249: Chapter 249: Harvesting the Autumn Wind 249: Chapter 249: Harvesting the Autumn Wind “Youyou…” Yue Rujing believed no woman could resist his tender, water-like gaze; he slowly leaned toward her from his superior position, his heart racing with joy.
But Gu Youyou had already been thoroughly infuriated by his perverse behavior.
“Yue Rujing, you’re courting death!” Gu Youyou shouted, lifting her foot and stomping on Yue Rujing’s instep, then angrily exclaid, “Don’t you ever call Youyou again!”
Disgusting, she felt her skin crawl all over.
Caught off guard, Yue Rujing was stomped squarely by her, crying out in pain with an ‘ow’.
That’s not right, why the sudden change of face?
It was far from the reaction he had anticipated.
Could it be because he was wearing the clothes of an assistant, which diminished his charm?
Hopping on one foot while holding the other, he said, “If I can’t call you Youyou, what should I call you?
You don’t like it when I call you Cousin-in-law, do you?”
Grinding her teeth, Gu Youyou said, “Call Director Gu!”
Director Gu?
Certainly not Miss Gu, or Lady Gu?
What did this “Director” title an?
Hearing the screams, Qin Changlin hurried in and, seeing this scene, could only offer Yue Rujing a face full of sympathy.
He didn’t know what the man had done to offend Sister Youyou again.
Gu Youyou smiled and added, “That gentleman is Director Qin; as a re assistant, you’d better understand your place.”
Alright then, I’m just an assistant.
…
Madam Huang had been wanting to co to Gu Youyou’s place for a while to take advantage of the autumn winds, but being the busy harvest season, her own family matters had kept her from doing so.
Today, she ca with an important mission, having a legitimate reason!
In Jisheng Hall, it was always Qin Changlin who received patients while Gu Youyou took care of indoor affairs.
Qin Changlin had beco quite adept at treating common colds and flus, leaving no need for Gu Youyou to step in; she only handled the difficult, baffling cases that Qin Changlin couldn’t manage.
After Gu Youyou successfully treated a myriad of complicated cases, Qin Changlin’s admiration for her grew stronger with each passing instance.
They had found a treasure!
Gu Youyou’s dical skills were, in so areas, definitely no less than that of their teacher, Doctor Zhou.
But could such a woman really be a village girl?
He couldn’t comprehend it, it was just too baffling.
Of course, there were many strange things about Gu Youyou, things he couldn’t figure out no matter how hard he thought, especially concerning her husband, who seed to have beco a different person after returning ho.
If not for Yue Rujing assuring him that was indeed his cousin Jin Zijin, he would never believe they were the sa person.
He feared Gu Youyou might one day transform into the daughter of a wealthy family, and without her at Jisheng Hall, the place would almost certainly fall into decline.
It was a slow day today; early in the morning, only two patients had co in.
After seeing them, Qin Changlin had been sitting idly for quite so ti.
Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a familiar old lady swiftly heading toward Jisheng Hall.
Although they had only t once, Qin Changlin rembered her clearly.
Wasn’t she the Gu Family’s old madam who hadn’t paid for her consultation and had nearly asked him for money for tea, Gu Youyou’s grandmother?
Gu Youyou’s grandmother?
Qin Changlin was startled and beca fully alert.
Madam Huang, focused on hurrying here despite her nurous chores at ho, was already sweating profusely.
Finally arriving at Jisheng Hall, she stood in the shade and took out a kerchief to wipe off her sweat.
Qin Changlin signaled one of the assistants with his eyes, and the assistant stepped forward to inquire, “Old madam, are you feeling unwell?
Please co inside with ; our doctor is inside.”
Hearing this, Madam Huang’s face fell, and she replied sharply, “How can you speak like that to soone so young?
Where am I unwell?
I’m in excellent health.”
