Chapter 183 What a disgrace
Jiang Luli saw Gu Jiayue being held in Zheng Qinghe's arms from afar, and his face darkened instantly. A gloomy look flashed across his eyes, and he quickened his pace, reaching the two of them in just a few steps.
He reached out and pulled Gu Jiayue out of Zheng Qinghe's arms, his movements clearly filled with jealousy and displeasure. "It's broad daylight, so you should be careful about the impact."
His eyes shot towards Zheng Qinghe like cold arrows, and his eyes were dark and unclear, as if hiding endless anger.
Zheng Qinghe was a little annoyed by this sudden action. He looked up at Jiang Luli. For some reason, a strong feeling of disgust surged in his heart. He felt that Jiang Luli was even more annoying than the young doctor just now.
"Greetings, Lord." Humph, Lord Lord, so what? In his heart, Yue'er could only be his, and no one else could take her away.
When Jiang Luli heard this, a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.
He wasn't intentionally hiding his identity; he just felt that who he was wasn't important.
But he didn't want Gu Jiayue to misunderstand him because of this.
He cautiously turned his head to look at Gu Jiayue, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that her face was calm and there was no unusual change.
On second thought, this woman is so smart, she must have guessed his identity long ago.
Zheng Qinghe was also stunned. He originally thought that Gu Jiayue would be angry because Jiang Luli concealed his identity, but she had no reaction at all. Could it be that she had known Jiang Luli's identity for a long time?
Looking at Jiang Luli's smug look, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Let's wait and see. He wanted to see what tricks this guy could come up with.
At this moment, Gu Jiayue felt that she was just like that heartless and disloyal scumbag.
Everything happened so unexpectedly that even someone as smart as her was a little confused and completely unable to comprehend the chaotic situation.
Helplessly, she could only sigh to herself.
Things have to be solved one by one.
She turned her head first and looked at Jiang Luli, "What do you want from me, Mr. Jiang?"
Jiang Luli was slightly startled when he heard this, and his heart was in turmoil. Could he say that he was just impulsive and wanted to come and ask her if she liked him?
He looked around and saw Zheng Qinghe staring at him intently, as if ready to pounce at any moment. He coughed lightly and said calmly, "Nothing, I just wanted to take a walk after dinner and happened to run into you guys."
He thought he had concealed it well, with no flaws in his expression. However, he didn't notice Zheng Qinghe's mocking look.
In Zheng Qinghe's opinion, this guy is a hypocritical hypocrite.
Gu Jiayue nodded gently, "Then please do as you please, Mr. Jiangshan. I will take Master Zheng and Master Lin to the academy for a look."
Jiang Luli heard this and quickly said, "Then let's go together. I'm tired too."
Gu Jiayue glanced at him and said, "Alright, you can do as you please."
Afterwards, Gu Jiayue turned to look at Lin Yi with a hint of inquiry in her eyes: "Mr. Lin, what is the purpose of your coming here this time? Did Matchmaker Chen ask you to come?"
As early as when Grandma Chen mentioned it, Gu Jiayue had a vague premonition that the person she was talking about was most likely Lin Yi in front of her.
After all, it is not easy to find such a weird person. How could there be two of them in a row in such a small state like Juzhou?
Sure enough, Lin Yi showed up today.
When Lin Yi heard this, he was confused and scratched his head: "Matchmaker Chen? Who?"
Gu Jiayue frowned slightly and asked doubtfully, "Didn't Matchmaker Chen ask you to go on a blind date with me?"
As soon as these words came out, Zheng Qinghe and Jiang Luli on the side were like a ignited powder keg, staring at Lin Yi in unison, as if they wanted to eat him alive.
Seeing this, Lin Yi swallowed his saliva in fear.
He instantly understood why the county magistrate had looked at him strangely before. It was a complete misunderstanding.
He quickly waved his hands to explain, his voice filled with anxiety: "Of course not, I'm here because of your second brother's illness."
As he spoke, he carefully observed the expressions of Zheng Qinghe and Jiang Luli, fearing that if he explained too slowly, he would be "killed" by the eyes of these two men.
When Zheng Qinghe and Jiang Luli heard this, they were stunned at first, then they quickly retracted their gazes that seemed to be able to torture people to pieces, and instantly became very kind and easygoing, and even forced a smile on their faces.
Gu Jiayue was embarrassed, realizing she had misunderstood. She said a little sheepishly, "Oh, thank you for your concern, Mr. Lao Lin."
Lin Yi hurriedly explained again seriously: "I'm not worried about you, I'm worried about your brother. The poison in his body can't be delayed any longer. Although you can't see anything now, the poison in his body is constantly consuming the nutrients in his body. If it takes too long, he may die early."
He knew very well that as a doctor, medical disputes sometimes arose because words were not explained clearly.
He didn't want to lose his life because of such a small matter. He had to dedicate his entire life to the medical profession, but he absolutely couldn't die because of Gu Jiayue.
Before Gu Jiayue could say anything, Jiang Luli and Zheng Qinghe beside her were even more anxious than her.
Jiang Luli frowned and asked with concern: "Yuchuan was poisoned? When did it happen?" During the time he came to Taohua Village, the secret guards around him would patrol the village carefully every day, but they had never found any bad guys.
Zheng Qinghe also hurriedly spoke: "Yue'er, what kind of poison did your brother get? Is it serious? I know Dr. Mu from the Divine Doctor Valley and I can introduce him to you."
Jiang Luli was immediately displeased when he heard Zheng Qinghe call Gu Jiayue "Yue'er". He looked at Zheng Qinghe with cold eyes.
Can he also call Yue'er?
Then he said, "Why bother with so much trouble? Xiao Fuzi beside me is a disciple of the Divine Doctor Gu. I will ask him to help Yuchuan."
Zheng Qinghe was disdainful when he heard this: "Xiao Fuzi is just a eunuch without any roots, what can he understand? Let me go find Doctor Mu."
Jiang Luli's face darkened and he retorted, "Mr. Zheng, you are wrong. Xiao Fuzi's medical skills were personally taught by the Divine Doctor Mu. There is no doubt about them."
Zheng Qinghe was relentless: "But I've never heard that Xiao Fuzi is good at detoxification."
Jiang Luli sneered, "There are many things that Master Zheng doesn't know. Do I have to report everything in the world to you?"
Lin Yi watched the two quarreling and felt his head numb.
These two men are too much. Not only do they want to snatch the woman from him, but now they want to snatch the patient from him.
No, there seems to be no women.
But because of a woman, he wanted to steal his patient.
It’s okay to rob women, but it’s absolutely not okay to rob patients.
In order to defend his rights, Lin Yi also hurried to join the debate.
He looked at Gu Jiayue and said seriously, "Miss Gu, I have studied the poison your brother was poisoned with, and I am 60% sure that I can cure him."
Jiang Luli raised his eyes to glance at Lin Yi. Seeing him staring at Gu Jiayue with sharp eyes, he suddenly felt even more unhappy. His tone was a bit sarcastic: "This young man, you dare to take action when you are 60% sure? You really don't take human life seriously."
Zheng Qinghe also echoed: "Exactly, it's not like the prince who shot and killed five people without blinking an eye."
Jiang Luli looked at Zheng Qinghe unhappily, "Young Master Zheng isn't much behind. I heard the Zheng family often releases disabled slaves."
Zheng Qinghe jumped up and down instantly, his face flushed as he argued, "Nonsense! They were already disabled before they entered the mansion!"
Jiang Luli shrugged, looking nonchalant: "Who knows."
He really didn't want to continue this meaningless argument with Zheng Qinghe, so he said, "Let's go. When I came out, I happened to see Yuchuan playing in the school. Should we ask Master Lin and Xiao Fuzi to take a look at him?"
Seeing that the two had finally stopped arguing, Gu Jiayue secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, saying, "Okay, let's go take a look on the way."
Gu Yuchuan is the most relaxed and comfortable person in the entire Gu family.
Although the family was busy, no one forced him to do anything. All he was asked to do was stay out of trouble.
Most of the time, he would follow Gu Jiayue into any class and sit in his seat obediently to listen to the lecture. After class, he would reach out to Gu Jiayue for a candy and then leave contentedly.
At other times, he would look for ant nests in every corner of Taohua Village, and occasionally follow the Gu family to the fields.
However, the Gu family was afraid that he would hurt himself, so they basically didn't let him work.
Grandpa even specially wove a bamboo mat for him and placed it under the tree so that he could lie down comfortably.
In the hearts of the Gu family, Gu Yuchuan will always be a child.
The four of them came to the school and easily found Gu Yuchuan in a corner.
At this moment, he was staring at the ant nest intently, his small body squatting there, motionless.
"Second brother." Gu Jiayue called softly.
Gu Yuchuan, who was watching intently, slowly turned his head after hearing Gu Jiayue's voice, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Gu Jiayue waved to him with a gentle smile on her face.
Gu Yuchuan reluctantly put down the branch in his hand and walked over slowly. "Second sister." He said softly.
Gu Jiayue took his hand and saw that his palm was covered with tiny specks of mud. She took out her handkerchief and wiped it carefully. "I need a small favor from you, brother. Can you help me?"
Gu Yuchuan tilted his head and looked at Gu Jiayue. He couldn't help but think: This second sister must be treating me like a fool again.
He knew that his second sister was very capable and didn't need help from a kid like him, so she must be playing a game with him.
Humph, how childish! He didn't want to play this kind of house game with the little girl at all.
But this is his second sister, and his mother said that he is the older brother and should take care of his younger siblings at home.
"Okay, but wait for me." He said, picked up the branch on the ground, ran to the ant nest, squatted down, and started fiddling with it.
A few people were curious and followed him to see what he was doing.
Gu Yuchuan drew a circle outside the ant nest with branches and surrounded the ants.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Luli asked curiously.
Gu Yuchuan raised his head and said proudly, "Stupid, this will keep the ants inside. They won't run away even if I leave."
Jiang Luli felt his face flush as soon as these words came out. Being called a fool by a fool was really heartbreaking.
He didn't believe that a circle could contain all these ants. So he squatted down to take a look, intending to prove to Gu Yuchuan that the world was not that simple and that a circle could not contain ants at all.
But after just a few seconds, Jiang Luli was stunned.
Because he saw with his own eyes that when the ants walked to the circle, they would turn or look back, as if they were really trapped in the circle.
This... is amazing.
Gu Jiayue stood aside, speechlessly watching the four men squatting together, playing with an ant nest like children.
Sure enough, no matter how old they are, men are so childish!
