Rebirth: Divine Doctor, Sweet Wife

It had been a few days since Mo Beihan left and there had not been any news from him.

This day, Ji Mingyue suddenly looked for her. “Yao Yao!”

Gu Qingyao was teaching the two kids to write at home and hurriedly ushered Ji Mingyue to sit when she saw her.

“Is there any news of Mo Beihan already?”

Gu Qingyao paused for a moment before shaking her head.

A frown appeared on Ji Mingyue’s forehead. “What exactly are those two fellows doing? It’s… it’s been a few days already but there’s not a single news from them. Who knows what they’re doing.”

Gu Qingyao’s brows furrowed. “Two? Who else is there apart from Brother Beihan? Your eldest brother?”

Ji Mingyue nodded. “Mhm! Mo Beihan left with my eldest brother. Who knows what they left for. They were so mysterious about it. The Zhang family… is causing trouble for us.”

Gu Qingyao found it a little unbelievable. “So fast? Even if… Zhang Qiang was kicked by Brother Beihan, he did not sustain any injuries. The Ji family has some power and no matter how arrogant the Zhang family is, they wouldn’t directly attack the Ji family over such a matter, would they?

Ji Mingyue could not understand why either. “I don’t know either. Anyways, the Ji family is in a lot of trouble recently and my second uncle is extremely troubled. If this goes on, the Ji family would not be able to hold on and I’m afraid something bad will happen.”

Gu Qingyao was silent. If that was the case, the Gu family probably faced even more troubles.

As they were discussing, the door suddenly opened. Gu Jinlin had returned.

Gu Qingyao was taken aback. “Third Brother, why are you back?”

Gu Jinlin looked extremely worn out – his clothes were drenched and he was covered in dust. It looked like he just returned from harsh labour although his job clearly had very good conditions.

Gu Jinlin changed his shoes and wanted to take a shower but when he saw that Ji Mingyue was present as well, he was a little awkward as an outsider saw such a shabby side of him.

He laughed. “There’s nothing much to do so I came back. I’ll take a shower first. Don’t worry. Nothing happened!”

Gu Jinlin took his clothes and went into the bathroom. Gu Qingyao saw that the shoes which he just took off were frayed!

Zhou Ping was home as well. She had been worrying during this period of time as she knew that the Zhang family was not to be trifled with from her years of living in the provincial capital.

That Zhang Qiang was like a young overlord here and no one dared to offend him. Now that he fancied Gu Qingyao and was beaten up by Mo Beihan as a result, it would be strange if the Zhang family was not infuriated.

Zhang Qiang was the treasure of the Zhang family as he was the only son of the entire family clan. At this age, he had not been beaten by anyone before but now…

“Jinlin? Jinlin, what happened to you? Why did you become like this? Shouldn’t you be at work at this time? Why are you back?

“Did the Zhang family cause you trouble? Is it so? Say something!”

Gu Jinlin was extremely embarrassed. He was taking a shower in the bathroom and there was still a lady from another family present in the house, yet his mother was speaking to him from outside the toilet door.

“It’s fine. Mother, we will talk about this later.”

After a quick shower to wash away the stench, he stepped out.

Impatiently, Zhou Ping dragged him to sit in the living room. “Quick. Tell me, what happened to you?”

“The Zhang family caused you trouble, right? Did they make things difficult for you?”

Gu Jinlin looked at his mother and knew that he could not hide it thus he nodded.

“They’re indeed causing me trouble. They’re only making things difficult for now. I reckon that in two days, I’ll lose my job!”

“What?”

Zhou Ping jumped to her feet in shock. “You’ll lose your job? What… What do we do then? You can’t lose your job! Can’t you all discuss with the Zhang family? See what they want exactly? Can’t we compromise?”
