Gu Yang continued to advocate for her boyfriend. “And don’t forget about Ah Jue’s gold medal from the sports meet.”
Gu Pei had indeed overlooked this detail.
Ruan Xueling chimed in, “Exactly, Jue excels in sports. If he faces any danger, he can easily whisk Yangyang away.”
Feng Jue chuckled softly, nodding in agreement, “Mom’s absolutely right.”
Gu Jin cast a chilly glance at him, asserting, “There’s no need for all this fuss. I’ll ensure my sister’s safety.”
Feng Jue interjected, “I can protect Sister too.”
Observing the affectionate exchange between them, Ruan Xueling felt a surge of warmth.
Unwilling to be outdone, Gu Pei interjected, “Count me in…”
Gu Zhaoming, Ruan Xueling, Gu Jin, and Feng Jue simultaneously remarked, “You should prioritize your own safety first.”
Gu Pei deflated, crestfallen.
Gu Yang gently patted his shoulder, offering diplomatically, “Brother, let me take care of you.”
Gu Pei’s gratitude spilled out, “You’re the best, sis!”
Ah, finally, someone in the family appreciated him! Gu Yang suppressed a smile. Her brother seemed a bit slow on the uptake.
Low EQ: Put your safety first.
High EQ: Let me safeguard you.
Since Old Master Ruan’s birthday, Gu Jin had been visiting the Ruan family’s ancestral home every weekend to administer acupuncture to him.
Initially, Old Master Ruan had been resigned to his fate, thinking, what harm could a few needles do, especially if they were administered by his granddaughter?
During the first session, Ruan Meng and Ruan Bin hovered anxiously, even enlisting the help of an elderly Chinese doctor from Jin City Chinese Hospital to oversee proceedings.
However, as Gu Jin expertly performed the acupuncture, the old doctor couldn’t help but remark, “Impressive.”
Observing Ruan Meng and Ruan Bin’s perplexity, the old physician stroked his goatee and sighed appreciatively. “This young lady’s acupuncture technique is remarkably precise and steady. It’s evident she’s quite seasoned. Such proficiency at her age suggests she hails from a family steeped in traditional Chinese medicine, doesn’t it?”
Ruan Meng and Ruan Bin exchanged stunned glances. They hadn’t anticipated such high praise for Gu Jin from the seasoned doctor.
Even Old Master Ruan, taken aback, lifted his gaze with a hint of astonishment.
Sensing the disturbance, Gu Jin shot a quiet glance at the old Chinese doctor. “Please, keep it down.”
The doctor, realizing his intrusion, nodded hastily in apology. “Of course, my apologies.”
He observed silently, growing increasingly intrigued with each passing moment.
As Ruan Meng lacked knowledge of Chinese medicine and acupuncture, she relied on the elderly doctor’s reactions to gauge the situation. Seeing his growing agitation, she couldn’t suppress her rising concern. Tentatively, she inquired, “Doctor, is everything all right with my grandfather? Is there a concern?”
Observing Gu Jin’s silence, the old Chinese doctor contained his excitement and whispered, “No cause for concern! It’s just my excitement getting the best of me. It’s rare to encounter such a young practitioner proficient in acupuncture. I’m quite stirred up.”
“My own disciple from a long line of Chinese medicine practitioners pales in comparison to this young lady! And her acupuncture technique is truly remarkable! I’ve dedicated most of my life to studying acupuncture, yet I never imagined it could address rheumatism so effectively…”
Ruan Meng and Ruan Bin were taken aback by the doctor’s lavish praise for Gu Jin. Their feelings were complex, but they breathed a collective sigh of relief nonetheless.
Meanwhile, Old Master Ruan reclined in his chair, his eyes closed in contentment. Yes, his granddaughter was truly exceptional.
After concluding the acupuncture session, Gu Jin sterilized the needles and imparted some post-treatment instructions to Old Master Ruan before taking her leave.
The old Chinese doctor caught up with her, unashamed to seek guidance from the young practitioner.
Gu Jin graciously answered his queries.
The doctor couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.
Ruan Bin and Ruan Meng were perplexed. Weren’t Chinese physicians supposed to grow more proficient with age? They had sought out the most seasoned hospital in Jin City, so why were they turning to Gu Jin for guidance?
