"Thank you my foot!" Li Sisi's black hand, which had stopped moving, quickly started moving again, pinching hard on the hidden places where she couldn't complain.
"Do you think I'm stupid? Is Sister Wan Tang a capitalist's daughter? How could she pass the military's political vetting? How could she open a pharmacy and run a business?"
"Do business?" Liu Cuicui's voice suddenly rose, forgetting even to dodge.
Su Wantang is just a spoiled capitalist's daughter, what kind of business would she do?
When Su Wantang was around, Li Sisi was more reserved, but now that Su Wantang was gone, she had no more inhibitions, and her mouth seemed to be laced with poison.
"You're showing off an old-fashioned coat like it's a treasure to Sister Wan Tang. Sister Wan Tang's whitening cream sells for fifty yuan a tube."
"Huh?" Liu Cuicui wondered if she had misheard. "How much? Fifty yuan?"
Her voice cracked with shock, making Li Sisi frown.
She put her hands on her hips and said, "What's fifty yuan? Once Sister Wantang signs the contract with my aunt, she'll be making countless fifty yuan a month."
Seeing that Liu Cuicui was listless, Li Sisi took the opportunity to pinch her twice more, then walked away with her two braids swinging.
Su Wantang was unaware of this little incident.
After parting ways with Li Sisi, Su Wantang turned around and went to the hospital.
She went to Gu Shiya's office where she practiced medicine, knocked on the door, but no one answered.
Just then, a passing nurse suddenly spoke up.
"You're here to see Director Gu?"
"yes."
"Dr. Gu is performing surgery and will be out in a while. Go register and pay first. Once you've completed this process, sit on that bench over there and wait for Dr. Gu to come back. He'll call your number."
"Thanks."
The nurse muttered something as she walked away.
"He's dressed quite well, and doesn't seem like a patient who doesn't know the procedures, so why is he just standing there dumbfounded at the door?"
Su Wantang, whose hearing is quite good: "..."
Three hours later, at 5 p.m., Gu Shiya appeared at the door of the clinic.
As soon as she appeared, Su Wantang got up, but the patients were faster and swarmed around Gu Shiya as they entered the office.
Half an hour later, after the workday ended, all the patients finally left.
Gu Shiya also came out of the office. When she saw Su Wantang still there, she was stunned for a moment, and a bitter smile appeared on her lips.
"You haven't left yet?"
She was still thinking of getting away with it.
Gu Shiya was not mentally prepared to meet Su Wantang.
This is his daughter, but she is only his daughter, not his daughter with her.
"Director Gu, I'd like to talk to you about the matter between you and my father."
But when trouble came knocking, Gu Shiya wasn't a coward who would cower and run away.
"Let's go, I know a good restaurant, shall we eat and chat?"
"good."
As she was about to leave the hospital, Su Wantang glanced at the phone at the nurses' station and said, "Director Gu, wait for me a moment, I'm going to make a call home."
Gu Shiya nodded.
Half an hour later, Gu Shiya and Su Wantang appeared at a time-honored roast duck restaurant.
Su Wantang grew up in Shanghai and had eaten Peking duck, but she had never eaten Kyoto Peking duck, as the way it was eaten looked quite different.
Noticing the surprise in Su Wantang's eyes, Gu Shiya took the initiative to speak: "You've never eaten this before?"
There was no disdain in her tone; a hint of surprise was in her voice.
"Hmm, I've never had it."
"It's okay, there's a first time for everything. I picked this place, and I'll teach you how to eat here."
As she spoke, Gu Shiya picked up a thin pancake from which the lines of her fingertips were faintly visible, added two scallion shreds and two slices of duck meat dipped in sauce, wrapped them together, and rolled them up.
"That's it, it's very simple. Try it, is it good?"
As Gu Shiya handed the pancake over, she suddenly realized something was wrong and was about to pull her hand back when Su Wantang took it without any disgust and took a bite.
Her eyes curved into crescent moons: "Director Gu, it's delicious."
Previously, she had never considered that possibility. Now that she knew the truth, Gu Shiya was shocked to realize that Su Wantang's facial features were just like Su Zhichen when he was young.
Refined and handsome.
She was bewitched by that face back then...
Su Wantang looked up and saw tears welling up in Gu Shiya's eyes, filled with a complex mix of emotions, some of which she couldn't even understand.
But Su Wantang understood clearly.
Gu Shiya wasn't looking at her; she was looking through her at someone else.
This person has a close relationship with her father, or perhaps it should be said that another branch of the Su family has a close relationship with him.
"Director Gu, Director Gu... are you alright?"
Gu Shiya graciously accepted the tissue Su Wantang handed her and wiped away her tears: "I'm sorry you had to see this."
"Your dad and I... are old friends, so you can call me Aunt Gu."
Logically speaking, even if Gu Shiya didn't hate Su Wantang, the daughter of her love rival, she wouldn't like her.
But the reality is quite the opposite.
She didn't dislike Su Wantang, nor did she hold a grudge against her. Gu Shiya knew that this was a conflict between their parents' generation, and she didn't blame Su Wantang.
"Aunt Gu, have you known my dad for a long time?"
Gu Shiya gave a wry smile: "Nearly forty years, is that a long time?"
Su Wantang froze, and the wrap in her hand fell into the plate.
She guessed that Gu Shiya and Su Zhichen might have known each other when they were young, but she didn't expect it to be so early.
Su Zhichen is forty-five years old this year.
In other words, she knew Aunt Gu when her father was five years old?
Thoughts surged wildly through her mind like a Pandora's box had been opened, but Su Wantang took a deep breath to suppress them.
"Aunt Gu, may I ask you some questions?"
"You want to ask about what happened between you and your dad?"
Su Wantang nodded and then shook her head. She did want to. With so much information, who could resist being curious?
But what she really wanted to know was who the enemy behind the scenes was that had forced the Su family into exile, and whether it had anything to do with the Su family.
"Okay, but before you ask me anything, answer a few questions first."
Su Wantang was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay, Aunt Gu, go ahead and ask."
"Your dad has amnesia?"
"To my knowledge, no."
These words unintentionally revealed that Su Zhichen had changed his mind and lied about the facts.
Gu Shiya remained silent for a long time. She rolled up a pancake for herself and chewed it slowly.
Su Wantang did not urge him.
Gu Shiya looked very calm, with no abnormality on her face, but Su Wantang vaguely felt that she was about to shatter.
She then asked, "Your dad... really likes your mom?"
This time, Su Wantang clearly heard the hoarseness in Gu Shiya's voice.
It's quite heartbreaking to hear.
Unlike her previous straightforwardness, Su Wantang stammered, "I...like...it." She liked it even after being cuckolded.
This time, Gu Shiya ate two pancakes. Her movements were very elegant, but her cheeks were so full that it looked a little scary.
"Aunt Gu, have some water."
"Thank you, I'm fine."
"Finally, one question."
"Over the years, has he... ever mentioned me?"
"No, apart from Song Wanying, my father has never given another woman a second glance."
"Song Wanying?" Gu Shiya blinked, her eyes stinging.
"My mom."
Those two simple words almost caused Gu Shiya to lose her composure.
But as she ate the biscuit, her eyelids drooping, she held back her tears.
Looking up again, her tone was light: "What do you want to ask me?"
