She secretly added the ginseng rootlets of a thousand-year-old ginseng that had been ripened with spiritual spring water to the pills.

That's a treasure that can bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded.

If it weren't for the space, Ye Nian'an wouldn't have been confident at all that she could save someone as terminally ill as Liu Tingting.

"I see."

Liu Tingting clutched the packet of medicine tightly, as if it were her own life.

"Nian'an, I can never repay this kindness in my lifetime."

"We are just doing a transaction, each of us getting what we need."

Ye Nian'an picked up her teacup, blew on it to cool it down, and then changed the subject: "What's been happening with the Gu family lately? Gu Tao's case is about to be decided, and they haven't contacted me at all. Have they given up?"

The moment the Gu family was mentioned, Liu Tingting's eyes turned cold.

“After Gu Tao was arrested, the Gu family did become much more obedient. I haven’t been visiting them much lately because of some bone problems, and they’ve lowered their guard against me because of this, only asking me to take good care of the children.”

She paused, then lowered her voice even further: "However, Nian'an, you must be careful of the second son of the Gu family, Gu Chen."

"oh?"

Ye Nian'an became interested.

"Gu Chen is completely different from that good-for-nothing Gu Tao."

A hint of apprehension flashed in Liu Tingting's eyes: "He looks gentle and refined, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. But I know that he is a venomous snake at heart, ruthless and vicious, and his mind is terrifyingly meticulous."

"I secretly provided Gu Tao with clues about his involvement in feudal superstition because I was afraid he would find out."

“I even suspect that if it weren’t for Old Li’s matter involving Gu Tao, he would have wanted to get rid of this troublesome brother long ago so that he could take control of the government.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Nian'an tapped her fingertips lightly on the table, lost in thought.

A ruthless character who would turn on his own brother is certainly not to be underestimated.

"Don't worry."

Ye Nian'an reassured him, "I had a trustworthy person go through several unrelated people to get the clues to the police station. Even if Gu Chen has connections everywhere, he will never be able to trace it back to you."

Her confident tone reassured Liu Tingting somewhat.

The two chatted for a few more minutes and both agreed that the Gu family was now like a frightened bird, busy protecting itself and would never dare to provoke the Chu family again in the short term, wishing they could stay as far away as possible.

After saying goodbye to Liu Tingting, Ye Nian'an felt increasingly relieved.

Today, when I went to the hospital, I saw that the Zhang family members who had wronged her in her past life were now reaping the consequences of their actions and were completely defeated.

The exhilarating feeling of watching her enemies suffer madly and fall into hell never to rise again made her feel completely relaxed.

Humming a little tune, she returned to the Chu family compound. Just as she was about to push open the door, she found a brand-new Volga sedan parked at the entrance.

At the entrance of the courtyard stood two well-dressed women, pacing back and forth anxiously.

Ye Nian'an's gaze sharpened.

It is Gu's mother, He Yue'er, and Gu Wanwan.

They finally couldn't sit still any longer and came to us in person.

It's true what they say, speak of the devil and he appears.

Upon seeing Ye Nian'an return, Gu Wanwan's eyes lit up instantly. She quickly pulled He Yue'er to greet him, her face plastered with a forced and stiff smile.

"Sister Nian'an, you're finally back! My mom and I have been waiting for you for so long."

Gu Wanwan's voice was sickeningly sweet, as if they were best friends who had known each other for many years.

He Yue'er forced a smile, but the smile didn't reach her eyes; instead, it revealed a hint of embarrassment and humiliation.

How could she, a dignified lady of the Gu family, have ever stood so humbly at someone else's door waiting?

If it weren't for Xu Yao and Song Yan's good relationship with the Chu family, and the fear that they might have unnecessary misunderstandings about the Gu family, she wouldn't have come here to suffer.

Ye Nian'an didn't stop walking, as if she hadn't seen them, and went straight to the gate, taking out her key to open it.

Her attitude was as cold as the winter wind, leaving Gu Wanwan's outstretched hand, which was trying to grab her arm, hanging in mid-air.

Gu Wanwan almost lost her smile.

What's with this random passerby in the book pretending to be?

Do you really think you can rest easy just because you've gotten close to the Chu family? You look down on everyone.

But who is Gu Wanwan? She's a transmigrated woman who has the script in her hands!

What are these NPCs anyway!

Even the Gu family was completely fooled by her, they just wouldn't believe it! They couldn't win over Ye Nian'an!

She took a deep breath, suppressing her displeasure, and spoke softly again: "Sister Nian'an, please don't misunderstand. We're not here today to plead for my brother. He broke the law and should be punished. Our Gu family will never tolerate such behavior."

He Yue'er quickly chimed in, "Yes, Comrade Nian'an. We've come specifically to apologize to you and the Chu family. That scoundrel Gu Tao has caused you so much trouble, and we feel truly sorry for him."

As she spoke, she waved to the Volga car behind her.

The driver immediately opened the trunk and took out bags and packages.

"These are Swiss chocolates, English black tea, and a few bolts of fashionable Dacron fabric..."

He Yue'er introduced them as if they were her own treasures, with a hint of barely perceptible boast in her tone.

"These are just some small, unrespectful gifts, but please accept them as a token of our appreciation."

Ye Nian'an then lazily turned her head, her cool gaze sweeping lightly over the gifts before settling on Gu Wanwan's meticulously made-up face.

"Apologize?"

She chuckled softly, but the smile didn't reach her eyes: "Miss Gu's words make it sound like my Chu family is narrow-minded and petty."

Gu Wanwan's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly waved her hands, "No, no, no, Sister Nian'an, you've misunderstood, that's not what I meant..."

"So what do you mean?"

Ye Nian'an interrupted her calmly, her eyes sharp as knives: "Do you think that sending some sweet words can erase the crimes Gu Tao committed? Or do you think that our Chu family is the kind of family that forgets its principles when it sees benefits?"

Her voice wasn't loud, but every word was clear.

Like a small hammer, it struck the hearts of the Gu family mother and daughter with just the right amount of force.

He Yue'er's face instantly turned ugly.

Gu Wanwan forced herself to calm down. She knew that Ye Nian'an was unyielding and she had to use her trump card.

She sighed pitifully, her eyes slightly red: "Sister Nian'an, I know you have a prejudice against our Gu family. My older brother was indeed wrong in this matter, but I sincerely want to be your friend."

“I’ve been really upset these days. The thought of my older brother doing such stupid things to your Chu family, trying to steal the luck of such a cute little baby, makes me restless.”

“We’ve wanted to come and pay you a visit to offer compensation for a while now, so we could at least feel better, but we were afraid you’d be upset…”

Ye Nian'an found it all laughable.

Too lazy to play along, she simply opened the courtyard gate with a "click," stood to the side blocking the entrance, and spoke in an icy tone.

"Please take these things back to where they came from. Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can enter the gates of the Chu family, and we certainly don't accept dirty things of unknown origin."

"you!"
