The Sweetest Medicine
chapter-158

Lu Xuechen was at the hotel when he received a phone call from Yu Gangan.

Just before he received the call, he was in the process of verifying something. Inside the room, there was a gorgeous woman; she was enchanting, sexy, beautiful and stylish.

A woman like this, was the kind that every man liked and she was especially attractive as she squinched her eyes seductively at Lu Xuechen. But, Lu Xuechen glanced at her briefly with a complex mix of emotions.

She was enchanting, sexy and attractive; the type that he liked, but why did he not have the urge to get close to her? In fact, he wanted to push her away.

Previously, when he touched Lin Jiayu, he did not feel any discomfort like this.

Could it be that Lin Jiayu was a man…? Otherwise, why was she an exception?

What was he to do now? How was he to send this woman away without seeming suspicious?

He was the flirtatious playboy, Lu Xuechen. If people were to find out that he brought back a woman but couldn’t ‘do it’, wouldn’t he become a joke?

So, when his phone rang, the helpless Lu Xuechen immediately rushed over to pick it up.

As soon as he heard that Yu Gangan wanted to treat him to a meal, he quickly let out a sigh of relief and sent the woman in his room away.

But, the woman turned to him unhappily and whined, “Young Master Lu…”

Her voice was so whiny that it made one’s hairs stand on end. Lu Xuechen felt goosebumps all over his body. Who knew, when a woman was this whiny, not only was it not attractive, it was extremely annoying?

…

Yu Gangan ended up inviting her guests to Century Royal and sat at the same table that she sat at last time.

After the wine and dishes arrived, Yu Gangan raised her glass and said, “Thank you, everyone, for helping me and Yueming Hall get through this hurdle. From now on, if you need my help with anything, I will definitely do all I can to help you out.”

After speaking, she emptied the contents of her glass down her throat.

Without these people, a simple doctor like her with no support nor backing, would not have been able to resolve this matter so quickly and smoothly, even with the video that Auntie Zhang gave her.

She didn’t know why Fang Zhihan appeared by her side. She had asked him about it in the past, but after he refused to answer her, she never asked again. But, even though Fang Zhihan was black-bellied, he was a gentleman.

Any understanding person could tell that he wasn’t scheming anything.

Perhaps, he really did it for her: that’s why he supported her, resolved her problems and helped her get rid of her enemies.

Or perhaps, there was another reason.

But, she had a strange feeling inside her; a feeling that Fang Zhihan would never hurt her.

No matter what, she was extremely grateful towards Fang Zhihan, Lu Xuechen, and Lin Jiayu.

They helped her wholeheartedly, so she was willing to open her heart back to them. From that moment on, she was sincerely treating them as friends.

“I like your directness,” Lu Xuechen laughed as he also emptied his glass with one gulp.

After that, Lin Jiayu also followed.

But…Fang Zhihan did not.

Lu Xuechen looked at the man and asked, “Fang Zhihan, why aren’t you drinking?”

Fang Zhihan caressed his wine glass and curved his lips upwards, “I am family.”

Lu Xuechen scoffed in disdain. He then turned to look at Yu Gangan. She was in the middle of a conversation with Lin Jiayu; speaking softly and laughing gently as her gaze emitted an aloof vibe.

How did Fang Zhihan nab such a beautiful and pure woman?

After sighing for a while, he glanced at Lin Jiayu; the cold and quiet ice beauty. When he entered earlier, he purposely brushed past her, but he did not sense any discomfort.

Since that was the case, did that mean he was simply uncomfortable with the woman earlier because he wasn’t familiar with her?
