The next day, at two in the afternoon.
When Yu He woke up, her entire head throbbed with a hangover.
She sat up and found herself in unfamiliar surroundings. Her clothes had also been changed. After a moment, she remembered she had come to Ruan Tianxin's place last night.
She reached for her phone, charging on the bedside table, and opened her WeChat messages. After dealing with the unread messages, she finally saw a voice message from Qin Beiting sent at three in the morning.
"Baby, I have to go on a business trip temporarily. My return date is undecided. It might be two or three days, or maybe a week. Take good care of yourself during this time. Call me if anything comes up, or find Chen Dong. I love you when I get back."
The man's magnetic voice could faintly be heard in the background, suggesting he was driving.
"Tch~" Yu He tossed the phone aside expressionlessly, thinking to herself, who waited for him to come back.
"Little He Miao, you're awake. I just got the takeout I ordered. Go brush your teeth and eat something," Ruan Tianxin said, pushing the door open.
"Okay." Yu He got out of bed, washed up, and went to the living room.
Ruan Tianxin had already set the takeout on the dining table and had specially ordered a large bowl of hangover soup for her.
"Did I do anything out of line last night?" Yu He asked, pulling out a chair and sitting down.
Ruan Tianxin sat opposite her, her expression difficult to describe. Yu He suddenly had a bad premonition.
She tended to black out when she drank and had no memory of what she did.
"It wasn't exactly out of line," Ruan Tianxin said carefully. "It's just that Qin Seventh Master called you last night. Then you hugged your phone, accused him of not loving you anymore, agreed to break up, and even forbade him from taking back the gifts he gave you..."
Yu He took a deep breath, incredulous, "Did I really say that?"
Ruan Tianxin nodded. "You almost cried. I thought Qin Seventh Master was so blamed by you that he didn't want to break up with you anymore. You hypocritical little drama queen. Yesterday, I thought you two were playing some new game to flirt, but your emotions were out of control..."
Yu He thought of the scene and felt so embarrassed she wanted to disappear. She pressed her hand to her forehead.
No wonder Qin Beiting sent her that voice message.
This damned alcohol! She shouldn't drink recklessly anymore!
If she was going to drink, she had to block Qin Beiting beforehand!
"Little He Miao, if you're really that upset, why don't you just not break up? Qin Seventh Master is quite good, actually. If you still love him, you can give him a chance to make amends," Ruan Tianxin advised.
Whether Yu He broke up or not, as her best friend, Ruan Tianxin supported her.
It was just that seeing Yu He so upset last night made Ruan Tianxin feel bad too. She could see that Yu He genuinely liked Qin Beiting, but Qin Beiting was too much, actually using Yu He's trust in him to manipulate her.
Yu He drank the hangover soup, saying nothing.
Did she still love Qin Beiting?
She couldn't say she didn't.
But as she carefully recalled everything that had happened since they reunited, Li Sichen's words suddenly echoed in her mind: "How do you know Qin Beiting won't lie to you?"
She suddenly didn't know if she could still trust Qin Beiting, even suspecting that their reunion was all Qin Beiting's design.
Qin Beiting knew her entire purpose and her vengeance, yet he had gradually drawn her into his gentle trap, making her sink, numb, and let down her guard. Her emotions were like code, meticulously calculated by him...
Thinking of this, Yu He suddenly felt Qin Beiting was terrifying. She increasingly felt that she had been deceived by his gentle side and didn't understand him at all.
Seeing Yu He's silence, Ruan Tianxin said, "Forget it, forget it, let's not talk about men anymore. After we eat, let's go shopping. You can buy whatever you want today, and I'll pay!"
After eating, Yu He picked out a relatively normal white casual outfit from Ruan Tianxin's girlish wardrobe. They were about the same size, so the clothes fit perfectly.
Before leaving, she was about to call Qiao Wei to ask him to feed her pet pig. Coincidentally, Qiao Wei's call came through.
"Yu He, something's wrong. Your grandmother came to the clinic to cause a scene." Qiao Wei's anxious voice came through the phone.
Yu He frowned slightly. "Grandmother?"
"Yes, she claims to be your biological grandmother and your biological uncle. The two of them came to the clinic to cause trouble for Grandma Yu and are refusing to leave," Qiao Wei said.
"Keep an eye on my grandmother. I'm coming back now." Yu He hung up and told Ruan Tianxin that she couldn't go shopping and had to return to the clinic.
—
Yu Xianyi Clinic.
"Everyone, please judge! I am the biological grandmother of the Nameless Divine Doctor. This is the biological uncle of the Nameless Divine Doctor. The Nameless Divine Doctor is the boss of this clinic, yet this old hag inside is impersonating my granddaughter's grandmother, occupying my position, and stopping us from seeing my granddaughter!"
An old rural woman with half white hair and simple clothing, holding the hand of a man in his forties beside her, beckoned passersby to gather.
The man was dressed more neatly than the old woman. His face was quite handsome, and he bore a strong resemblance to Cheng Lizhu. He had his hair slicked back, wore a suit, a large LV belt around his waist, and carried an LV bag under his arm. However, those who knew would recognize these as fakes.
This was Luo Shi and Cheng Qiang, the mother and brother of Cheng Lizhu.
Nurse Xiao Qing saw the growing crowd of onlookers, and even reporters had arrived. To protect the reputation of Yu Xianyi Clinic and the Nameless Divine Doctor, she subtly suggested that Luo Shi and Cheng Qiang come inside to talk. However, the mother and son were determined to make a scene and refused to go in, lingering at the entrance.
"Don't think we're stupid. If you let us in, you'll close the door and set dogs on us. We won't have anywhere to complain. Make that old hag inside come out and talk!" Cheng Qiang lit another cigarette and said.
"Exactly!" Luo Shi chimed in. "If you have anything to say, let that old hag come out and talk. Let's settle this in front of everyone. Is she occupying my place and swindling my granddaughter's money!
"And don't go to her for treatment anymore! She's a fraud, an incompetent doctor, and she even killed someone before."
Cheng Qiang: "It was the wife of the Shen family in the capital. She was treated to death by her back then! I believe many people know about this."
Luo Shi: "Yes, yes, and several children in our Cheng family village back then, just after they were born, were also treated to death by her..."
Outside, the mother and son's words painted an increasingly dark picture. The reporters, as if discovering a major scoop, frantically took photos and even started live-streaming.
Old Mrs. Yu, inside the clinic, couldn't stand it any longer and came out, despite Qiao Wei's attempts to stop her.
"You keep saying you are Nannan's biological grandmother and uncle. Do you have any proof?"
Seeing Old Mrs. Yu finally come out, Luo Shi placed her hands on her hips and said, "We are the Nameless Divine Doctor's blood relatives. We're not afraid of your questioning. Just tell me, did you deliberately switch my granddaughter all those years ago, and now you want to use my granddaughter to get revenge on your daughter in the Qin family!"
Hearing this, Old Mrs. Yu stood there, stunned.
