Chapter 564: Chapter 564 Young Master Gu, Gu Jing
So, Qiao Yin changed her tone this time, resolutely rejecting Old Sir Gu: “Rather than serving as a private doctor, I would rather continue my work here in the hospital. I want to save more people. Besides, there are vegetative patients here that I have been persistently treating. I hope to awaken them.”
Old Sir Gu was somewhat surprised: “Your temperament doesn’t resemble your mother’s. She was gentle and seldom turned people down. You, on the other hand, are straightforward and more decisive than she was!”
Qiao Yin knew she wasn’t exactly like her mother in temperament. She thought it might be due to the differences in the experiences they had.
Her mother’s brutal murder during her childhood left a lasting shadow in her heart. Unlike her mother, she didn’t believe the world was a beautiful place or that people were inherently good.
She felt that the world was full of malice and many people were not kind-hearted.
She was more selfish than her mother.
However, since she had finally met someone who knew her mother, Qiao Yin couldn’t help speaking with him: “Old man, how long did my mother serve as your private doctor?”
“Over half a year, I suppose!”
Old Sir Gu looked at her face, which was similar to her mother’s, and sighed nostalgically: “So many years have passed. I never thought I would meet Shen Tang’s daughter again.”
“At that time, she was about your age now, I believe?”
“She was so beautiful and young. Initially, I didn’t trust her abilities to treat my leg.”
“But at that point, I had seen many renowned doctors who said there was no cure. In desperation, I allowed her to perform acupuncture on me.”
“Much to my surprise, she actually helped me to stand up again!”
“She was so talented at such a young age. I didn’t want to let her go and after much persuasion, she finally agreed to stay at the Gu’s residence and become my private doctor.”
“However, after my leg healed, she insisted on leaving the Gu’s residence. No matter what I said, she was determined to leave, so I had to let her go.”
As Qiao Yin listened to him sporadically recounting the past, she felt a pang of sadness for her mother.
The Gu Family was one of the four big tycoons in Tianyun City. They were a powerful and wealthy family. Over twenty years ago, Old Sir Gu was the head of the family and held absolute power.
From his words, it seemed he had once forcefully kept her mother there.
Her mother must have had a hard time freeing herself from him!
The so-called aristocratic families were all the same, reckless and unscrupulous.
Qiao Yin had been involved with the Lu family, losing everything and nearly losing her life before she could break free. She had also encountered the madam of the Dongfang Family, who was no easy person to deal with.
She was all too familiar with the treacherous waters of the wealthy families.
So, it would be best for her to keep her distance from the Gu Family.
After another half an hour, Qiao Yin’s acupuncture treatment was finally finished and the donation agreement with Director Song had also been signed.
She then accompanied Director Song in escorting Old Sir Gu out.
Before leaving, Old Sir Gu specifically advised Qiao Yin to visit the Gu family.
However, Qiao Yin declined, citing her busy work schedule.
Two days later, Old Sir Gu came to the hospital again for acupuncture.
This time, it was his grandson, Gu Jing, rather than his son, who accompanied him.
Gu Jing was not keen on accompanying him to the hospital, but the moment he saw Qiao Yin, he was stunned and mumbled: “Is she … a celebrity? She’s so beautiful…”
Qiao Yin didn’t know how to respond to that, knowing that this Young Master Gu was a famous playboy, bearing the same reputation as Dongfang Mu.
As the hospital director, Song Kaiyan felt obligated to show respect for Old Sir Gu, their significant client, and hence stayed with him during the treatment. He knew who Gu Jing was and immediately pitched in to help Qiao Yin navigate the situation : “Young Master Gu, this lady is one of our doctors!”
