The Sweetest Medicine

Su Zijing laughed helplessly as she said, “Yes, I’m aware of that and I’ve noticed that Gangan treats him like a normal person. But, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. Families like ours always care about matching statuses, so what’s wrong with hiding one’s identity?”

Lin Jiayu shook her head, “But, Gangan’s not the kind to…”

Su Zijing quickly cut in, “Neither of us think she’s like that, but we aren’t the one’s spending a lifetime with her. You don’t know how many girls hide their true selves for the sake of money. Then, as soon as they get married, they expose their materialistic nature. Some even kick their partners aside as soon as they find someone with more money. Men are the same. Just like…”

Su Zijing paused for a moment before she continued, “…your ex-boyfriend.”

Lin Jiayu held her breath.

Her cold eyes blinked, awkwardly hiding the sadness and pain she felt inside.

Su Zijing held onto Lin Jiayu’s hand and said, “I know you don’t want to talk about your breakup and you don’t want anyone to know the reason. I saw him when I visited Beijing last time. He’s already with the eldest daughter of the Xu Family.”

Lin Jiayu opened her eyes. She had already regained her composure. Her gaze wasn’t too cold nor too dull; it was emotionless like a silhouette, alone on the top of a snowy mountain.

Lin Jiayu opened her lips and said, “I came today to ask about Gangan’s matter.”

Su Zijing smiled slightly, “I can tell that you really care about her. You must truly think of her as a friend so you’re afraid Fang Zhihan will hurt her. But, Jiayu, from what I know, Fang Zhihan is a low profile person that never plays around with relationships. I’ve never even heard of him having a girlfriend. Since he’s willing to hide his identity, act as Gangan’s assistant, live in her little apartment and even marry her, he must truly like her. So, he definitely won’t hurt her. An outsider really shouldn’t intervene in a married couple’s matters. Whether they are deeply in love or doting, they are the only ones that can experience it and decide whether it’s sweet or bitter.”

“I understand.”

“Haohao likes Gangan and so do I. That’s why I often take Haohao to see her. You’ve spent some time with her now, so you should know that she is a smart woman who’s passionate and caring. No matter how a person puts on an act, they can never hide their true nature. Fang Zhihan’s speech and disposition are proper, he’s classy and introverted, and he walks around with an air of poise. Did you think she wouldn’t have suspicions and curiosities regarding her own husband?”

Lin Jiayu remained silent.

Of course not. Yu Gangan definitely had her suspicions and curiosities, but did she ask Fang Zhihan about it?

Or did Fang Zhihan lie to her?

Su Zijing was right, an outsider shouldn’t intervene.

“OK, Jiayu, stop worrying about them,” Su Zijing said as she took a sip of tea; her mouth was getting dry from all the talking. But, she suddenly remembered something, “By the way, I have something that I’d like you to tell Gangan for me.”

“What is it?”

“The Qiao Family seems to be interested in her clinic.”

Lin Jiayu furrowed her brows.

The Qiao Family?

Didn’t Qiao Pan’er’s family own plenty of hospitals already and weren’t they planning to expand to Beijing?

Why were they interested in Gangan’s little clinic?

After she left Su Zijing’s home, Lin Jiayu hailed a taxi and headed to a hotel to see her father.

As she sat in the taxi, she glanced at her phone and noticed a whole heap of messages via SMS and Wechat. It seemed, a lot of friends were concerned about her condition.
