Lin Che said, “It’s your own stupidity. Okay, okay. Why did he look you up again? When you were sleeping with him, he never really went to find you.”

Shen Youran said, “How would I know? I met him at the school’s anniversary celebration the last time. After that, he would come and disturb me out of the blue.”

When Shen Youran was with Zhou Minhan, they were considered childhood sweethearts. But halfway through, he slept with another female classmate during a school trip and Shen Youran broke up with him.

Shen Youran went to study abroad after graduating and when she returned, he began to pester her again.

Lin Che laughed and said, “Don’t tell me he’s regretting now.”

“Even if he is, he still needs to see if I respond to him or not. I would have loved the attention back then but there’s no way he deserves me now. Nobody wants a secondhand good.”

“Exactly! We don’t need something that’s tainted.”

“…”

“Sigh.”

The two sisters chatted happily away and completely forgot about the men behind them who were getting bored.

Gu Jingze always wondered why Lin Che spoke so loudly. Now, he knew it had all to do with her social circle…

Lin Che quickly turned and gave Shen Youran a look to make her stop talking.

Shen Youran smiled cheekily and said, “Mr. Gu, I’m Lin Che’s good friend. Nice to meet you and sorry about that. Is Mr. Gu sick?”

Gu Jingze was rather polite to her and nodded, “Just a little accident. It’s nothing serious.”

Shen Youran heard and thought that he spoke so eloquently.

She glanced sympathetically at Lin Che.

Lin Che gave her a look that said ‘now you feel me’.

Shen Youran asked, “What exactly happened?”

Lin Che replied, “Gastroenteritis.”

Shen Youran heard this and quickly said, “Ah, gastroenteritis. When I got it last time, my mother definitely made me eat some lotus roots with ginger all smashed and cooked together. It’s especially useful and I got well after eating that.”

At the side, Chen Yucheng heard her and interrupted Shen Youran. She asked, “Which medical school did you graduate from? Who told you to eat some lotus roots?”

Shen Youran retorted, “What’s wrong? It’s effective for me.”

“You’re lucky that you didn’t die but please don’t mislead others okay? From the test results just now, the white blood cell level is very high and the ketone level is also very high. He needs to consume plenty of water to flush out the ketones and he also needs to reduce the inflammation. What lotus roots are you talking about?!”

“…” Shen Youran replied, “What? You can’t dismiss folk recipes just because you’re a doctor. These recipes have been passed down for years. A westernized person would not understand. You think you have the right to judge our ancestors’ wisdom?”

“Ha, I think that’s all rubbish.”

“What do you know?”

“I don’t know what you know. But just because the information was passed down many years does not mean that they are right. Women used to bind their feet in the past. Why aren’t you binding your feet now?” Chen Yucheng’s expression was uncultured and scary. He glared at Shen Youran.

Shen Youran looked at him with conviction, “What about the wheelbarrow or the lotus pose? These positions date back a few hundred years and I don’t see you complaining about them!”

“…”

“Sigh…”

Chen Yucheng’s face was dark and he stood completely still there.

Gu Jingze clenched his fist and cleared his throat. He said, “Dr. Chen, I need to rest. Miss Shen must also be tired from her busy afternoon. Why don’t you take her back to your place and let her rest?”

Chen Yucheng then came around and hurriedly said to Gu Jingze, “Why should she go back to my place…”

Gu Jingze replied, “She has stayed there once already and she’s more familiar there. Just let her stay with you.”

“But…”

“Dr. Chen, what other excuses do you have?” Gu Jingze smiled slightly at him but his eyes were full of threat.

Chen Yucheng was bitter inside.

However, Gu Jingze was the boss.

Chen Yucheng could only glance hatefully at Shen Youran.

Shen Youran didn’t care. She enjoyed watching him suffer. When he wasn’t happy, she was happy.

Who asked Chen Yucheng to be so detestable?

“President Gu, you are too kind. Heh heh. Lin Che must be very blissful to be with you!”

She finally said something that Gu Jingze would love to hear.

Chen Yucheng glanced at her again and could only say, “Let’s go. Don’t loiter around here anymore.”

Shen Youran smiled cheekily at Lin Che, “Take care of your hubby. We’ll talk again when he’s better.”

Lin Che looked at her helplessly and said to her, “Please be nicer to Dr. Chen.”

Shen Youran squinted her eyes and left.

Watching the two of them leave, Lin Che turned and smiled, “To think that Dr. Chen would have moments where he can’t win an argument. I thought psychologists would be experts in this area.”

Gu Jingze shook his head, “Alright, now your friend is fine too. Be humble and stop fooling around.”

Lin Che saw that Gu Jingze was still in pain, so she sat obediently beside him.

After taking the drip, Gu Jingze was finally a lot better. He was able to resume work the next day.

Lin Che was at the company busy preparing for a new show.

The new TV series was a modern drama. It was a little more deep with slapstick humor in an urban plot. It was going to be very popular. The female lead was a forensic doctor who just joined the police force. She was learning from a superior, became his disciple, and eventually developed feelings for him.

A popular new actor was playing the role of a superior with a poisonous tongue.

Although this drama had not begun filming, it was already becoming famous.

It was not easy for Yu Minmin to get her the script. She felt that the character was not so fragile and suited her image now.

Lin Che was discussing the script and filming but halfway through, she suddenly thought of Gu Jingze’s illness.

She could not contain herself and went out to call Gu Jingze.

When the call got through, Gu Jingze was in a meeting. He picked up the phone but was not even angry. He only asked, “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”

Lin Che said, “Nothing happened. I just wanted to ask you if you’re feeling better. How’s work?”

Gu Jingze sighed with relief. He said, “I’m fine. I’m a lot better.”

“Oh. Am I disturbing you? You better go do your work…”

“You’re not… Why? Are you concerned about me?” Gu Jingze sounded relaxed. It made Lin Che feel much more relaxed too.

“I… Of course, I’m concerned about you. You got sick because of me, to begin with.”

Gu Jingze snorted but continued to talk to her, “Oh right, I was going to tell you that I have a banquet tonight and you’re coming along with me. You should go get ready.”
