Chapter 880: Gu Jin Is Unfilial

Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Shuxue approached and gently took Old Madam Gu’s arm.

Instantly, Old Madam Gu felt reassured. “Shuxue is so filial. She promptly invited Doctor Ye over. Unlike some people who only know how to shirk their responsibilities.”

Gu Shuxue smiled, glancing at Ye Qingzi. “Sister Qingzi, I entrust this to you.”

Gu Zhao’an added, “Miss Ye, we’re grateful.”

Ye Qingzi, clad in a white coat and mask, faced their earnest gazes, feeling a sense of pride inwardly but maintaining a composed demeanor.

Glancing at Gu Jin, she thought of Xiao Yize and Gu Jin’s bond.

Proud of her skills, Ye Qingzi spoke coolly, “I can only perform three surgeries a week at most. Including Old Master Gu’s would make it the fourth.”

The First Elder approached, reassuring her, “Don’t worry, Miss Ye. If you can help our old master wake up safely, the Gu family will be indebted to you.”

Ye Qingzi smiled faintly. “There’s no need for thanks. I stepped out of the lab for Shuxue’s sake.”

“However, I still have a lot of work in the lab, and I haven’t hired a cleaner. I’ve heard that Gu Jin also knows a bit about medicine. If she could come to the lab and assist me for a few days, it would be greatly helpful.”

Gu Yang frowned.

What did she mean by asking Gu Jin to help in the lab for a few days? It seemed like Ye Qingzi was trying to take advantage of her sister and treat her like a servant.

Gu Pei rolled his eyes. “Seriously? Is there really someone who can’t even afford a cleaning lady?”

If his parents hadn’t instructed him to keep Godly Doctor Gu Jin’s identity a secret, he would have gladly helped Gu Jin put Ye Qingzi in her place!

Ye Qingzi smiled and turned to Gu Jin. “So, Gu Jin, are you willing to help?”

It was clear that Ye Qingzi was exploiting the situation to make things difficult for Gu Jin. The elders frowned unhappily.

However, given Ye Qingzi’s special status, they couldn’t force her.

Gu Shuxue intervened, “Cousin Gu Jin, not everyone gets the chance to enter Sister Qingzi’s lab. She’s offering you an opportunity to learn.”

Ruan Xueling shielded Gu Jin and asked Gu Shuxue with a smile, “Why wouldn’t you take such a great opportunity? Shuxue, I remember you studied medicine too, right? Wouldn’t you be a more suitable assistant for Miss Ye?”

If Gu Shuxue were to be Ye Qingzi’s assistant, she would have been more than willing. However, it was clear that Ye Qingzi intended for Gu Jin to serve as little more than a cleaner, and Gu Shuxue wasn’t about to rush into such a role.

Gu Shuxue replied, “Eldest Aunt, surely you jest. Sister Qingzi has chosen Cousin Gu Jin. I can’t interfere with her decision.”

Old Madam Gu’s tone turned cold. “Gu Jin, I’m not asking you to match Shuxue’s filial piety. But now, when it comes to saving your grandfather, you’re unwilling to do even this small task. It’s truly disappointing!”

The other elders glanced disapprovingly at Gu Jin.

Underneath her mask, Ye Qingzi’s lips curled slightly.

Today, she was the victor no matter the outcome.

If Gu Jin consented, she could thoroughly humiliate her and release her pent-up frustrations.

If Gu Jin refused, by tomorrow, the entire wealthy circle in the capital would know that Gu Jin was unfilial and indifferent to her grandfather’s life!

Then, they would see if the Xiao family would still approve of her relationship with Xiao Yize.

At that moment, Old Master Gu was wheeled into the operating room.

“Miss Gu, please consider carefully. If you truly refuse, I won’t press the matter due to Shuxue’s sake. Old Master Gu’s life is the priority. I’ll proceed with the surgery now.”

Ye Qingzi left a message and went to change her clothes before entering the operating room.

However, she came out not long after.
