Chapter 30: Reason
Ji Yao was also taken off in an ambulance. However, after she left, peace returned to the group, and the subsequent content of the show was very ordinary.
And the old man that Lin Xue and An Yang were in charge of was called Wang Lin. Originally, he looked down on people from the countryside the most, but after coming into contact with An Yang and Lin Xue, he liked these two children very much. Furthermore, An Yang and Lin Xue were both very eager to learn, and also expressed great interest in some of his past feats that Wang Lin had told them about. They could even draw inferences from his tales, which greatly satisfied Wang Lin’s vanity. Thus, he praised the two of them greatly in front of the production team.
Gu Xiao was still very stunned by Grandma Jin’s actions. After all, she had directly wounded Ji Yao.
However, Gu Xiao did not feel the slightest bit of sympathy for Ji Yao. She deserved it. The second before she fainted, she was still venting her anger on Gu Xiao, not even thinking about what she herself had done.
“Grandma Jin, don’t be angry.” Gu Xiao held onto Grandma Jin’s hand, and said in a spoiled manner.
“My son is a narcotics officer,” Grandma Jin said with a sigh. “When he wanted to join this field, our whole family didn’t agree, because it was really too dangerous. But he didn’t listen, and ultimately became a narcotics officer, and three years ago, in the process of apprehending a criminal, his eyes were injured, and from then onwards, he could no longer see.”
“Grandmother…” Gu Xiao wanted to comfort her, but did not know what she should say.
“After that, we brought him to seek treatment everywhere, but all the doctors said that they did not know how to treat him. Afterwards, we heard that there was a doctor that could perform this operation, but he was no longer a doctor now. We searched for that doctor for a very long time, but were still unable to find him. That was until Ji Yao told us that they had the contact information of that doctor, and even called that doctor, promising to perform the operation on my son as long as I can make you guys embarrass yourselves.”
“I never thought that they would actually go so far.” Gu Xiao gripped the hem of her skirt tightly.
“However, how do you know that doctor is the one we told you about?” Chu An asked. 𝘣𝑒𝘥𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝑙．𝘤𝘰𝘮
“The person I called previously was a friend of my son’s. He has also been worrying about my son’s eyes for a very long time. When Ji Yao called that doctor, I recorded the conversation. My son’s friend conducted a voice-print comparison, and after investigation, it was the same person as the doctor who could not perform the operation because of a doctor-patient conflict that happened a year ago.”
“Don’t you think it’s strange?” Chu An propped up his chin and pondered for a while.
“En, Chu An, I suddenly feel that this so-called doctor-patient conflict may not be so simple.” Gu Xiao’s frowned deeply, but her frown quickly smoothed. “Grandmother, it’s already quite late. It’s about time for us to go back. See you tomorrow!”
“All right. You guys take care on the way too,” Grandma Jin waved her hand.
“Your son will definitely get better in future!” Gu Xiao looked at Grandma Jin with sparkling eyes, and Grandma Jin couldn’t help but be taken aback.
After returning to the villa.
It was already past four o’clock in the afternoon, and they made some simple food in the villa. They sat around the table and chatted all about their experience of taking care of the elderly today. Among them, Lin Xue and An Yang were the happiest. They felt that after spending some time together, the two of them were close to becoming best friends.
However, as the two of them conversed, they began to talk about their studies, and began to study a physics problem. The two of them each had their own opinions, and because they really couldn’t convince the other, they went to ask Chu An.
Chu An only glanced at the question, and very quickly gave the answer.
Gu Xiaohu lightly tugged at Chu An’s sleeve, leaned close to his ear, and asked, “How are you so good at studying?”
“Natural talent,” Chu An replied, his face filled with pride. It was as if he was saying, “Aren’t I very amazing! Quick, praise me!”
“I have nothing to do now, so why don’t you teach me how to do my homework?” Gu Xiao ran back to her room, took out a stack of exercise books from her schoolbag, laid them out on the table, and began to study.
When Lin Xue and An Yang saw this, they were not willing to be outdone either, and took out their respective assignments as well.
All of a sudden, the show had become a live stream of studying.
[Do they have to work so hard?]
[We are all students, and they are studying, but I am watching them study.]
[The person upstairs, I’ll take my leave first to study.]
Chu An broke down the important points for Gu Xiao, one by one. Gu Xiao wasn’t very talented in studies, but she was especially willing to learn, so she also learnt very quickly.
Meanwhile, Chen Li and Meng Fei seemed to have something on their minds. They simply sat at the table in a daze.
The atmosphere was strangely quiet.
The ‘upstairs’ here doesn’t literally mean upstairs. This is typically used for Internet posts in China, when there are a lot of comments, when a person is referring to the person who has just replied in another comment. Understandably, there would also be a ‘downstairs.
