Chapter 248: Chapter 248: The Beauty Trap

Huang Xiangwen had a sly smile on her face, with her words reaching this point, how could the old Huang Family not know what she was thinking? The two shared an unspoken understanding and already had a plan in mind.

A doctor who demands silver can’t be used, but one who doesn’t should not be wasted.

Tomorrow she would make a trip to Jisheng Hall and have them send a doctor over to the house to see Lei Qianqian.

...

Gu Youyou had never had much fondness for Yue Rujing, and ever since that day she let his blood, her dislike for Yue Rujing had only grown stronger, finding fault in everything with an overly critical eye.

He had just finished his work and was about to sit down for a drink of water to quench his thirst when she caught him again.

"Yue Rujing, have you sorted out the new herbs that came in?"

Oops, he had just finished unloading the goods; how could he have possibly sorted them that quickly?

It was obvious she was doing this on purpose, always waiting to catch him on something.

Yue Rujing endured and said with a forced smile, "Let me have a drink of water, and I’ll sort them right away."

Gu Youyou, holding the ledger in her hand, slammed it onto the table with a smack and angrily said, "I hired you to work, not to drink water. Immediately, right now, go do your work, or else get out of here."

Yue Rujing’s nose was so crooked with anger, but there was nothing he could do since his senior brother had said they had to win her over, regardless of whose person she was, they had to make her their own, or else he wouldn’t stay here and put up with this humiliation.

Heh... Angry, are we? Gu Youyou smiled smugly, unable to directly fire you, but I have ways to make you leave on your own, let’s see how long you can endure.

"I’ve been working like an ox or a horse; I should’ve gotten over my anger by now!" Yue Rujing muttered under his breath with a huff.

But the grudge over the bloodletting wasn’t so easily forgotten, despite Jin Zijin’s repeated assurances that there would be no next time, this didn’t change the fact that he had done it.

Gu Youyou chuckled and said, "You can’t handle it after just a few days, if I were you, I’d do whatever else I had to do, what are you sticking around here for?"

Yue Rujing thought to himself: Do you think I want to? Isn’t this because my senior brother said that women’s hearts are the softest, so I must show patience and sincerity?

Thinking of his senior brother made him angry. He talked a good game, but why didn’t he do it himself? All those years of using the beauty ploys to no avail proved that senior brother was all show and no substance.

Hmm, I wonder if using a beauty ploy myself would work.

As Yue Rujing’s thoughts turned, so did the expression on his face; one moment his nose was crooked in anger, the next he shook his head in melancholy, and now... why was he smiling so cunningly?

Gu Youyou watched him warily.

Yue Rujing’s peach blossom eyes formed narrow crescents as he smiled, bowing to Gu Youyou and saying, "Youyou, you’re right, this is all self-inflicted. I should, who let me accidentally take too much blood, right? Ow, look at these hands of mine, they’re just not accurate, I deserve it, I should be punished with hard labor."

Gu Youyou looked at him, puzzled.

"As long as it calms your anger, as long as we can go back to the beginning, as long as you give me another chance, even if I have to work like an ox or a horse for you for the rest of my life, what’s the harm?"

Gu Youyou watched him in horror.

Yue Rujing’s smile, one capable of enchanting all the women in the city, his voice dripping with honey, "Youyou, anything given by you, I will relish it!"

Damn it, what’s going on? Gu Youyou shuddered, breaking out in goosebumps.

He had taken the bait, he had bitten, Yue Rujing was smugly triumphant, bursting with joy.

He thought to himself: This method is simply too good, it can not only subdue Gu Youyou but also solve senior brother’s trouble, why didn’t I think of it earlier?

Just watch, senior brother, this woman is all too willing to make you a cuckold, unreliable!

His senior brother, he surely deserved better.
