Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman (1-200)

Chapter 172: Overestimating Yourself

Looking at the sleek pink car, Su Wen thought of Gu Xiqiao at this moment, though he squashed the thought down immediately in the next moment. How could it be her? Meeting her during that summer vacation was already a chanced fate, the world was big, how could he think it was her every time he saw a pink car?

Su Wen sighed lightly, and turned to Zhu Yuan again. “Doctor Zhu, the method that you talked about, will it really be able to save my grandfather?” This was his main concern now.

Even the doctors in America were unable to do anything, and everything they did didn’t help. Su Wen was already close to giving up when he bumped into Tang Qinghong, and the other party had managed to find Zhu Yuan for him.

Although Su Wen was not part of the medical industry, even he had heard of the name ‘Zhu Yuan’ before this. He didn’t expect that Zhu Yuan would come over and observe his grandfather for almost half a day, his face solemn the entire time.

“It’s one of the things that I’ve recently researched, but I don’t dare to say that it will work for sure.” Zhu Yuan had really learned a lot during his time in the labs at A University. Disregarding what he had learnt, those few advanced and bold pieces of research have managed to open his mind and broaden his horizon a lot more than he was previously.

If it wasn’t for Rong Feishuang’s sudden return, Zhu Yuan would definitely not have willingly left the labs of A University even a single step. Although he wasn’t good in other aspects, his talent in medicine was undeniable. After thoroughly studying the research that Gu Xiqiao had given them, he was able to draw his own inferences from it, and his thoughts were once again opened up even more.

The case of Su Wen’s grandfather was not the first in history, but there had never been a cure for it. Zhu Yuan had initially wanted to give up, but then he recalled a report that Gu Xiqiao had handed him before, and a flash of inspiration came to mind, a very bold one.

Hearing Zhu Yuan’s words, Su Wen’s hopes were dashed. His eyes drooped downwards, and just as he started to feel depressed, the pink car came to a slow stop in front of the gates.

Su Wen raised his head slightly, stunned. He didn’t dare to imagine that the person who was in it really turned out to be Gu Xiqiao, so he couldn’t react when the familiar stunning face came into view.

Her face was still delicate and elegant, a pair of clear, twinkling eyes looking right at him. When their eyes met, it felt like the only thing he could hear in his ears was the sound of his rapidly beating heart.

Zhu Yuan was speaking animatedly and teasing Gu Xiqiao, a smile on his face when he noticed from the corner of his eyes that Su Wen was in a daze, staring at the girl. His eyes sharpened into a glare immediately, stomping hard on Su Wen’s foot.

Such a little boy dared to fantasize about her, didn’t he see that even a playboy like him didn’t dare to flirt with her? Did Su Wen want to be cut down by Jiang Shuxuan?

Su Wen felt the pain shoot up from his foot, and was startled out of his daze, smiling for the first time in the past few days. “Miss Gu.”

“So this place turned out to be your home.” Gu Xiqiao didn’t expect that the world to be so small that she would end up meeting an old face. Seeing him made her recall the events that had transpired in Baixing Village, and although there were quite some twists and turns during that time, her face softened as she thought about it.

Su Wen, who had been anxious and tense, felt himself calm down after seeing Gu Xiqiao’s face. He couldn’t really pinpoint the reason for it, just that when he recalled the calm face in the raging fire, it gave him a boost of confidence and warmth.
