Chapter 489: Chapter 490: Everyone Says Gu Zhaohan is Gay
Xia Yangyang unconsciously shook her head.
What the hell was she thinking?
She had long divorced Gu Qichen, with no lingering entanglement.
What does his engagement have to do with her?
Xia Yangyang said to Gu Zhaohan, “Xiao Ye’s condition has improved slightly lately. He used to sleep an average of 20 hours a day, but now, he’s awake for about a half-hour more.”
Gu Zhaohan got up, “The efficacy of the new medication is undeniable, but we still dare not administer a high dose to Xiao Ye. Even though the possibility is slim, there’s still an unpredictable risk involved.”
Next was the expert consultation.
Xiao Ye would have an expert consultation every month, to address his illness and every minor change.
Of course, during this period, Xiao Ye would undergo neuronal stimulation therapy.
By the time everything was over, it was already noon.
At this hour, Xiao Ye was already drowsy.
The only time Xiao Ye was the most alert was during the evening.
It was just like a normal child’s state.
The rest of the time, even if he was awake, he was always drowsy.
The consultation ended.
Everyone left the meeting room.
Xia Yangyang picked up Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye obediently nestled on Xia Yangyang’s shoulder, sound asleep.
Gu Zhaohan also got up and approached her, “Have lunch together?”
Xia Yangyang shook her head, “No thanks, I have some things to take care of.”
For many years, aside from necessary communication with Gu Zhaohan, there had been no cordiality between them.
Gu Zhaohan was no longer the frosty ice prince, the boy in white, he used to be.
He was now the core of a top medical research team, the youngest world-class neurologist.
And his face had long abandoned its youthful na?veté.
He had become mature and stable.
Even in the United States, where aesthetic standards markedly differ between East and West, Gu Zhaohan’s face was still very well-liked.
All the unwed nurses and doctors in the prestigious Hopson Hospital were quite taken with him.
However, over the years, he had devoted himself to research, surgery, and academia, showing no interest in romance.
Because he definitively rejected all his admirers, some spitefully claimed he was gay.
This rumor spread for two years, and almost everyone believed it.
But Gu Zhaohan didn’t care at all.
Gu Zhaohan knew that Xia Yangyang wouldn’t agree to have lunch with him, but he wasn’t disappointed at all, “Drive carefully.”
Just after Xia Yangyang left, Gu Zhaohan received a phone call.
“Still at the hospital?” A deep male voice asked.
Gu Zhaohan was somewhat surprised, “Uncle?”
Gu Zhaohan still referred to Gu Qichen as “Uncle.”
Even though he clearly knew they were brothers from the same mother but different fathers.
At the time the scandal broke, he had been sequestered in Novi for studies.
By the time all things settled down.
He learned that many things had already undergone drastic changes.
Gu Qichen had gone from being his uncle to his biological brother.
Although outsiders made a big fuss about it.
Wildly speculating about the dramatic changes in the Gu family’s relationships, as well as its various impacts to the Shengyuan Group.
But in fact, for them.
Nothing really changed.
That incident seemed to have been completely forgotten by everyone in the Gu Family.
Gu Qichen still called Gu Mingzhu “Sister Mingzhu,” and their relationship hadn’t changed much either, it was just like before.
Gu Zhaohan had spent many years abroad, so it didn’t affect him much either.
“I came here for a meeting and thought I’d drop by to see you. Lunch together?” Gu Qichen’s voice came through from the other side of the phone.
