Chapter 1670. I hate people who question my professional expertise
Her lips had a faint hint of paleness. She looked at Qiao Xu and pulled a self-mocking smile, "You saw what happened today. He can’t always be by my side, watching and taking care of me every moment."
"No, Gu Junhao said..."
Her words slipped out, but she quickly stopped herself.
Xia Yumo caught what she said and raised her eyes curiously. "Gu Junhao?"
Qiao Xu realized she’d let it slip, but she didn’t show any signs of unease, and simply said,
"It’s Gu Junhang’s younger brother. We’re not very familiar with him. I just mentioned Gu Junhang’s name earlier and misspoke."
Xia Yumo didn’t doubt Qiao Xu, as the names Gu Junhang and Gu Junhao did sound quite similar.
She nodded her head, not paying any attention to the person Gu Junhao.
But she heard Qiao Xu say,
"Momo, with the advancement of science, your legs might not be unable to walk for a lifetime. You forgot, I’ve already reached a cooperation agreement with Auston. Perhaps it won’t be long before the medicine is developed."
She didn’t mention Gu Junhao, but her heart had already gone through countless thoughts.
Xia Yumo nodded and smiled, "Yeah, I believe you."
She didn’t want to undermine her confidence, but she knew in her heart that maybe she couldn’t wait for that day.
Even if she could wait, she had no reason to make Gu Junhang wait for her to stand up again.
Qiao Xu actually knew that Xia Yumo wasn’t holding high hopes for the medicine she and Auston were researching. Even she herself did not put all her hopes on Auston.
At this moment, in her heart, she believed more in Gu Junhao’s ability to solve the problem.
But thinking about Gu Junhao’s request...
Qiao Xu’s face turned pale, afraid that Xia Yumo might notice, she turned her face away, towards the window.
Not long after, Gu Junhang came back with groceries and started cooking himself. Qiao Xu, with things weighing on her mind, didn’t stay.
"You’re leaving already?"
Xia Yumo looked at her, somewhat reluctant.
"I just came to see you. Mo Qing and your two kids are still waiting for me to have dinner."
Xia Yumo mentioned her husband and children, naturally it was not polite to ask her to stay, so she sent her off.
As she left Xia Yumo’s house, Qiao Xu couldn’t stop thinking about Gu Junhao’s conditions, and then she thought back to Xia Yumo being humiliated by Xue Lan as a "disabled" person and being pushed off her wheelchair by that woman, and being looked at with strange gazes...
If...if she hadn’t blocked that knife for her back then, if...she hadn’t invited Auntie Wang to take care of her, if she hadn’t let Auntie Wang massage her...
All of this might not have happened.
The suffering Momo had endured, which she shouldn’t have gone through, was brought on by her.
Qiao Xu’s hands, hanging by her side, trembled slightly. A moment later, she called Gu Junhao, "Where are you? I have something to tell you."
The two met at a coffee shop in the city center. Qiao Xu had been waiting for a while by the time Gu Junhao arrived.
Due to the widespread spread of the pneumonia virus, there weren’t many people on the streets, in restaurants, cafes, etc.
"Sister-in-law."
Gu Junhao sat down in front of Qiao Xu with a smile at the corner of his mouth.
Qiao Xu glanced at him with a calm expression, pondering for a few seconds before saying,
"Can you really help Momo develop a cure?"
Gu Junhao raised his eyebrows, picked up the now-cold coffee on the table and took a small sip, then smiled and said,
"Sister-in-law, I hate people who question my professional skills."
