“And Gu Jin is just bizarre. Despite Gu Yang taking her ce and enjoying years of wealth, Gu Jin still lets her stay at home and share in the spoils. She even treats her with the same affection as her own sister.”
Upon learning about Gu Yang and Gu Jin’s true rtionship, Su Ziyun had been itching to voice her frustration about this.
If she were Gu Jin, she wouldn’t tolerate Gu Yang’s presence for a moment.
Su Ziyun’s unintendedments cut deep into Tong Jiayin.
Enraged, Tong Jiayin couldn’t hold back. “Enough!”
Startled by Tong Jiayin’s sudden outburst, Su Ziyun cautiously asked, “Jiayin, what’s wrong? I thought you didn’t like them either?”
Tong Jiayin sneered bitterly. “I may not like them, but I also don’t like discussing other people’s private matters.”n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om
With that, she turned and walked away.
Su Ziyun’s expression turned dark and somber.<div>
Tong Jiayin had been ustomed to praise and pampering since childhood, often unaware of how her words affected others.
She paid no heed to Su Ziyun trailing behind her, her mind racing with questions about why her mother had sent a driver to pick up Gu Yang.
Could it be that her mother suspected Gu Yang was her daughter? Was she now trying to bring her back to the Tong family, seeing how exceptional Gu Yang had be?
Tong Jiayin had been troubled by these thoughts for some time, so when she saw Tong Rao’s driver fetching Gu Yang, these suspicions surfaced subconsciously.
At the Tong Family Manor,
After Gu Yang stepped out of the car, a butler escorted her to find Tong Rao.
Earlier, Ji Minghui had briefed Gu Yang about the patient’s identity.
Tong Rao, head of the Tong family and twin sister to Auntie Tong Wan, awaited Gu Yang’s arrival.
The butler knocked on the door. “Madam, representatives from the Psychology Society are here.”
“Let them in,” came the woman’s slightly subdued voice.
After receiving Tong Rao’s permission, the housekeeper opened the door and ushered Gu Yang inside. “Miss Gu, please.”
The room was spacious, yet all the curtains were drawn, leaving the room dim and obscure without any lights on.
“Is the Psychology Society so casual as to rmend an 18 or 19-year-old girl?” Tong Rao questioned, leaning against the bed’s headboard with one hand supporting her head, scrutinizing Gu Yang.
Gu Yang remainedposed. As the youngest member of the Psychology Society, she was aware that her youth might raise doubts about her professionalism.
However, upon seeing Tong Rao, who bore a striking resemnce of 70% to 80% to Tong Wan, Gu Yang couldn’t help but feel surprised.
“Truly like twin sisters,” she thought to herself. If not for their differing styles, one might mistake them for the same person at first nce.
Tong Wan possessed a gentle demeanor, her features reflecting kindness and maternal warmth.
In contrast, Tong Rao, ustomed to her role as head of an aristocratic family, exuded amanding presence. Her eyes were sharp, her demeanor strong and authoritative, and her voice carried a weight that instilled a sense of respect and even intimidation in others.
But Gu Yang remained unfazed by the atmosphere.<div>
In her eyes, Tong Rao was now a patient, and she, the doctor. In the doctor-patient rtionship, the doctor typically held the upper hand.
Approaching calmly, Gu Yang drew open the curtains. Her voice was gentle yet devoid of any timidity. “Before my arrival, you must have learned about me.”
“If you truly believed the Society’s rmendation was superficial, you wouldn’t have arranged for someone to bring me here to the Tong family.”
Given Tong Rao’s status, she would have surely conducted due diligence on Gu Yang’s background before inviting a psychiatrist into her home.<div>
As the sunlight flooded the room upon the curtains opening, Tong Rao, ustomed to dim surroundings, found the brightness overwhelming. Shielding her eyes with one hand, she snapped angrily, “Who told you to open those curtains! Close them at once!”
