Editor: Henyee Translations
A hushed silence fell over everyone from the Gu family at these words. It seemed even Gu Jin was capable of such a feat.
“Jin,” Ruan Xueling whispered, gripping Gu Jin’s hand and shaking her head subtly.
Though Old Master Gu was Jin’s biological grandfather and Gu Zhaoming’s father, their familial sentiments were strained at best.
Since Gu Zhaoming had left home, his ties to the Gu family in the capital had dwindled.
Both Ruan Xueling and Gu Zhaoming were reluctant to reveal Gu Jin’s identity as the renowned Godly Doctor, fearing it would endanger her for the sake of Old Master Gu.
Gu Jin maintained a composed demeanor, then turned to Gu Zhaoming and stated, “Before I arrived, my father contacted the Godly Doctor. He will perform surgery on Grandpa this afternoon.”
Gu Jin had no intention of disclosing her identity as the Godly Doctor to the Gu family or Ye Qingzi, but saving Old Master Gu was paramount, and any credit should rightfully go to the main branch.
This strategy would benefit Gu Zhaoming’s future power grab.
Therefore, Gu Jin decided to conceal her identity and perform surgery on Old Master Gu.
Gu Zhaoming quickly grasped Gu Jin’s intention. He assumed control of the situation immediately. “Exactly. For Father’s safety, I arranged for the Godly Doctor to be here.”
“When I saw Shuxue inviting Doctor Ye earlier, I believed she could handle it. But now, it’s clear we need the Godly Doctor’s direct intervention.”
“The Godly Doctor’s medical expertise is exceptional. She once saved my wife from the brink of death. With her help, Father will surely recover.”
Gu Zhaoming subtly praised Gu Jin while undercutting Ye Qingzi, showcasing his filial devotion.
Old Madam Gu frowned suspiciously and questioned, “Who is this Godly Doctor? Is this person even certified?”
Gu Shuda interjected, “Grandma, Eldest Uncle already confirmed that she’s the renowned Godly Doctor who saved Eldest Aunt’s life before. She’s definitely not a quack.”
Gu Zhao’an frowned, casting a disdainful glance at his clueless son.
Gu Shuzhi, in contrast, appeared surprised. “So it’s that elusive Godly Doctor? I’ve heard they’re skilled in both Chinese and Western medicine, adept at treating all sorts of complex illnesses. If they’re involved, there’s little they can’t cure.”
“However, securing their services comes with a hefty price tag and strict conditions. Cousin Gu Jin, you’ve actually managed to enlist their help!”
Upon hearing praise for his daughter, Gu Zhaoming felt a twinge of pride, though he maintained a composed demeanor. “Impressive. Nephew Shuzhi, your insight remains unparalleled.”
In doing so, he subtly mocked the oblivious Old Madam Gu.
Gu Shuxue, being a medical student, had naturally heard of the legendary Godly Doctor. However, she doubted that the main branch could successfully enlist their help twice.
Gu Shuzhi was astonished. His respect for the eldest branch reached new heights.
The connections of the eldest branch far exceeded his expectations.
The fifth elder spoke with relief, “Indeed, thanks to Zhaoming, we were able to secure the Godly Doctor’s assistance.”
The attitudes of the other elders towards Gu Zhaoming shifted accordingly.
After all, not just anyone could enlist the Godly Doctor’s services.
Ye Qingzi clenched her fists, casting a cold glance at Gu Jin.
She hadn’t missed the exchanged glances between Gu Jin and Gu Zhaoming just now. The reason the main branch of the Gu family could repeatedly enlist the Godly Doctor’s help was undoubtedly due to Gu Jin’s influence over Xiao Yize.
Otherwise, how could they consistently secure the Godly Doctor’s assistance?
Old Madam Gu was unwilling to let the eldest branch steal the spotlight so easily. She remarked sarcastically, “Sure, we’ve brought them here. But who’s to say they can cure him?”
Ye Qingzi felt misunderstood.
Gu Pei was brimming with righteous indignation. “Grandma, shouldn’t we all be hoping for Grandpa’s recovery? How can you speak negatively like this?”
