She straightened up and looked out of the window. The uneasiness in her heart grew stronger and stronger. Cui Hong and Cui Lin appeared in Gu Man’s mind. How could there be such a coincidence? Their surnames were the same, but they both looked for her today.
She had never heard Xiang Yin mention Cui Lin’s identity, but even so, it seemed like there was already an answer.
To be able to travel with Xiang Yin and even have this surname, his identity was obvious, but she had never cared.
Gu Man’s heart was a little heavy. She clenched her fists and looked at the scenery that quickly passed by the window, her mood inexplicably low.
When the car stopped in front of the Cui Family’s villa, it seemed that everything was settled. Something had happened to someone in the Cui Family.
Gu Man looked in the direction of the Cui Family with an uneasy heart. Even through the transparent glass, she could see the panicked crowd inside.
Who was the one that fell sick?
No matter who it was, she seemed to be unable to accept this outcome. An illness that could cause such a huge commotion that even Cui Lin was helpless was definitely not a simple illness.
Although her initial guess was that it was very likely a Gu worm, the outcome was not confirmed. She could not be sure that she could definitely resolve it.
Gu Man got out of the car and entered the villa. Unexpectedly, she met Uncle Li, who had come down in a hurry.
Uncle Li was a little surprised to see Gu Man.
Who leaked this news to Miss Gu Man? He knew Old Master Cui the best, so he understood that Old Master Cui definitely did not want Gu Man to see him in a sorry state and worry her.
After he stabilized his emotions, he quickly said, “Miss Gu, it’s not convenient for you to meet Old Master Cui today. You should wait for another day before coming.”
When Gu Man heard this, her heart sank. She also understood who was sick in the Cui family. She looked at Uncle Li. “Uncle Li, I’m here at someone’s request.”
Gu Man’s words stunned Uncle Li. He smiled helplessly. “Since Miss Gu knows, 1’11 be blunt. Old Master Cui definitely doesn’t want you to worry.”
“Uncle Li, I’m afraid you’ve forgotten that I have medical skills too.” Gu Man’s eyes revealed some worry, but her expression was extremely confident.
At this moment, Cui Lin came downstairs. He had received a message from his subordinate and came to welcome Gu Man. He did not expect to see Uncle Li and Gu Man at the door. He thought that Uncle Li had stopped Gu Man, so he quickly said, “Uncle Li, I invited Miss Gu. Although she’s so young, she has some achievements in medicine. She might be able to treat Dad’s illness.”
Cui Lin knew that Uncle Li was a sensible person, so he did not explain Gu Man’s identity much. He came down from upstairs and came to Gu Man’s side to bring her in.
Gu Man followed behind Cui Lin.
Uncle Li was stunned for a moment before he turned to look at their backs.
“When did Young Master Cui Lin get to know Miss Gu?”
Cui Hong and Jia Ling had been guarding beside Old Master Cui’s bed. When the door opened, they subconsciously looked over.
When Jia Ling saw Gu Man, her pupils constricted. She stood up in disbelief and questioned, “How can you be here?”
Gu Man was not surprised by Jia Ling’s performance. She had long guessed that that group of people was most likely sent by Jia Ling. At this moment, she only raised her eyebrows and asked, “Why can’t 1 be here?”
“That shouldn’t be the case. That group of people clearly said… Could it be that they’re lying to me?!” When Jia Ling thought of this, she clenched her fists and lost control of her emotions.
Cui Hong knew the truth. He frowned and pulled Jia Ling behind him, berating her in a low voice, “What are you doing? You clearly promised me just now. Have you forgotten what you said?”
The flames burning on Jia Ling’s body disappeared immediately. She nodded obediently. The most important thing now was Old Master Cui.
Moreover, she could take this opportunity to get closer to Gu Man. What Cui Hong said was definitely not as effective as what Gu Man would tell Old Master Cui.
Her eyes darted around and she already had a plan.
Gu Man glanced at Jia Ling from the corner of her eye. She was even more obedient than before..
