The Sweetest Medicine

Qiao Pan’er was extremely displeased. With anger and hatred, she turned her head and glared at Yu Gangan…

All these years, she had been pampered and spoiled, and everything she did, always ran smoothly.

But, in the last few days, not only did she fail to purchase Yueming Hall, she was ignored and humiliated on her first attempt at seducing a man.

Most importantly, all of this, was due to one small doctor – Yu Gangan.

As she looked into Qiao Pan’er’s hostile eyes, Yu Gangan blinked with confusion. Why was this woman looking at her so angrily?

Just because Fang Zhihan ignored her, what did that have to do with her?

Why did a woman have to make things difficult for another woman?

Qiao Pan’er took a few deep breaths to subdue the anger that was building up inside of her and said in a dull voice, “You must be proud and happy.”

Yu Gangan immediately said innocently, “No, I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

“People often say that an average person’s love is a form of compromise because neither of them can get what’s truly suited to them. Thus, their relationship is not strong enough to withstand any challenges. This so-called love will only end up fading and their compromise will only turn into tolerance. Eventually, the man will find someone better as soon as they get the chance,” Qiao Pan’er laughed in ridicule.

Yu Gangan understood what Qiao Pan’er was trying to say.

She was telling her not to be proud because Fang Zhihan was bound to leave her one day.

With a chuckle she replied, “If an average person’s love is a form of compromise, then your kind of love would be considered as an exchange or a business transaction. If that’s the case, then that’s even worse. At least, we can make our own decisions… Didn’t you deliberately invite that man for a dance because you wanted to annoy me? Weren’t you trying to prove that you could steal something that belongs to me? I find your actions very childish and ridiculous.”

Qiao Pan’er scoffed. She then said between gritted teeth, “Don’t tell me you’re like a pure lotus that grows out from mud untarnished. If you weren’t trying to suck up to the rich and powerful, why would you be here today?”

Yu Gangan laughed with amusement, “If appearing here means I’m trying to suck up to the rich and powerful, then what are you doing here?”

Qiao Pan’er choked on her words. Unsure of how to respond, she blurted without thinking, “I’m different to you.”

Yu Gangan furrowed her brows and asked for an explanation, “How? Do you have an extra shoulder or do you have one less leg? Or perhaps, have all your internal organs been eaten by dogs.”

What a sharp-mouthed woman! Qiao Pan’er decided to never waste her breath on Yu Gangan again. Someone like this, simply needed to be taught a lesson.

At that moment, Fang Zhihan returned with a plate of desserts.

He immediately sat down beside Yu Gangan, stabbed a fork into a pastry and placed it up to her mouth. He then asked, “Are you familiar with this woman?”

The pastry was sweet but not sickening; it was extremely tasty.

As Yu Gangan ate it, she gently shook her head, “No.”

“Don’t talk to someone you’re not familiar with,” Fang Zhihan replied in a cold and intolerant tone.

“OK.”

…

Qiao Pan’er clenched her fists tight. So tight that her blood vessels popped out at the back of her hands.

It took her a lot of effort to contain her emotions and not lose control.

“A bunch of cheap rubbish…” she began to say.

All of a sudden, Fang Zhihan looked up, his gaze contained an inconcealable coldness, forcing Qiao Pan’er to no longer make a sound from her gaping mouth.

A cold sweat covered her body and she began to uncontrollably tremble.

Unable to continue what she was saying, Qiao Pan’er sneered and left.

Who was this man?

Why did he feel so dangerous?

Qiao Pan’er ran towards the bathroom, hoping to calm herself down.

But, as she passed by one of the lounges, she noticed the door was slightly open and Lin Jiayu was standing inside.

So, she subconsciously stopped in her tracks and snuck a look inside while keeping herself hidden.
