“Is the meal ready?” Gao Jiaming asked as the nanny came out.
“It’s ready, Mr. Gao.” The nanny nodded in response.
Gao Jiaming turned back and said to Wan Yunting, Gu Luotang, and the others, “Let’s go in to eat first and rest a bit before examining my sister.”
“Alright.”
Gu Luotang nodded, and followed Gao Jiaming into the villa with Wan Yunting and Qi Miaomiao. The nanny led them to the dining room where the table was laden with dishes. Wan Yunting didn’t stand on ceremony, nodded to Gu Luotang, and began to eat…
Although they had something in the car and had eaten a little on the way, everyone was hungry. They ate quietly without much conversation…
Just then, the automatic gates of the courtyard opened slowly. Two nannies and three security guards went out to greet them. A Rolls-Royce, followed by a Ferrari sports car, drove in slowly. Gao Jiaming’s eyebrows immediately shot up as he recognized the Rolls-Royce as his elder brother Gao Zhixiong’s car!
“Why is he here?”
Gao Jiaming frowned. His elder brother Gao Zhixiong had a very strained relationship with his sister Gao Yaqin, so he rarely visited his sister proactively.
From the Ferrari sports car stepped out a young man dressed in a designer suit, exuding a flashy and arrogant demeanor. His condescending and dismissive attitude made it clear what kind of person he was.
Beside him was a tall beauty in a qipao, carrying a medicinal box made of rosewood. She was clearly his assistant.
“Doctor Sima, please come in.”
Gao Zhixiong’s attitude was very humble and smiling as he invited the young man named Sima Bochaos to enter first.
It was evident that this Sima Bochaos was no ordinary person. He was a disciple of the Sima family, a renowned medical lineage from the capital!
“Mr. Gao, please.”
Sima Bochaos looked up at the sky, and his arrogant gaze cast a sideways glance at Gao Zhixiong. Although his words were polite, he had already walked ahead, causing Gao Zhixiong to inwardly scoff. It was clear that he also had no fondness for this arrogant Sima Bochaos.
If it weren’t for the pretense, he would never have invited him!
Gao Zhixiong brought Sima Bochaos and his female assistant into the living room, only to find people dining in the restaurant. He went over to take a look and saw his third brother, Gao Jiaming.
Gao Zhixiong’s expression immediately darkened, “Why are you here too?”
Facing his elder brother, Gao Jiaming sneered sarcastically, “That’s a question I should be asking you!”
Gao Zhixiong’s face was grim as he glanced at Wan Yunting, Gu Luotang, and Qi Miaomiao. “Jiaming, don’t you know Yaqin is gravely ill? You shouldn’t bring outsiders here to bother her.”
“Brother, you brought them too.”
Gao Jiaming had seen Sima Bochaos and the others outside. Gao Zhixiong snorted, “I invited Doctor Sima from the capital to treat Gao Ya.”
“Oh, really? What a coincidence.”
Gao Jiaming immediately pointed to Wan Yunting, Gu Luotang, and Qi Miaomiao, “I also invited these doctors from Huadu to treat Yaqin.”
“Hmph, what good doctors can come from Huadu City?”
Gao Zhixiong coldly scanned Wan Yunting, Gu Luotang, and the others. He pointed to Sima Bochaos outside, “Do you know that the Sima family from the capital is an authority in traditional Chinese medicine? That Sima Bochaos outside is the son of Mr. Sima Wentang, the current chairman of the Chinese Medicine Association. How can anyone compare to his superb medical skills!”
Upon hearing this, Qi Miaomiao was shocked, “The Sima family…”
Beside her, Gu Luotang’s delicate eyebrows slightly raised. Wan Yunting, sitting beside her, showed a strong interest when he heard they were from the Sima family!
“Mr. Gao, my time is precious, and I don’t have time to waste here. Hurry and take me to see the patient.”
Sima Bochaos, who had been waiting impatiently in the living room, came in to speak. However, the moment he saw Gu Luotang, his eyes widened and sparkled, “Oh, isn’t this the one from the Gu family in Huadu… um, what’s her name again?”
“Young Master Sima, she should be called Gu Luotang!”
His female assistant glanced contemptuously at Gu Luotang. Sima Bochaos immediately remembered and walked towards Gu Luotang, “Yes, yes, Gu Luotang. Look at my memory, I’ve been so busy lately that I’ve forgotten the names of beautiful women. Sister Luotang, do you still remember me?”
Facing Sima Bochaos’s lecherous gaze, Gu Luotang’s beautiful face turned cold. How could she forget meeting him last year when she attended the National Traditional Chinese Medicine Conference with her grandfather!
He had shamelessly sat next to Gu Luotang then, boasting about how powerful he was, with an arrogant attitude that made Gu Luotang extremely disgusted.
“Hey, what are you doing?”
Seeing Sima Bochaos’s pig-like hand reaching for Gu Luotang’s shoulder, Qi Miaomiao, who was beside her, immediately stood up and unceremoniously slapped his hand. “You are so annoying. Can’t you see my senior sister doesn’t want to talk to you?”
Sima Bochaos’s face instantly turned sullen. He cast a sideways glance at Qi Miaomiao and snorted, “Little girl, you’re quite audacious to dare to hit me. Don’t think I’ll go easy on you just because your master is Gu Yuanbai!”
“So what? You want to hit me? Come on, try it…”
Qi Miaomiao was not one to be bullied either. Sima Bochaos’s words immediately made her bristling with anger. She fearlessly stepped forward, standing behind Gu Luotang.
“Heh, quite feisty. I like it.”
Sima Bochaos looked at the fiery Qi Miaomiao in front of him, and then at Gu Luotang sitting motionlessly. An evil thought arose in his mind: how wonderful it would be to have this pair of sisters…
Wan Yunting, sitting beside them, read Sima Bochaos’s wicked intentions from his sinister gaze, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
The Sima family, as expected, were all bad eggs!
“Mr. Gao, the madam has woken up.”
At this moment, a nanny walked in and said to Gao Zhixiong and Gao Jiaming.
“Alright.”
Gao Zhixiong nodded. He didn’t care about the relationship between Sima Bochaos and the people invited by his third brother, Gao Jiaming. “Doctor Sima, my sister has woken up. Please go up and examine her.”
“Doctor Luotang, have you finished eating?” Gao Jiaming also stood up and said to Gu Luotang and Wan Yunting with a smile, “Let’s go up.”
“Okay.”
Gu Luotang nodded slightly, stood up, and tugged Qi Miaomiao, signaling her that there was no need to be polite to someone like that.
“I’ll carry it.”
Wan Yunting didn’t even look at Sima Bochaos beside him. He picked up the medicine box for Qi Miaomiao, appearing ready to assist.
“Fine, you have spirit. I like that.”
Seeing Gu Luotang and Qi Miaomiao turn and leave, Sima Bochaos’s desire for conquest was ignited. With a sinister smile, he waved his hand and followed by his female assistant, he, along with Gao Zhixiong and Wan Yunting’s group, left the dining room and headed to the second floor…
“Cough…”
Before they reached the second floor, they heard faint coughing sounds from above. When Wan Yunting, Gu Luotang, Qi Miaomiao, Sima Bochaos, and the Gao brothers arrived on the second floor living room, the door to the master bedroom was open. The nanny said anxiously, “Mr. Gao, madam is not doing well. You should go in quickly and examine her.”
“Alright, Doctor Sima, quickly please…”
Gao Zhixiong took the lead, bringing Sima Bochaos in first. Gao Jiaming, unwilling to be outdone, also quickly brought Wan Yunting, Gu Luotang, and the others in…
“Dr. Chen, how is my sister’s condition?”
Upon entering the master bedroom, they saw a man and a woman, both wearing white coats, examining a woman lying on the bed. She appeared to be in her thirties, with well-defined features and extraordinary beauty.
Perhaps due to her illness, the woman’s face was pale and bloodless, possessing a sickly beauty that was stunning.
This was the fourth daughter of the Gao family, Gao Yaqin!
