Chapter 601: Chapter 601: Approaching Gu Jing

Gu Guotai snorted coldly, “He’s practically clueless! All he thinks about is playing around and never does anything serious! He’s been spoiled by your big brother and eldest sister-in-law. It’s hopeless, no need to speak up for him!”

“How could that be, Jing is still young, with your guidance, he will certainly grow.”

“He’s already twenty-three, and you call that young? Doctor Qiao is also twenty-three. Look at her, she is mature, skilful in her practice, diligent in her work, that is a good child!”

At this point, Gu Chengsong was left speechless. He gestured to Gu Jing, indicating that he should quickly say a few nice words to the old man.

However, Gu Jing seemed to have turned a blind eye. He ignored Chengsong’s hints and instead approached Qiao Yin, laughing merrily, “Doctor Qiao, we meet again. Do you have any plans for lunch after you get off work? I’d like to treat you to a meal to thank you for treating my grandfather.”

His intentions were clear to all with eyes.

Gu Guotai felt his grandson was really embarrassing him and his face showed an extremely unpleasant expression.

Gu Chengsong, however, was used to his nephew’s behavior. Though, he thought, Jing finally had good taste in women, previously only pursuing air-headed women.

If it was in the past, Qiao Yin would sternly decline Gu Jing’s invitation and keep her distance from him.

But now, she needed to use Gu Jing to find out more about the Gu family’s first branch – he was the best point of entry since he was not as calculating compared to Gu Guotai or Gu Chengsong!

However, she could not reveal her intentions too obviously before Gu Guotai.

So, she smiled at Gu Jing, “I would be honoured if Young Master Gu invited me to lunch, but unfortunately, I’ve made plans for today. Maybe another time!”

She gently declined while leaving room for a future meal since she urgently wanted to spend time alone with Gu Jing.

Seeing her smile at him, Gu Jing was dumbfounded.

He mumbled, “You’re so beautiful!”

Qiao Yin smiled again, “Young Master Gu is indeed a promising young talent. I’ve long heard that everyone in the Gu family is both talented and good looking, and now having met you three, I know the rumors to be true.”

Her words pleased everyone, even the cunning Gu Guotai couldn’t help but praise, “If only you were my granddaughter. Your words and actions suit me perfectly. You’re nothing like my good-for-nothing grandson who doesn’t have a single thought in his head.”

Qiao Yin finished the last acupuncture needle and smilingly said, “He grew up in different circumstances. You shouldn’t worry about Young Master Gu. People often say that a good vessel takes time to mature. He was born into the Gu family without the need to scramble for a living, nor to flatter or adapt. He’s grown up pure and true under the protection of the Gu family, isn’t that something to be happy about? Rest assured, he will surely accomplish something of his own in the future.”

Gu Guotai felt a sense of relief from her words.

Despite always scolding his grandson, he sincerely hoped the best for him.

Qiao Yin’s words had touched his heart.

Finally, a hint of a smile appeared on his stern face. He looked at Gu Jing and said, “See, even Doctor Qiao is speaking up for you. You should show more respect toward her from now on, and don’t mess around, understand?”

Gu Jin couldn’t believe his grandfather was smiling at him, he hardly knew how to react.

Looking between his grandfather and Qiao Yin, he felt embarrassed to continue flirting with Qiao Yin. He scratched his head and conceded, “Yes, I understand. Thank you, Doctor Qiao, for speaking up for me.”

Gu Guotai was pleased. His grandson wasn’t all bad, just a little fickle. But he was still young, and these minor indiscretions wouldn’t matter once he grew up and settled down.

He was in high spirits, “Fine, the treatment is done, let’s go! Doctor Qiao, thank you for your hard work today.”

Qiao Yin quickly replied, “It wasn’t hard at all, this is my duty.”

After speaking, she followed Hospital Director Song to see Gu Guotai to the door.

Only after Gu Guotai had left, did Qiao Yin return to her office.

As soon as she got back, Song Zhu arrived.
