Chapter 582: A Fresh Surprise From Her

"Of course. It’s been so long, we’ve been mentally prepared for a while now."

As Gu Hengzhi spoke, a bitter feeling welled up inside him. Over the years, his family had never given up their search for Gu Ke’er, nor had they stopped seeking out doctors and treatments.

They had been disappointed too many times. No matter the outcome this time, it couldn’t possibly be any worse. Gu Hengzhi had always been clear on that.

"That’s good. Hengzhi, we’re friends, so if there’s anything I can do to help in the future, don’t hesitate to ask."

"Thanks! Does this Divine Doctor have any particular preferences? Also, when are they available?"

There was nothing wrong with Gu Hengzhi’s choice of words. After all, in his mind, anyone capable of curing Chu Zhengwei’s chronic illness certainly deserved the title of Divine Doctor.

However, when Chu Yunze heard Gu Hengzhi say the words "Divine Doctor" and pictured Shen Nian, he couldn’t help but chuckle.

"What is it? Did I say something wrong?"

"No, no. It’s just that... you’ve met this ’Divine Doctor’ before, Hengzhi."

Chu Yunze deliberately emphasized the words "Divine Doctor" as he spoke.

"I’ve met them?"

Gu Hengzhi frowned and began to wrack his brain. ’Who could this Divine Doctor be that I’ve met and Chu Yunze also knows?’

"That’s right. To be precise, you saw them just a few days ago."

As Chu Yunze said this, he suddenly felt a surge of anticipation. He couldn’t wait to see Gu Hengzhi’s reaction when he found out it was Shen Nian.

"Saw them just a few days ago?"

Gu Hengzhi repeated Chu Yunze’s words, his mind already starting to turn.

But even as a certain idea began to form, Gu Hengzhi found it hard to believe.

Chu Yunze could see Gu Hengzhi’s disbelief. ’To be honest, if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I probably wouldn’t have believed it either!’

With that thought, Chu Yunze decided not to keep Gu Hengzhi in suspense any longer.

"Actually, the one who cured my grandfather’s chronic illness was Xiao Nian."

"Xiao Nian?"

The thought had indeed just crossed Gu Hengzhi’s mind, but he had pushed it away.

He never thought it could actually be her.

’Xiao Nian... it’s really her! That girl seems to surprise me more and more every time.’

"I know you must find it hard to believe, but that’s the truth. Actually, my grandfather’s hesitation before wasn’t because of you, but because of Xiao Nian. He didn’t want to cause her any trouble."

"I understand."

Gu Hengzhi hadn’t misunderstood Mr. Chu before, and now he understood his reasoning completely.

"You can rest assured. Regardless of the outcome, I promise this won’t cause any trouble for Xiao Nian."

"Okay, I believe you."

If anyone else had said that, Chu Yunze might not have believed them. But Gu Hengzhi’s word was his bond, so he had no reason to doubt him.

"As for the timing..."

"Now that I know it’s Xiao Nian, I’ll arrange the time with her myself. As it happens, I was already planning to take Fanfan to see his Sister Xiao Nian in the next few days."

Gu Hengzhi couldn’t help but smile as he pictured how happy Fanfan would be to see Shen Nian.

"I’ve heard a little about what’s going on with your family. I never would have thought your brother would take such a liking to Xiao Nian."

"I didn’t expect it either. I even suspected that Xiao Nian might be Ke’er... my sister!"
