"What are you talking about? I'll just call you Ji Ling. So what? Nyah nyah nyah." Gu Yangtao wasn't the least bit scared. Instead, she made a face at Ji Ling.
"You... You're being too much. Ungrateful! Have you forgotten who cured you every time you got sick when you were a kid?" Ji Ling slapped the table. This ungrateful little thing!
"Ji Ling, how dare you say that! You... You know very well how much it hurt when you gave me needles when I was a kid. I was in so much pain! How dare you even bring it up! Humph!" As cute as Gu Yangtao was, her pettishness could be quite scary.
"I... It was just a mistake." Ji Ling seemed to be at a loss for a counter - argument and started stuttering.
"A mistake my foot! You just weren't good at medicine back then. Humph!" Gu Yangtao was really angry. Bringing up that old shadow, who would have known that over the years, Gu Yangtao would always avoid hospitals.
It was all Ji Ling's fault!
"What did you say? Saying my medical skills are bad. You can say anything about me, but you can't say that about my medical skills. You're being too much, Gu Xiaotao!" Out of anger, Ji Ling's charming face looked a bit ferocious.
"I did say it. So what? I did, I did, I did."
Oh no, what should they do? Judging from the situation, it was getting tense and out of control. Gu Sisi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. What could she do? It seemed they were about to fight.
In a split - second, Gu Sisi made a decision. She looked at Gu Chenfei. She wasn't confident that she could persuade these two ancestors, so she could only rely on Gu Chenfei.
Gu Chenfei put down her teacup heavily and looked at Xiaotao and Ji Ling. Instantly, both of them fell silent, and their arrogant aura faded away.
It was really amazing. This was the only feeling Gu Sisi had as she witnessed this change with her own eyes. She didn't know how to express it. Gu Sisi really wanted to clap for Gu Chenfei. She had only seen this kind of skill in Huo Cheng.
She never thought Gu Chenfei would have it too. In this regard, she was really similar to Huo Cheng.
Gu Sisi, who inexplicably started feeling jealous and missing Huo Cheng again.
Sigh~
"What's wrong, Sister Sisi? Why are you sighing? Did what Ji Ling said just now scare you? Look, it's all your fault." Gu Yangtao punched Ji Ling.
"Ouch, how can this be my fault? It has nothing to do with me. Don't blame everything on me, okay? I'm so wronged." Ji Ling rubbed his arm painfully. He took a hit from Gu Yangtao. Unexpectedly, it hurt quite a bit. This girl really hit hard.
"Cough cough"
"Pfft"
The two sounds came out at the same time. Gu Yangtao and Ji Ling were both a bit stunned, and the atmosphere fell silent again.
The "cough cough" was from Gu Chenfei. She really couldn't stand these two idiots arguing in front of her. It was always like this. One would say something and the other would retort. Even the content of their arguments was similar. Gu Chenfei really didn't know where they got the interest to argue every time.
The first time she stopped them was because she saw Gu Sisi's pleading look. She had intervened inexplicably at that time. But this time, she was really angry. These two had been arguing for too long.
She couldn't bear it anymore, she really couldn't.
The "pfft" was from Gu Sisi. She really couldn't hold it in anymore. It wasn't that she couldn't stand their arguing. At first, she thought they were really in a fight. Seeing that they were about to come to blows was quite scary. But as she watched, she realized that they actually had a good relationship.
She guessed they were probably like "toxic friends". They would pick on each other as soon as they met, but their relationship was actually very good.
As for why she laughed, it was because Ji Ling and Gu Yangtao were really fun when they argued. They were like two kids. Especially Ji Ling. With his charming looks and the words he used to retort Gu Yangtao, there was an inexplicable contrast and cuteness. And needless to say, Gu Yangtao was originally like a child, and now she was even more so.
"Sister Sisi, you're still laughing. You don't even help me." Gu Yangtao stamped her foot and acted coquettishly. She was extremely pettish.
"Tch~" Ji Ling turned his head, looking like he didn't want to talk to Gu Yangtao.
"Humph~" Gu Yangtao also turned her head. They turned their backs to each other and didn't look at each other.
"Ji Ling, continue."
At the critical moment, it was still Gu Chenfei who stopped the situation.
"Miss Gu, you didn't really get drunk last night but fainted. It was because there was a hallucinogen in your body. When the hallucinogen mixed with alcohol, it made you faint. The principle is similar to that of sleeping pills. You just ingested a very small amount, so you only fainted. If you had ingested more, the result would have been different."
After Gu Chenfei spoke, it really had an effect. Ji Ling instantly became serious when he spoke.
"But why was there a hallucinogen in my body? And why did you, Mr. Ji, show up at my house to treat me?" Gu Sisi raised her doubts.
Ji Ling and Gu Chenfei glanced at each other, then Ji Ling continued, "That's because, for such a small amount of hallucinogen in your body, it could only have been ingested during your daily meals. Who could have added the hallucinogen to your daily meals?"
"It could only be someone from the Huo family. But who is it?" Gu Yangtao seemed even more curious than Gu Sisi.
After hearing Ji Ling's words, Gu Sisi fell into deep thought. She of course knew who it might be. Thinking carefully, it could only be someone in her own family. But who could it be? Sister Hua and Sister Hu were impossible. The others had been working in the family for a long time, so it was unlikely.
The food, the food... The chef! Yes, the chef!
Gu Sisi remembered that a new chef had just come to the family not long ago. She really liked the dishes made by this new chef and ate a lot at each meal.
After thinking of this, Gu Sisi told Ji Ling, "We just had a new chef in our family recently."
"After that chef came, did you eat a lot at each meal, Miss Gu?" Ji Ling seemed to be suddenly interested. He asked Gu Sisi with great enthusiasm.
"Yes, I ate a lot every time, more than my usual amount. I was even wondering if I would gain weight."
Gu Sisi answered truthfully. But looking at Ji Ling's expression, it seemed... more and more cheerful? Gu Sisi didn't know if she should describe it like this, but that's how it seemed.
Scary. This guy is a devil, Gu Sisi thought.
"That's right, Miss Gu. Bingo!"
Facts proved that Gu Sisi's guess was correct. Ji Ling was indeed full of excitement and, well, cheerfulness.
"So, what do you want to say? Are you gloating? Do you think I'll really gain weight?"
Gu Sisi held back her anger. This Ji Ling, with his charming looks, but his behavior was really annoying.
