Chapter 883: Gu Zhaoming Cheated Money

Editor: Henyee Translations

Relieved to know that the Godly Doctor had intervened, the Gu family found solace.

The First Hospital in the capital was under the Ji family’s management, led by Ji Linbai, their heir.

Upon Old Master Gu’s admission, Ji Linbai promptly sent his diagnosis to Gu Jin. Learning that Gu Jin would perform the surgery as the Godly Doctor, Ji Linbai swiftly organized everything, offering his assistance and requesting to observe.

Gu Jin usually accommodated reasonable requests from her subordinates.

In the afternoon, when the Gu family arrived at the First Hospital, they received news that Old Master Gu’s surgery had been successful, and he was now stable. He was expected to regain consciousness soon.

The fifth elder made sure to acknowledge Gu Zhaoming’s role, stating, “We owe this success to Zhaoming’s family.”

The second elder also praised Gu Zhaoming, saying, “It’s all thanks to Zhaoming.”

Gu Zhaoming had once left the Gu family and hadn’t returned to the capital for many years. The second elder, who had supported him during those times, felt vindicated and pleased.

Upon Gu Zhaoming’s return to the capital, the second elder’s demeanor towards him grew notably colder and more distant than before.

The other family members harbored various concerns.

Initially worried that Old Master Gu might not wake up, and apprehensive about potential accusations regarding the Family Head’s condition, Old Madam Gu’s anxieties shifted upon hearing the news of his recovery.

“By the way, where is the Godly Doctor? They’ve done our family a great service, and we haven’t had a chance to express our gratitude in person,” Gu Shuzhi inquired of the doctor.

Having arrived early to meet the Godly Doctor, they hoped to establish a beneficial connection for both themselves and the entire Gu family.

The doctor replied, “The Godly Doctor has already departed after the surgery. Mr. Gu Zhaoming has settled the surgical fees. Payment has been made, and there’s no need for further thanks.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Shuzhi, Gu Shuxue, and the others felt a twinge of disappointment.

Meanwhile, the second elder addressed Gu Zhaoming, saying, “Engaging the services of the Godly Doctor is always costly. The Family Head’s well-being concerns the entire Gu family. Zhaoming, you shouldn’t bear this expense alone.”

“How much did you spend? Present the bill to the Council of Elders, and the family will reimburse the cost when the time comes.”

Gu Zhaoming remarked, “It was necessary. I spent 200 million, but it’s a small price to pay for Father’s recovery.”

Gu Jin’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Gu Zhaoming’s ruthlessness surprised even her.

While fees for the Godly Doctor’s services were substantial, they typically ranged from ten to twenty million yuan. Gu Zhaoming had multiplied this fee tenfold.

Gu Yang suppressed a smirk.

“Dad’s adept at investing for future gains. If he didn’t intend to seek reimbursement, he wouldn’t have disclosed the cost.”

Silently, Gu Pei nodded in approval at Gu Zhaoming.

In truth, Gu Jin was the Godly Doctor, and their family hadn’t contributed a single cent.

Nevertheless, Gu Zhaoming couldn’t allow his daughter to work for free. Besides, if there was an opportunity to gain more, why not seize it?

As expected, the more Gu Zhaoming resisted sharing the burden of the medical fees, the more others insisted on contributing.

Despite the exorbitant cost, given the Godly Doctor’s renowned reputation, no one questioned it.

The Second Elder, Fifth Elder, and others were determined not to let Gu Zhaoming shoulder the expense alone.

Gu Zhao’an, from the second branch, felt compelled to ensure his elder brother didn’t claim all the credit, stating, “Indeed, Big Brother. We are also Dad’s sons and must play our part in this matter.”

Gu Zhaoye, from the third branch, wasn’t keen on spending money. If his brother was willing to foot the bill, he would let him bear the cost alone, considering it amounted to tens of millions of yuan.

“Brother, you’re correct. It’s worth it for Dad to wake up, so…” Since you’re covering the costs alone, let’s stand behind you!”

Before he could finish, Gu Shuzhi intercepted him, twisting his arm forcefully.

Giving Gu Zhaoye a cold glare, Gu Shuzhi asserted, “So our third branch will contribute as well.”

Gu Zhaoye felt a pang of regret. It was his son who had agreed, but it was his money that would be spent!
