Chapter 526: Chapter 526 Settling Accounts
Mrs. Gu had a sudden epiphany. She took the money from ng Chuyue and strode over to Gu Xiaoling, delivering a heavy slap across her face with a “smack”.
ng Chuyue was speechless.
How could Mrs. Gu, who seed so gentle and soft, be so violent?
Gu Xiaoling was also stunned.
However, she quickly found a reason for Mrs. Gu’s action: it wasn’t that Mrs. Gu believed what ng Chuyue said about her being cured, but rather that Mrs. Gu no longer wanted to deal with her.
In other words, she was disgusted by her.
What she didn’t know was Mrs. Gu truly did believe what ng Chuyue said.
Mrs. Gu was not like Gu Xiaoling.
She had a mysterious trust in doctors.
She believed that ng Chuyue was capable of determining that Gu Xiaoling had recovered.
Plus, ng Chuyue’s words that “if not cured” could also serve as a reason to drive them away made her really believe that ng Chuyue had no reason to lie.
After slapping Gu Xiaoling, the fleeting astonishnt and fury in Gu Xiaoling’s eyes further confird Mrs. Gu’s belief: Gu Xiaoling was feigning her illness.
To seek comfort, she actually pretended to be ill…
Completely disregarding other people’s feelings, Mrs. Gu was infuriated and decided to slap Gu Xiaoling until she admitted she was cured.
So, raising her hand again, she slapped Gu Xiaoling’s face and cursed, “I dare you to fake your illness, I dare you to fake your illness, are you crazy or what? Let knock so sense into you.”
One slap followed another, leaving Gu Xiaoling completely dazed.
However, she clung to one belief: she absolutely could not admit to being well at this mont, or she would lose face. If she had to get better, it would have to be later, not now.
Unwilling to admit to her recovery and not wanting to be hit, she turned her head, rolled her eyes, and “fainted” to the ground.
She thought feigning unconsciousness had saved her from further trouble, only to be awakened shortly after by ng Chuyue’s silver needles.
As Mrs. Gu was about to hit her again, ng Chuyue stopped her and said, “It’s painful to keep hitting her. I have itching powder here; it won’t kill a person, but it causes an unbearable itch all over the body. Shall we sprinkle so on her?”
Look, ng Chuyue and Mrs. Gu had beco allies.
Indeed, her hands aching, Mrs. Gu imdiately agreed to ng Chuyue’s suggestion.
As ng Chuyue took out the itching powder, she sneered at Gu Xiaoling, “Xiaoling, don’t bla your mother for being heartless. It’s just that you are too selfish. Do you know that because I had to accompany you for dical treatnt, your nephew had no one to look after him and nearly drowned in the river a few days ago?
We’ve gone through so much trouble for you, and yet, once you’re better, you selfishly pretend to be sick. Tell , shouldn’t I punish you?”
ng Chuyue was silent.
Indeed, that deserved a beating.
Gu Xiaoling was also petrified.
So much so that she forgot to avoid the itching powder.
Well, she actually scorned the itching powder.
Because she was one of the rare few who weren’t ticklish.
However, she didn’t realize that the itching powder was so potent that even those who weren’t ticklish would find it unbearable once affected.
Holding a bottle in her hand, ng Chuyue waited for Gu Xiaoling to itch unbearably before saying, “Gu Xiaoling, admit that you are well and I’ll give you the antidote. Otherwise, suffer for a full twelve hours.”
Gu Xiaoling was speechless.
Twelve hours?
How could you be so malicious, ng Chuyue?
In her heart, Gu Xiaoling cursed ng Chuyue with every insult she could think of.
But in the end, she could not bear the power of the itching powder and gave in.
With her face swollen like a pig’s head and a clear-eyed look, Gu Xiaoling admitted to ng Chuyue, “I confess that you are right, I am cured now. Give the antidote.”
This ti ng Chuyue didn’t give her a hard ti and handed over the antidote imdiately.
After taking the dicine, Gu Xiaoling’s itching stopped at once.
She glared hatefully at ng Chuyue, ready to leave, but ng Chuyue called out to her, “Wait, Gu Xiaoling, before you go, we need to settle an account.
To tell you the truth, you were only treated so well because I was not at ho, and my family thought you were really my friend. If I had been ho, you wouldn’t even think about stepping through my door. You’ve lived here for so long, not paying for dicines is one thing, but you’ve been living on my di for food and housing. Anyone would sincerely say thank you, but you? Not only do you hold a grudge against , but you also speak ill of at every turn. How can you be so shaless?”
