“I didn’t want to get involved with this matter, but since it happened at Yueming Hall, I have to take charge. I can’t allow her to waste Grandfather’s blood and sweat,” Yu Gangan expressed firmly.
Song Chabai peeked out again, like a doll, “Apart from releasing the video just then, we will also be calling the police.”
“Yu Gangan, must you be that ruthless?! Let me tell you, if you dare…” He Wanxin wanted to threaten Yu Gangan, but her father quickly cut her off angrily, “Shut your mouth!”
Without holding back, he threw a slap across He Wanxin’s face, “You little wench! You did something wrong, yet you haven’t learned your lesson. What happened to everything I taught you?”
This slap was much harder than Yu Gangan’s, so a blood-red handprint immediately appeared on He Wanxin’s face.
He Wanxin held onto her cheek and stared at her father in disbelief. With her pitiful red eyes, she looked at her father and cried painfully like a cuckoo 1 , “Dad!”
When Yu Gangan’s auntie saw how angry her husband was, she immediately comforted in a gentle voice, “Why are you being so angry? Xinxin was simply trying to cure someone and save them.”
But, the old man ended up directing his anger at his wife, “You’ve spoilt our daughter too much!”
He brushed his wife aside and gently said to Yu Gangan, “Your cousin was definitely in the wrong this time. Her skills have never been as good as yours. Otherwise, Grandfather would have never chosen you to be his inheritor. Yueming Hall will depend on you from now on.”
Song Chabai poked her head out again and said softly, “I don’t think this has anything to do with skill. This is a matter of conscience.”
The old uncle was unimpressed.
Yu Gangan couldn’t help but laugh.
She cleared her throat and looked at her uncle, “Grandfather was a doctor all his life and cured a countless number of people. Baiyang City aside, there’s not a single person in Nanzhen Street that doesn’t know him. He even paid out of his own pocket when he came across patients with financial difficulties. Grandfather is a good person, and I know you are the same, Uncle. That’s why you’re reacting so angrily…”
“That’s true, that’s true,” Yu Gangan’s uncle smiled. But, this smile did not reach his eyes.
“Everything I’ve done has been for the sake of Yueming Hall. This place was previously left with Wanxin because I was in the hospital, but now that I’m discharged and fine, don’t you think I should return, Uncle?” Yu Gangan asked with a slight smile.
He Wanxin stood to the side, trembling in anger. Teary-eyed, she cried out, “Dad!”
But, her father ignored her as he looked at Yu Gangan, “Of course.”
Yu Gangan clasped her hands in front of her chest and gently bowed, “Thank you, Uncle.”
The old man did not say anything else as he turned and left. Seeing this, Yu Gangan’s auntie quickly followed behind.
He Wanxin glared at Yu Gangan and pointed a finger at her. “Immediately delete the video!” she ordered.
She couldn’t feel at ease until she saw it was gone with her own eyes.
Yu Gangan lazily lifted her head and glanced at He Wanxin. She then asked questioningly, “When did I say I was deleting the video? Not only that, I never promised I wasn’t releasing it. Of course, if you don’t ruin the reputation of Yueming Hall or Grandfather’s image, then this video will never be released. Otherwise…”
He Wanxin’s eyes opened wide again, like she wanted to swallow Yu Gangan live, “Yu Gangan, what do you mean by that?”
Yu Gangan smiled leisurely, “It’s exactly as it sounds.”
