Chapter 805: Telling Gu Man’s Identity
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Many memories flashed through Gu Man’s mind. She quickly retracted her hand and collected the scattered tarot cards into the box.
These sudden memories did not surprise Gu Man, because a similar situation had happened before.
However, to Gu Man’s surprise, after she came into contact with the tarot cards, the spiritual power in her body actually increased significantly.
She frowned and felt the spiritual energy in her body. It was not empty. The spiritual energy seemed to be innate to her.
Gu Man cleaned up the things in front of her and returned to the Cui Family. Since she had sufficient spiritual energy, treating Old Master Cui’s illness was not a problem.
Moreover, with Cui Lin’s top-notch herbs, Old Master Cui’s physique was enough to withstand the treatment process.
When Gu Man arrived at the Cui Family, Jia Ling and Cui Hong were sitting beside Old Master Cui.
When Jia Ling saw Gu Man, she couldn’t help but complain, “You said that you wanted to take care of Old Master Cui, but I haven’t seen him for the past few days.”
Cui Hong frowned when he heard this and pulled Jia Ling.
In the end, Jia Ling was unwilling to shake off Cui Hong. “I’m telling the truth. You’re not even letting me tell the truth?”
Cui Hong’s expression turned even worse. He looked at Gu Man apologetically and left with Jia Ling.
Gu Man looked at the closed door and locked it. She came to Old Master Cui’s side for treatment.
The treatment process was basically the same as when she treated Guo Guo, so it was very smooth and she did not encounter too many problems.
Cui Hong, who was outside the door, pulled Jia Ling to the study.
Jia Ling tried to break free from Cui Hong’s hand repeatedly, but she failed. She could not help but shout. These shouts were heard by Cui Ya and Cui Xuan, who were about to escape secretly.
Cui Ya stood in the middle of the study and was a little flustered. She grabbed Cui Xuan, who was beside her, and said, “What should we do? If Dad finds out that we sneaked out, he will definitely be punished.”
Cui Xuan bit her lower lip and looked around. In the end, she locked onto the direction of the cabinet and jogged over with Cui Ya.
The reason why the two of them appeared in the study was that they had been locked in their room, and their room was the closest to the study. Going out from the study was the only way for them to go out.
However, they did not expect to encounter Cui Hong and Jia Ling who had returned just as they were planning to leave. They could only hide for the time being.
After arriving at the study, Cui Hong suddenly closed the door. “I’ve already reminded you a few times. Do you have to ignore my words?”
“What’s wrong? Wasn’t I telling the truth? I told you that she couldn’t even say two or three sentences. Why are you so protective of Gu Man now? Could it be that the two of you…” Jia Ling’s eyes widened in disbelief as she grabbed Cui Hong’s wrist tightly.
Cui Hong heard the slander in Jia Ling’s mouth, he couldn’t control himself and slapped her. “Enough. Dad didn’t want me to tell you the truth because he was afraid that you would cause trouble, but I have no choice but to tell you now.”
Before Jia Ling could hold her cheek and complain, she heard Cui Hong’s words. The doubts in her heart were greater than anger. “You’re still hiding something from me?”
“You know that I have an elder sister, right? She’s my elder sister’s only daughter, which means that she’s my niece.” Cui Hong could not help but tell Jia Ling this fact.
Jia Ling was in disbelief. She stood rooted to the ground for a long time without reacting. She moved her lips and was about to speak when there was a sound from the cabinet beside her. Their gazes instantly shifted to the cabinet.
Cui Hong questioned sternly, “Who’s there?”
Cui Ya and Cui Xuan did not expect to hear such a big thing at all. For a moment, their emotions were complicated. They did not hate Gu Man, but they definitely did not like her.
“Who’s there? Come out quickly. Don’t wait for me to go over.” Cui Hong raised his voice. He stared fixedly in the direction of the bookcase and frowned.
He did not expect there to be someone else in the study. Then wouldn’t they have heard what he had just said?
Cui Ya and Cui Xuan looked at each other and knew that they had to go out even if they did not want to. They could only push open the cabinet door in front of them and walk out..
