This realization made Guan Xue very angry. She stared at Nianyang with a cold smile, "What are you proud of? Is it just because you’re physically fit? In my view, you’re just muscle-bound!"
Don’t forget we’re doctors, and what matters is dical skill. I’ve heard, you co from the countryside, right? Your dical skills rely entirely on reading books, that’s really pitiful!"
Following behind Guan Xue were several girls who fawned over her status, and they chid in like a chorus.
"Exactly, unlike our Snow sister who is a second-generation doctor. I’ve heard her ancestors were once Imperial Physicians, and she could diagnose a pulse at eight years old!"
"Really? Then this Gu Nianyang’s dical skills definitely can’t compare to our Snow sister. Who could possibly match up to her!"
Guan Xue was smug, casting a critical glance at Nianyang,
"Did you hear that? My dical skills are the best, you’d better keep your head down and stop overstepping!"
Nianyang slightly curled her lips, "Yes, Miss Guan, you’re the most impressive. You might as well be Hua Tuo reincarnated."
Though the words were seemingly flattering, Guan Xue felt uncomfortable as if Nianyang was mocking her.
It felt like punching a pillow, and Guan Xue, face flushed from anger, said,
"Hmph, acknowledging your limitations is what’s best!"
Guan Xue stord off, planning to think of a way to publicly humiliate Nianyang to get back at her.
He Huixi ca over with a bottle of water next to Nianyang, "Nianyang, don’t listen to Guan Xue. She’s just conceited because her mom is the head of the dical association, and even if you don’t asure up to her, that’s okay. She’s been learning dicine since childhood, so you definitely can’t compete."
Nianyang looked curiously at He Huixi, surprised by her change in attitude, as she usually disliked her.
Nianyang wasn’t convinced that He Huixi had really changed, so she distanced herself and said, "He Huixi, just talk normally."
He Huixi suppressed the glint in her eyes, slightly smiled, "Nianyang, I know about your connection with the Chu Family now. I didn’t realize you were the real eldest Miss of the Chu Family, and Chu Huan was just an impostor. I apologize for my prior misunderstandings."
He Huixi, being the daughter of the He Family, ranked second among the three major families, was naturally aware of the Jiang Family’s major reshuffle and the recovery of their long-lost daughter. Her parents checked casually and found the related details.
Now since Nianyang is Chu Zhan’s real sister, He Huixi, who likes Chu Zhan, naturally wants to win Nianyang over.
Thus, she swallowed her disgust and proactively approached Nianyang.
Nianyang wasn’t surprised that He Huixi knew about this matter. She gave a polite smile, regardless of whether He Huixi was sincere in her words, she just went through the motions.
He Huixi said softly, "Nianyang, rest assured, I know you don’t want this publicized. I won’t tell anyone. I just want to be friends with you."
Nianyang said lukewarmly thanks, and since He Huixi didn’t get the warmth she expected, she was sowhat unwilling and said, "Nianyang, we’re friends, right? When will you invite to your place?"
Nianyang asked oddly, "Why does being friends an you have to visit my place?"
He Huixi replied, "Or you could co to my place, and rember to bring your brother along. Let’s have a gathering."
Oh, after all the talk, the real intention is to get close to her brother, Chu Zhan!
