Chapter 373: Chapter 372: Joining Forces
After finishing that matter, Gu Tingyu beckoned to the little girl, saying, "Come over and sit."
Yiyi heard him and obediently sat down beside him. The two of them leaned their heads together and whispered for a while, feeling that this peaceful time was incredibly wonderful. Eventually, they read some books together and went to bed early.
However, Gu Tingyu slept on the hospital bed, while Yiyi slept on another companion bed.
Early the next morning, Yiyi got up to get breakfast, and when she returned, she found that Second Uncle Gu’s family had already arrived.
"Second Uncle, have you all had breakfast?"
Gu Yaozhong replied with a smile, "We’ve all eaten. It seems like we came too early and interrupted your breakfast."
Yiyi quickly shook her head with a smile, saying, "Not at all, we just got up a little late today."
Zhuang Caixin, standing to the side, also greeted Yiyi with a smile, and Gu Tingting, standing next to her, also spoke a few words to Yiyi with a smile on her face.
The woman she once looked down upon, this almost sister-in-law, had turned into the most sought-after young lady of the Ding Family. Though she was unwilling, she had to smile and greet her, or her mother would scold her once they got home.
Moreover, everyone knew that Yiyi was not just Old Master Ding’s granddaughter. Old Master Ding had personally changed her surname to Ding, and she might even be the heir to the Ding Family in the future.
Faced with such a Buddha, she dared not offend her again.
Besides Gu Tingting, even Gu Tinghao had come along. He smiled and greeted Yiyi, then asked about Gu Tingyu’s condition.
Gu Tingyu looked at this cousin and said, "Don’t worry, I’m fine, just some flesh wounds. You’ve been busy lately, right? Don’t let it affect your training."
Cousin Gu Tinghao, like him, had joined the organization. It was a crucial time for training, and he didn’t want him to slack off.
Gu Tinghao, hearing this, quickly nodded and said, "Don’t worry, big brother, I’m aware."
Since Gu Tinghao said so, Gu Tingyu didn’t say anything more.
Zhuang Caixin kept chatting with Yiyi, praising her for being gentle and considerate, taking care of Tingyu tirelessly. Finally, she even cut some fruit for them.
"Aunt, let me help."
Zhuang Caixin waved her hand, saying, "Yiyi, it’s almost done, no need for you to do it."
Yiyi insisted for a while, but since Zhuang Caixin had already finished peeling the fruit, she had to give up.
After chatting for a while longer, Second Uncle Gu’s family left.
Yiyi, with a bit of a humorous resignation, said, "Aunt is really too enthusiastic."
Gu Tingyu couldn’t help but say, "Since Aunt is willing, let her be. It’s nice for relatives to be lively and warm."
He naturally knew Aunt’s previous attitude towards Yiyi. Now that Yiyi’s status had changed, Aunt’s attitude had also changed. Since she was willing to be warm, he was happy to see her and his cousin being so welcoming to Yiyi.
Yiyi, hearing this, smiled and said, "Okay."
As she spoke, she handed Gu Tingyu a small plate of fruit.
After Second Uncle Gu’s family came to see Gu Tingyu, quite a few other people came to visit him one after the other. There were people from the Chu family, the Song family, and eventually even Yang Liu and Fang Cheng came to visit.
When Fang Cheng arrived, Yiyi mentioned Leng Yu to him.
"You don’t need to worry about Leng Yu anymore. She has reaped what she sowed and has disappeared from this world along with Medicine Valley forever."
However, thinking about that old poison master, Yiyi’s expression turned somewhat grim.
No one knew where that old poison master had gone, whether he’d perished with Medicine Valley or managed to escape.
He was an uncertain factor.
But this matter had to be put aside for now; the most important thing now was Gu Tingyu’s recovery.
When Fang Cheng heard this, a hint of joy appeared on his face, "Really? Leng Yu is dead? That’s great, that woman caused a lot of harm, and in the end, she brought it upon herself."
Thinking about Leng Yu, he still ground his teeth with anger.
He and Liu’er lacked fate with children somehow. Due to the severe damage to Liu’er’s body, they probably wouldn’t have children.
But he had already come to terms with it, and during this time, he had been reassuring his wife. Fortunately, she had listened and was no longer as obsessed as before.
As for his sister and mother...
Thinking of them, Fang Cheng’s expression became faint. Even without Leng Yu, they still didn’t like Liu’er. Since that’s the case, it’s better to leave things as they are.
After chatting with Yiyi for a while longer, Fang Cheng and Yang Liu left together.
The days spent recovering from illness passed quickly, and by the time Gu Tingyu was about to be discharged, he had already recovered quite a bit.
Seeing Gu Tingyu, Yiyi smiled and said, "You’ve rested well these days. Keep it up in the future."
Gu Tingyu nodded with a smile upon hearing this.
Indeed, he had been very relaxed during this time. It had been a long time since he had rested so well. This time, due to his injury, he had a rare opportunity to rest.
However, what Gu Tingyu didn’t expect was that the next day, he actually saw Fan Qianshu.
Fan Qianshu gave Gu Tingyu a glance, saying, "Let’s sit down and have a proper talk."
Gu Tingyu naturally did not refuse and directly opened the door to let him in.
Yiyi stayed behind to take care of Tingyu, and when she saw Fan Qianshu, she was very surprised but didn’t say anything. After cutting some fruit for the two of them, she left the study.
Fan Qianshu looked at Gu Tingyu in front of him, seemingly wanting to see through him.
Gu Tingyu let Fan Qianshu inspect him without a word, and finally asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Fan Qianshu put down the teacup in his hand, nodded slowly, and said, "Yes, I have something to discuss with you."
"Discuss what?"
"Naturally, it’s about how to uproot Medicine Valley and its forces behind it."
Upon hearing this, Gu Tingyu couldn’t help but turn back to look at Fan Qianshu, only to realize that he was serious, "You... why did you suddenly say this?"
Fan Qianshu shook his head directly and said, "It’s not sudden, but something I’ve thought over carefully. I came here today to ask if you’d like to join forces with me. If we work together, there’s a chance we could topple the person behind it. The question is, are you willing?"
Gu Tingyu thought for a while, then finally looked up at Fan Qianshu and said, "Of course, I’m willing. We’ll join in on this matter together."
"Great, then it’s settled."
Fan Qianshu lifted one hand and gave Gu Tingyu a high-five, "But as for the specifics, we’ll discuss it in detail next time; today, let’s just establish our partnership."
