Chapter 914: Why Can’t You Take Medicine?

Yu Mufeng clicked his tongue. “Don’t you feel that you’re losing out? He didn’t even pay you for calling him ‘brother-in-law,’ and here you go calling him that nonstop.”

Gu Si wrinkled his eyebrows and lamented his loss. “What should I do? I don’t remember how many times I’ve addressed him as my brother-in-law… D*mn it! What a waste!”

Yu Mufeng was speechless.

“Let me see…” Gu Si began counting with his fingers. “Ugh, forget it. I’ll put it down as 100 times. Brother Mufeng, how much do you think I should get for each time I addressed Lu Chengzhou as my brother-in-law? I can’t say something low because then it won’t match his status as Red Flame’s boss.”

The corners of Yu Mufeng’s lips twitched.

When they arrived at the entrance of Gu Mang’s room, they stopped to knock on the door and only entered after receiving permission. They opened the door to see Gu Mang screwing on the cap of the sleeping pill bottle before placing it back on the table.

“We’re here to remove your stitches, sis.” Gu Si frowned when he noticed the bottle of sleeping pills. “Don’t take those pills anymore. If you have a problem falling asleep, I’ll get a hypnotist to come over.”

Gu Mang took a look at him before sitting down on the sofa chair. “Tell me what you don’t understand from today’s lesson.”

At Gu Mang’s request, Yu Mufeng had been teaching Gu Si human anatomy over the past few days. Gu Si would then ask Gu Mang about the stuff he didn’t understand.

That said, Gu Mang changing the topic was too abrupt and obvious.

Gu Si sighed but said nothing else on the matter. Instead, he started sharing his views on the medical knowledge he had learned earlier. Meanwhile, Yu Mufeng placed a cup of milk on the table and took the medical kit out from the cupboard before walking back over to the pair of siblings.

Gu Mang drank the milk occasionally as she answered Gu Si’s questions.

After taking out the tools needed to remove the stitches and a bottle of disinfectant solution, Yu Mufeng began removing the bandage on Gu Mang’s hand.

Running across her palm was a sinister-looking, pinkish wound with stitch marks over it. Although the wound had recovered well, Yu Mufeng’s anger couldn’t help but flare when he saw it. Taking a deep breath to suppress his anger, he then removed the stitches with the tool. “There’ll be scars for sure. Use a scar removal cream for now. I’ll contact a dermatologist for you.”

“No need.”

“Huh?” Yu Mufeng looked up. “No need for the scar removal cream?”

Gu Mang nodded. “Let’s talk about this another time.”

Knowing that his sister disliked having scars on her body, Gu Si was surprised to hear her refuse the scar removal cream.

“Sure. It’s troublesome to use and it’s not that effective anyway.” Yu Mufeng contemplated for a bit. “I’ll get you a dermatologist when the wound is fully healed.”

Gu Mang said nothing while Yu Mufeng continued to remove the stitches, disinfected her wound, and bandaged her hand up again. After that, he took out Old Master Bai’s medicine from the medical kit and poured out the specific amount needed onto the cap. “There’s no ingredient list on the packaging, but I managed to identify a few of the ingredients based on their smell. Although you’ll suffer quite a few side effects, this medicine is really effective.”

The medicine had originally been manufactured for the army.

Gu Si stood up. “I’ll get you a cup of water, sis.”

“No need.”

Gu Si froze. His big, black eyes turned toward his sister, who stood up and walked over to the bathroom with the bottle cap.

Both Yu Mufeng and Gu Si looked equally confused when they heard the toilet flush. The bottle cap was empty when Gu Mang emerged from the bathroom. It was clear that she had flushed the medicine down the toilet.

Yu Mufeng found her actions baffling. “Why did you do that?”

“I’m not taking any medicine,” replied Gu Mang succinctly as she sat back down on the sofa. “If Grandpa asks about it, just tell him that I took it.”

The medicine was different from the usual anti-inflammatory medicine. People would be able to tell if she did not take it. The same went for the scar removal cream. She would not be able to hide the fact that she was not taking the medicine or using the cream from the people around her. Thus, she made no effort to hide it from Yu Mufeng and Gu Si.

“You won’t be able to recover quickly enough if you don’t take the medicine.” Yu Mufeng felt mixed emotions when he recalled Gu Si telling him that Bai Sui had forced his sister to take medicine. There’s no way her hand will recover in 15 days if she doesn’t take it.

Gu Si found his sister’s behavior peculiar too. Why is she opposed to taking it now? She took it when she was injured in the past. If she doesn’t like taking medicine now, then why is she still taking sleeping pills?

“You talk too much.” Gu Mang narrowed her eyes as she said in a dangerous tone, “You’ve got some nerve to talk back to me now.”

Yu Mufeng and Gu Si fell silent right away. The former’s neck shrank in fear while the latter quietly swallowed his saliva.

“Just do as you’re told.” Gu Mang drank the last of the milk before handing the empty cup to Yu Mufeng. “Get out.”

Yu Mufeng took the glass with trepidation and hurriedly left the room with Gu Si. The two stood still outside after closing the door.

“That’s strange.” For once, Gu Si felt that he was out of the loop. “Why is my sister behaving so weirdly?”

Yu Mufeng had a serious expression on his face. “Never mind that she doesn’t want to use the scar removal cream, but she even refused to take the medicine. How on earth is her injury going to heal in time?”

“What I can’t understand is why she refused to take the medicine.”

“Isn’t it normal for someone to take medicine when they’re sick or injured? I checked the medicine. There’s no problem with it.” Yu Mufeng couldn’t figure out why either.

“It’s not like she can’t take the medicine, so why won’t she take it?” Gu Si turned back to look at the closed door.

Can’t take medicine? Something struck Yu Mufeng’s mind just then. His eyes widened and he breathed in sharply as he felt his scalp grow numb. His heart almost jumped out of his mouth. He turned around right away and pushed open the door without even knocking on it.

Gu Mang, who was sitting in front of her computer with headphones over her ears, looked over when she heard the commotion. She was just about to ask what was going on when she saw Yu Mufeng’s expression. Her eyes narrowed slightly.

Yu Mufeng’s voice was trembling as he stuttered, “Y-you…”
