Chapter 108: Broken Legacy
Whenever her biological son was mentioned, Wen Jie would gnash her teeth:
“Why shouldn’t he be, when he is now the big star that he wanted to be?”
Jiang Tingxu knew a little about this matter.
Aunt Wen had hoped that Gu Ranzhi could inherit the mantle and become a doctor who saves lives and helps the injured.
After all, the Wen family had been practicing medicine for several generations. Up until now, only Aunt Wen and Gu Ranzhi were left.
If Gu Ranzhi did not become a doctor, the legacy of the medical family would be broken!
However, even though Aunt Wen often grumbled about it, she never really tried to stop him.
What was more important than what her child himself liked?
In her impression, Gu Ranzhi was doing extremely well in the entertainment industry. He even enjoyed a great reputation internationally.
With Mo Boyuan, one focused on music while the other focused on film and television. Now that the both of them were at the top of their respective fields, it could be said that they were advancing at the same time. The town wasn’t big enough to hold the two of them!
They were often used as a comparison, provoking a huge battle between the two fans.
Jiang Tingxu had not seen Gu Ranzhi in person for many years.
Therefore, it was lucky that she had entered the professor’s laboratory. Otherwise, god knows when she would have been able to reunite with Aunt Wen?
“Forget it, let’s not talk about that rascal anymore. My liver aches whenever I mention him.”
Seeing that Aunt Wen really was angry, Jiang Tingxu coughed a few times and laughed inwardly.
“Well, then let’s not mention him,” she said in agreement.
Wen Jie patted Jiang Tingxu’s hand:
“Daughters are indeed better. That rascal has never been as obedient and sensible as you, even since young. He’s simply a little rascal. He was spoilt thoroughly by your father!”
Even as she said that, there seemed to be something else in her eyes…
It was probably a hint of nostalgia…
At the mention of Father Jiang, Jiang Tingxu was silent for a while before she raised her head:
“Indeed, I was already very mature back then!”
Gu Ranzhi was five years older than him. When Father Jiang and Wen Jie met, she had only been three or four years old.
The two children had fought countless times for love and attention!
However, it seemed that she still had the upper hand. Aunt Wen doted on her back then and even bought her many little skirts. However, Gu Ranzhi ruined a few of them later.
Of course, that resulted in Aunt Wen chasing after Gu Ranzhi with a feather duster!
Now that she thought about it, her father, Aunt Wen, herself, and Gu Ranzhi – the few years that the four of them had spent together were some of the happiest moments of her life!
Unfortunately, such a blissful moment did not last long, they lasted for less than three years.
Father Jiang sacrificed himself, and she was picked up by the Mo family. What followed was the long separation from Aunt Wen and Gu Ranzhi.
…
“Yeah, it was as if it happened yesterday. I didn’t expect that in the blink of an eye, the two of you would have grown so big!”
With a ding, the elevator arrived and finally pulled the two of them back to their senses.
“We’re here. Let’s go.”
“Okay.”
“Don’t be nervous. I’m here.”
Jiang Tingxu pulled a long face:
“Aunt Wen, I’m not nervous.”
It was true!
However, Wen Jie clearly did not believe it. She whispered worriedly,
“After you enter, find a seat and sit down. Then, listen and watch. If a leader asks you a question, then you answer.”
Jiang Tingxu was feeling resigned. “Okay, I’ll remember all that.”
The one who was nervous right now seemed to be Auntie Wen, right?
The two of them pushed open the door and entered. Almost everyone who was supposed to be there had arrived. They were only missing a few leaders.
When Jiang Tingxu entered, she still attracted the curious gazes of many people.
“Who is this doctor?”
