Chapter 164 My arch-nemesis became my blind date?

Gu Beihan looked at Su Yue and said something that stunned everyone present.

"Old Zhang from Peking Union Medical College Hospital specifically asked me to pass on a message to you."

Old Zhang?

Su Yue's mind raced.

She didn't know this person.

Old Huo and Chief Engineer He exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

"Is it that Zhang the 'Master Physician' in the medical field?" Chief Engineer He's voice even changed slightly.

Gu Beihan nodded, a gentle smile on his face.

"It was that old man Zhang. He held a highly respected position in the medical field, rarely getting involved in worldly affairs; he was a true pillar of the medical community."

“How could he…” Su Yue was genuinely surprised.

Her foot bath pack was just a little concoction she made on the spot using the limited medicinal herbs she had on hand, to help the soldiers regulate their bodies.

How could this have alarmed such important figures in the capital?

"Sister-in-law, you are too modest."

Gu Beihan carefully took out a letter sealed with sealing wax from his briefcase.

"Old Zhang happened to see the formula for that foot bath pack and commented on it in eight words."

He looked at Su Yue and repeated the words slowly and deliberately.

"His unique thinking and unconventional approach are the work of a master."

Upon hearing this, both Mr. Huo and Chief Engineer He gasped in shock.

To receive such high praise from Elder Zhang is truly a significant honor.

Gu Beihan handed the letter to Su Yue.

"Old Zhang said he has a few questions about pharmacology that he would like to discuss with you personally. This is his handwritten letter."

Su Yue took the letter and felt the high-quality Xuan paper.

She removed the sealing wax and unfolded the letter.

Above is a powerful and vigorous calligraphy, with sharp strokes that penetrate the paper.

The letter contained no unnecessary pleasantries and went straight to the point, posing several extremely ingenious and tricky questions regarding the roles of the medicinal herbs in the foot bath pack.

Every question was to the point.

Su Yue looked at the letter, a hint of appreciation appearing in her eyes.

In an era of poor medical conditions, a doctor with such insight truly deserves the title of "leading figure".

Being able to communicate with such a person is also a pleasure for her.

She carefully folded the letter and solemnly put it away.

"Please give my regards to Mr. Zhang and tell him that I received his letter and that I will reply to him personally once I have settled in."

"Okay," Gu Beihan replied with a smile.

The jeep drove smoothly on the road.

Su Yue was a little tired and leaned on Gu Beichen's broad shoulders.

The man remained motionless, letting her lean against him, but his arm quietly wrapped around her waist, protecting her completely in his embrace.

Gu Beihan, who was driving, saw this scene in the rearview mirror, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

He slowed down and began telling Su Yue some interesting stories about Beijing.

From which state-run restaurant serves the most authentic roast duck to which alleyway hides the best candied hawthorn.

His voice is warm and pleasant to listen to, unhurried and gentle.

Su Yue responded half-heartedly, experiencing the warmth from her husband's older brother for the first time.

This Gu family seemed quite different from the stereotypical military family she had imagined.

The car finally stopped in front of an impressive compound.

The guards at the gate saw the license plate and immediately saluted to let the car pass.

As soon as the car came to a stop, two people quickly walked out of the yard.

The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a military uniform with a general's star on his shoulder and a dignified face.

He was accompanied by a gentle-looking woman dressed in a blue dress.

It was the backbone of the Gu family, Deputy Commander Gu Zhengfeng, and his wife Zhang Huilan.

They were already waiting at the door.

As soon as Gu Beichen helped Su Yue out of the car, Zhang Huilan, with red eyes, quickly came to greet them.

She grabbed Su Yue's hand, looked her up and down, and her voice was full of heartache.

"My good child, I'm so sorry you had to suffer."

One sentence warmed Su Yue's heart.

She could sense that this heartache was genuine and without any pretense.

"mom."

She called out softly.

"Yes!" Zhang Huilan responded forcefully, tears welling up in her eyes. "Quick, come inside, it's windy outside."

Although Gu Zhengfeng, who was standing to the side, had a stern face and no expression, his eyes were full of approval and concern when he looked at Su Yue.

"It's good that you're back."

He spoke in a deep, loud voice.

Back at the Gu family compound, Su Yue truly experienced what it meant to be treated like a queen.

Zhang Huilan personally cooked a large table of dishes.

Steamed fish, winter melon and pork rib soup, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, and a few refreshing side dishes.

These were all foods she had casually mentioned liking to eat on the phone before.

"Yueyue, try what Mom made and see if it suits your taste."

Zhang Huilan enthusiastically served her food.

“You must not have been eating or sleeping well these days. Look how thin your face is. You need to eat and sleep properly.”

Gu Zhengfeng then took out a tin can from his study.

"This is a Da Hong Pao tea that I've treasured for many years. I'll brew you a cup to calm your nerves."

Su Yue was flattered.

This is a legendary special-supply tea, a rare find that money can't buy.

While we were eating, a young man wearing a pilot jacket and sporting a buzz cut rushed in from outside like a gust of wind.

He looks somewhat like the Gu brothers, but his eyes and brows have a more lively and spirited air about him.

"I'm back! I heard my fairy sister-in-law has arrived?"

The person arrived before the voice.

The newcomer was none other than Gu Beifeng, the youngest brother of the Gu family and a genius pilot.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Su Yue surrounded by her whole family, and his eyes lit up instantly.

"Wow! Is this my legendary fairy sister-in-law? She truly lives up to her reputation!"

He took a few steps closer to Su Yue and spoke with a grin.

"Hello, sister-in-law! I'm Gu Beifeng! You can just call me Xiaofeng!"

He was like a clown, making Su Yue laugh out loud with just a few words, making the house lively and bustling.

Su Yue felt as if she had truly become part of this big family.

After dinner, the family sat in the living room chatting.

Zhang Huilan peeled an apple and handed it to Su Yue, mentioning it seemingly casually.

"Speaking of which, a new female officer was recently transferred to the military compound, and her reputation doesn't seem to be very good."

She frowned, as if trying hard to recall.

"I heard he was transferred from the Beijing Municipal Cultural Troupe."

Before he could finish speaking...

The living room door was pushed open from the outside.

Gu Beixiao walked in from outside with a dark expression.

Behind him was Chu Jingya, who looked extremely unwilling.

The laughter and conversation in the living room came to an abrupt halt.

All eyes were focused on the man and woman with different expressions at the door.

Zhang Huilan was the first to react, and stood up in surprise.

"Jingya? How come you... how come you came back with Beixiao?"

Chu Jingya's face flushed red and then turned pale when she saw the room full of people.

She gritted her teeth, as if using all her strength, to squeeze out a few words from between her teeth.

"Auntie, my mom asked me to come..."

She paused, took a deep breath, and then continued.

"Blind date."
