The Chief Minister’s Ferocious Wife

252 Are They Real Sisters?

As she spoke, Zhao Chuchu stepped into the inn where Deng Dalin and his son were staying.

The inn’s owner received Zhao Chuchu very politely. “Doctor, you’re here. Have you had breakfast? I’ll get someone to prepare some for you if you haven’t.”

“No need. I came here to reapply medication for my patient.” Zhao Chuchu rejected him.

“Doctor, I’m sure you have time for some food, right? How about I get you something to eat first?”

“Mister, if you want something from me, you should just tell me.”

This wasn’t the first time that Zhao Chuchu had come to this inn. The owner definitely wanted something from her, given his obsequious behavior.

The owner of the inn felt a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and said, “You saw through my intentions, haha. I’ve been married to my wife for many years, but we haven’t had any children. But the other doctors all said that there’s nothing wrong with either of us, so I thought maybe you can help us solve this problem.”

“After I tend to my patient. Oh, right. You know about how I do things, right?”

“Yes, definitely, I’ll abide by your rules. So don’t worry about it, doctor.”

“Okay, in two days, when I come here to reapply medication for Huan’er, bring your wife and wait here for me.”

“Alright, thank you so much, doctor.”

The inn’s owner was very grateful, and his attitude toward Zhao Chuchu became even more respectful.

Deng Dalin had spent the entire time with Huan’er for the past few days. He barely even stepped out of the room.

When he saw Zhao Chuchu walk into the room with her medicine box, he stood up awkwardly and left the room.

She knew that this young girl didn’t behave like the other doctors. If he just stood there and did nothing, he might somehow offend her.

Deng Dalin hoped that Huan’er could recover.

While Zhao Chuchu was reapplying medication for Huan’er, she asked, “Did anyone come and ask you and your dad about anything?”

“Not for now. What’s wrong?” Huan’er looked toward Zhao Chuchu and asked. “Will curing my face get you into trouble?”

“No, it’s because I want to become successful. I want other people to know about me.”

“Sister, I’m sure you’ll be able to do it. You are the most capable person I know.”

Huan’er’s admiration for Zhao Chuchu was evident, and he didn’t try to hide it at all.

On the first day that he met Zhao Chuchu, his face hurt so much that he couldn’t sleep at night. But after that, Huan’er could feel his face getting better every day.

“Close your eyes,” Zhao Chuchu said, taking off the gauze and reapplying the medicinal ointment for the boy.

The reason Huan’er recovered so fast was that Zhao Chuchu had been using her healing superpowers on him every single day. Otherwise, it would take him at least a few months to recover.

“If anyone asks you about me, tell them that I am an orphan from Mingan Province. I came to Guangqing Province to look for my long-lost relatives. However, those relatives have already left Guangqing Province, which is why I’m temporarily staying with the Yuan clan.”

“Okay, I got it.” Huan’er nodded.

He sincerely hoped that Zhao Chuchu could help him find his sister.

But he was very well-behaved and never mentioned this in front of Zhao Chuchu.

But he was a child, after all, and didn’t know how to hide his thoughts and emotions. Zhao Chuchu could immediately tell what he was thinking.

Zhao Chuchu was certain that Xi’er was already dead, but she didn’t tell Deng Dalin and Huan’er about it. She was afraid that they wouldn’t be able to take such disastrous news. If they did anything stupid, she would have wasted her efforts saving them.

“Huan’er, remember, whatever happens, we need to look forward and not live in the past. That’s the only way for us to grow, mature, and become stronger.”

“Sister, don’t worry. I’m not afraid of having scars on my face. You spent so much effort saving my life. I must cherish my life to be worthy of your efforts.”

Zhao Chuchu smiled and rubbed his head. Then she said, “Yup, that’s right. I’m done reapplying the medicine. I still have other things to do, so I’ll leave first. You stay here and listen to your father.”

“Yup, I will,” Huan’er answered.

Zhao Chuchu smiled, then packed up her medicine box and opened the door to leave.

Deng Dalin bowed at Zhao Chuchu. Zhao Chuchu nodded, then walked past him and went downstairs.

The owner of the inn was already standing there and waiting for her.

He saw with his own eyes how Zhao Chuchu managed to improve Deng Dalin and Huan’er’s conditions within a few short days. This was what drove him to ask Zhao Chuchu to treat him and his wife.

After all, at his age, most people would want children.

“Doctor, take care.” Then, the owner of the inn personally walked Zhao Chuchu to the door.

“There’s no need to send me off; goodbye.” Zhao Chuchu stopped the inn owner.

At the same time, a woman just happened to walk into the inn. When she saw Zhao Chuchu, she raised her eyebrows and asked, “Brother-in-law, who is this woman?”

Zhao Chuchu looked toward where the sound came from. The woman was dressed in very bright and flamboyant clothes. Although Zhao Chuchu didn’t have a habit of judging people by their looks, she still felt like she had just seen one of those prostitutes standing on the streetside and trying to solicit men to come into the brothel.

“My sister had been managing everything at home for you. How can you have another woman outside? Do you think you’re worthy of my sister like this?” The woman sounded like she was condemning the owner of the inn, but her tone sounded oddly jealous.

Obviously, her real question was, why couldn’t the inn owner’s mistress be her?

“She’s just a doctor. What nonsense are you talking about? Can you not make a fool of yourself and me?” the inn owner said impatiently. “Although I’ve told you so many times, if you want to meet your sister, just go there yourself. Don’t come to the inn and wait for me to go with you. People are going to misunderstand.”

Zhao Chuchu was speechless.

Were they really sisters?

Could her attempt to seduce her brother-in-law be any more obvious?

And based on what the inn owner said, she continued to do this after being rejected several times.

Zhao Chuchu couldn’t help but feel sorry for the inn owner’s wife. How did she get such a scourge of a sister?

“What doctor? No proper girl would expose themself and become a doctor! Touching men’s hands all day? I think she’s just trying to seduce other men in the name of treating them!” The woman sneered.

A dangerous smile appeared on Zhao Chuchu’s face as she said, “Well then, madam, should I tell everyone about the illness that you don’t dare to mention? If you would like to hear it, I will say it out loud. Otherwise, I want you to apologize for what you just said!”

There weren’t many people in the inn then, but a few guests were sitting in the main lobby and eating.

Whatever the woman said just now had already attracted a lot of strange looks, but Zhao Chuchu’s words were even more shocking.

Not only were the guests stunned, but the woman’s expression also changed drastically because Zhao Chuchu struck right at her pain point.

A certain part of her body had an unbearable itch, which often caused her to wake up in the middle of the night. She had been suffering greatly from it.

But because of how embarrassing it was, she didn’t dare see a doctor. She simply forced herself to endure every day and didn’t dare to tell other people either. So naturally, she was horrified when Zhao Chuchu pointed it out.

If Zhao Chuchu said it aloud, she would be too ashamed to live.

“What nonsense are you talking about? You didn’t measure my pulse, and you’re spouting all this crap. Absolutely ridiculous! You better apologize, or I won’t let you off easily!”

“You would know whether I was telling lies. I’m sure you’ve had a hard time at night, right? The itch must be killing you, is it not?”

“Shut up! Don’t you dare spout any more nonsense!”

The woman was so mad that she was quivering.

Zhao Chuchu smiled and said, “I dare you not to apologize.”

She wouldn’t try to reason with women like her.

She decided to target Zhao Chuchu out of nowhere. So why should Zhao Chuchu give in?

Absolutely no way!

“You, you…”
