The Sweetest Medicine

Zhu Yulu looked at her helplessly and dotingly, “You should trust in Elder Huang.”

She didn’t believe in Yu Gangan either.

After all, her daughter and this woman were love rivals. Who knew if she would play any tricks.

But, she believed in Elder Huang.

Elder Huang was famous in the capital. He would never sacrifice his reputation just to help this young woman vent her anger. If word got out, he would lose everything.

Zhu Yulu glanced at Yu Gangan and smiled gracefully at Elder Huang, “Elder Huang, I’m really sorry, my daughter got injured so she has been a little grumpy. Please forgive her rudeness and don’t be mad. I hope you can tolerate any wrongdoings.”

Gu Chen had been in the business world for a long time so he was smooth at handling matters. With a smile, he said to Elder Huang, “Elder Huang, this way please.”

Elder Huang was an understanding person. So, even though the other party was unreasonable, they were ultimately still his patient.

He stopped leaving and returned to sit down while Yu Gangan followed with his medicine chest. From beginning to end, she did not say a word.

While Elder Huang was writing a prescription, Gu Chen answered a phone call and stepped out.

He then handed the script to Zhu Yulu, “This is for internal and external use, and will be used in conjunction with acupuncture.”

“Thank you, Elder Huang.”

“You’re welcome.”

After speaking, he looked at Yu Gangan and motioned for her to step forward.

Daily consultations required a high degree of concentration. Elder Huang was getting old, so when he wasn’t applying acupuncture for a difficult illness, he usually got his students to apply the needles in his stead.

Yu Gangan was Elder Huang’s assistant today, so she naturally took over the job.

But, as soon as she saw the needle in Yu Gangan’s hand, Gu Shuling was startled.

Her face turned pale and she said in a panic, “Why are you applying the needles. I don’t want you to apply the needles.”

If Yu Gangan did it, she could make things worse! She opened her eyes wide and said to Elder Huang, “Aren’t you treating me? Why is she doing the work?”

Zhu Yulu naturally didn’t believe Yu Gangan either. So, she smiled and said, “Elder Huang, this poison is a bit serious. Why don’t you do it instead.”

“Xiao Yu may be young, but she holds a practitioner’s license and has many years of experience. I’m getting old and my eyesight isn’t good. Xiao Yu has applied acupuncture for Mr. Jiang in the past, her skills aren’t any worse than mine. You can trust her 100%.”

Elder Huang was unaware of the grudge between Gu Shuling and Yu Gangan.

He simply thought they were complaining about her age, so he gave them a 100% guarantee and told Yu Gangan to continue.

Yu Gangan didn’t want to apply acupuncture for Gu Shuling either.

But, since Elder Huang asked for help, she wasn’t going to refuse. She pulled out a triangular needle and inserted it into the mouth of Gu Shuling’s wound as per Elder Huang’s instructions.

There was no such thing as acupuncture without pain. One was bound to feel something when a needle pierced through their skin. But, Gu Shuling’s reaction was particularly big.

Yu Gangan felt she was being very gentle, but Gu Shuling ended up screaming, “Ah!!”

The sudden ear-piercing sound made Yu Gangan jump in fright, almost losing control of her needle.

Gu Shuling looked at Yu Gangan in horror, like she was staring at a monstrously wicked criminal, and complained angrily, “You did it on purpose! Are you trying to harm me or kill me?!”

She then pulled out the needle Yu Gangan had inserted and threw it at Yu Gangan’s face.

Yu Gangan quickly dodged, but because she was in a half-kneeling position, she lost her balance and sat back on the floor.

Elder Huang was shocked as he immediately went to support her, “Xiao Yu, are you OK?”
