Chapter 4: No matter if you’re a celebrity, get out and join the bookmark vote

Gu Weiguo said, “Tang Xiao, since you want to relearn martial arts, what about traditional Chinese medicine? Do you want to learn that too?”

Grandpa Gu used to be a traditional Chinese medicine doctor but retired due to health issues.

When Tang Xiao was little, he had memorized some traditional Chinese medicine texts with Grandpa Gu.

Gu Weiguo really liked Tang Xiao.

Tang Xiao was very smart, with exceptional comprehension skills, which was quite different from his fierce granddaughter.

At his old age, having such a smart and kind young person willing to learn traditional Chinese medicine from him made the old man very happy.

Since Tang Xiao went to the Tang family, he hadn’t had much energy to balance both martial arts and traditional Chinese medicine.

Pleasing others is actually very exhausting.

Tang Xiao was excited: “Grandpa Gu, is it okay? Can I continue learning traditional Chinese medicine from you?”

Gu Weiguo smiled brightly: “Of course you can.”

Learning some knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine may not mean becoming a doctor, but it can help handle many emergencies.

Grandma Deng was getting older, so learning a bit could help take better care of her.

When he was at the Tang family, Tang Xiao had used his medical knowledge to save someone.

After his rebirth, Tang Xiao planned to live a completely new life.

He wanted to firmly grasp what was truly important yet often overlooked!

At Jiang’an City First Hospital.

The tall and beautiful Tang Jie walked into the hospital wearing sunglasses, exuding a cold demeanor.

Tang Jie was the second sister of the Tang family and also Tang Xin’s older sister.

Last night, she was out for a shoot.

Tang Jie was known for her cold and stunning beauty, making her a somewhat famous star in the industry.

The sound of her high heels clicking on the hospital floor was in stark contrast to the sickly patients, drawing many curious glances.

While on the phone, she walked toward the inpatient department.

“This matter, Xiao Jian told me about it. Without even thinking, it’s definitely Tang Xiao’s fault! Dad didn’t do anything wrong.”

Tang Jie was on the phone with Tang Xin.

“Hah, Gu Xiaoxin, you’re too naive. He’s just pretending. He wants to take advantage of our family; I’ve seen plenty of people like him!”

After learning about this incident, she was very angry.

She felt Tang Xiao was being too much.

Among the four sisters, Tang Jie had the closest relationship with Tang Zijian, so she disliked Tang Xiao the most.

She even felt that Tang Xiao had taken away too much love from Tang Zijian.

In the past, Tang Xiao had colluded with outsiders to bully Xiao Jian, which made Tang Jie hate him even more.

She came to the hospital intending to deal with this little ingrate personally.

Tang Jie was cursing on the phone: “He’s just an ungrateful wolf. Hmm, I’ve already arrived at the hospital. Just watch how I deal with him…”

A doctor nearby frowned and reminded her, “This is a hospital; could you please lower your voice!”

“Uh… Sorry. Gu Xiaoxin, I’ll hang up for now.”

Tang Jie tried to act nonchalant, wanting to maintain her composure, which was typical behavior for a star.

But since this was a hospital, everyone found her annoying.

Tang Jie arrived at the room where Tang Xiao had been.

But the person in Tang Xiao’s bed had already changed.

Confused, she asked the doctor who had just been there.

“Doctor, where is Tang Xiao from this bed?”

The doctor looked at Tang Jie with a blank expression.

“Who are you?”

“I’m his family member.”

The doctor chuckled.

“You’re his family? Didn’t you know he was discharged?”

“Discharged? When did he leave?”

“He left yesterday.”

Tang Jie immediately became furious.

She took off her sunglasses and shouted:

“Your hospital is too chaotic! Completely irresponsible! How could you not notify us family members when a patient is discharged? How can you let patients leave at will!”

The doctor didn’t hold back either.

“Are you really his family? Not only did you injure him, but you also let him become malnourished. Now you don’t even know he’s been discharged. What kind of family are you?”

Tang Jie exploded on the spot.

“How can you, as a doctor, speak like that! Do you know who I am? Huh! Get your supervisor out here! I want to file a complaint against you!”

She was a celebrity!

At home and outside, who didn’t pamper her?

How dare you speak to me like this!

Tang Jie was definitely the one with the worst temper among the four sisters.

But the doctor had seen it all before and immediately called out.

“Security, take her out!”

In the hospital, no one cared if you were a celebrity; they promptly escorted Tang Jie out.

The onlookers in the hospital watched the spectacle with amusement.

Tang Jie was utterly humiliated.

Thrown out at the hospital entrance, she was surrounded by a crowd.

Her furious rage had completely stripped her of the cool demeanor she had when she arrived.

She slammed her expensive handbag in frustration.

“Ahhh!!! I’m so angry! That bastard Tang Xiao! I’m furious! Tang Xiao, I hate you!!!”

She immediately blamed all the mistakes on Tang Xiao.

Even though Tang Xiao was clearly the victim.

……

The next morning, Tang Xiao arrived early at Jiang’an No. 2 High School.

This was Tang Xiao’s high school.

Given the financial power of the Tang family, transferring Tang Xiao to an elite school would have been very easy.

But the Tang family initially wanted to keep a low profile, so they didn’t rush to transfer Tang Xiao.

Then, this matter was forgotten.

In the classroom of Class 7 in the third year, a sturdy little chubby boy warmly greeted Tang Xiao.

“You’re pretty early today, my son.”

“Hehe, your dad is in great spirits.”

The chubby boy, named Liu Zihao, was Tang Xiao’s best friend in high school.

The two of them always called each other “son.”

Liu Zihao looked at Tang Xiao with some confusion.

“My son, you seem… different today.”

“What’s different?”

“I can’t quite say… it just feels like you have more energy.”

“Wasn’t I energetic before?”

“Not really; you used to look so burdened and forced a smile. When I asked you what was wrong, you wouldn’t say anything.”

“Come on, that’s not true!”

“You don’t understand; as your dad, how could I not know you? But seeing you full of energy, I can relax.”

“I’m the one who’s your dad!”

Liu Zihao was average in studies and sometimes a bit offbeat.

But even careless Liu Zihao could sense whether Tang Xiao was happy or not.

Though Tang Xiao called Liu Zihao “son,” she felt quite touched inside.

“Childish!”

A girl’s voice came from the side.

Li Jia was distributing papers; she was the class representative for Class 7.

Li Jia had the typical aloofness of a class officer as she handed out two report cards to the two.

“Both of your grades have dropped this time. I hope you work hard and focus on your studies.”

Liu Zihao looked at his grades.

“Ranked 878 in the grade, I only dropped fifty places. That’s not too bad.”

Liu Zihao glanced at Tang Xiao’s grades and was shocked.

“Second in the grade? What the heck! Is that called a drop in grades?”

Li Jia stubbornly said, “Tang Xiao has scored first before, and since then has been second in the grade. Isn’t that a drop?”

“You didn’t even score better than Tang Xiao; how can you say she’s falling behind?” Liu Zihao defended his friend.

Li Jia adjusted her glasses with a sense of authority: “I’m the class representative, so I have to urge you to study.”

“Not listening, not listening, the turtle reciting scriptures.” Liu Zihao shook his head.

Li Jia was somewhat pretty.

But in Liu Zihao’s eyes as a struggling student, Li Jia had no charm; even the boys looked better than her.
