Chapter 86: Are You Scamming Me In The Hospital?_i

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Gu Ci ignored the rumors and gossip, casually mocking and not responding. She turned a blind eye to the group of beautiful and wealthy friends in Gu Chuyun’s circle, with all their implications.

Third Master was indeed Third Mastedr, always keeping his distance from her.

The next morning, Grandma recovered well after the surgery and could get out of bed. Gu Ci bought a bouquet of flowers to visit her. Jiang Junlin and Grandpa were at the hospital. Grandma was touched when she saw Gu Ci. She had been wanting to see Gu Ci for a while, but Gu Ci didn’t come to visit her, and she was afraid that Gu Ci held a grudge against her.

Gu Ci remained calm, placing the flowers and fruits down, and asked a few routine questions. Grandma felt guilty and couldn’t bring herself to apologize when she saw Gu Ci’s cold attitude.

Jiang Junlin said, “Cici, Grandma felt her heart rate was a bit fast this morning. Can you check on her?”

“Pass me the report.”

Grandma felt a little guilty because she was actually recovering well.

Jiang Junlin handed her the report. Gu Ci carefully examined it and confirmed that the medication prescribed by Dr. Zhang and Dr. Li was fine. Gu Ci said, “There are no issues with the post-operative recovery. If you feel chest tightness or a fast heart rate, it might be due to lying down for too long. You can go downstairs to the hospital and relax.”

“I was planning to take Grandma for a walk too. Let’s go together,” Jiang Junlin said.

“Okay!”

Gu Ci didn’t refuse. The two siblings pushed Grandma downstairs to bask in the sun. Grandpa, who was looking after Grandma, was tired and taking a nap in the neighboring bed.

There were many people sunbathing in the courtyard.

Gu Ci accompanied Grandma, and the old lady couldn’t help but ask, “Are you busy lately?”

“Yes, quite busy,” Gu Ci said. “School is about to start, and there are many preparations to be done.”

“Let your brother help you,” Grandma suggested. She felt guilty for her previous bad attitude towards Gu Ci and regretted her actions. She also saved her despite their past grievances. “Being a doctor is a good profession, saving lives and helping the sick.”

Gu Ci nodded, feeling at a loss for words.

Jiang Junlin asked, “When can Grandma be discharged from the hospital?”

“She will stay in the hospital for another week for observation. If there are no complications and she feels fine, she can continue her recovery at home. She shouldn’t be exposed to emotional stress or exert herself,” Gu Ci said calmly.

“When Grandma is discharged, let’s have a reunion dinner at home,” Jiang Junlin suggested.

Gu Ci hesitated, and Jiang Junlin nudged Grandma’s shoulder. Grandma said, “What do you like to eat? I’ll ask Aunt Gui to prepare. Your mother loved fish.”

“I don’t like fish,” Gu Ci replied.

Jiang Junlin and Grandpa were both speeechless.

In fact, Gu Ci used to love eating fish when she was younger. Later, Gu Chuyun also developed a taste for fish. Gu Wenliang said that Jiang Mingyue loved eating fish and had to have it with every meal. It seemed to be genetic. Whenever there was a fish on the table, the tenderest part of the belly was definitely for Gu Chuyun. Gu Ci couldn’t compete with her, as she used to fight with Gu Chuyun for it when she was younger. She was scolded by Lu Man and criticized by Gu Wenliang for being aggressive.

Over time, she developed a strong dislike for fish.

It had become a habit.

“What do you like to eat then?” Grandma asked gently.

Seeing their cautiousness, Gu Ci softly said, “Beef.”

“Alright,” Grandma happily said. “Aunt Gui makes delicious beef.”

Jiang Junlin’s phone rang, and he glanced at it. “Cici, you push Grandma, I’ll take the call.”

“Okay!”

Gu Ci pushed Grandma for a walk by the artificial lake. Patients who could walk freely liked to come to the artificial lake for a stroll. An elderly man asked, “Is this your granddaughter? She’s really beautiful.”

“She’s my granddaughter,” Grandma proudly said. “She just got into A University this year, the top scorer in the college entrance examination, studying medicine.”

“Impressive, impressive.”

“She’s a talented doctor, saving lives,” the elderly man praised.

A group of patients looked at Gu Ci with kind eyes. Gu Ci felt both amused and exasperated. She politely nodded and greeted them while pushing Grandma to continue walking. Grandma asked suddenly, “Cici, are you still angry with Grandma?”

“No.”

“When your brother is not around, you don’t want to talk to Grandma.”

“We are still not familiar with each other, and I don’t know what to say,” Gu Ci said. “I’m not good with words, and I’m afraid I’ll say something wrong and make you angry.”

“Grandma won’t get angry,” Grandma felt overwhelmingly guilty. “It’s Grandma’s fault for what happened to you and your mother.”

Gu Ci said, “Grandma, it’s all in the past.”

Grandma’s heart felt a pang of sadness, and her eyes turned red. Gu Ci whispered, “You just had surgery, so avoid extreme joy or sorrow. If it affects your health, Grandpa, Uncle, and Brother will worry.”

Grandma wiped her tears. “In the future, come home often for meals, okay?” “Okay!”

“You and your mother… are really alike,” Grandma couldn’t help but feel sad again. “When I first saw you that night, I dreamed of Mingyue. Back then… I strongly opposed her marrying Gu Wenliang.”

She strongly opposed Jiang Mingyue marrying Gu Wenliang. She had chosen a son-in-law and always hoped for a match of social status. Gu Wenliang wasn’t her ideal choice, and she was afraid her daughter would be unhappy.

Gu Ci didn’t know what to say. Gu Wenliang was her father in her eyes, even though he was irresponsible and hadn’t fulfilled his duties. It wasn’t appropriate to pour fuel on the fire when Grandma was already sad so as not to agitate her emotions.

Two girls who came to visit secretly took photos in the shadows. “Is that Gu Ci?”

“No doubt, it’s her.”

The girls angrily took out oranges and threw them at Gu Ci’s head. One of the oranges hit Gu Ci. They shouted, “Shameless! You seduced Lu Zhiyuan and caused him to have an accident during the competition.”

Gu Ci narrowed her eyes, looking displeased at them.

“Devoting yourself to Lu Zhiyuan, does he even recognize you? He clarified with his own words that he’s not dating anyone.”

“You don’t deserve Lu Zhiyuan at all. Stay away from him in the future!”

As they spoke, another orange was thrown. Gu Ci turned her head and caught the orange, remaining silent. Then, she suddenly raised her hand and threw the orange back, hitting the girl’s knee. She screamed in pain and fell to the ground, unable to stand up for a while.

“Ah, I broke my bone! I broke my bone! Gu Ci, you’ve gone too far. You’re done for. I’ll sue you!”

She cried out in pain, lying down and clutching her leg.

“Help, my friend broke her bone! Help…” The other girl shouted.

Grandma was shocked. “Cici, what’s going on?”

Doctors and nurses quickly came over. The girl cried and said, “Gu Ci hit me and broke my bone.”

Grandma panicked, and Gu Ci said, “Grandma, it’s nothing.”

Jiang Junlin also returned, furrowing his brows. “What happened?”

“She’s a fan of Lu Zhiyuan.”

Jiang Junlin saw the oranges on the ground and understood what had happened. His face turned grim, and he asked, “It’s not a big deal, even if she has a fracture. We can afford the compensation.”

A faint smile appeared on Gu Ci’s lips.

Doctors and nurses examined the girl’s injury. The doctor said, “Stop screaming. Your bones are fine, not even a fracture. It’s just a bruise.”

“I’m in too much pain to stand up.”

“That’s impossible!” The doctor firmly rejected her claim.. “A bone fracture from an orange hitting you? Are you trying to scam the hospital?”
