Chapter 971: Scheming Wolf

The next day.

Gu Qiqi felt that something was wrong.

Firstly, for some reason, her palm was slightly numb. She even felt like her skin was peeling.

She didn’t use her hands yesterday. Did she do any heavy work?

Facing the sunlight, she kept feeling that the skin between her thumb and index finger was slightly red. It was as if it had undergone too much friction.

She wasn’t a woodworker who had been carrying an axe all day.

However, she quickly threw this question to the back of her mind.

Because she quickly discovered that there was something else that was wrong.

What did she wear at home last night?

Why was she clean and wearing a bathrobe now?

Gong Jue pushed open the door and entered. He brought her breakfast. “What are you thinking about? Eat first!”

Gu Qiqi tilted her small head and thought for a long time. Finally, she remembered. “Did I come back in an evening gown yesterday?”

A trace of displeasure flashed across Gong Jue’s eyes, but he still replied honestly, “Yes.”

“Ah, I borrowed that from someone else. I have to return it to them after cleaning it. There are so many diamonds on it.”

Gong Jue remained calm. “I’ve already instructed someone to help you wash it and return it to its original owner.”

“How do you know who to return it to?” Gu Qiqi was surprised at Gong Jue’s efficiency.

Gong Jue was still as calm as water. “Chu Junmo. Aren’t you guys partners?”

Gu Qiqi looked at Gong Jue suspiciously.

Why did she feel that Gong Jue was so magnanimous this morning? He didn’t act jealous at all.

This was simply a different person from his usual jealous image.

Could it be that… she had misunderstood him in the past?

Actually, Gong Jue could also be very generous?

She couldn’t help but be a little touched. She took the initiative to hold his arm. “Thank you for understanding. Actually, I’m so worried that you won’t let me participate in the competition and won’t let me form a team with Chu Junmo to torture and defeat some scumbags. But do you know, Gong Jue? I really need spme strong support for this competition. The Chu Clan’s pharmacy is very suitable in this aspect.”

Gong Jue tolerated it and said briefly, “Okay. Continue to cooperate with him then.”

His arrogant look didn’t seem like he knew that Chu Junmo had been scammed out of the country by him at all!

He was like a scheming wolf!

The World Medical Competition officially began with the attention from the whole world.

The media world gathered and broadcasted this grand event live.

In order to be a good host, the Empire chose the competition venue to be the Empire’s most awesome medical organization—the Imperial Medical University’s VIP laboratory.

Gu Qiqi was familiar with this place. During the summer vacation, she interned in the laboratory with Professor Zhou Qing. The doctors and professors inside knew her too. As she was especially hardworking when she interned, everyone had a good impression of her.

Once the competition started, many old acquaintances came to greet her.

“Qiqi, I heard that you’re in the same group as the people from S Nation. You can do it. The people from S Nation aren’t easy to deal with. You have to protect yourself.”

“Qiqi, tell us if you need us to prepare any special surgical equipment!”

“Qiqi, this is all the information from the previous years’ competitions. I have saved it here. If you need it, take a look!”

The good relationships that had been unintentionally created played an important role at this unexpected moment.

From being an unknown country girl to now being cared for by so many seniors, Gu Qiqi’s heart undoubtedly warmed.

However…

To some people, it was heartbreaking!

Gu Xuexue and Gu Meifeng followed the Shen family’s team to the competition venue. When they saw how popular Gu Qiqi was, they felt like they had a fishbone stuck in their throats. They had to spit it out.
