Chapter 1485: You Are His Medicine

When Qin Yaoguang spoke about Gu Xiangwen, her tone was full of contempt and ridicule.

Gu Nianzhi was disgusted and couldn’t help interrupting her. “No matter what my father did after that, he is still your ex-husband. He is someone you once loved. How can you talk about him like that? Don’t you think you’re lowering your own status?”

If she could slander her ex-husband like this, how could she be any better than him?

Qin Yaoguang laughed so hard that tears almost came out of her eyes. “What? You’re saying Gu Xiangwen is my ex-husband? Or someone I once loved? Oh my god! I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time.”

Wen Shouyi also laughed so hard that she almost couldn’t straighten her back.

“Did I say something wrong?” Gu Nianzhi was confused by their laughter.

He Zhichu sighed and walked over to hold Gu Nianzhi’s shoulders without saying a word.

Qin Yaoguang stopped smiling and said seriously, “I’ve only loved one person in my entire life, and that person is General He Chengjian. I’ve never married anyone else either. Gu Nianzhi, don’t flatter your father. I gave birth to you purely to treat young master He’s illness.”

Gu Nianzhi was shocked. “! ! !”

“Since you’ve never treated me like your own daughter and have no feelings for me, then why are you still fighting for custody of me? Why didn’t you give me to my father?”

Qin Yaoguang said expressionlessly, “Of course not. I went through so much trouble to give birth to you, and you’re of great use to me. How can I let Gu Xiangwen get hold of you so easily?”

Her gaze was emotionless as she looked at Gu Nianzhi calmly, as if she was looking at a commodity waiting to be sold.

She had no intention of treating her like a human being at all.

Gu Nianzhi was thoroughly enraged by Qin Yaoguang’s attitude.

She no longer cared whether this woman was her biological mother or not.

In her opinion, no one had the right to look at other people like that, not even her biological mother.

Children were not their parents’ items. A crime committed by a parent against a child was still a crime. The law could not be lenient just because it was their child that was harmed.

Gu Nianzhi was so angry that she in fact calmed down.

She crossed her legs and sat down on the single sofa in front of Qin Yaoguang’s bed. She said calmly, “Is that so? But unfortunately, I’m already an adult. There’s no need to fight your custody lawsuit anymore.”

“Yes,” Qin Yaoguang nodded. “Indeed, there’s no need. But no matter how old you are, you’re still my daughter. I was pregnant for ten months and gave birth to you by Caesarean section. Our mother-daughter relationship is protected by the law. It’s no use even if you don’t admit it.”

Gu Nianzhi chuckled.

She crossed her arms and leaned back on the sofa. She found a very comfortable position and said casually, “Is that so? Are you sure you want to debate with me on the legal issues of a mother-daughter relationship? Do you know how many cases there are where mother-daughter relationships were legally invalidated?”

Qin Yaoguang replied, “…”

“Alright, cut the crap. Show me your so-called evidence.”Gu Nianzhi utterly suppressed Qin Yaoguang and immediately went into lawyer mode.

Qin Yaoguang came back to her senses and pursed her lips. She said to Wen Shouyi, “Call my secretary and have her send over the flash drive from my desk.”

Not long after the call, a woman in her thirties delivered the flash drive.

Qin Yaoguang pointed at the computer in the ward. “Go and see for yourself.”

Gu Nianzhi took the flash drive and inserted it into the laptop. She began to look at it.

There were the maternity test report, the birth records, and the birth certificate. There were also the pregnancy and childbirth videos. Although they weren’t very long, the beautiful woman with long black hair in them was Qin Yaoguang.

Qin Yaoguang from twenty years ago was even more beautiful than she was now.

She was also more alike to Gu Nianzhi.

She glanced through all the evidence and sent it to her phone before turning off the computer, pulling out the flash drive, and returning it to Qin Yaoguang.

Even if the evidence was true, Gu Nianzhi didn’t care.

No one could force her to acknowledge someone she didn’t want to.

Wen Shouyi sat beside Qin Yaoguang’s bed and said with a smile, “Actually, Aunt Qin still treasures you. Look at how badly you hurt Aunt Qin’s hands. She didn’t even think of suing you in court. You should know that Aunt Qin’s hands are insured for a sky-high price…”

Gu Nianzhi turned to look at Wen Shouyi. “Sky-high price insurance?”

“Yes,” Wen Shouyi tugged at the bandage on her injured hand and said softly, “Aunt Qin is one of the top three neurosurgeons in the world. Of course, her hands are worth the sky-high price of compensation.”

Gu Nianzhi smiled. “That’s not too bad; at least money is not lost.”

Wen Shouyi frowned. “Gu Nianzhi, how can you say that? Aunt Qin has been so kind to you. In all these years that you were not around, even though Aunt Qin didn’t say it, she still misses you very much…”

Gu Nianzhi made a “Pause” gesture. “Stop. Don’t you feel guilty saying these things?”

Then she pointed at Qin Yaoguang, who was lying on the bed. “What part of her shows that she misses me?”

“I’ve been on the other side for so many years. She clearly knew about it, yet she ignored me.”

“As soon as I came back, she couldn’t wait to wipe my memory. After I stopped her fully, she pretended that I cut her hand.”

Gu Nianzhi’s words were very sharp. “I’m warning you not to do anything to me. Otherwise, I’ll make you pay for it.”

Qin Yaoguang raised her crippled hands and said unhappily, “I’m a brain surgeon. No matter how much I want act, I won’t risk my hands like that!”

“Huh, that may not be,” Gu Nianzhi whistled softly and said with a smile, “Whether or not you will risk your hands depends on what you can gain from it.”

“Aunt Qin will never be able to perform surgery again. What good will it do to her, as a doctor?” Wen Shouyi shifted a little on the hospital bed, a little further away from Gu Nianzhi’s long legs.

Gu Nianzhi sat on the single sofa, her long, straight legs almost stretching out towards them.

Qin Zhining felt that Gu Nianzhi was too overbearing, so he walked over to sit next to Wen Shouyi. He frowned and said, “Nianzhi, how can you talk to your own mother like that? You weren’t like this when you were young.”

Gu Nianzhi had refrained from rebuking Qin Zhining because Qin Zhining had no intention of harming her.

However, she still gave Qin Zhining a warning look and said, “Brother Little Ning, as a man, don’t interrupt a woman when she’s talking.”

Qin Zhining was dumbfounded.

Her words were so reasonable that he was speechless.

Gu Nianzhi looked at Qin Yaoguang. In the blink of an eye, she had found several ways for Qin Yaoguang could “benefit” from crippling her hand.

She counted with her fingers. “There are many benefits. First of all, if you hurt your hand, your Qin family’s strange memory-stripping surgery cannot be passed down. Naturally, it cannot be taken over by the state.”

Qin Yaoguang shook her head in amusement, she softly denied, “You really think everyone is as calculative as you. I’ve decided to hand this technique over to the state a long time ago. I’ve even picked out the trainees. Even if my hand is hurt, my mouth isn’t hurt; I can still teach them.”

Gu Nianzhi nodded. “That would be the best. But since you’ve injured your hand, the things you can teach have been greatly reduced. So whether or not you’re keeping this technique a secret, only the heavens would know about it, and only you and the ancestors of the Qin family would know.”

“Gu Nianzhi, why do you have to think so badly of people?” Wen Shouyi looked at Qin Zhining with an incredulous expression. She exchanged a glance with Qin Zhining and leaned her head on his shoulder with a wry smile.

Gu Nianzhi looked coldly at Qin Zhining’s stupid face of ecstacy and pursed her lips. She continued, “It’s not that I want to think so badly of people. It’s that someone’s so evil beyond my imagination. So I can only make normal deductions about you within the bounds of the law.”

She looked at Qin Yaoguang and stretched out a second finger, “Secondly, you set me up to act undoubtedly to show the He family that I’m not worth you treating me like a daughter. Imagine a person who wouldn’t hesitate to pull out a knife on her own mother. How could anyone believe that she was innocent in this abnormal mother-daughter relationship?”

Qin Yaoguang closed her eyes and said calmly, “You can say whatever you want.”

Gu Nianzhi stretched out her third finger, “Thirdly, if Professor He hadn’t returned in time, I would have been drugged and had my memory erased by you. My mind would have been blank, and like an idiot, I would have become your possession again.”

She recalled her extraordinary constitution and paused. She looked at Qin Yaoguang with a faint smile, thinking, “Is she doing this for my special body constitution as well?”

Qin Yaoguang opened her eyes and looked at her, saying very calmly, “Yes, you were born to save young master He’s life. You are his medicine, and your existence is only for his survival. “So don’t take yourself too seriously. You are just a medicine. The He family raised you only to treat young master He’s illness.”

He Zhichu turned his head and said calmly, “My illness has already been cured. And to me, Nianzhi is my savior, not a medicine. Aunt Qin, don’t be so harsh with your words.”

Qin Yaoguang looked at He Zhichu and her tone obviously softened. “Ah Chu, you dote on her too much. Jade is worth nothing without polishing it. If you dote on her, you’re harming her. Look at how impudent she is now. She has no manners at all.”

Gu Nianzhi suppressed the churning thoughts in her heart. She smiled and said, “Many people have donated their bone marrow to save lives, but no one thinks they’re inferior just because they think they’re just a cure.”

“Ms. Qin, don’t you think your thinking is weird? You really don’t sound like a normal person. As a kind-hearted passer-by, I suggest you see a psychologist. Maybe it’ll work wonders.”

Qin Yaoguang sneered. “A psychologist? Just because I don’t have any feelings for you as a mother, you’re slandering your own mother like this?”

“Why do you say that, Miss Qin?”Gu Nianzhi pretended to be very surprised, “You have to take medicine when you’re sick. It’s not good to avoid medicine when you’re sick. You’re a doctor too, why can’t you see this? Is it because it is difficult for doctors to cure themselves? Tsk tsk, it doesn’t really matter. You’re a brain surgeon, not a psychiatrist, right?”

Gu Nianzhi was full of sarcasm. Qin Yaoguang, who was extremely strong-willed, was almost unable to withstand it.

Her expression gradually turned cold. She looked away and said, “This is ridiculous. It’s not up to you whether I have a mental problem or not.”

“Of course not. I’m not a psychiatrist.” Gu Nianzhi wrinkled her little nose in amusement, “Actually, I was just making a suggestion. You’re reacting so strongly, it’s easy for me to assume that your strong denial is only proof of agreement.'”

“You’re really overbearing.” Wen Shouyi spoke up for Qin Yaoguang. “You’re saying everything; truths, falsehoods, the nice and the malicious words.”

“How could I? You think too highly of my ability.” Gu Nianzhi pretended to be modest, “Actually, there’s a fourth point. Just now, Wen Shouyi said that your hand is insured by a sky-high price, so although your hand is injured, you won’t suffer any losses. The one that will suffer losses is the insurance company.”

She smiled as she leaned over and said mysteriously, “Can you tell me which company insured you?”

“What do you want to do?” Qin Yaoguang was alert. “Don’t do anything rash.”

“Why would I do anything rash?”Gu Nianzhi spread her hands. “I just want to make a small fortune.”

“Make a fortune? Do you also have insurance?” Wen Shouyi asked curiously.

“I don’t have insurance, but I want to go short the insurance company’s stock.” Gu Nianzhi said confidently, “Mrs. Qin’s hands will be compensated at a sky-high price, so even if the insurance company doesn’t go bankrupt, it will certainly take some damage, and its profit will be greatly reduced. If it’s a listed company, its stock will definitely plummet by the end of the quarter. If I don’t short it now, am I going to wait till New Year’s?”

Qin Yaoguang’s eyes sparkled, but she quickly turned her head away and said expressionlessly, “Your thoughts are really vibrant.”

“It’s just not bad. You flatter me.” Gu Nianzhi cupped her fist and looked at the subtle expressions on Qin Yaoguang and Wen Shouyi’s faces. She clapped her hands and smiled. “Aiyo! I really underestimated you guys. You guys are already shorting that stock company’s stock, right?”

“Tsk tsk, On the one hand, by injuring your own hand, you don’t have to hand over your techniques. You’re also asking for sky-high compensation from the insurance company, and you’re shorting that insurance company’s stock at the same time. Ms. Qin, are you really a brain surgeon dedicated to medical technology?”

“I think you’re more like a trader who won’t wake early without benefits,” Gu Nianzhi said tentatively.

She had seen people who were truly dedicated to scientific research, such as Huo Shaoheng’s mother, Song Jinning.

Compared to her, Qin Yaoguang’s attitude towards scientific research was nowhere near.

Speaking of which, Gu Nianzhi smiled slightly, her big black jade-like eyes curved like crescent moons. “Then in order not to go bankrupt, that insurance company will definitely sue you in court.”

“Ms. Qin, as your daughter, lawyer Gu, let me give you a reminder. Stop short selling on the stock market immediately and don’t ask for too much compensation. Otherwise, you’ll be summoned to court. The insurance company will sue you for insurance fraud!”

She smiled as she looked at Qin Yaoguang and Wen Shouyi’s suddenly pale faces, and she said slowly, dragging her words, “Beg me quickly… or I’ll testify for the insurance company that you have both subjective motives and objective actions for insurance fraud. I’m the culprit of your injured hand!”

“Haha, you want to treat her as a stepping stone and kill three birds with one stone to ascend to the peak of your life?” Gu Nianzhi thought.

Lawyer Gu will make you lose everything!
