Gift?

That stingy, narrow-minded, and ungrateful eldest daughter of the Nan family, actually gave Dr. Chu a gift out of gratitude for his care!

It's fake, right?

The three words were blatantly obvious to everyone, and someone immediately exclaimed, "This gift is definitely suspicious! It might be some kind of prank, Dr. Chu, you absolutely mustn't open it!"

But she spoke too late; Dr. Chu had already opened the box.

It was a delicate brownie cake.

The luxurious coffee-colored cake, topped with plenty of almonds, and the rich aroma of chocolate and rum tempts those who are slightly tired after a busy morning.

The cake had already been cut into more than twenty small pieces, with forks placed next to it for easy eating. In the lounge, there was a faint sound of people swallowing their saliva and smelling the aroma.

The doctor who had just said "what kind of prank thing is this?" was a little embarrassed. This was clearly a fragrant cake, how could it be a prank prop?

Undeterred, he said, "Perhaps there was something bad in the cake! Dr. Chu, you'd better not eat it. Let your colleagues in the laboratory check it up!"

The maid who delivered the items was still standing nearby when she heard his words, and her face immediately fell.

The other doctors in the break room were also embarrassed and didn't want to speak up, but their expressions clearly showed that they agreed with that doctor.

Dr. Chu suddenly smiled.

"This is a gift from Miss Nan. Not only did I refuse to eat it, but I also had it checked, suspecting that something bad was put in it. What kind of person would I be? I trust her. She's a very well-behaved girl and wouldn't do such a thing!"

After saying that, she picked up her fork, carefully took a piece, put it in her mouth, and exclaimed with delight, "Delicious!"

Seeing that Dr. Chu could eat several pieces without any problems, many people's mouths watered even more. Dr. Chu smiled and looked at the maid: "May I share with everyone?"

The maid's initially unpleasant expression gradually warmed up when she saw Dr. Chu eat the cake without hesitation and sincerely praise it. She smiled and said, "This is already yours. If you want to share, of course you can."

The doctors, having been given permission, cheered and took a small piece to taste. The cake's soft, sweet texture melted in their mouths, making their mouths water: "It's so delicious!"

"That's right, that's right! I misunderstood Miss Nan before. She really is a good person!"

"Dr. Chu is right. All the slander against her before was just hearsay. From now on, we should stop talking badly about people. We might end up wronging an innocent person."

The maid couldn't help but puff out her chest and laugh proudly.

She returned to the Nan family and told Tongsu the story with exaggerated details. After hearing about the initial slander from those people, Tongsu smiled and shook her head, not getting angry as the servant had worried.

She said, "Did I do something wrong in the past? It's a pity I don't remember it, but in any case, I'm lucky to still have the chance to correct it now."

The maid quickly said, "Miss, you're doing really well now! We all love you so much!"

She spoke with utmost sincerity. Before leaving Tongsu's room, she said, "Those people who slandered you are talking nonsense. Please remember it and don't let it make you feel bad..."

Seeing Tong Su nod and smile in agreement, the maid felt relieved and turned to leave. However, she was startled as soon as she reached the top of the stairs, gasped, and backed away!

"Young...Young Master!"

On the stairs stood a tall, slender young man, his indifferent eyes and brows colder than the snow.

“You just said,” he began, his powerful aura pressing down on everything around him, as if the temperature had dropped several degrees, “who is slandering her?”
