Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart
Chapter 112: You know too much.

Chapter 112: 112: You know too much.

The fact that everything went so smoothly was completely beyond Wenjing’s expectations. She said, "I have to go back to the ward for my shift, and sister-in-law should also go take care of cousin. Oh, remember to drink the soup, it’s good for you."

Wenjing didn’t forget her purpose; everything revolved around this central idea.

"Thank you for your trouble!"

As Wenjing turned around, Gu Tong’s expression froze on her face, replaced by a chilling, bone-piercing murderous intent!

She glanced at the lunchbox, wishing she could poke a big hole in it. The original event had been pushed forward by three years! Could this be the butterfly effect?

Qiu Xue’s methods were always endless! She had to be prepared for any eventuality.

With that in mind, Gu Tong didn’t return to the ward but headed towards the third-floor internal medicine doctor’s office.

She pushed open the office door.

Gu Tong immediately spotted Cheng Bing biting into a sesame seed cake, devouring it hungrily. The latter blinked and exclaimed loudly, "Weren’t you transferred to the Specialty Pavilion Academy by Old Man Gu... How come you’re back? Impressive!"

Cheng Bing was Gu Tong’s closest friend in a past life, and due to certain personal reasons, they hadn’t seen each other for years.

In her memory, Cheng Bing was holding the position of director in internal medicine during this period.

Gu Tong subconsciously blinked, and upon seeing the younger version of Cheng Bing again, she was still a bit unresponsive.

"Did I get food on my face?" Cheng Bing asked unclearly with a sesame seed cake in her mouth.

Gu Tong laughed, "Your face is covered."

Cheng Bing wiped her face chaotically and realized she had been tricked, "Pfft, no, there isn’t!"

Gu Tong burst out laughing.

Cheng Bing, in a completely unladylike manner, cocked her legs while stuffing her mouth with sesame seed cake, "My dad always praised you for being well-behaved. He really should see what you’re like now—cunning and sly!"

"That’s because Uncle Cheng has a keen eye!" She and Cheng Bing grew up in the same Academy Courtyard, and their parents were well-acquainted.

Unable to out - talk her, Cheng Bing simply stopped bickering with her.

Suddenly, she recalled something and said, "By the way, is your Earl really seriously ill? Are you here to take care of him?"

"You know too much." Gu Tong made a silencing gesture.

Cheng Bing didn’t expect Gu Tong to admit it and widened her eyes, "Weren’t you not interested in him before...?"

Gu Tong was previously incredibly proud and wouldn’t admit it verbally, which was perfectly normal. But after being reborn, she naturally became more open-minded and said, "We’re married, so interest has to be cultivated gradually."

"Your enlightenment is quite high..." Cheng Bing gave a thumbs up, "But can this interest really be developed..." She wasn’t trying to dampen Gu Tong’s enthusiasm, but feelings are tricky things...

"I used to not like you as well, but after so many years, it just happens." Gu Tong criticized without using foul language.

"Come on, that’s going too far..." Cheng Bing lamented.

"I’m here to discuss serious business!"

Gu Tong didn’t continue with the verbal attacks but placed the lunchbox on the table, "Help me test it and see if there are any other substances inside."

Although Gu Tong spoke ambiguously, Cheng Bing understood the implication. Her eyes widened in shock, "Someone is trying to poison you..."

"Not sure yet!"

Gu Tong shrugged, speaking calmly, "My husband’s cousin! We never got along before, and today she suddenly brought me a pot of chicken soup. When something is out of the ordinary, there must be something strange!"

"Maybe you’re overthinking it..." Cheng Bing had lost interest in continuing her sesame seed cake. She unscrewed the lunchbox lid, "Perhaps the girl has had a change of heart. After all, you’re her sister-in-law, and there’s no real benefit in being at odds with you. Moreover, you have the Gu Family as support; there are advantages to it down the line..."
