Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 50: Chapter 27 In My Name_2

Xiao Cui and Han Qiu simultaneously bowed their heads, and Uncle Song’s body swayed, but he managed to steady himself.

However, Hu Yihai and Hu Tiandong were both stunned.

The reaction of Gu Changsheng exceeded their expectations by far…

It made them temporarily forget how they should respond.

While they were dazed, Gu Changsheng did not idle; her voice was cool as she spoke again, “Ah, this world, there is no shortage of people who love to meddle in other’s affairs, little do they know that even drinking cold water may cause a toothache, and eating radishes can also choke you…”

Hu Tiandong came to his senses, his face turning from black to purple to red, looking like a palette.

Hu Yihai saw his son about to charge forward again and grabbed him, giving him a fierce look.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng shrugged her shoulders; their ability to retaliate was too weak, not on the same level at all, utterly unfulfilling.

Hu Yihai, recognizing this, also knew Gu Changsheng was not easy to handle. However, his uncle had coveted that medical book for a long time, and he was determined to obtain it on this trip. Thinking this, he no longer tangled with her and stepped forward, saying, “My lady, there is no need for such direct confrontation. Hu has come with intentions that I presume the lady is already aware of.”

Gu Changsheng glanced at him and shook her head indifferently, regretfully saying, “It’s a pity Changsheng is not an intestinal worm in Doctor Hu’s stomach, unaware of the twists and turns inside. Doctor Hu’s intentions, Changsheng truly does not know.”

Knowing yet pretending not to know, what can you do to me?

“Didn’t Uncle Song tell you?” Hu Yihai disbelieved, looking towards Uncle Song.

Uncle Song, of course, stood still, showing no reaction.

Gu Changsheng scratched her head in annoyance, “Uncle Song seems to have said something, unfortunately, Changsheng has just returned home from a long journey, exhausted in body and mind, and didn’t quite catch it clearly…”

“You! Don’t make me switch from offering toast to pouring penalties!” Hu Tiandong inserted a sentence in frustration, but retreated under Hu Yihai’s gaze.

Gu Changsheng completely ignored his attempt to make his presence felt!

“Alright, I’m also tired. As the saying goes, honest people do not speak in riddles. Doctor Hu, please speak straightforwardly about your true intentions here. I’m too lazy to play this charade with you!”

Just a moment ago, who was pretending not to know? Now she was clearly becoming impatient!

Hu Yihai was also seething inside, but, remembering the purpose of his visit, he could only hold back temporarily before speaking, “Since my lady says so, then Hu will speak frankly. May I ask if the medical book from your dowry is still with you?”

“What medical book?” Gu Changsheng replied succinctly.

“The medical book written by Elder Gu before his demise.”

“If it is, what then? If it isn’t, what should be done?” Gu Changsheng stood her ground.

“If it is here, please hand it over; if not, please find it,” Hu Yihai replied firmly.

“Doctor Hu must be joking. Since it’s my dowry, what does it have to do with Doctor Hu? And what right does Doctor Hu have to demand it?” Gu Changsheng sneered, turning her head away from him, his face too damn greedy.

“Because I am a Doctor, and Elder Gu once stated that this book, once completed, was meant to benefit all the doctors in the world, not just for the lady herself.”

“Who can attest to that?”

“All the doctors in Liuzhou City can bear witness!”

Gu Changsheng suddenly laughed, and the laughter was not soft at all, baffling Hu Yihai and his son completely.

The laughter lasted for quite some time before stopping. Gu Changsheng pointed at Hu Yihai with a roguish expression, “Doctor Hu, do you think because Changsheng is young, you can treat me like a three-year-old? My grandfather’s medical book, for which he exhausted his heart’s blood to write, should not remain by my side but rather benefit you? This statement, do you believe it? I certainly do not.”

He also did not believe it at first! Hu Yihai thought to himself, though his face showed nothing.

“However, Elder Gu indeed had made a previous statement, and I, Hu, have said all the doctors in Liuzhou City can testify to it.”

“If so, do you dare to bring the witnesses to confront me face to face?” Gu Changsheng sighed faintly as if it mattered little to him and stepped back.

“Whether I dare or not, what difference does it make?” Hu Yihai repeated Gu Changsheng’s earlier words.

Gu Changsheng gave him a look as if he was teachable, but his expression suddenly turned fierce, “Doctor Hu, if you dare, and it is indeed confirmed what my grandfather had said, Changsheng will surely present the medical books and prescriptions to you with both hands. If you do not dare, Doctor Hu, even if I have to burn those prescriptions, I will not let them fall into your hands. Do you understand?”

“Are the medical books and prescriptions indeed in your hands?” Hu Yihai was startled at his words.

“Of course!” Gu Changsheng replied without hesitation.

“Lady White, do you know that a dead fish and a torn net might not be the best result?” Hu Yihai persisted with a concealed plea, not wanting his selfish motives to be known by all.

“Clearly, Changsheng does not think so, especially when this fish is relatively important to Doctor Hu. If the fish dies, Doctor Hu’s wishful thinking might just fall through…” Gu Changsheng finished speaking and shook his head with a bit of regret, advising, “Doctor Hu, you better think it through again. Changsheng merely seeks clarity; if Doctor Hu insists on refusal, then there is nothing Changsheng can do.”

Having said that, Gu Changsheng did not linger and stood up to leave.

“Lady, please wait!”

As she expected, Hu Yihai called out to her.

Gu Changsheng turned back without disappointing him, “Doctor Hu, do you have any further advice?”

“If it is truly proven that Elder Gu once said those words, are you really willing to hand over the medical books and prescriptions with both hands?” Hu Yihai asked solemnly, trembling his mustache.

“By my name, I swear it shall be as I have said.” Gu Changsheng looked at him directly, speaking each word clearly and decisively, with great resonance.

“Good! As you wish, tomorrow I will bring the witnesses,” Hu Yihai said.

“Changsheng is not one to blindly trust the word of one person, as you must understand, Doctor Hu.”

If you were really that easy to deceive, would I have to go to such lengths? Hu Yihai suppressed the fury welling up in his chest and begrudgingly accepted, “Doctor Hu surely understands your meaning, Lady.”

Then, Gu Changsheng laughed, turned around while laughing, and said, “It is indeed very good, very good that Doctor Hu understands…”

As the sound faded, he had already disappeared through the back door of the medical hall.

“Lady, do you really intend to…” Xiao Cui followed behind Gu Changsheng, hesitantly speaking out.

But Gu Changsheng interrupted with a wave of her hand, “I have no intentions at all.”

“But Lady, you just took an oath? Isn’t this going to offend Doctor Hu thoroughly?” Xiao Cui asked with a worried expression.

“Xiao Cui, some people are destined not to be friends, some are destined to be enemies. Whether you want it or not, nothing can change that.”

And she, towards her enemies, was never merciful, because even if she were merciful, the enemies would not spare her!
