Chapter 230 -229: The One Who Saved You Back Then Was Not Her
Fang Zhuoran saw Ming Yao.
There was no trace of embarrassment on his handsome face from being caught in the act.
Instead, he walked up to Ming Yao and said with cold disdain, “Things obtained by force won’t last long!”
Having said that, he walked past her.
At that moment, Ming Yao wanted nothing more than to curse.
What’s wrong with this Young Master Fang? Is he sick?
The first time they met, he threw away the gift she gave him and spouted nonsensical words—was this the quality of a Young Master from a prominent family?
Ming Yao walked up to the trash bin and picked out the two boxes of exquisitely packaged tea leaves.
Jing Hang had gone through a lot of effort to buy these two boxes of Da Hong Pao, a rare variety of Wuyi Rock Tea with limited production.
Not to mention the high price, what mattered more was the thought she’d put into it.
To throw it into the trash in front of her was simply shameless!
Ming Yao took a deep breath, reminding herself that there was no need to get angry over a person who meant nothing to her.
Anyway, she wouldn’t stay here long and would be going back in a few days!
Reception room.
Old Madam Gu looked at the handsome and noble man before her, her usually stern face softened with an affectionate smile, “Has your relationship with Yaoyao been stable recently?”
Gu Siting hummed lowly in response.
“Stability is good. Later when Grandpa Shi comes over to check your Uncle Grandfather’s pulse, you should let him take a look at you, too.”
Gu Siting furrowed his brows, “What do I need to be looked at for?”
Old Madam Gu looked at Gu Siting with concern, “Don’t think Grandma doesn’t know about your heart condition.”
The so-called heart condition wasn’t a congenital heart disease, but rather a disorder caused by years of overwork, worry, and anger.
Gu Siting frowned, “It’s nothing serious, I have check-ups every year.”
Old Madam Gu knew that Gu Siting had an excellent medical team around him and that he likely wouldn’t encounter any serious problems.
But—
“Your Grandpa Shi once cured a Young Master’s infertility.”
Gu Siting, “…”
“You and Yaoyao have been married for more than two years, and she hasn’t gotten pregnant. Could it be that your kidneys aren’t functioning well?”
Gu Siting’s expression darkened.
Old Madam Gu wanted him to get his kidneys checked?
Seeing Gu Siting’s face turn sour, Old Madam Gu hurriedly added, “If you don’t want Grandpa Shi to check, I’ll ask the servants to buy more lamb whip and dishes like shrimp with Chinese chives—”
Gu Siting couldn’t bear to listen any further, interrupting Old Madam Gu, “Grandma, I am perfectly normal and healthy!”
Old Madam Gu, “Then why hasn’t there been any movement in Yaoyao’s belly?”
“Both of us are still young, and we don’t want to have children so soon.”
Old Madam Gu wanted to say something else, but a servant informed her that Old Master Shi and Shi Yuan had arrived.
The Shi Family and the Fang Family could both be considered elite families.
Old Master Shi had always been the preferred traditional doctor for the Fang Family.
“Go and keep Yaoyao company; I’ll go see how your Uncle Grandfather is doing.”
In Old Master Fang’s room, Old Madam Gu saw Shi Yuan.
“Grandma Gu.”
Old Madam Gu nodded, “I haven’t seen you for years, and Xiao Yuan has become even more beautiful and charming.”
Old Madam Gu was not a very affectionate elder; she was only kind to those she liked.
His attitude was mostly lukewarm towards others.
Shi Yuan curved her lips slightly, “Thank you for the compliment, Grandma Gu. You are still as young as you were back then.”
Old Madam Gu didn’t say anything more and turned her head to speak with Old Master Fang and Old Master Shi.
Shi Yuan stayed in the room for a while, then walked out when she heard someone calling her.
Fang Zhuoran pulled Shi Yuan aside.
In his eyes when he looked at Shi Yuan, there was joy and admiration.
“Yuanyuan, you have finally come back!”
Shi Yuan nodded, “Zhuoran, you mentioned last time that you had something important to tell me. What is it?”
Fang Zhuoran took out his mobile phone and played a video.
“A few days ago, I received an email. Isn’t this the scene of my aunt being almost buried by snow in Switzerland? I remember when I received the call and rushed to the Swiss hospital, my aunt was wearing this very outfit.”
“My aunt said it was Ming Yao who saved her, but it turns out it wasn’t Ming Yao, it was you!”
Shi Yuan glanced at the video, with her delicate brows slightly furrowed.
“I won’t lie to you. I also received this video a few days ago. It was sent by my junior, Ming Wan. She said she wanted to expose her sister’s true face.”
Fang Zhuoran nodded, “Yes, the person who sent the email said her name was Ming Wan. So, she’s Ming Yao’s younger sister?”
“Yes, though according to Ming Wan, Ming Yao’s relationship with her, and their parents, isn’t very good.”
Fang Zhuoran snorted coldly, “If she can’t even get along with her own parents and sister, no wonder she would shamelessly take credit for the act you did to save my aunt!”
Shi Yuan lightly bit her lower lip, a helpless smile appearing on her cold and elegant face, “Never mind. When I saved Grandma Gu, I wasn’t looking for anything in return.”
“How can we just let it go? Xiao Yuan, the position as Mrs. Gu was originally yours! I saw the lukewarm attitude Old Madam Gu had towards you earlier, and if she knew you were her true lifesaver—”
Fang Zhuoran hadn’t finished speaking when suddenly an old, authoritative voice came over, “What are you talking about?”
Supported by a servant, Old Madam Gu walked out from a corner.
Seeing Old Madam Gu, Shi Yuan seemed a bit startled. She shook her head and said softly, “Grandma Gu, it’s nothing.”
Old Madam Gu walked up to Fang Zhuoran and Shi Yuan, her stern face now even more severe and sharp, “Don’t think just because I’m old that my ears don’t work!”

Old Madam Gu reached out her hand to Fang Zhuoran, “Show me the video!”
After watching the video, Old Madam Gu was completely stunned.
In her youth, her romance with Old Master Gu had been cemented by a skiing trip in Switzerland.
After Old Master Gu had passed away, she liked to visit the place of their romance every few years.
Three years ago, despite her family’s objections, she went to Switzerland.
That day she tried to climb Snow Mountain, but unfortunately, she encountered an avalanche.
She thought she would die on Snow Mountain, and in her daze, it seemed someone was rescuing her.
But her eyelids were too heavy at that time; she couldn’t open her eyes at all, nor see who was saving her.
When she woke up next, she was already in the hospital.
The person by her side was Ming Yao.
She had always thought that the one who saved her was Ming Yao.
But after seeing the scene in the video, she realized how terribly wrong she had been!
“Grandma Gu, I heard that Ming Yao’s family was also vacationing in Switzerland that year. After Xiao Yuan saved you, she had to leave for an important matter, and Ming Yao just happened to take advantage. The real savior is Xiao Yuan!”
Old Madam Gu’s expression changed several times.
“Grandma Gu, who your lifesaver is, in reality, isn’t important. What matters is that you are healthy and safe. Now that Ming Yao has become Fourth Brother’s wife, let’s pretend we don’t know about this matter,” said Shi Yuan with an elegant voice.
Fang Zhuoran disagreed, “How can we just let it go? As far as I know, when Grandma Gu forced Fourth Brother to marry Ming Yao, he was resistant, but he respected her wishes because of his gratitude towards her.”
“Now that the truth is clear, they should get a divorce and let Fourth Brother marry someone who truly helps him!”
