Back to the 1980s: Transmigrated as the Bigshot's Pampered Wife Chapter 484: The Arrogant Si Yan
While checking his pulse, Gu Jiaojiao continued with a beaming smile, "Old Sir Si’s body is showing obvious improvent. It gives a great sense of accomplishnt."
When she smiled, two faint dimples appeared, as beautiful as blooming peach blossoms.
The morning sun streaming through the window illuminated her joyful face, making it as vibrant as a rose. The slight curve of her lips showed her imnse delight.
She was so full of life, so captivating.
Everyone in the Si Family’s living room stared, dumbfounded. Several of the young n even had a bit of drool at the corners of their mouths.
Su Shuochi’s gaze had been fixed on her ever since he walked in. He wished he could stand up and block her from all those infatuated stares.
But in front of Elder Si and the Si Family Master, he had to maintain his composure. So, Su Shuochi took an exquisite handkerchief from his coat pocket.
He turned to the side and dabbed at the nonexistent sweat on Gu Jiaojiao’s forehead, then tucked a wisp of hair—so fine that most people wouldn’t even notice it—behind her ear.
Grandma Si was sitting very close to Gu Jiaojiao. She hadn’t seen any sweat on her forehead, nor had she noticed any stray hair by her ear.
But she was a woman of experience and knew this young man was staking his claim. She had also seen several of her own grandsons drooling.
She had never doubted Gu Jiaojiao’s dical skills just because of her youth; after all, her husband’s health was improving day by day.
Grandma Si didn’t scold her grandsons, either. Who could possibly resist such a remarkable woman?
The Divine Doctor wasn’t just admired for her beautiful appearance; she also possessed a refined and elegant temperant.
Especially with her dical skills and talent, it wasn’t just the coddled young n who would go wild for her—even she herself was extrely fond of Gu Jiaojiao.
A beautiful woman is one in a hundred. A wise woman is one in a thousand. But a woman who is both beautiful and wise is one in ten thousand.
And a woman who embodies beauty, elegance, wisdom, and talent all at once is a once-in-a-century find.
She felt fortunate to have t Gu Jiaojiao in her lifeti.
"Jiaojiao, may I call you that?" Grandma Si asked, her face wreathed in smiles.
"Grandma Si, you’re too kind. A na is ant to be used, after all! Please, just call Jiaojiao."
As she spoke, Gu Jiaojiao spared a mont to glance up at Grandma Si. She had taken off her mink coat after coming inside.
Now, she was wearing only an elegant and dignified qipao. Her silver hair was styled into a beautiful bun, held in place by a single jade hairpin.
Although ti had etched wrinkles on her face, one could still faintly tell that Grandma Si had been a great beauty in her youth.
"Jiaojiao, my old man’s health is getting better by the day. You ntioned giving him acupuncture—do you have ti today?" Grandma Si asked with a smile.
Grandma Si rembered that Gu Jiaojiao’s second brother’s restaurant was opening today, and the Si Family had also booked a private room.
"I ca here specifically to give Elder Si acupuncture. We can go to a room and do it now. Have you prepared one?"
As Gu Jiaojiao spoke, she withdrew her hand. She had already finished taking Elder Si’s pulse.
"Ah, well, we actually haven’t prepared one. But we have a guest room on the first floor. Would that work?" the Si Family Master asked sheepishly.
Gu Jiaojiao didn’t mind if it was a guest room. As long as there was a bed for Elder Si to lie on, it would be convenient for the acupuncture.
Just as she was about to reply, she heard a sound—SWISH! Soone shot to their feet, and a sharp accusation echoed through the Si Family’s living room.
"Why do you have to go to a room for acupuncture? Can’t you do it here in the living room? Are you planning to do sothing shady?"
Every mber of the Si Family in the living room was stunned by her words.
Even Elder Si and Grandma Si were montarily frozen. They could tell this was a burst of dissatisfaction their granddaughter had been holding back for a long ti.
The girl’s words were like a leaf drifting onto a calm lake; they failed to create even the slightest ripple in Gu Jiaojiao’s heart.
She was even in the mood to follow the voice with her eyes. In a corner of the crowd stood a girl in an egg-yolk yellow wool coat.
This girl was Si Yan, the daughter of Third Uncle Si. She had the sa personality as her mother, Third Aunt Si: her reach exceeded her grasp, and she was full of impractical ambitions.
Si Yan had disliked Gu Jiaojiao from the mont she first saw her. She didn’t like that Gu Jiaojiao was prettier than her.
It was one thing to be prettier than her, but she was also more capable and had a better figure. And worst of all, that handso man beside her had his eyes glued to her.
’Why can’t I have a man like that?’ A thick wave of jealousy surged through Si Yan’s heart.
At first, she had maintained a gentle smile on the surface and tried batting her eyelashes at Su Shuochi.
Unfortunately, her flirting was t with nothing but air. That’s why she had recklessly stood up to question Gu Jiaojiao—she just wanted to slander her.
Her maternal grandfather was a renowned national physician who had long served as her own grandfather’s primary doctor. She had been helping him since she was a child, learning dicine through constant exposure.
She had inherited her mother’s talent for putting on an act. She was incredibly well-behaved in front of the elders, so all the Si Family elders were very fond of her.
Among her own generation in the Si Family, everyone—whether older or younger, boy or girl—always gave in to her.
This was because whenever a conflict arose between them, soone else would always suffer the consequences. Si Yan was never the one at fault.
As a result, everyone yielded to her, which only made Si Yan think more highly of herself and beco even more arrogant and domineering.
She often passed herself off as a famous doctor to outsiders. In any case, if there was a patient she couldn’t cure, her grandfather was always there to clean up her ss.
This had cultivated her fearless, daredevil personality.
"Who the hell do you think you are? Is it your place to question what I do? I don’t need to explain anything to you. Get lost."
Gu Jiaojiao said faintly, her voice calm and composed, like the song of a lark.
It involuntarily brought to mind the image of a lone orchid appearing silently in a secluded valley.
As she spoke, she also shot to her feet with a WHOOSH. Her gaze toward Si Yan was ice-cold, and layers of gloom seeped into her eyes.
The old and young of the Si Family snapped out of their stupor and all glared at Si Yan with extre anger.
They watched the intimidating Gu Jiaojiao stride toward Si Yan, one step at a ti, with a gait that recognized no kin.
Each footstep seed to land directly on Si Yan’s heart, making her feel a sense of regret for the very first ti.
The Si Family mbers held their breath, waiting for Gu Jiaojiao to go over and deal with the arrogant and clueless Si Yan.
They were terrified that the Divine Doctor would get angry and refuse to treat their father (or grandfather). That was their biggest worry.
"Si Family Master, please help Elder Si into the room for his acupuncture. My ti is limited."
Saying this, Gu Jiaojiao went straight to the guest room door on the first floor, pushed it open, and walked inside.
Su Shuochi followed closely at Gu Jiaojiao’s side. He turned his head to glance at Si Yan, his eyes deep and terrifying, for she had touched his reverse scale.
Si Yan had been desperately hoping the man would look at her just once, but this one glance scared her so badly she wet herself.
Third Aunt Si already despised that so-called Divine Doctor. When she saw Gu Jiaojiao today...
...she had actually breathed a sigh of relief. ’How capable could this slip of a girl, who’s barely even grown, possibly be?!’
She hadn’t taken Gu Jiaojiao seriously at all. But now she had scared her precious daughter into wetting herself? This was outrageous!
