Chapter 1042: He Can’t Wait For His Sister to Be His Own
Editor: Henyee Translations
Shen Ran remained unconscious for a while, so Shen Qin handled the hospital admission process for him.
It was already late, so Gu Yang and the others didn’t return to school.
Gu Yang decided to head back to the Xiao family’s house. Gu Jin and Feng Jue accompanied her to the old mansion and waited until she was inside before leaving.
The next morning, Gu Yang visited the capital’s mental hospital.
Ji Minghui was surprised to see her. “Yangyang, no classes today?”
Gu Yang typically came to the hospital on weekends, but it was Monday.
“I got an exemption. No need for classes today. Director Ji, I want to take on some cases—the more, the better. Something serious, preferably.” Gu Yang was mainly looking to keep herself busy, not wanting to dwell on whether she was Wuyang.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
“That’s fantastic!” Ji Minghui couldn’t have been more pleased. His enthusiasm grew. “We’ve no shortage of patients here, but most are being treated already. However, none of us can work as fast as you. Honestly, having you here is like using a sledgehammer to kill a fly—it’s almost a waste of your talents.”
Gu Yang replied, “It’s fine. I’ll treat today as a free volunteer consultation.”
Given how expensive her usual fees were, Ji Minghui was quick to arrange patients for her once she offered to consult for free.
Gu Yang spent the entire day at the mental hospital, with Ji Minghui setting up a special office just for her.
In the afternoon, both Feng Jue and Gu Jin texted her, inviting her out for a meal, but she declined.
Later, when Ji Linbai came by to see Ji Minghui, he also brought food for her.
Opening the box, Gu Yang saw it was a set meal from the Cloud Room’s waterside pavilion—a favorite of hers from the last time she dined there with Gu Jin.
“Did Sister ask you to bring this for me?” Gu Yang asked Ji Linbai as she started eating.
Knowing he couldn’t lie to her, Ji Linbai nodded. “Yes, Boss said you liked it. She was worried you might skip a meal, so she asked me to bring it.”
Gu Yang smiled slightly. “Thank you.”
Ji Linbai, also a psychiatrist, could sense something was off with Gu Yang today. He had come to see her as a younger sister, thanks to his close relationships with Ruan Chu and Gu Jin. “Yangyang, Boss isn’t the best at showing her feelings, but she really cares about you. If there’s a misunderstanding, you should talk it out. Don’t keep things bottled up.”
Ji Minghui, noticing her nonstop work all morning and her repeated use of hypnosis for treatments, added, “That’s right. You’re a psychiatrist, too. Don’t just focus on other people’s mental health—make sure you’re taking care of yourself as well.”
Gu Yang nodded obediently. “OK.”
Ji Minghui then asked, “So, what caused the argument? Want me to analyze it for you?”
“No need. We’re not fighting. There are just some things I can’t figure out,” Gu Yang replied, feeling like there was nothing she could do but wait for the truth to reveal itself.
Meanwhile, at the Grass-Raising Internet Cafe, Gu Jin received a message from Ji Linbai. Along with it was a photo of Gu Yang eating, her head down in the food. Gu Jin’s usually cold and stern expression softened slightly.
Feng Jue, staring at his own chat with Gu Yang, noticed a flood of his unanswered messages. Feeling a bit down, he muttered, “Sister is clearly avoiding us.”
Cao Cuo, gently stroking an orange cat, calmly said, “The priority now is to find the person Shen Qin saw in the surveillance footage. The moment I saw her, my memory of Yangyang’s face became clear. That must be how Yangyang looked in the orphanage.”
Feng Jue frowned, glaring at Cao Cuo. With a sneer, he retorted, “So you think she’s my sister too? Fine, you can all go search for her. But I’ll stay by my sister’s side and protect her.”
He couldn’t help but inwardly think how much he longed for his sister to belong to him alone. Hmph!
What do you think?
