Chapter 148 : Seeing a Doctor

“Gu Mao, you’ve misunderstood me.”

Lu Yunxiang’s delicate hand rested on his chest, drawing circles suggestively.

“Actually, I’m a bit insecure and probably don’t match up to you. But I have a sister who is much prettier than me. If you see her photo, you’ll definitely like her.”

Gu Miao showed some interest and lifted his gaze.

“What does she look like? Is this some sort of ploy to get me interested?”

Lu Yunxiang searched through her phone and found a video of Lu Yunyao participating in a beauty contest.

Gu Miao was initially casual, but as soon as Lu Yunyao appeared on stage, his expression changed immediately.

He straightened up, clearly impressed.

This girl is perfect!

Gu Miao’s eyes lit up as he snatched her phone and replayed the video several times.

“Your sister is this beautiful? Definitely much better than you.”

Lu Yunxiang’s smile nearly faltered.

She forced a strained laugh, “Yes, my sister doesn’t have many talents, but her looks are quite exceptional.”

“If your family is sincere, you should be swapped out for her.”

Gu Miao jabbed at the screen, eager to pull the beauty out of the video.

Compared to the stunning Lu Yunyao, Lu Yunxiang was indeed lacking.

“I’ll let my sister know. She’s a bit shy and might not interact well with men.”

Gu Miao, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, narrowed his eyes in satisfaction.

“Young and tender is fine, I prefer them that way. It’s more fulfilling to train them myself.”

He assumed that the Lu sisters were sent by the Lu family as potential marriage prospects for the Gu family.

After all, he was getting older and needed to think about marriage.

Though the Lu family’s status was somewhat lower, Lu Feng’s youngest daughter was so alluring that just watching the video made him restless and ignited a fire within him.

If he could get this girl and marry her as a trophy wife, it wouldn’t be too bad.

“I’ll discuss it with my sister and get back to you, Gu Mao.”

Lu Yunxiang sighed in relief, secretly pleased.

Great, the bait is taken.

Her trip wasn’t in vain after all.

“Gu Mao, I’ll be heading back now.”

“Wait.”

Gu Miao called her back, shaking his drink. “You want to leave after barely drinking? That’s not how it works here.”

He forcefully grabbed Lu Yunxiang’s hand and yanked her between his body and the bar.

Lu Yunxiang panicked, almost screaming.

The bar was dimly lit, and everyone was too engrossed in their own activities to notice what was happening around them.

Gu Miao’s rough hands roamed indecently over Lu Yunxiang’s body.

She felt a level of humiliation she had never experienced before.

It was as if she had become the lowest, most degraded of creatures, to be toyed with at will.

She closed her eyes, repeatedly telling herself not to resist, not to resist. She still needed to use Gu Miao.

The next moment, she felt a coldness on her chest.

Gu Miao had poured his drink all over her.

“Let’s go. Have your sister come.”

Lu Yunxiang’s eyes widened instantly, filled with humiliating fury. Hatred surged through her heart.

She had sunk to this disgraceful level all because of Lu Yunyao.

She would make Lu Yunyao pay back a hundredfold for all this!

—

That night, as Lu Yunxiang was about to return to the Lu residence, the security guard blocked her way.

“What’s going on? Can’t I even go back to my own home?”

“Miss, the master has instructed that you stay out tonight. He has arranged a room for you, and here is your key card.”

Lu Yunxiang looked at the hotel key card handed to her, shaking with anger.

So, now that Lu Yunyao is here, she couldn’t even return to her own home!

Lu Feng, Lu Yunbei, every member of the Lu family had finally shown their true colors!

Since they had shown no regard for past kindness, she would not feel guilty about repaying their kindness with betrayal.

Taking the key card, Lu Yunxiang stormed away from the Lu residence.

That night, Lu Yunyao enjoyed a comfortable stay at the Lu family home.

Without Lu Yunxiang’s interference, there were no more secretive manipulations happening behind the scenes.

“Yaoyao, let’s have your brother take you to the hospital for an eye exam, and then I’ll take you back home.”

Lu Yunyao accepted their kindness without hesitation. “Alright, thank you, brother.”

“It’s no trouble.”

Lu Yunbei patted her on the head. “Let’s get in the car.”

Arriving at the best private hospital in Bei City, as soon as Lu Yunyao walked in, the nurse recognized her.

“Miss Mu? What are you doing here? Your follow-up appointment isn’t due yet.”

The nurse didn’t know that Lu Yunyao had changed her name and still called her by her old one.

Lu Yunyao realized that this was the same hospital she had visited before.

“My brother brought me here for a check-up.”

“Brother, I had my surgery done at this hospital. I think it was Dr. Hai who performed it.”

Lu Yunbei was extremely surprised. “Dr. Hai? He’s a world-renowned ophthalmologist. I barely managed to get an appointment with him today, and he personally performed your surgery.”

Dr. Hai was primarily based overseas, rarely coming back to China for consultations.

The Lu family had used their connections to secure an appointment with Dr. Hai.

To think that your eye surgery was done by Dr. Hai himself!

“What’s going on?”

“Yaoyao, who arranged for you to see Dr. Hai? Was it Wanqing?”

Lu Yunbei could only think of Ye Wanqing.

Who else but the Ye family in Sucheng could have such connections to invite an ophthalmology giant like Dr. Hai?

Lu Yunyao shook her head. “No, it was my husband who arranged the surgery for me.”

She wasn’t familiar with the medical field, so she didn’t know Dr. Hai’s standing in the industry.

“Your husband?” Lu Yunbei frowned.

He had met Yaoyao’s husband twice, and no matter how he looked at it, he seemed like an ordinary person.

Moreover, he had met many prominent figures in the circle, and he was certain that the middle-aged man was not from any prestigious family.

So how did he manage to arrange an appointment with Dr. Hai?

“Brother, aren’t we going to see the doctor?”

“Yes, let’s go now.”

Since Dr. Hai was available today, there was no reason to waste the opportunity.

Lu Yunbei took his sister to the VIP consultation room on the top floor, which was spacious and equipped with the latest ophthalmology instruments.

Dr. Hai recognized Lu Yunyao. “Qianqian, what brings you here today? Your follow-up is still half a month away. Are you feeling unwell?”

“No, I’m recovering well. My brother brought me here today.”

“Oh, and this is…”

Lu Yunbei introduced himself. “I’m Lu Yunbei from the Lu family.”

“Oh, it’s Mr. Lu.”

Dr. Hai was puzzled about when Mu Qianqian had become Mr. Lu’s sister. Did they have a relationship?

However, since it was unrelated to the medical condition, he wouldn’t pry further.
