Chapter 76: Chapter 76 It’s Time to See a Psychiatrist

    When An Junxi and Liang Huiyun arrived at the private hospital, Yue Xiaoyang and a few doctors were standing at the door to greet them. As soon as he saw Liang Huiyun getting out of the car, he said, "Aunt Liang, you look much better today than you did last night. Did you sleep well last night?"

    While asking, he cast a curious glance at An Junxi. The two of them were at each other’s throats last night, and today they came together. Moreover, judging by Aunt Liang’s expression, she seemed to be in a good mood.

    What exactly did An Junxi do to win the old lady of the Gu family’s favor so quickly?

    Seeing that it was inconvenient to ask in front of Aunt Liang, he decided to leave the questions for later. He could gossip about it later just the same.

    A few doctors greeted the old lady. Liang Huiyun greeted them politely yet distantly, and the group proceeded inside.

    An Junxi walked at the back. As they passed through the landscaped garden, she noticed Lv Jing standing behind a tree, watching them.

    To be precise, she was watching Mrs. Gu.

    An Junxi observed Lv Jing for a while. Although she couldn’t see Lv Jing’s expression clearly from such a distance, she was sure that Lv Jing must be feeling miserable.

    After all, she claimed that Mrs. Gu caused her sister’s death.

    An Junxi didn’t think much about it. Ever since their fallout at the coffee shop, she had kept her distance from Lv Jing.

    As they were about to enter another building, Lv Jing’s gaze finally shifted to An Junxi at the end of the line. She walked a few steps closer, uncertain, and confirmed that she hadn’t mistaken the person.

    How could An Junxi come together with Mrs. Gu? Logically, once Mrs. Gu returned, An Junxi should have been kicked out by the Gu family.

    How did things turn out like this, completely different from her expectations?

    Lv Jing’s eyes were filled with malice. Seeing them all enter the examination building, she followed them inside.

    They went up to the sixth floor. While Liang Huiyun was inside getting checked, An Junxi sat outside waiting.

    She looked down at her phone. She hadn’t been able to work for the past few days, and her colleagues frequently asked her about work matters in the group chat, to which she always promptly responded. She also had to keep an eye on gossip news about her and Gu Yikun, not daring to relax for even a moment.

    She still had a 25-year mortgage to repay. She had to secure her job!

    All An Junxi could hope for now was for the storm to pass quickly so she could return to work normally.

    While she was engrossed in her phone, a nurse came over and said, "Miss An, Nurse Chief Lv wants to see you. Could you please come with me?"

    An Junxi noticed that nearly an hour had passed. Mrs. Gu’s full-body checkup should be almost done. She didn’t really want to deal with Lv Jing, but since the nurse had so politely asked her, she didn’t want to make things difficult for her. She got up and said, "Okay."

    The nurse thanked her and, without taking the elevator, led her down the stairs to the fifth floor. Lv Jing was waiting at the stairwell.

    Why was this place so secretive? An Junxi felt guarded.

    After the nurse left, she first asked Lv Jing, "What do you want?"

    Lv Jing said, "An Junxi, you really didn’t heed my warning."

    An Junxi sneered, "Why should I listen to you?"

    "She killed my sister! An Junxi, aren’t you afraid? Sooner or later, you’ll be kicked out!"

    "Do you have anything else to say? If not, I’m leaving."

    Lv Jing grabbed her arm, her face twisted as she said, "An Junxi, what are you so smug about? When Mrs. Gu starts to torment you, you’ll be the one crying!"

    An Junxi was furious, "Do you need to see a psychiatrist? If you like Mr. Gu, go after him. Stop harassing others, and don’t act all righteous. Today, I came with Mrs. Gu. What about you? You don’t even dare go up to the sixth floor. You drag me here to mess around! How Mrs. Gu deals with me is my own business, stop worrying about it!"

    An Junxi shook off Lv Jing and tried to leave, but Lv Jing, like a madwoman, didn’t let go, shouting, "An Junxi, you ungrateful woman!"

    Seeing Lv Jing getting agitated, An Junxi hurriedly grabbed the stair handrail with her free hand, afraid she might accidentally fall down the stairs and get seriously injured, or, even worse, end up lying in a hospital bed for months.

    Lv Jing, seeing that she couldn’t hold onto An Junxi, pushed her with all her might, then turned and ran through the safety door.

    The sudden loss of balance made An Junxi scream. Fortunately, she was about to grab the handrail. Lv Jing’s push made her stumble down a few steps but she managed to steady herself. However, her arm hit the handrail hard, and her skin instantly turned red.

    An Junxi gasped for breath and slowly retracted her arm, blowing on the bruised area, as if that could ease the pain a bit.

    There were sounds of commotion from above. The safety door on the sixth floor was pushed open, and someone leaned against the handrail, looking down and asking, "Who’s down there?"

    An Junxi looked up at the person in a white coat and said, "I’m here."

    The person quickly called into the hallway, "Miss An is here!"

    The sound of footsteps got heavier, interspersed with the clicking of high heels. Afraid that her current state would cause a big scene, An Junxi tried to move her arm and stand up. She then noticed that one of her shoes had snapped a heel.

    It must have twisted earlier. Fortunately, her leg was okay, only a bit scratched.

    Annoyed, An Junxi took off her shoe. The doctors she had seen earlier came down to the fifth floor, and Liang Huiyun was among them.

    They were startled by An Junxi’s appearance and asked her what happened.

    An Junxi’s mind raced. Just as she was about to make up a small lie to gloss over the situation, Yue Xiaoyang bent down and picked up an ID badge from the floor: "Lv Jing?"

    An Junxi didn’t know how to respond: "Well... we were chatting here, and I accidentally fell."

    Liang Huiyun looked at An Junxi in her disheveled state with a face full of disdain. She averted her gaze and asked Yue Xiaoyang, "If I’m not mistaken, this Lv Jing is Lv Mo’s sister, right?"

    Yue Xiaoyang did not deny it.

    Liang Huiyun’s face turned cold, but she didn’t say much. She turned to An Junxi and said, "Aren’t you going to stand up? This is really unsightly."

    Yue Xiaoyang reached out to help her. An Junxi struggled to stand and said, "My shoe is broken."

    Liang Huiyun glanced at her shoe: "You call these cheap goods shoes?" Impatiently, she instructed a nurse to fetch a spare pair of slippers for An Junxi.

    An Junxi, who had been quite fierce to Mrs. Gu last night, was really embarrassed now. She didn’t dare to talk back to Mrs. Gu, accepting her disdain without rebuttal.

    The nurse brought new slippers for An Junxi and casually threw her broken shoes into the trash can.

    An Junxi’s eyes followed the nurse, her heart aching. Those shoes could still be worn for a while if they were repaired!

    Seeing An Junxi’s pained expression, Liang Huiyun snorted through her nose. An Junxi snapped back to reality, quickly adjusted her expression, and didn’t dare to look at the trash can again.

    Since she came with Mrs. Gu, showing reluctance over a pair of old shoes in front of so many people would only disgrace Mrs. Gu.

    An Junxi knew better, so when they went back up to the sixth floor, she didn’t refuse Mrs. Gu’s request for doctors to check her for injuries.

    Mrs. Gu liked to appear magnanimous in front of others. That was what the matriarch of the Gu family should be like, and it was best for An Junxi to comply.
