The doctors didn’t believe thatGu Ning had no more pills, but they understood that she was not willing to share it with them, so they stopped asking about it.

After that, they pushed Li Mingyue out.

Once the door of the operating room opened, He Qihang and the Li family went forward.

“Doctor, how’s my wife?” asked He Qihang. Although he believed that Li Mingyue would be fine with Gu Ning’s help, he was still worried before hearing the result.

“Doctor, how’s my daughter?” asked Mrs. Li, but Li Mingcun and Li Mingzhang said nothing. When they saw Gu Ning, they were nervous because they were already aware of her status.

Li Mingzhang was especially anxious, because he had harshly picked on Gu Ning earlier.

“The operation was very successful. Thanks to Miss Gu for stopping your wife from bleeding out, she was much more stable and we were able to finish the operation. Surprisingly, she’s already recovering,” said the doctor. He believed that the credit should go to Gu Ning, and didn’t bother to hide his admiration and respect for Gu Ning.

Hearing that, the others were very surprised. Even though they were less doubtful because of Gu Ning’s status, they were still astonished to know that Gu Ning really had saved Li Mingyue’s life.

“Gu Ning, thank you so much for your help!” He Qihang immediately thanked Gu Ning. He even bowed deeply to her, but Gu Ning quickly walked away once she realized what he wanted to do. It was too much.

“Mr. He, I’m glad to help, but a bow isn’t necessary,” said Gu Ning.

“Miss Gu, thank you so much!” Mrs. Li thanked Gu Ning as well. Even though she valued her sons above her daughter, she still cared about her. Therefore, she sincerely thanked Gu Ning for the favor.

“My pleasure,” said Gu Ning.

“Alright, I should leave now. You can deal with the rest,” said Gu Ning. Before receiving a response from them, she directly walked away. It was their family affair, so it was better for them to deal with it on their own.

Actually, Gu Ning had heard their conversation clearly. There was nothing wrong with He Qihang, but the two brothers were really malicious.

“I’m sorry, I can’t leave right now. I’m afraid I can’t walk you out.” He Qihang apologized.

“It’s fine. I can go back by myself,” said Gu Ning. Afterwards, she walked away. Without delay, He Qihang and the others went to see Li Mingyue.

Because Li Mingyue had just had an operation, she was still asleep, but it was much better than being in a coma.

If she was still unconscious, her life might be in danger, but she was safe as long as she was just asleep.

…

After Gu Ning walked out of the hospital, she went to the nearest subway station. A few minutes later, a car suddenly stopped at the side of the road next to Gu Ning. “Hey, Miss Gu!” A male voice called her.

Gu Ning stopped and turned to look at the man.

It was Rong Jue.

“Oh, hi, Mr. Rong.” Gu Ning greeted him. Although the Rong family and the Leng family were opponents, it wasn’t a big deal if they exchanged greetings.

“Miss Gu, where are you going? Do you want a ride?” said Rong Jue.

“Thanks, but there’s no need. I’ll take the subway,” said Gu Ning.

“It’s just a little favor, Miss Gu. I actually need to talk to you about something. I don’t have your number and I can’t go to see you at your school,” said Rong Jue.

Since Rong Jue insisted, Gu Ning accepted his kindness.

“Thanks!” Gu Ning said, then got in his car, taking a rear seat.

After Gu Ning was in the car, she told Rong Jue that she needed to go to the city center around the siheyuan. It was late now, so she wouldn’t return to school today.

“Miss Gu, did you come to see a friend?” asked Rong Jue with slight concern. It seemed as if he was worried that Gu Ning might be sick.

“Yes,” Gu Ning answered.

Hearing that, Rong Jue was relieved. He didn’t want Gu Ning to be sick.

“Oh, Miss Gu, you rescued my younger brother last time, I should thank you for that,” said Rong Jue.

“You’re welcome, Mr. Rong. It was just a little favor,” said Gu Ning.

“Well, I don’t know whether you know it yet, but I think you should know. I heard news that someone wants to conduct an investigation about antiques that are kept private. I know there are many real antiques in the Xiangyun Antique-store which is owned by you. They’re very valuable, so please be careful these days,” said Rong Jue.

“I didn’t know that yet, but thank you for reminding me.” Gu Ning thanked him. Whether it was serious or not, she ought to thank Rong Jue for reminding her to be careful.

“My pleasure, Miss Gu,” said Rong Jue.

Afterwards, they said nothing further.

About five minutes later, Gu Ning’s phone rang. She gave it a glance and saw Leng Shaoting’s name. Gu Ning was excited and picked it up at once.

Rong Jue couldn’t see Gu Ning’s phone, but he guessed it must be Leng Shaoting from her reaction.

Seeing the excitement on Gu Ning’s face, he was a little hurt, because he held some affection for Gu Ning. Unfortunately, Gu Ning was Leng Shaoting’s fiancée, so he had to keep his affection for her in his heart till it faded away.

“Ningning, what are you doing?” Once Gu Ning answered his call, Leng Shaoting asked. He missed her badly.

He hadn’t contacted Gu Ning for many days, and couldn’t wait to come back to her side, but they wouldn’t be apart for too long.

“I’m on my way home. Our head teacher’s wife was in danger earlier. I could see that he wasn’t right and I was afraid that he might get into an accident, so I drove him to the No. 9 Hospital,” said Gu Ning.

“I’m coming back to the capital. I should arrive in about an hour. Are you going to the siheyuan now?” said Leng Shaoting.

They hadn’t seen each other in a long time, so he wanted to be alone with Gu Ning, but there was something he needed to talk about with Jing Yunyao and the others. Therefore, he would go back to the siheyuan first.

“Yes, I’m going back to the siheyuan,” said Gu Ning. She understood that Leng Shaoting must have something to deal with at the siheyuan.

“Great, alright, I should go now. I need to call grandpa back,” said Leng Shaoting. Once he turned on his phone, he saw many missed calls from Gu Ning, Master Leng, and Jing Yunyao.
