Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space

Chapter 1232: Chapter 1232: Unexpected Incident

In Beijing, Gu Wanqing returned to the Gu Family with her son as soon as she received a phone call from her daughter.

After handing her son over to Old Madam Gu, she arranged for Aunt Zhang to be brought over as well, under the guise of having Aunt Zhang keep her mother company for some chatting and easing her boredom.

Afraid that her mother might become suspicious, she also claimed she wanted to redecorate her own small courtyard.

Old Madam Gu didn’t think much of it and let it go, as her attention was focused on Little Chaoyun, leaving no room for other concerns.

Regarding her husband’s and granddaughter’s trip to Sichuan, the deep, silent nights were the most torturous, but during the day, she didn’t show her worry, not wanting her daughter to worry.

Her granddaughter only called home to say she was safe, but with no news of her second son, she couldn’t help but feel disappointed, yet she never complained, as while she missed her son, she also worried about her husband and granddaughter, not wanting to pressure them with her words.

After Gu Wanqing arranged for the small courtyard to be tidied up, she personally went to the department store and hauled back a carload of things.

Busy throughout the day, she stared at the room she had arranged with her own hands, and was suddenly lost in memories.

Back then, both her big brother and second brother doted on her; now, she was finally about to see her second brother, but her big brother was gone forever.

For a moment, she felt very depressed, her eyes filled with hatred toward those greedy people.

Recalling another matter her daughter mentioned in her call, she felt a burst of pleasure. If that old bastard Xue Yishan knew that his long-term plans were all in vain, she wondered if he’d just choke on a peanut and die of rage.

On the train, Mr. Gu, mindful of the public setting, refrained from discussing inappropriate topics, yet the father and son had endless things to talk about.

Were it not for the concern of disturbing others at night, they might have talked all night.

Xinyan reminded them: "You’re about to see grandma. Do you want to go back with two black eyes?"

Already tired, the two settled down and quickly fell asleep.

Meanwhile, Xue Yishan’s pair of illegitimate children and their spouses were secretly being escorted back to Beijing.

While Xinyan was lost in thought, she suddenly heard an exclamation from the adjacent compartment: "Mr. Ye, what’s happened to you?"

Xinyan, with good hearing, was able to clearly hear the commotion from the quiet train compartment, even though it was next door.

Then came even more frantic cries: "Mr. Ye, don’t scare me! Doctor, attendant, someone come! Is there a doctor, help!"

The attendant heard the cries and came over, and soon enough the broadcast on the train sounded: "Dear passengers, we apologize for disturbing your rest. A gentleman in car number three is ill and urgently needs medical treatment. If there is a doctor on board, please lend a hand."

Xinyan got up from her bunk, grabbing her small backpack with her. Hearing the commotion, her grandfather and second uncle sat up: "You two continue sleeping; I’ll go see what’s happening."

Gu Yize was worried about his niece: "Dad, I’ll go with Yanyan."

He then quickly put on his shoes and chased after his niece, who had already walked ahead.

Mr. Gu had great confidence in Xinyan’s medical skills and wasn’t overly concerned.

When Xinyan arrived, a woman was flipping the patient’s eyelids.

The man standing next to her was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan: "Sister, how’s it looking?"

It was clear this woman was out of her depth, muttering a few things without a definitive answer. The man was slapping his forehead in frustration, a bit fiery: "This isn’t a joking matter; can you do it or not?"

The woman lost her temper too: "Why are you taking it out on me? I came in good faith to see if I could help."

Just then, Xinyan stepped closer: "Could you two step aside, let me take a look?"

The woman standing there was displeased: "What’s a young girl like you doing here?"

The man also issued a warning: "This is a matter of life and death—not for playing around."

Xinyan ignored them, directly moved them aside, and extended her hand to check the patient’s pulse.

After checking the pulse, she started to take out silver needles from her bag, saying: "Help me lay the patient flat; I’ll perform acupuncture."

The two, who had been moved aside by Xinyan, spoke simultaneously: "This is not a matter to joke about."

"You’re young, don’t fool around."
