Chapter 20 Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road
A woman sat quietly in front of the camera. She was dressed in a moon-white ancient costume, her hair was casually tied up, and her small face was lightly made up. She was a natural beauty without using any beauty filters.
The well-informed Mr. Zhang realized that her outfit was not simple at all; just look at the hairpin in her hair—it was a unique piece, priceless.
Such a beautiful girl, could she be a relative of the Liu family? Or perhaps a granddaughter-in-law? Probably not, a well-off family like theirs wouldn't need their own family members to appear in public and do live streaming.
Although the live streaming industry has been developing rapidly in the past two years, they are not short of money. It's also possible that a relative is here to experience life. Follow them and take a closer look.
At the same time, Gu Yunqi returned with many gifts and entered Gu Yan's room under the watchful eyes of the third brother.
"Yan'er, look what I brought you!"
Gu Yan quickly stuffed the book into her desk, pretended to take out her textbook, and turned around with surprise, "Second brother, you're finally back! Is your company that busy? You haven't come to see me for almost half a month."
After placing the gift on the bed, Gu Yunqi pulled up a stool and sat down.
"My dear sister, do you know that my company won't go bankrupt? Last night, Liu's Enterprises directly injected 300 million yuan into us to handle operations. It's all thanks to you!"
"mine?"
Gu Yan thought about it and realized that she only knew Liu Qingshan, but the two of them didn't have much interaction. After all, in her eyes, he was an ignorant, irresponsible, troublesome, unreasonable, and lecherous scoundrel who bullied others at every turn.
"Yes, if it weren't for you, how could they possibly want our little karaomi? Thank you, Yan'er."
Gu Yan understood; it was probably Gu Yunxi who was behind it. Since her second brother didn't know who was helping him, she might as well just go with the flow.
After all, apart from the fourth and second brothers, everyone else seemed to be siding with that country bumpkin.
"It's nothing. I'm just happy to help my brother solve his problems, but..."
Before she could finish speaking, Gu Yan lowered her head. When she looked up again, she appeared aggrieved and delicate, her eyes misty, her pitiful appearance instantly arousing one's protective instincts.
"Yan'er, have you gained weight since I last saw you?"
What?
Gu Yan, who was about to start her performance, was stunned. She couldn't understand why her second brother would say that. Had she really gained a lot of weight?
"However, you were too thin before. It would be better if you were a little chubby; it would make you look more blessed."
"Second brother, your sister is back. These past few days, all the brothers have been infatuated with her, and they're not even as nice to me as before. I can't understand it, so I ate a little more."
“Yunxi? She’s just a girl from the countryside. You don’t need to care about her. She’s my sister by blood, but you’re the sister we’ve lived with for eighteen years. I can tell who’s more important.”
Gu Yan was secretly delighted. "I knew it. My second brother is the one who loves me the most."
......
Although there were many people in the live stream, most of them were just there to watch the excitement. Surprisingly, no one applied to connect. Gu Yunxi didn't know how to interact with others, so she just sat there.
She received quite a few gifts, and finally a netizen who remained "unmoved by her charms" requested to connect. She answered and glanced at the person on the other end.
I never expected that we would run into each other so soon.
"Dr. Zhao, what questions do you have that need to be answered?"
Zhao Huai closed the office door and pointed it at the camera again. "Gu Yunxi, you ruined my plans. I'll make sure you can't stay in Jiangcheng anymore."
[What? Is this the Dr. Zhao I know? Why does he look like this? He makes money by the second, how come he has time to go live? Does he really have some unspeakable problem that needs to be solved?]
[They're coming with a menacing air, clearly not friendly. Keep it up, streamer! Even though he's a doctor, I'm rooting for you.]
[What kind of miracle doctor is he? He might have some skills, but he only gets good service for those who pay him. People like us who follow the proper hospital procedures get scolded by him countless times. Thank goodness we've been discharged; that guy has such a terrible temper.]
What do you want with me?
Zhao Huai glared at her, wishing he could devour her. "You ruined my plans. Now the Liu family's cooperation with our hospital has stopped. You have to pay compensation. I'm going to expose your true colors as a liar in front of so many people."
[What's going on? Judging from Dr. Zhao's tone, it seems the rumors about Mr. Liu's recovery weren't actually his doing. Then why is the hospital issuing such a brazen announcement? Is it just a case of false advertising?]
"Oh? I'm all ears."
Gu Yunxi could tell what kind of person was sitting opposite her just by looking at his face. Since he was looking for death, she didn't mind sending him on his way.
"Everyone, don't believe the woman in this live stream. She's a fake charlatan, a fraudster. I don't know what methods she used to temporarily improve Mr. Liu's health, but she's a complete swindler who's willing to do anything to cheat people out of money."
Under my care for several courses of treatment, Mr. Liu's health has improved somewhat. However, a full recovery will definitely require a long period of rehabilitation training. She, on the other hand, came with all sorts of absurd reasons, completely fooling everyone..."
[Dr. Zhao is right. When people are sick, they should see a doctor. Believing in superstitions is just psychological comfort and doesn't really help with treatment!]
[With a gentle smile: My grandfather's recovery is all thanks to Master Gu. Please don't be misled by him. He's the real swindler. Our Liu family has spent over ten million yuan on him, and he actually used vicious methods to give my grandfather acupuncture, hoping to extend his lifespan and make him look a little more energetic, all to swindle our family's money.]
[With a gentle smile: I promise again, no one in the Liu family will ever seek out such an quack doctor if they experience any health problems.]
Upon seeing that comment, Zhao Huai wanted nothing more than to drag that person out and beat them up. He even tried to distort the facts, but Gu Yunxi spoke first.
"Did everyone see this? This is the doctor you paid a high price for when you were sick. Since he came directly to us, I'll do a divination for him. Dr. Zhao, since we're destined to meet, you can tell me what you want to know. If you don't want to, then don't waste our resources."
"Really? You're such a big shot, you liar. How about we calculate when you're going to die?"
"Whether I live or die is not important; what's important is that you won't live much longer."
[What's going on? Are they already tearing each other apart?]
[Eating grapes without spitting out the grape skins: We support you, anchor! Expose Dr. Zhao's true colors and let everyone see if he's a human or a monster!]
[Kid, hurry up and study for the college entrance exam, don't come here to join the fun.]
"Is that so?" Zhao Huai forced a smile. "Then you do the calculation. If you're wrong, don't blame me for being impolite."
Perhaps Gu Yunxi had angered him, because his face looked unwell, dark red and swollen, with veins bulging on his forehead, giving him a menacing appearance.
"Then you'd better listen carefully, I'm about to begin."
