Chapter 280 Using the identity of a divine doctor to slap faces
After being led out of the lounge by Gu Chen, Xia Yue arrived at a more secluded small room.
Gu Chen's face darkened, and he said in a slightly warning tone, "From now on, you are not allowed to see Gu Mo again, nor are you allowed to treat his leg."
"Why?" Xia Yue frowned slightly, not understanding Gu Chen's intention. "Isn't that your older brother?"
"I am an illegitimate child. I have no relatives in the Gu family. They all wish I were dead and cannot bear to see me doing well. If you insist on getting involved with them, you will only be harming me!" Gu Chen tore off his mask.
In front of Xia Yue, he always behaved intelligently, appropriately, and with dignity and elegance.
In reality, he was just a pathetic wretch who had climbed to his current position through sheer hard work.
Xia Yue never expected Gu Chen to have such a past. She only wanted to treat patients and save lives, but she never expected to stand on the opposite side of Gu Chen.
"Junior sister, I know you study medicine to save people, but not everyone is worth saving."
Once Gu Mo's leg heals, the first person he'll target is me. He'll take all my power away instantly, including you..."
Gu Chen sounded very pitiful.
He even used a bit of hypnotic power to try and change Xia Yue's mind.
But when it comes to healing and saving lives, Xia Yue's principles are particularly firm.
“I will make a deal with him to make him not target you, and I will never be taken away by anyone. I am a person, not an object,” Xia Yue said loudly.
Upon hearing this, Gu Chen realized that Xia Yue wouldn't be easily persuaded by him.
Well, he had other ways to get Gu Mo completely away from Xia Yue anyway.
At that point, even if Xia Yue wanted to save her, there would be no way to do so.
"Alright, it's getting late, let's go back and continue with the banquet." Gu Chen put his arm around Xia Yue's waist and whispered his advice.
Xia Yue didn't want to continue this topic.
Let's talk about the future later; she wasn't 100% sure she could cure Gu Mo's leg.
Back to the lively birthday party.
In the center of the hall, a nine-tiered cake was displayed, and classic birthday songs were playing.
Everyone applauded enthusiastically, and then asked Gu Chen to cut the cake.
Gu Chen smiled and picked up a large knife to begin cutting it.
He handed the first piece to Xia Yue.
Xia Yue really liked cake, so she accepted it with a smile.
Just then, Gu Yusui deliberately spoke up, "Second Sister-in-law, today is Second Brother's birthday. We all gave him birthday gifts. I wonder what nice thing you gave him? Tell us all about it, okay?"
Gu Yusui had made a special inquiry and knew that Xia Yue hadn't said anything.
She said it on purpose to embarrass Gu Chen.
It's his birthday, after all, and his girlfriend didn't give him anything. It's embarrassing if word gets out.
Xia Yue was hypnotized by Gu Chen, but she didn't become stupid.
She sensed Gu Yusui's ill intentions, frowned slightly, and calmly asked, "Then what did you give me? Tell me first."
Gu Yusui smiled slightly and said calmly, "Our Gu family is a family of doctors. My second brother doesn't have a good appetite, so I gave him a piece of century-old tangerine peel that can help improve his spleen and appetite."
When everyone heard about Gu Yusui's gift, they felt that this Miss Gu was very well-mannered.
Although century-old tangerine peel is not very expensive, costing only 500,000, it is extremely rare and is the kind that is priced but not available.
Upon hearing this, Xia Yue said calmly, "I gave him a Thousand Spirit Pill."
"What is that?" Gu Yusui frowned slightly. She had never heard of such a pill on the market.
Xia Yue replied, "This is something I researched myself."
As soon as he said this, a hint of mockery could be heard from those around him.
The people were unaware of the effects of the Thousand Spirit Pill and thought it was just an ordinary pill.
I felt that Xia Yue didn't have much money, so she couldn't give her an expensive gift. She could only make something by hand to express her feelings.
For the dignified second young master of the Gu family to only receive this for his birthday is truly stingy.
Only Gu Chen knew that this Thousand Spirit Pill was a special medicine passed down by his master. It was extremely precious and could detoxify, strengthen the body, and prolong life.
Xia Yue carried the Thousand Spirit Pill with her.
Since the words have already been spoken, they should be given away on the spot.
She took out a Thousand Spirit Pill and gave it to Gu Chen, explaining, "I added a little bit of thousand-year-old Gastrodia elata to this Thousand Spirit Pill, making it even more effective."
The people didn't know about Qianling Pill, but they had heard of Qiannian Tianma.
That's the finest of medicinal herbs!
The last time a thousand-year-old Gastrodia elata appeared on the market was at an auction held in Yancheng last year, where a kilogram of thousand-year-old Gastrodia elata was auctioned for a sky-high price of 100 million yuan!
In the world of fame and fortune, those who are richer, more powerful, and more capable are more respected.
Everyone's understanding was refreshed, and they realized that Xia Yue was not just a pretty face.
At this moment, someone who had heard of Qianling Pills suddenly said, "I remember, Qianling Pills are the secret medicine of the legendary Doctor X. Miss, you wouldn't happen to be the legendary Doctor X, would you?"
Few people know the name Xia Yue.
But the name of Doctor X is renowned throughout Yancheng and even the world.
Many people want to ask Dr. X to treat them, but he won't help with anything that isn't a complicated illness.
Moreover, a casual house call can earn at least five million!
When Xia Yue realized that someone had recognized her, she didn't bother to pretend anymore and simply nodded.
Now, everyone's gaze changed again, and they all looked at Xia Yue with excitement.
"Dr. X, it really is you! You haven't been out of town lately, and I've seen so many doctors but none of them could cure my illness. I've been wanting to find you!"
"So it turns out that Young Master Gu's girlfriend is the legendary doctor X. It's truly a blessing that he was able to find you!"
