Chapter 39: Gu Yuzhen Has No Value
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ming Qu immediately cut off the screen, leaning back against the chair and using her phone leisurely.
The door opened. Gu Yuzhen was standing by the door frame, dressed in loose home clothes.
She acted casually, shooting him an indifferent glance before slowly getting up from the chair.
“I’ve used your computer for a bit.”
Gu Yuzhen’s lips only raised slightly when he saw how calm and composed she seemed.
What had this little girl done? How did she escape his eyes?
At that moment, Gu Yuzhen hadn’t been worried. He was confident that there would be a record of what Ming Qu had done using the computer. After searching through the hard drive of the computer, however, he found no trace of anything out of the ordinary.
Could it really be that she only used the computer to search for information?
At the same moment that Gu Yuzhen was pondering this, the Ming Group building was being swarmed by media reporters.
Just as the uncle currently handling the Ming Group was dealing with a massive headache, Ming Qu was dressed in a white coat, rescuing a patient on an operating table.
“I want to ask, is Doctor Ming here?”
Ming Qu had just left the operating room when she saw a woman standing at the door of her department from afar. Behind her was a man in uniform, holding flowers and some fruits in his hands.
They happened to stop a nurse who had been passing by.
Ming Qu stood uncertain. They were far away, and she could not hear what they were saying. When she noticed that the nurse was welcoming the woman into the department, she slowly walked over.
As soon as she approached, the woman who had been sitting immediately stood up.
Her appearance seemed elegant and noble, and her tastes in clothes were not like those of an ordinary woman.
“Are you Doctor Ming?”
The woman was the first to speak.
It was only then that Ming Qu realized that she looked somewhat familiar.
“The mayor’s wife?”
As soon as she had asked, the woman smiled lightly.
“I’m sorry, I’m here today to thank you, Doctor Ming.”
As she spoke, she took the flowers and fruit basket from the man’s hands.
“That day, if it wasn’t for you, I may have lost the ability to be a mother for the rest of my life.”
She was a little choked up by the time she was done speaking.
Even Ming Qu had been moved by her words.
“Of course, I was just doing my duty as a doctor to treat my patients. Madam is so young, and you have already lost your child. For you to lose the most important part of your body as well… Even if I wasn’t a doctor, I would’ve done anything to help.”
“Thank you.”
Her words had moved the woman to tears.
“Madam, take good care of your body. You will still have a child.”
“Yes, I know. I will definitely take your advice. I will take good care of my body.”
The woman held Ming Qu’s hands with gratitude in her eyes.
“Give me a moment.”
Ming Qu picked up a piece of paper and a pen before writing down a prescription.
“Madam, your body is still recovering from pregnancy. Don’t worry too much. This prescription will help regulate your body as quickly as possible. Go to the traditional Chinese medicine store at Tong City and get them to brew this for you. Take it on time, according to the dosage I’ve prescribed. You’ll be able to get pregnant around this time next year.”
“Really?”
Hearing this news, the woman was so excited that she almost jumped up.
After a round of thanks, Ming Qu sent her out of the hospital. As she was heading back to the department after seeing her off to her car, she came across Ming Lai in the hall on the first floor.
She didn’t know if she had been here for a medical examination or for something else. Seeing Ming Qu, Ming Lai immediately stuffed the test results into her bag.
Ming Qu hadn’t wanted to acknowledge her, but the woman arrogantly stepped forward, blocking her way.
“The house is a mess now. I guess you can continue hiding here and relax.”
“Mess? Tch!”
Ming Qu couldn’t help but sneer.
“I’m a doctor. If saving lives in a hospital isn’t good enough, would you rather I take charge of the business world? Or would you prefer it if I became the chairman of Ming Group?”
“You!”
Her words had successfully angered Ming Lai. She gritted her teeth, her eyes narrowing. She was boiling with hatred.
“Don’t think that just because you’ve found a boyfriend that you have a backer. That Gu Yuzhen is useless apart from being handsome.”
Ming Lai’s words didn’t hurt Ming Qu at all. She shrugged, looking indifferent.
“He’s him and I’m me. There’s no backer here.”
Ming Lai laughed unexpectedly. “Is that so? Father had originally thought that he was some powerful figure. After all this time, he’s found out that apart from owning a small and broken company, Gu Yuzhen has no presence in Tong City, and no value at all.”
“He is my man. You can use whoever you want to use, but don’t get any ideas about him!”
Ming Qu could not be bothered to tangle with her anymore. She warned her harshly before she left.
Ming Lai refused to give up. She turned around, staring at her back. Her gaze was as cold and sharp as ice blades.
