The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 794: Chapter 776: I’m Not a Slut 87

Xiao Yuan’s level of expertise was crystal clear to Anning.

Not to mention his superb medical skills in ancient times; in modern society, he had repeatedly conducted medical research, excelling in both Western and Traditional Chinese Medicine—truly unparalleled in the world.

When he said that Ge Yangkun would be fine, it was certain that nothing would go wrong.

However, while Anning trusted Xiao Yuan, others did not.

After Anning and Xiao Yuan left, Gu Miao finally found cause to slander Anning.

She sneered: ”Hah, isn’t this cursing someone? Ge Yangkun just drank too much; he’s so young, what could possibly happen to him? Yet Anning’s boyfriend scares people like that. Do they even act like normal people?”

As she spoke, several others echoed her sentiment.

But Ge Yangkun did not listen to Gu Miao.

He had felt something when Xiao Yuan was administering acupuncture. His intuition didn’t lie; he knew Xiao Yuan’s medical skills were genuine, truly remarkable.

Besides, Ge Yangkun wasn’t a fool.

He was high school classmates with Anning, in the same class for three years at that.

He also knew about Anning’s family.

Anning’s father came from a rural background with little formal education, working in N City and getting lucky with purchasing an old house, which is why they stayed. Her family was not well-off, having another sister and a younger one; their lives were far from comfortable—especially compared to most of their classmates, Anning’s family could be considered somewhat poor.

Ge Yangkun also knew that Anning had gone to university and later pursued postgraduate studies, having only graduated two years ago. Why would someone like President Gu give face to a girl who had only graduated two years ago and came from a poor family by coming over to talk to her personally?

It wasn’t like President Gu fancied Anning for her beauty.

Would a man like President Gu do such a thing just because a lady was beautiful?

Certainly not.

Without any benefit, why would he be so enthusiastic?

The only thing Anning had that others might want was her boyfriend.

Gu family’s prominence was well-known in N City—running the largest conglomerate, President Gu was the richest man in N City, and even nationwide, a notable figure.

The fact that such a wealthy man sought to connect earnestly with her boyfriend spoke volumes about his medical prowess.

Because Ge Yangkun thought this through, he was undoubtedly frightened.

He was still young; if he really had contracted a serious illness, what would he do then?

Some classmates advised Ge Yangkun, ”Don’t listen to them, they’re just showing off. Look at Anning now... She was so simple in school, but now, huh, she’s become too arrogant.”

Those who talked like that were simply jealous.

Ge Yangkun waved them off and whispered with a few classmates with whom he had a good relationship.

He shared his thoughts with those classmates.

Those classmates, being discerning, agreed with Ge Yangkun.

They were also worried.

One of Ge Yangkun’s close friends said, ”I’ll accompany you to the hospital for a check-up later; it’s always good to be cautious.”

Gu Miao happened to overhear this conversation.

She laughed scornfully: ”Aren’t you guys a bit too cowardly? You believe whatever Anning says, she’s just a...”

Ge Yangkun looked up at Gu Miao with a cold stare.

He now found Gu Miao to be incredibly annoying.

You, Miss Gu, a spoiled Miss, useless in every way, and not a doctor—what right do you have to doubt the words of a physician?

Clearly, Gu Miao’s remarks were directed against Anning; she did not want Anning to garner attention.

Yet, for her selfishness, she completely disregarded the well-being of a classmate.

If what Anning’s boyfriend said was true, wouldn’t Ge Yangkun miss the optimal treatment window by ignoring it and listening to Gu Miao? That would be no different from committing a deadly harm.

”I don’t need Miss Gu to worry about my affairs.”

Ge Yangkun stood up coldly: ”I’m leaving first, we’ll chat in the group later.”

As soon as he left, a few classmates close to him also followed out.

Everyone was worried about Ge Yangkun and wanted to accompany him to the hospital for a check-up.

Because of this, Gu Miao was shaking with anger: ”Fine, all of you leave, just leave.”

Anning didn’t eat much at the hotel and still felt hungry after leaving.

Xiao Yuan found a place to eat something with her before they both went to the lab.

Anning had put some casual clothes here, so she changed first when she arrived.

Xiao Yuan also changed and began his own experiments.

Wei Jiaming and Wei Jiahui left the Xiao Family’s place, and he drove Wei Jiahui to Shen Feng’s.

Mr. Wei was anxiously waiting.

Upon seeing them return, he quickly asked: ”How is it? What did Dr. Xiao say?”

Smiling, Wei Jiaming relayed: ”He said my sister’s illness can be cured, it just needs about six months.”

Wei Jiaming repeated what Xiao Yuan had told him to Mr. Wei, who didn’t find it bothersome at all but was extremely happy.

”As long as it can be cured, that’s good.”

He took the prescription to have a look: ”I’ll handle this. Even if I have to beg everyone, I have to find all these herbs.”

Now that there was a lead, Mr. Wei really couldn’t stay put. He did not linger and immediately booked a flight to Medicine City to find the herbs for Wei Jiahui.

Ge Yangkun and a few classmates went to the hospital for a check-up. He primarily underwent an examination of his stomach, which included an endoscopy—a pretty torturous process. After the ordeal, he turned pale.

But when the results came out, his face turned even paler.

The classmates accompanying him were terrified as well.

None of them had expected that Anning’s boyfriend was telling the truth; Ge Yangkun really had a serious disease—he was only in his twenties and already had stomach cancer.

Ge Yangkun was terrified out of his wits and also felt an unbearable heaviness in his heart.

His life had barely begun, was it already going to end?

One of his classmates was rather savvy and asked the doctor who examined Ge Yangkun: ”Doctor, may I ask if you know Dr. Xiao from Medical University Hospital?”

The doctor laughed upon hearing this: ”Oh, you know Dr. Xiao? He’s quite impressive, trained under Mr. Lu, proficient both in traditional Chinese and Western medicine.”

Hearing this, Ge Yangkun had an idea.

Taking his test results back home, Ge Yangkun did not dare tell his family and went straight to his room to brood.

However, one classmate who accompanied him to the hospital was a gossip who couldn’t keep his mouth shut.

He immediately told everyone in the group chat at home and even praised Xiao Yuan: ”You have to admit, Anning’s boyfriend is amazing. He diagnosed Ge Yangkun’s illness with just a pulse reading, and it turned out to be exactly as he said, Ge Yangkun went to the hospital for a check-up in the afternoon...”

And just like that, many classmates learned about Ge Yangkun’s stomach cancer.

It so happened that some students’ parents knew Ge Yangkun’s parents.

After that student discussed it with his parents, they called Ge Yangkun’s parents.

By the evening, Ge Yangkun’s father and mother were aware of the situation.

The whole family felt as if the sky had collapsed; his parents cried their eyes out, which was truly heartbreaking to see.

Gu Miao was having a tough time too.

Once it was confirmed that Ge Yangkun really had stomach cancer and the news spread in the group chat, many classmates began cursing Gu Miao.

Everyone thought Gu Miao was too selfish; to break things off with Anning, she had smeared her boyfriend and even discouraged Ge Yangkun from going to the hospital for a check-up. If he had really listened to her, Ge Yangkun might have been delayed to death. Her actions were no different from murder.

The boys weren’t so harsh in their words, but some of the girls were extremely nasty.

Because of this, Gu Miao cried half the night at home.
