Chapter 596: Chapter 599: Can’t Escape His Eyes
Either this Dr. Yue has some eccentricities, or there’s something she can’t disclose.
Perhaps she doesn’t want to treat many patients, which is why she signed on to be a private family doctor.
If so, Gu Junzhu wants to hear her insight.
Chi Yu and Chi Zhan naturally agreed.
Soon, Yue Yaer was called over.
Chi Yu didn’t hide anything. He gave a detailed account of his sister’s past ordeal and her current condition to Yue Yaer. Finally, he sincerely said, “Dr. Yue, we brothers have run out of options. We turned to Fifth Brother for help. Would you be willing to go with us and take a look at my sister?”
“I don’t do house calls,” Yue Yaer glanced at Gu Junzhu: “However, if it’s a guest of the Fifth Master, I’d try my best if they asked me to take a look for them.”
Chi Yu immediately understood and quickly got up, “Great, I’ll go back and bring my sister. Please, Dr. Yue, we appreciate your help.”
Chi Yu and Chi Zhan excused themselves and left.
Gu Junzhu looked at Yue Yaer, gave a faint smile, and said, “Sit.”
Yue Yaer sat down in front of Gu Junzhu, feeling a bit uneasy.
While she had witnessed Gu Junzhu casually joking with Ye Xingbei on many occasions, she couldn’t figure out why she still felt nervous every time she faced him.
She always felt that a casual glance from him was enough to see through the secrets buried deep within her heart.
“Dr. Yue, I wanted to ask, since you’re such a skilled physician, why did you agree to be our Gu Family’s private doctor, even signing a fifty-year contract?” Gu Junzhu leaned back languidly into the sofa.
Yue Yaer opened her mouth.
But when her gaze landed on Gu Junzhu’s seemingly all-knowing eyes, she swallowed back the excuse she had prepared.
She relaxed her rigid posture, let out a chuckle, “I have my own reasons.”
Gu Junzhu smiled faintly, “I’d like to hear more about it.”
Yue Yaer bit her lip, internally torn and hesitant.
“Even if you don’t talk, I can find out,” Gu Junzhu’s smile was even more apparent, “Dr. Yue, you should understand the principle of leniency for those who confess and severity for those who resist. Moreover, Dr. Yue, you’ve already signed a fifty-year contract with me, you’re part of the Gu Family now. As long as your plans are reasonable and justifiable, not harmful and detrimental, the Gu Family will offer you protection and support, never harm you. Protecting our own is one of the Gu Family’s strengths. But if your plans are harmful…”
Gu Junzhu narrowed his eyes: “You can pack up and leave right now.”
After a moment, Yue Yaer spoke, “Alright, I admit it. I indeed have my personal reasons agreeing to the long-term contract.”
After voicing this, Yue Yaer felt a sense of relief.
She could see that Ye Xingbei was a soft-hearted and kind girl.
Ye Xingbei genuinely treated her as a friend.
Though her target wasn’t Gu Junzhu or Ye Xingbei, her purpose for signing a contract with the Gu Family was to use them as a stepping stone to exact revenge on her enemies.
Strictly speaking, this could also be considered using them.
Better to clear up things while her relationship with Ye Xingbei wasn’t too deep yet, to avoid feeling guilty for keeping such a secret from Ye Xingbei when they become inseparable in the future.
Gu Junzhu asked, “What kind of personal reasons? Would you mind sharing?”
“Nothing inconvenient. As you said, if you’ve grown suspicious, even if I don’t say it, you’d be able to find out,” Yue Yaer touched the corner of her lips, slightly lowering her head, “My grandfather, whom your father should also know, used to be Xiang Xiongyi’s family doctor.”
