The Rebirth of an Orphan

Zhao Xihua nodded and said, "Oh, this is what I promised him before. It doesn't matter. We can just pay him according to Yuncheng's salary standard every month."

"Miss, Mr. Gu has something else for me to convey to you."

Zhao Xihua didn't expect that Gu Lun would make another request. He was simply asking for more. His requests were endless.

"What's going on now?" Zhao Xihua asked angrily. She was a person who had lived a second life, and there were almost no people who could make her lose control of her emotions. Only Gu Lun could make her anxious.

Uncle Lin didn't dare to hesitate any longer. Although he felt that the request made by Mr. Gu was a bit excessive, he was still a man who could help the young lady, so he should have some ability.

He looked at Zhao Xihua cautiously and said, "Miss, Mr. Gu said he was tired of living in a hotel. Since he works as a financial officer in the Chinese medicine clinic you opened, he asked to live in the clinic as well, saying that it would be convenient for him to work and they could take care of each other.

"How can this be? This is not allowed." Pingshui blurted out, her face flushed with anger. Although the man saved her sister, she was still an unmarried woman. What if she lived with a strange man for no reason and outsiders gossiped about her? How would her sister get married in the future?

Zhao Xihua's face became colder and colder. She knew that this person would not let her go easily. She didn't know why she was always involved with her. For the first time, she felt a deep sense of powerlessness in her heart.

She felt a little headache, sighed and said, "Uncle Lin, go rent a single room near the store for Mr. Gu to live in, and tell him that it is not appropriate for a single man and a single woman to live together, as it is easy to cause trouble."

Uncle Lin was about to say something when Pingshui interrupted, "Since you're renting a separate house for Mr. Gu, why not rent one farther away? I always feel like this guy treats my sister a little strangely, so it's better to be on guard."

Zhao Xihua couldn't help but smile bitterly to herself. Even a stranger could see that there was something wrong with that man. He was indeed a person who did not play by the rules.

If we drive him far away, they will definitely use other tricks to harass us. Besides, the Ling family still needs his help to deal with all the unnecessary disasters.

"Uncle Lin, go to Mr. Gu and tell him what I meant just now. If he still won't give in, tell him that at worst I, Zhao Xihua, can leave Yuncheng. There will always be a place for me in this big world."

After Uncle Lin left, Zhao Xihua wanted to rest, but he didn't feel sleepy at all, so he went to the study room and started reading the medical book given by Sun Xiao.

In her previous life, she also found a lot of medical books in the Sun family's study and often provided free medical treatment to the Sun family's servants. The servants remembered her kindness and sometimes secretly sent her some food.

It’s sad to think about it, Tang Tang, a young lady of the Sun family, was bullied to that extent.

She had experience in treating illnesses in her previous life, and now she has the most famous master in Kyoto to teach her. She believes that this Chinese medicine clinic will be able to succeed.

But all things are difficult at the beginning, and there are still many things that need to be prepared. Things are complicated to begin with, and unexpectedly, the entangled Gu Lun pops up.

I didn't have any memory of seeing him in my previous life. This person is the biggest variable since my rebirth.

"Sister, sister, the young master is here." There was a sound of footsteps outside. At this critical moment, the young master could come, which showed that he was on my sister's side. Pingshui's heart, which had been in a knot, finally settled down.

Zhao Xihua couldn't help but smile slightly, and a warm feeling rose in her heart. She had a conflict with the Ling family, and Sun Xiao's arrival made her feel a little more at ease.

She straightened her clothes and walked towards the living room. From a distance, she saw the gentle and handsome man standing in the middle of the living room, smiling at her steadily.

Sun Xiao looked at the girl who was slowly walking towards him, the dim light illuminating her beautiful face. Such a big thing had happened, but she didn't even say a word to him. What a proud and indifferent woman she must be. At that moment, Sun Xiao felt his heart beating.

Zhao Xihua quickly walked up to Sun Xiao and greeted him enthusiastically: "Young Master, you are here?"

Sun Xiao responded and looked at the woman in front of him, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. His health had improved a lot during this period, and many family affairs needed him to slowly take over from Sun Cong.

His younger brother has controlled the Sun family for a long time, and he needs to work hard to regain his power. Recently, he went to Kyoto for an important matter, but he didn't expect to hear the news that Zhao Xihua offended the Ling family as soon as he returned to Yuncheng today.

"How are you? Are you okay?" Sun Xiao raised his arm and gently supported Zhao Xihua. The warmth of his touch made his heart even softer.

Zhao Xihua said hurriedly, "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine."

Sun Xiao didn't expect that even at this point, she was still fine. This girl was too stubborn.

"I'm glad you're okay." Sun Xiao withdrew his arm and sat on a chair in the living room.

Zhao Xihua hurriedly followed and calmly poured a cup of tea for Sun Xiao. Sun Xiao picked up the cup and took a sip, then put the cup down and sat down. The two of them seemed somewhat peaceful at this moment.

Sun Xiao thought about it and continued to ask: "I heard that someone close to Young Master Deng saved you?"

Zhao Xihua thought this question was a bit strange. If she was concerned about him as a friend, shouldn't she ask how she offended the Ling family? Why did she care so much about Gu Lun? Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked her for confirmation.

"Yes, it was Mr. Gu who was with Master Deng who saved me." Zhao Xihua said directly.

Sun Xiao clenched his hands, nodded slightly and said, "You have been in Yuncheng all your life, and you don't know the complicated relationships in Kyoto. Although the Deng family is also a big family, Mr. Deng's aunt is the wife of the second branch of the Ling family."

Zhao Xihua was stunned. She knew that Ling Qian had a younger brother with congenital defects and was weak. He was still alive today because of Ling Qian's relationship and the help he gained from seeking medical treatment everywhere. She didn't expect that the aunt of the Deng family was actually Ling Ziye's aunt.

Since the Deng family and the Ling family are related by marriage, why would Gu Lun, who is beside Master Deng, stand on her side? Isn't he afraid that Master Deng will be angry?

Unless this Gu Lun is a reckless person who is fearless and unafraid of anything, he is not afraid of Master Deng's criticism at all.

Sun Xiao saw that Zhao Xihua's face changed because of fear, and hurriedly raised her hand to hold her hand, but she put her hand down again to pick up the teacup. If she was attracted to this girl, but if she was not interested, it would not look good if she forced her.

"You don't have to worry too much," Sun Xiao said with a faint smile, "Although the Sun family is not a family of meritorious service, the Ling family is also a reasonable family. I guarantee that you should be safe, but you'd better stay away from the man next to Master Deng."
