Chapter 2141: Discussing Medicine, Ling Yuanzhou’s Confusion

The newcomer was none other than Mo Canglan.

Mo Canglan and Gu Huaijin were friends despite the age gap, so of course he had to come to Gu Huaijin’s engagement banquet.

Of course, besides attending Gu Huaijin’s engagement banquet, Mo Canglan’s main purpose was to see Gu Zhiqi and Gu Xiyue.

He just hadn’t expected Gu Zhiqi not to come back. Fortunately, Gu Xiyue did return; being able to find one of them was already great.

In fact, there wasn’t anything particularly important that Mo Canglan needed from Gu Xiyue and Gu Zhiqi; he’d mainly come to discuss medical skills with them.

So, the four–person chat group gained another member.

Previously the four of them had been chatting mainly about cultivation. With Mo Canglan joining, the topic shifted from cultivation to medicine.

At first, Mo Canglan only pulled Gu Xiyue into conversation, but gradually, Qiao Qingshu and Mo Weiran started asking one or two questions as well.

At that point, Mo Canglan realized that Qiao Qingshu and Mo Weiran also knew a bit about medicine, so the four of them launched into a discussion on medical skills.

The only one who didn’t know a thing about medicine, Lu Xingzhe, was mercilessly abandoned by the four of them.

However, Lu Xingzhe didn’t really mind. Since they weren’t chatting with him, he just grabbed a book from Qiao Qingshu and started reading.

The few of them sat together talking, the atmosphere very harmonious and relaxed.

Two tables away sat Madam Ling and Ling Yuanzhou.

As an internationally renowned Divine Doctor, Mo Canglan was already a natural focal point, and on top of that, Ling Yuanzhou had always admired him greatly, so Ling Yuanzhou’s attention had been fixed on Mo Canglan the whole time.

When he saw Mo Canglan walk over to sit at the table with Gu Xiyue, Mo Weiran and the others, Ling Yuanzhou’s brows knit slightly, confusion filling his eyes.

He couldn’t figure out why Mo Canglan would take the initiative to seek out Gu Xiyue and the other three.

He’d thought Mo Canglan would just exchange a few words with Gu Xiyue and the others and leave, but unexpectedly, he sat down directly.

During this time, quite a few people went over to strike up a conversation with Mo Canglan, but Mo Canglan responded to them very perfunctorily, if at all.

Yet his attitude toward Gu Xiyue’s group of four was different. Even from some distance away, Ling Yuanzhou could tell that Mo Canglan was partial to Gu Xiyue, and toward Mo Weiran and Qiao Qingshu, there was the kindly affection of an elder for younger juniors.

But why?

Why would Mo Canglan treat them that well?

Just because Mo Canglan was Gu Huaijin’s friend, and Gu Xiyue was Gu Huaijin’s biological younger sister?

But he hadn’t seen Mo Canglan be so mild and pleasant with Gu Xingruo and Gu Yuluo.

Ling Yuanzhou was filled with confusion. He sat there for a long time, his gaze drifting toward Gu Xiyue’s table from time to time.

After Madam Ling noticed, she followed Ling Yuanzhou’s line of sight and looked over as well.

Then Madam Ling also saw Mo Canglan, and the Mo Weiran and the others who were chatting so animatedly with him.

If the only ones chatting with Mo Canglan had been Gu Xiyue, Lu Xingzhe, and Qiao Qingshu, Madam Ling wouldn’t have felt anything particular.

But that brat Mo Weiran was actually chatting so happily with Elder Mo as well?

On what basis?

That brat used to be nothing more than one of her son’s tag–alongs. On what basis could he sit there chatting so happily with Elder Mo, while her own son couldn’t even get a word in without being disliked?

The more Madam Ling thought about it, the more irritated she felt.

"Yuanzhou, go over and greet Elder Mo," Madam Ling leaned toward Ling Yuanzhou’s ear and said softly.

Ling Yuanzhou frowned slightly at her words.

It wasn’t like he’d never greeted Elder Mo before, but Elder Mo had always disdained to respond. If he went over now, wouldn’t he just be inviting humiliation in front of everyone?

"I remember you used to get along quite well with Weiran. You haven’t seen each other in so long; go and say hello to him too. Besides, you’re the same age as Gu Xiyue and the others, and you all know each other. Just find some casual reason and you can sit with them," Madam Ling spoke again.

Ling Yuanzhou still remained unmoved.
