Chapter 27
âGrandmother.â Gu Xiaotook a step forwards. Now that the camera was not filming, and Ji Yao was not here either, Gu Xiao no longer needed to pretend. âI know that you are not a bad person, but Grandma, Ji Yao may be lying to you.â
âWhat do you mean? What do you know?â Grandma Jin was shocked.
âGrandmother, I know that your child has gone blind, and I also know that you are looking everywhere to find treatment for him, but Grandma, Ji Yao lied to you.â
Gu Xiao said, âYou can go and investigate. I am sure that you would be able to find out, because there is only one person in the whole world that could perform that kind of operation, and that doctor had injured his hand a year ago in a doctor-patient conflict, and is no longer capable of performing that operation.â
Grandma Jinâs expression immediately became serious. She stared directly at Gu Xiao, as if she wanted to see right through her.
âWhen they said they could help you, they meant that they could help you contact that doctor for theoretical treatment, and not for the surgical treatment. The success rate of others performing this operation is still zero even now,â Gu Xiao continued.
âAre you telling the truth?â Grandma Jinâs voice trembled.
âGrandmother, you can completely investigate on your own.â Gu Xiao was very calm.
Without hesitating, Grandma Jin found someone to verify this. It wasnât long before she got the results, and it was indeed exactly as the girl in front of her had said.
When one was old, one would really become muddleheaded. If she was a few dozen years younger, how could she easily believe such words?
This Ji family really dared to deceive anyone! Grandma Jin sat up straight in anger.
âI understand.â Grandma Jin withdrew her assessing gaze, and said to Gu Xiao and Chu An, âHelp me take down this mink fur coat and hang it up. They forced me to wear this kind of clothing, so itâs not the slightest bit comfortable.â
âAll right.â Gu Xiao obediently took off her coat. Seeing that Grandma Jin was no longer putting on airs, she breathed a sigh of relief.
âOh, thatâs right. Whatâs your name?â Grandma Jin asked.
âGrandma Jin, my name is Gu Xiao.â
âActually, Iâve always thought that Ji Yao is too scheming. By the looks of it now, though youâre from the countryside, perhaps youâre more suited for that boy,â Grandma Jin said.
Gu Xiaoâs face instantly flushed red.
âThank you, Grandma.â Gu Xiao hurriedly walked into the room with theclothes, and Chu An looked at how she was looking like a frightened rabbit, reciting âso cuteâ in his heart.
Who cared what others thought? In any case, in Chu Anâs heart, he and Gu Xiao were a match made in heaven!
Gu Xiao kept thinking about the situation at the other two groups. She had settled the matter here, and Grandma Jin would not make things difficult for them in future.
But what about An Yang and Chen Li?
Although Lin Xue was already on Gu Xiaoâs side, Chen Li and Meng Feiâs groupâ¦
In these few days that they had been together, Gu Xiao already thought of them as her good friends.
The reason why she was worried was because the old woman that Chen Li had been assigned to had a severe heart condition, and could not get angry.
Precisely because of this, Chen Li had to fulfill all of her requests. Chen Li and Meng Fei were in the same group, and when the time came, the show would definitely be edited to show Chen Li infuriating the elderly and drawing displeasure from the audience.
Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly heard a commotion outside, which was quickly followed by anxious shouts.
âGrandmother! Grandma, are you all right! I didnât do it on purposeâ¦â
Gu Xiao rushed out the door, and saw that the door to the suite opposite them was open. An old woman was lying on the ground, and Chen Li was crouched down beside her, looking very anxious, and close to tears. This attracted a great many people, and the production team was still filming.
âChen Li!â Gu Xiao hurriedly ran over, âWhat happened?â
âGu Xiao, it wasnât me⦠it wasnât me!â Chen Li was already so panicked that she could barely speak. She could only tug at Gu Xiaoâs clothes and cry.
âAunty Wang told us to fill her favorite cup with water. Aunty Wangâs late husband left it for her, and in the end, Chen Li didnât hold it firmly enough and shattered it. Thatâs why Aunty Wang was angered to this extent,â Meng Fei said first.
The spectators were also spamming comments on the bullet screen at this moment.
[Chen Li killed someone!]
[This is such a valuable item; wasnât she careful when she held it?]
[Thereâs really been a fatality. Chen Li wonât be able to pay for it even in two lifetimes, right?]
âIt wasnât me! It was you! You did it on purpose!â When Chen Li heard Meng Feiâs words, she suddenly flew into a thunderous rage. She rushed forwards to grab Meng Feiâs collar, and was pulled away by the people around her, âAunty Wang saw it. It was youâ¦â
âDonât be noisy. Sheâs not dead yet.â Chu An realized the seriousness of the matter, and walked forwards. âDo any of you know how to perform CPR?â
Chu An glanced around, and not a single person nodded.
