“Grandmother.” Gu Xiaotook a step forwards. Now that the camera was not filming, and Ji Yao was not here either, Gu Xiao no longer needed to pretend. “I know that you are not a bad person, but Grandma, Ji Yao may be lying to you.”

“What do you mean? What do you know?” Grandma Jin was shocked.

“Grandmother, I know that your child has gone blind, and I also know that you are looking everywhere to find treatment for him, but Grandma, Ji Yao lied to you.”

Gu Xiao said, “You can go and investigate. I am sure that you would be able to find out, because there is only one person in the whole world that could perform that kind of operation, and that doctor had injured his hand a year ago in a doctor-patient conflict, and is no longer capable of performing that operation.”

Grandma Jin’s expression immediately became serious. She stared directly at Gu Xiao, as if she wanted to see right through her.

“When they said they could help you, they meant that they could help you contact that doctor for theoretical treatment, and not for the surgical treatment. The success rate of others performing this operation is still zero even now,” Gu Xiao continued.

“Are you telling the truth?” Grandma Jin’s voice trembled.

“Grandmother, you can completely investigate on your own.” Gu Xiao was very calm.

Without hesitating, Grandma Jin found someone to verify this. It wasn’t long before she got the results, and it was indeed exactly as the girl in front of her had said.

When one was old, one would really become muddleheaded. If she was a few dozen years younger, how could she easily believe such words?

This Ji family really dared to deceive anyone! Grandma Jin sat up straight in anger.

“I understand.” Grandma Jin withdrew her assessing gaze, and said to Gu Xiao and Chu An, “Help me take down this mink fur coat and hang it up. They forced me to wear this kind of clothing, so it’s not the slightest bit comfortable.”

“All right.” Gu Xiao obediently took off her coat. Seeing that Grandma Jin was no longer putting on airs, she breathed a sigh of relief.

“Oh, that’s right. What’s your name?” Grandma Jin asked.

“Grandma Jin, my name is Gu Xiao.”

“Actually, I’ve always thought that Ji Yao is too scheming. By the looks of it now, though you’re from the countryside, perhaps you’re more suited for that boy,” Grandma Jin said.

Gu Xiao’s face instantly flushed red.

“Thank you, Grandma.” Gu Xiao hurriedly walked into the room with theclothes, and Chu An looked at how she was looking like a frightened rabbit, reciting “so cute” in his heart.

Who cared what others thought? In any case, in Chu An’s heart, he and Gu Xiao were a match made in heaven!

Gu Xiao kept thinking about the situation at the other two groups. She had settled the matter here, and Grandma Jin would not make things difficult for them in future.

But what about An Yang and Chen Li?

Although Lin Xue was already on Gu Xiao’s side, Chen Li and Meng Fei’s group…

In these few days that they had been together, Gu Xiao already thought of them as her good friends.

The reason why she was worried was because the old woman that Chen Li had been assigned to had a severe heart condition, and could not get angry.

Precisely because of this, Chen Li had to fulfill all of her requests. Chen Li and Meng Fei were in the same group, and when the time came, the show would definitely be edited to show Chen Li infuriating the elderly and drawing displeasure from the audience.

Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly heard a commotion outside, which was quickly followed by anxious shouts.

“Grandmother! Grandma, are you all right! I didn’t do it on purpose…”

Gu Xiao rushed out the door, and saw that the door to the suite opposite them was open. An old woman was lying on the ground, and Chen Li was crouched down beside her, looking very anxious, and close to tears. This attracted a great many people, and the production team was still filming.

“Chen Li!” Gu Xiao hurriedly ran over, “What happened?”

“Gu Xiao, it wasn’t me… it wasn’t me!” Chen Li was already so panicked that she could barely speak. She could only tug at Gu Xiao’s clothes and cry.

“Aunty Wang told us to fill her favorite cup with water. Aunty Wang’s late husband left it for her, and in the end, Chen Li didn’t hold it firmly enough and shattered it. That’s why Aunty Wang was angered to this extent,” Meng Fei said first.

The spectators were also spamming comments on the bullet screen at this moment.

[Chen Li killed someone!]

[This is such a valuable item; wasn’t she careful when she held it?]

[There’s really been a fatality. Chen Li won’t be able to pay for it even in two lifetimes, right?]

“It wasn’t me! It was you! You did it on purpose!” When Chen Li heard Meng Fei’s words, she suddenly flew into a thunderous rage. She rushed forwards to grab Meng Fei’s collar, and was pulled away by the people around her, “Aunty Wang saw it. It was you…”

“Don’t be noisy. She’s not dead yet.” Chu An realized the seriousness of the matter, and walked forwards. “Do any of you know how to perform CPR?”

Chu An glanced around, and not a single person nodded.
