Chapter 856: I Told You, That Kid Has Bad Intentions

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Yuwei was not dim-witted. She listened deliberately to what Gu Juexi had to say in his impatient tone. There was rage in his tone too.

Gu Juexi opened his mouth to explain himself further but Ye Yuwei had replaced the herb basket and walked out of the room.

Gu Juexi covered his face with his hands and rested his elbows on the stone table.

He was being impetuous. The closer he was to the truth, the more he realized he couldn’t handle it.

Ye Shu and his parents, what was the true nature of the relationship between these three people?

Now, Nalan Chunbo and Ye Di had come into the picture as well.

Ye Yuwei walked to the front of the house angrily. Master Yao Lao was still seeing her patients at that moment.

So she would not get into Master Yao Lao’s way, Ye Yuwei quietly tidied up the prescription papers and Chinese brushes—the usual prescription writing tools—that Master Yao Lao used.

There were many patients outside but they queued up in order willingly. In fact, giving out queue tickets was to keep track of how many patients were available for today, so that those who didn’t get a ticket would stop waiting.

Even after Ye Yuwei had given out all the tickets, her mood had yet to be lifted. The people without the tickets were asked to come back tomorrow, while those with the tickets could continue to wait for their turn.

“Lady, are you newly hired by Master Yao Lao?” asked a lady who was sitting on a stool nearby, waiting for her turn.

Ye Yuwei looked at Master Yao Lao who was seeing her patient inside. “I’m her daughter-in-law.”

“What? But I thought Master Yao Lao’s son was already dead long ago?” asked the lady in shock.

Ye Yuwei lowered her head and anxiously played with her fingers. ‘She has an indestructible godson’.

“It should be that godson of hers. Wasn’t this clinic opened by her godson for her to operate?” Someone in front spoke up to help answer the question.

Ye Yuwei stopped talking once and for all. Gu Juexi hadn’t come out. ‘I am furious!’

“Aunt,” Yuan Mo’s silvery voice vibrated in Ye Yuwei’s ear suddenly.

Ye Yuwei turned around to look at the approaching boy who was holding a plate with a watermelon on it. “Hi Yuan Mo, what is this?”

“Aunt, it’s very hot today. This watermelon is from my house’s orchard, it’s for you.” Yuan Mo passed the plate with the watermelon to Ye Yuwei. “Try it, Aunt, it’s really sweet.”

Ye Yuwei squatted to be on eye level with little Yuan Mo. She looked at him and reached out to ruffle his hair. “Thank you. Why are you so well-behaved?”

Yuan Mo smiled radiantly. His tender cheeks flushed pink. “Aunt, you enjoy the watermelon. I have to head back to my grandfather to search for herbs on the hill.”

Ye Yuwei stared at the little boy who was running towards an old man with an herb basket on his back, the plate in her hands. She thought of her own dear son who was just as obedient as that boy. She missed her children a little bit more each day.

Luckily, today was the last day.

“I told you, that kid has bad intentions,” Gu Juexi’s gravelly voice sounded behind her.

The smile on Ye Yuwei’s face disappeared in a split second.

Gu Juexi stared at Yuan Mo’s back that was slowly fading as though he was looking at his rival. He couldn’t stop thinking that the boy had an ill-intentioned purpose.

Ye Yuwei wanted to walk inside with the watermelon when her hand was grabbed by Gu Juexi instantly.

Ye Yuwei lowered her gaze to look at his skinny hand that was holding hers. The bones were sticking out and the green nerves were almost visible on the back of his hand. He was indeed a lot thinner than he used to be because of the injury.

Gu Juexi pulled Ye Yuwei toward a quiet place where not many people wandered. He pressed her against the wall and squinted at the woman who was struggling in his grip.
