Divine Doctor, Sweet Wife

Chapter 379: The Arrival of Old Master Mo (1)

Gu Qingyao placed the cake down and headed to prepare lunch.

She did not care how Zhou Ping treated her but she felt sorry that Third Brother clearly suffered. This was not the time to lose her temper.

Yet, when she turned around, Gu Jinlin tugged her and said, “It’s fine. I’ll just fill my stomach with this. It’s dinner time soon. We can eat together then.”

It was already three in the afternoon and indeed, dinner was in another hour or two.

Zhou Ping put on an attitude and shut her door with a loud bang.

Ji Mingyue was a little awkward. “Uh... Yao Yao, you must let me know if there’s any news from Mo Beihan and my brother! I am very worried...”

Gu Qingyao took a deep breath and smiled. “Rest assured. I will definitely tell you if there’s news. Don’t worry too much. I believe they know what they’re doing and that they won’t do anything that they have no confidence in. This incident has already happened and even if we can’t resist them, there should still be a way out.”

Ji Mingyue did not know what to say.

Gu Jinlin suddenly chimed in, “The both of you don’t need to worry. We know well what we are doing. The Zhang family will not touch you two ladies for now as their attention is currently on us.”

Ji Mingyue was taken aback.

Gu Qingyao asked, “What did you all do? I was still talking about how the Zhang family’s actions are a little strange as it doesn’t make sense for them to strike at the Ji and Gu family so quickly.”

Gu Jinlin chuckled. “Of course it doesn’t. But Mo Beihan and Ji Mingzhe pulled some tricks, thus they’re keeping watch on us and putting you two ladies aside for the time being.

“Actually, this incident started just because Zhang Qiang stirred up trouble. He pestered Ji Mingyue from the start but he was not very overboard that time as she had the protection of the Ji family and Zhang Qiang dared not cross the line all this while. However, this time, Ji Mingzhe said that they cannot let this go on and wanted to resolve it immediately otherwise his sister would get into trouble.

“Mo Beihan also could not bear that Zhang Qiang had such thoughts of you and thus simply decided to fight back ruthlessly. To protect the both of you, they attracted their attention to the interest of the family clan.

“Currently, the Zhang family will only focus all their attention on dealing with us working men since it is more profitable to do so. When all of us have fallen, the both of you will only be left to be taken advantage of.”

Ji Mingyue was rather nervous. “What... what about in the future? Is the Zhang family really going to get rid of you all one by one? Won’t both our families be over then? My... my brothers seem to have encountered trouble recently as well!”

Gu Jinlin chuckled. “It is only through this way can we delay the Zhang family’s actions and ensure both of your safety for the time being. As for the remaining...”

Gu Jinlin shrugged. “Mo Beihan said that we will all be fine in the end and told us to wait first. I think that he probably went to settle this matter.”

“Where did he go then?” Ji Mingyue pursued anxiously.

Gu Jinlin shook his head. “I don’t know.”

After Ji Mingyue returned, Gu Jinlin went to rest as he was exhausted after a day of labour and skipping lunch.

Zhou Ping remained in her room the entire time. The two kids did not enter the room to disturb Gu Jinlin’s rest and stayed in the living room with Gu Qingyao.

Dinner was made by Gu Qingyao. Gu Jinlin got up to eat while Zhou Ping continued staying in her room.

Gu Jinlin called her twice only for her to reply in a nasty tone that she was not eating. Afterward, Gu Jinlin let her be.

They kept the dishes immediately after eating.

Zhou Ping had been waiting in her room for a long time but no one brought her food. Just as she was about to lash out, Gu Yundong returned and she instantly lost the guts to get angry at the sight of her husband.

However, she was still very indignant that people made things difficult for Gu Jinlin.
