Chapter 34: Payback With Life
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Like the front yard, Begonia Yard was full of the colorful begonia flowers. Gu Chaoyan frowned at them. She did not like these s.h.i.+ning and superficial things.
As the servants of Begonia Yard caught sight of Gu Chaoyan, their faces changed. Facing Gu Zhenkang, they pointed at Gu Chaoyan and snapped. “What is Miss Ugly doing at our Begonia Yard?”
The sharp voices attracted Mrs. Gu’s attention as well.
Seeing Gu Chaoyan, Mrs. Gu said harshly, “You hideous weirdo, what are you doing here? Are you trying to spread the disease of ugliness to our Ruxue.”
Suddenly, Mrs. Gu realized something and pointed at Gu Chaoyan with wide eyes. “Wait a minute! Why did my Ruxue get rashes after going to your place the other day?”
Gu Chaoyan raised her eyebrows and looked at Mrs. Gu in confusion. When did Mrs. Gu become so smart as to guess that there was some relation between Gu Ruxue’s face and her?
Before she was able to think deeper, Mrs. Gu screamed. “You are the one who has spread the ugliness to Ruxue. It’s definitely you!”
Gu Chaoyan rolled her eyes. She had thought that Mrs. Gu had turned smarter, but it seemed that she was still brainless.
Everyone seemed to believe what she said and turned to look at Gu Chaoyan in fright, fearing that they would get the contagious disease too.
“Aunt Zhang, you are wrong. I am just tanned and chubby. I have no rashes on my face like your daughter. How will I be able to spread this kind of disease to anyone?” Gu Chaoyan looked at Mrs. Gu as if she were staring at an idiot.
Mrs. Gu was dumbstruck and had no reply.
First of all, she did not expect that Gu Chaoyan would counter her. And secondly, when she looked at Gu Chaoyan carefully, she saw that this hideous girl’s face was clear except for the tanned skin, the chubby cheeks and the red birthmark.
This displeased Mrs. Gu.
She got so upset that she did not even notice that Gu Chaoyan was not addressing her as mother.
“You...” Mrs. Gu pointed at Gu Chaoyan, unable to utter a word.
Gu Zhenkang stepped forward and said, “Mother asked her to examine Ruxue’s face to see if she can help her recover.”
“She?!” Mrs. Gu’s voice sounded sharp.
“We would be thankful if she doesn’t ruin our Ruxue any further. Old Master, have you become slow in your head or something? Since when has she become a doctor?!” Mrs. Gu mocked ruthlessly.
She did not hear about how Gu Chaoyan cured the little boy of the w.a.n.g Family, since she had spent most of her time at Begonia Yard with her convalescing daughter during the past few days.
So, Gu Zhenkang had to recount the entire story.
Mrs. Gu stared at Gu Chaoyan in disbelief. She didn’t want to believe the claim but didn’t know how to refute it. After all, this girl’s maternal family had indeed been engaged in medical business.
“None of the doctors can do anything about Ruxue’s face, just let her try.” Gu Zhenkang suggested.
He had chosen to believe Gu Chaoyan after what she did to the little boy of the w.a.n.g Family.
But Mrs. Gu was still not convinced.
Doctors had told her that Ruxue’s face was incurable.
So she said, “Ugly, you can take a look at Ruxue, but you have to be careful! If anything goes wrong with Ruxue, you will have to pay back with your life, got it?”
With her life?
How dare she, a concubine, raise such a proposal to the daughter of the legal wife?
Her life was indeed worse than an ant!
Gu Chaoyan threw a look at Gu Zhenkang who was standing next to her.
