Chapter 486: Not The Same Xiao Yu

Translator: Yunyi Editor: Yunyi

Elder Huang was stunned by Gu Chen’s sudden attitude. With slight confusion, he explained, “I was calling Xiao Yu.”

He then looked at Yu Gangan.

As Gu Chen’s gaze fell on her with surprise, Yu Gangan subconsciously remembered that Gu Chen’s daughter was called Gu Yanyu.

By calling her Xiao Yu, wasn’t he reminding him of his daughter?

Xiao Yu, Xiao You, Xiao Yoo...it was a common-sounding nickname. Yu Gangan looked at Gu Chen and smiled, “My name is Yu Gangan, I am Elder Huang’s assistant.”

[Lingling mentioned that Fang Zhihan’s girlfriend had the surname Yu.]

She was Xiao Yu, but not the same Xiao Yu.

Gu Chen laughed on the inside. His Xiao Yu was already back. How could he be suspicious of this young woman?

1In the second-floor living room, Gu Shuling was sitting on the sofa, wearing a set of sleeveless loungewear. Her right wrist was swollen with two clearly visible bite marks and the muscles around it were also swollen and slightly ulcerated.

It appeared as though she had been bitten by a venomous snake, but without timely control and treatment, the toxicity had spread.

But, where did a snake come from in the middle of winter?

Gu Shuling never imagined that one of the doctors seeing her would actually be Yu Gangan.

Her originally unhappy expression turned even unhappier. Her dark glare was so dark, it looked like her face had been splashed with ink.

She didn’t want Yu Gangan to see her in such a pitiful state.

She looked at Gu Chen innocently with slight blame. How was she going to live the rest of her life when her love rival saw her with such a swollen arm? Yu Gangan was going to treat her like a joke now.

Gu Chen froze for a moment.

He really didn’t think from the perspective of a woman. But, as a doctor, he was sure Yu Gangan wouldn’t ridicule her. Otherwise, it would be very unprofessional.

Indeed, Yu Gangan had no intention of ridiculing Gu Shuling.

She was simply wondering whether she should treat her.

Based on her relationship with Fang Zhihan, whatever she prescribed was bound to be suspected, and if it didn’t have obvious results, she was bound to be suspected again. In fact, if Gu Shuling’s condition worsened during the process, she would probably be blamed for doing it on purpose.

Helping Gu Shuling was a challenge.

Since Elder Huang was here, it was best for her to stay quiet.

——!

As it turned out, Gu Shuling was not bitten by a snake but by a mini poisonous lizard.

This poisonous lizard was a newly discovered species. It had big feet, a black, smooth body, and it was vicious but beautiful.

Gu Chen liked keeping weird animals; he had a variety of scorpions, frogs, etc. And, in his back garden, he kept this lizard.

Originally, it was kept in a heated glasshouse. But today, it was accidentally opened by Gu Shuling. As a result, the poisonous lizard sprang out and bit her on the hand.

The lizard released venom through its teeth, causing obvious burning pain and edema as well as erythema and ecchymosis at the site of the bite.

If left untreated, edema would develop rapidly and could spread to the entire limb within a few hours.

The symptoms from the bite of this lizard were very similar to the bite of a venomous snake.

After being bitten, Gu Shuling went to the hospital.

Lizards were commonly known as ‘four-legged snakes’ and had the nickname, ‘snake’s auntie’. So, bites from all cold-blooded reptiles like this were generally treated with snake antivenom.

Originally, Gu Shuling thought a night of rest after visiting the hospital would be enough.

But, when she woke up this morning, not only did the wound not heal, it became swollen and ulcerated.
