the Gu family,” Gu Wanshi said with a cold smile. “I used to always think about blood ties and didn’t want to fight them over it, but now I’m done putting up with it. They even took the assets Grandfather specifically left for me and want to give them to Gu Wanning instead!”
“What, something like that happened?” Gu Wanhe frowned. “That’s going too far!”
“So I have no choice but to fight back. Cousin, I won’t say much else, but I can promise you this: if you work with me, your standing at Gu Corporation will end up far higher than it is now,” Gu Wanshi said with a smile.
Gu Wanhe thought it over for a moment, then smiled as well and tucked the box into her bag.
“All right. I’ll accept this gift from you.”
After finishing the meal, Gu Wanshi went to the restroom.
Zhao Tong had been following her every step, and once Gu Wanshi went into the restroom, Zhao Tong stood guard outside.
After she finished and was heading back to the private room to call Gu Wanhe to leave together, Gu Wanshi suddenly noticed that the door of the private room next to theirs was half-open, and there was chaos inside.
An elderly woman lay slumped in a chair, eyes tightly shut, her face already starting to turn pale.
“Grandma, what’s wrong, wake up!” a girl shouted, gripping the elderly woman’s hand.
“An ambulance, hurry and call an ambulance!”
“Forget the ambulance, just carry Grandma to my car and drive her to the hospital!”
“No, that won’t work. It’s rush hour traffic right now, and looking at the old lady’s condition, I’m afraid…”
“What nonsense are you talking about!” the girl shouted, grabbing the speaker’s collar. “Nothing is going to happen to my grandmother!”
Several of the restaurant’s managers and staff were also inside. One manager wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, “It won’t work. The traffic outside is terrible right now, cars can’t even get through, and even if we call an ambulance, it probably won’t be able to get in for quite a while…”
“But my grandmother is already like this! If we don’t do something soon…”
“The doctor’s here!” a staff member called out.
Being a high-end restaurant, it had a small medical office on-site, along with a doctor named Ma Fang.
But not many people ever suffered sudden medical emergencies while dining at the restaurant, and even when they did, it was usually something minor. This Ma Fang had gotten the job through connections and didn’t have much medical skill at all, in truth, he could hardly be called a “doctor.”
The moment he saw the elderly woman’s current state, he panicked.
“You’re the doctor, right? Can you save my grandmother?” the girl asked in a panic. “Please look at what’s wrong with her!”
“…I’ll do my best.”
Ma Fang walked over to the elderly woman, took out a stethoscope, and began examining her.
Gu Wanshi had been watching from outside the doorway the whole time.
By now, she’d already more or less figured out what was wrong with the elderly woman.
After all, she now had all medical knowledge in her mind, calling herself a miracle doctor wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
And what’s more, she recognized the elderly woman’s face from the original owner’s memories. If the original owner remembered correctly, then this elderly woman was…
Watching Ma Fang stammer on and on without being able to say what was actually wrong with the elderly woman, the girl in the private room shouted anxiously, “Can you save my grandmother or not? Aren’t you the restaurant’s doctor?”
Ma Fang steeled himself and said through gritted teeth, “There’s nothing more to be done. Please accept my condolences.”
There was no way he could afford to lose this high-paying job!
As for the old woman… well, blame it on her bad luck! Who told her to have a medical emergency at the restaurant right during rush hour?
Although his medical skill wasn’t great, even he could tell from the old woman’s condition that if she wasn’t treated promptly, she definitely wouldn’t make it to the hospital!
He didn’t know how to treat her, but he also couldn’t let anyone know his skills were lacking, so he simply decided to claim the old woman had been beyond saving from the start, that way, it shouldn’t come back on him.
“What did you say?” The girl’s face turned deathly pale in an instant, her hands trembling uncontrollably.
She cried out in anguish, “You’re lying! How could my grandmother suddenly be beyond saving! I don’t believe you, hurry up and cure my grandmother!”
Although Ma Fang felt a twinge of guilt, he forced himself to stay composed on the surface. “Am I the doctor here, or are you? Even an immortal from the heavens couldn’t save her now!”
Just then, an angry shout rang out: “Nonsense!”
