35: Chapter 35 If you can save Gu Yanchen's mother, I will consider it.
"You... never mind, I'm magnanimous and won't hold a grudge against a young girl like you," Lian Boyu consoled himself. He was still counting on this young girl to hire him, so he couldn't afford to offend her.
Su Yue said, "If you can cure Gu Yanchen's mother, I'll consider it."
If he couldn't save Gu Yanchen's mother, would she hire him just to worship him like a bodhisattva? She wasn't so rich that she had money to burn.
"Then it's a deal."
Since there was a chance to turn things around, he had to seize it.
He turned to Dr. Xia, who was craning his neck behind him to eavesdrop, and said, "Hey, give me the medical records of that... Gu Yanchen's mother."
Dr. Xia resisted, "Why should I give them to you? Madam Gu is my patient."
He also wanted Su Yue to hire him as Madam Gu's family doctor; it would be better than working himself to death at the Hospital for such a small salary.
"If you won't give them to me, that's fine. I'll go to Old Man Mo; I'm sure he'd be happy to."
It didn't matter if he didn't give them to him; he could always find a way to get the medical records.
"You..." Dr. Xia was choked with anger. He flicked his sleeves and said, "Follow me to the office. I'll let you see them."
"I'll be right back. Little girl, you must keep your word, okay?" Lian Boyu walked halfway, then turned back to ask.
"Wait until you've saved Gu Yanchen's mother before we talk."
Having received Su Yue's promise, Lian Boyu followed readily behind Dr. Xia.
Gu Yanchen was jealous, "Baby, why did you agree to him?"
He knew that Lian Boyu had ulterior motives for approaching her, yet she still wanted to keep him by her side.
Su Yue stood on tiptoe and kissed him, saying with a grin, "Alright, don't be angry. It's better to keep a danger by your side than to face an unknown one."
Gu Yanchen knew that Su Yue was doing this for his mother, and he was an idiot for thinking so much about it. But just the thought of another man appearing by her side made him insanely jealous, especially a man with ulterior motives.
A dangerous glint flashed in Gu Yanchen's eyes, "Then Baby, stay away from him. You are not allowed to have any contact with him alone."
"I promise to be obedient!"
Su Yue straightened up and saluted him, which made Gu Yanchen laugh.
"You're not angry anymore?" Seeing him laugh, Su Yue kissed him again.
A smile tugged at the corners of Gu Yanchen's mouth. He had never been angry with Su Yue in the first place; he was just angry with himself.
In the Hospital room, Gu Yanchen looked at the unconscious Mother Gu, his eyes filled with self-reproach. If it weren't to support him, his mother wouldn't have contracted leukemia. He hated the man who had abandoned them even more.
Su Yue placed her hand on his shoulder and comforted him, "A-Yan, someone as good as your mother will surely live a long and healthy life."
Gu Yanchen said with deep affection in his eyes, "Baby, thank you for not giving up on me and my mother, and for being willing to do everything to save her!"
"Oh my, why are you being so sentimental? Your mother is my future mother-in-law, so of course I have to save her!"
"I'm even counting on her to help us take care of our children." Speaking of this, Su Yue lowered her head shyly. Why did she blurt that out?
"Okay." Gu Yanchen felt that the greatest luck of his life was meeting Su Yue.
Lian Boyu came in with the medical records, "I've gone through Mother Gu's medical records from beginning to end. As far as I'm concerned, it's a minor problem."
After he finished speaking, he noticed a murderous glare shooting toward him. He rubbed his nose and asked, "Did I come at a bad time?"
Su Yue rolled her eyes at him, "What do you think?"
Lian Boyu's gossipy nature kicked in, and he asked with a suggestive look, "What are you two planning to do in broad daylight?"
Su Yue said mysteriously, "Have you ever heard a saying?"
"What saying?"
"The Buddha says: It cannot be spoken of!"
Lian Boyu scoffed, "If you don't want to say it, just say so. Don't be all mysterious about it. I thought it was something important!"
Su Yue didn't want to waste too much breath on him and went straight to the point, "You said you could cure his mother's illness?"
Lian Boyu said proudly, "I can!"
"Then can we be discharged from the Hospital today?"
The Hospital was safe for the moment, but Su Yue worried that the longer they stayed, the more dangerous it would become.
Lian Boyu guaranteed, "With me here, it's no problem."
"However, I need to check her physical condition before she can be discharged." Although Lian Boyu had read the medical records, he still needed to examine her himself to be sure.
Their home didn't have all the equipment that the Hospital had to perform a thorough examination.
Su Yue said, "That's fine."
Gu Yanchen remained silent, guarding behind Su Yue, staring at Lian Boyu like a tiger, which made him feel depressed.
Was it really necessary? He was starting to suspect that the man had fallen for him, and quickly shook off that terrifying thought.
"I'll go make arrangements."
After saying that, he ran off without looking back, as if he were being chased by wild beasts.
"A-Yan, stop staring at him like that. Look, you've scared him..."
Su Yue pointed at the fast-running Lian Boyu and laughed heartily.
"Don't worry about him!" Gu Yanchen felt that Su Yue's attention had been stolen by Lian Boyu, so he gently cupped her face and made her look directly at him.
"Baby, you can only have me in your heart. You are not allowed to smile at other men, you are not allowed to look at other men, you are not allowed to..."
Su Yue felt his forehead, "You don't have a fever. Gu Yanchen, how many times have you been jealous today?"
Gu Yanchen held her hand, "Baby, I am very narrow-minded, so narrow that I can only fit you inside!"
Su Yue quickly tried to soothe him, "Alright, I'm doing this for your mother, aren't I? It's so dangerous outside right now, I don't feel safe leaving your mother in the Hospital."
"Don't be angry anymore. I'll make it up to you later."
Su Yue leaned in and whispered in his ear, and Gu Yanchen's eyes lit up significantly upon hearing it.
