Back to the 1980s: Transmigrated as the Bigshot's Pampered Wife Chapter 124: The Birth of Divine Doctor Su Gu

Everyone in the living room followed Grandpa Gu’s gaze and saw a very beautiful girl pushing a wheelchair in through the doorway.

She was wearing a white dacron shirt and black trousers, exuding an air of pure and sweet charm.

"Grandpa, your friends are here. Hello, Grandpas. Jiaojiao pays her respects."

Gu Jiaojiao greeted them playfully, beaming as she bowed to everyone.

Her skin was already fair, her features delicate and beautiful. When she smiled, dimples appeared on her cheeks, making her look even more enchanting.

Everyone nodded and smiled in response. The others were a bit more reserved, but Li An bood loudly.

"Well now, Old Guy Gu, this little granddaughter of yours looks just like an immortal! I’m absolutely smitten."

Grandpa Gu grinned from ear to ear. "Haha... Jiaojiao, this is Old Li. His given na is An, and he’s a history professor."

"It’s a pleasure to et you, Professor Li." Gu Jiaojiao had actually wanted to call him Grandpa Li, but she thought the title sounded a bit strange.

"Jiaojiao, my dear, you can just call Old Li! I hear your dical skills are amazing. Why don’t you take a look and see how much longer I have to live? Old Guy He says I’ll be six feet under soon!"

Gu Jiaojiao: ...

"Jiaojiao, don’t mind that crazy old man. Grandpa He is so glad you’re finally back. Did your grandfather really not take any dicine?"

The old man, dressed in a black Tang suit, was tall and thin with kind eyes. He walked over with a cheerful smile and patted Gu Jiaojiao’s shoulder as he asked.

"Jiaojiao, this is Old Man He. He cos from a family of traditional Chinese dicine practitioners and is now the most famous Divine Doctor in the Imperial City."

"Hello, He Shen Yi. My grandfather indeed didn’t take any dicine, but he did receive injections. He said that after years of taking dicine, just the sll of it makes him want to vomit."

It wasn’t that Gu Jiaojiao was being cruel and exposing her grandfather; it was just that an expert would know the truth at a glance.

Her grandfather’s organs were starting to fail due to chronic malnutrition. How could he possibly get better without injections or dicine?!

You could fool a layman, but trying to fool He Shen Yi, acclaid as China’s number one Divine Doctor, was simply impossible.

"Oh! Now that Jiaojiao has said that, this old man can rest easy. If it were really as Old Guy Gu claid, I would have died from anger.

But the fact that you cured a half-dead Old Guy Gu is more than enough proof of your incredible dical skills."

He Shen Yi got the answer he wanted. He patted Gu Jiaojiao’s shoulder, his smile growing even kinder.

"That’s just my grandfather trying to sing my praises. Compared to Grandpa He’s miraculous ability to bring the dying back to life, my skills are nothing but parlor tricks."

Gu Jiaojiao giggled and generously invited Li An to sit down so she could take his pulse.

’I learned long ago that the best kind of relationship isn’t about taking too much or being too independent, but about mutual indebtedness.’

’Through give and take, you let each other know: I need you, and I am indebted to you.’

Gu Jiaojiao’s poise and generosity imdiately won He Shen Yi over. He thought to himself, ’The disciple of a reclusive master truly is extraordinary.’

"Jiaojiao, my na is Xia Qiuming. The Xia for ’sumr,’ the Qiu for ’to seek,’ and the Ming for ’to understand.’ I teach at Imperial Capital dical University."

Seeing Gu Jiaojiao sit down to take a pulse, Xia Qiuming imdiately leaned in to introduce himself.

"Hello, Professor Xia. Shuoci ntioned on the way here that you’re known as China’s number one scalpel and are the most famous surgeon in Hua Country.

But I didn’t expect you to be so young, and so handso and elegant."

"Not at all, not at all. I only wish to use my life’s learning to care for every patient, to extend their lives and restore their health."

"Doctor Xia is not only divinely skilled but also has exquisite dical techniques. It’s truly admirable." Gu Jiaojiao genuinely admired Xia Qiuming.

Xia Qiuming was delighted to be praised so highly by Gu Jiaojiao, and his smile was like a spring breeze.

Regardless of age, the capable are respected. Being praised by soone worthy of respect is a reason to be happy.

Gu Jiaojiao took Li An’s pulse for a long ti, also considering the descriptions from Xia Qiuming and He Shen Yi.

Seeing Li An, who was as round as a ball, she concluded that he had diabetes, and a severe case at that.

As the disease progressed, Li An had already developed multi-system damage and was showing symptoms related to complications.

It was a disease that even the advanced dicine of later generations couldn’t cure, though it wasn’t imdiately fatal. No wonder He Shen Yi said Li An would be in the ground soon.

In this era of scarce dical supplies, a patient like Li An could easily end up as a portrait on the wall.

But in her space, Gu Jiaojiao had plenty of insulin glargine injections, recombinant human insulin injections, insulin aspart injections...

"Professor Li, your illness cannot be cured, but with long-term injections, living to be a hundred years old won’t be a problem."

"Jiaojiao, are you telling the truth?" Li An was so happy he felt like jumping up.

"Jiaojiao, you can make a dicine to treat Mr. Li?" Xia Qiuming exclaid in surprise.

"Jiaojiao’s dical skills are exquisite. Although she is not yet renowned in the dical world, she is an expert at treating all sorts of difficult and complex diseases. This old man is thoroughly impressed."

He Shen Yi’s eyes lit up, and he smiled like a Bodhisattva in a temple.

Jiaojiao could even treat Li An, who had been all but pronounced dead. Grandpa Gu, Geng Ruixian, and Eldest Brother Gu were profoundly shocked.

They realized that the injections Jiaojiao had been giving them every day were precious, life-saving dicines.

No wonder, Grandpa Gu thought. His body felt so much lighter after every injection, yet Jiaojiao had never ntioned how precious the dicine was.

Old Sir Xie and Xie Zhuoyu were also incredibly moved. A Divine Doctor had been right beside them all along, but they hadn’t known.

She not only possessed exquisite dical skills but also embodied a generous dical ethic; her thod of diagnosis and treatnt put both patients and their families at ease.

"Old Guy He and Doctor Xia have exquisite dical skills and are fully recognized in the dical world.

They have repeatedly received the highest honors and been hailed as Divine Doctors. Jiaojiao’s dical skills may be even greater than theirs, so it would be fine to call her Divine Doctor Jiao Jiao."

Cheng Tao, who had been silent until now, spoke with a broad smile, his gaze on Gu Jiaojiao particularly intense.

Gu Jiaojiao thought, ’This old gentleman must have a patient in his family, but I won’t be the one to ask.’

’The best way to protect yourself is to never overestimate your importance in other people’s hearts.’

’What hurts you is never the heartlessness of others, but your own persistence in holding onto illusions. Don’t hope, don’t expect, and you won’t be disappointed.’

"Please, have so tea, Grandpas. I’m going to the kitchen to help." Gu Jiaojiao finished with a smile and headed for the kitchen.

The crowd in the living room stood frozen, listening to her departing footsteps, their hearts churning with excitent.

Old Sir Gu was the first to break the silence. "Jiaojiao is still a child. Even though her dical skills are incredible, no one will believe in her for now. She has given herself a title: Su and Gu."

"Divine Doctor Su Gu. It has a nice ring to it," Xia Qiuming said.

The conversation in the living room once again buzzed with excitent over Gu Jiaojiao’s dical skills.

The Su family’s kitchen was also exceptionally busy. Su’s mother was stir-frying at the stove, Mrs. Gu was chopping vegetables, and Mr. Su was tending the fire.

"Jiaojiao, how about we use this old duck to make a soup with vermicelli?" Su’s mother asked happily when she saw her daughter-in-law arrive.

"Su Mama, you truly are a master chef. I love old duck and vermicelli soup," Gu Jiaojiao said, her eyes crinkling with a smile.
