On the second day of the banquet, it was also the day that Liu Feng performed the acupuncture on Old Master Gu as promised.
The butler had been waiting at the door for a long time and warmly welcomed her, "Doctor Liu, you're here? Old Master Gu's condition has improved a lot since the last acupuncture. You're indeed the miracle doctor recommended by Professor Xue!"
The butler actively led the way for Liu Feng. After confirming that everything was ready, he quietly left the ward, not daring to disturb Liu Feng's treatment.
However, in less than ten minutes, the Second Miss of the Jiang family actually came.
"Mr. Butler."
Jiang Yue smiled exceptionally sweetly, holding a pastry in her hand."I'm here to see Grandpa Gu. How is he now?"
She wanted to go in but was unexpectedly stopped by the butler.
"Second Miss Jiang, it's not convenient for the Old Master now. Please go back!"
This was the first time Jiang Yue was stopped outside the ward. She had been unimpeded before, so why did Grandpa Gu avoid her this time?
Jiang Yue thought of Grandpa Gu's action of giving Liu Feng a gift yesterday and became even more panicked. She forced a smile."Is Grandpa Gu not doing well? Then I have to go in and take a look. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease at all."
"Second Miss Jiang, please don't make things difficult for me."
The butler revealed a professional smile. His words were tactful, but he did not budge in the slightest when he tried to stop her.
No matter how much Jiang Yue tried to gain favor with him, the butler did not budge. Jiang Yue's heart instantly turned cold, and her tone was choked with sobs.
"Is Grandpa Gu unwilling to see me?"
Old Master Gu had always liked Jiang Yue, so the butler could not offend her too harshly. He could only tell the truth."It's the Third Young Master's idea. He wants Old Master Gu to recuperate carefully because he's still recovering from his illness. He doesn't want outsiders to disturb him."
Jiang Yue felt better after hearing that.
She looked at the ward again unwillingly. Through the narrow gap of the door, Jiang Yue recognized the familiar figure with her sharp eyes. Her eyes widened in shock.
Liu Feng? Why was she here?!
"What about her? How did she get in?!"
Jiang Yue's heart tightened instantly. She asked unwillingly. Her heart was in a panic. Was the Gu family really going to replace her?
The butler lowered his eyes and did not explain Liu Feng's identity. He continued to speak indifferently.
"This is also Third Young Master's intention."
Jiang Yue felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
Jiang Yue returned to the Jiang family absentmindedly. Her eyes were blinded by jealousy and unwillingness. Her eyes were red as she rushed in front of Qin Xi. She sobbed and complained angrily, "It's fake! It's all fake! Liu Feng was simply lying to us!"
"She said she doesn't want to marry into the Gu family, but in fact, she has been secretly contacting the Gu family for a long time!"
"Mom, you have to help me. I want to marry Gu Duo. I have to marry into the Gu family!"
Jiang Yue was sobbing uncontrollably.
Qin Xi's heart ached when she saw this and quickly comforted her."Don't worry, Mom will definitely help you!"
...
Due to the treatment last time, Old Master Gu's condition this time was much better than before.
After Liu Feng finished the acupuncture, she told the butler about the things he needed to pay attention to in his daily care. When she walked out of the hospital, she was greeted by an unexpected figure.
She looked at Gu Duo in astonishment."Why are you here?"
Fate was indeed a narrow road for enemies. They could even meet each other by chance in the hospital.
"I'm here to visit my family."
Gu Duo explained briefly, but he did not want to reveal his identity for the time being. He narrowed his eyes and sized up her delicate and charming features, especially her plump and drooling lips.
"You haven't requested for me for a long time."
His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of resentment.
Liu Feng raised her eyebrows and said with a chuckle, "I've just returned to Jing City, so I have a lot of things to do."
Gu Duo answered in a low voice, his eyes flashing with a charming luster."So, are you hinting at me to show myself more so that you can put me first?"
He took the opportunity to approach Liu Feng, sniffing the charming sweet fragrance."Are you free tomorrow night? Why don't you give me a chance to have dinner with you?"
Liu Feng was almost amused by him, her eyes slightly raised."Sure, let's see your performance."
After successfully meeting someone, the corner of Gu Duo's lips curled into a charming smile. He suddenly paused and said hesitantly, "Do you not like sapphires?"
Otherwise, why would Liu Feng return the gift that he had meticulously prepared?
