Chapter 166: Chapter 166 This little physical pain is really nothing!

Liang Mao gave a dry smile, but said nothing more.

Gu Qiaoqiao grinned at the supportive Du Shuang, “Sister-in-law is right.” She then turned to Liang Mao, hiding the unusual color in her eyes, and spoke lightly, “Asking me for help would be a disservice. You might as well ask your childhood friend Choo Lan. She has pretty good connections around here, right, Choo Lan?”

Choo Lan was at a loss for words.

To say her relationships were poor was embarrassing; to admit they were good meant that Liang Mao, like an annoying plaster, would surely pester endlessly.

She darted a sullen glance at Gu Qiaoqiao and said, “It’s not like you said. The relationships are just average.”

Liang Mao naturally didn’t believe her.

He wasn’t unaware of Choo Lan’s family background.

And the local people probably knew it too, so currying favor was definitely a given.

However, it wasn’t good to press her too urgently.

Impatient, Du Shuang started to leave, pulling Gu Qiaoqiao with her.

Liang Mao was a stranger to her, and she wasn’t inclined to meddle in his troubles.

As Du Shuang pulled her by the hand, Gu Qiaoqiao smiled at her, thinking how foolish she must have been in her previous life to have quarreled with someone as good as Du Shuang.

She couldn’t help but sigh internally.

Some people don’t need to be reborn. They are naturally smart, know what they want, and can distinguish good from bad.

Just like Du Shuang.

A loving marriage, a harmonious family, although there were minor conflicts, that was normal.

And some people need to face setbacks and hardships again and again before they gradually mature.

Just like herself after the age of twenty-four in her previous life.

Watching Du Shuang decisively pulling Gu Qiaoqiao away, Choo Lan also pretended to hurry and said, “Then I’ll leave first.”

Speaking thus, she didn’t wait for Liang Mao to respond and quickly followed the other two.

The rendezvous point with the logistics department’s driver was at the grocery store.

And the grocery store was just one street away from the guest house.

By this time, Choo Lan had caught up.

Turning her head back, Gu Qiaoqiao saw Liang Mao still standing at the entrance of the guest house.

But he was already chatting and laughing with a nearby waiter.

Small stones were everywhere along the roadside.

The three of them walked side by side.

Suddenly, Gu Qiaoqiao said, “Go ahead without me, sister-in-law. I’ve got sand in my shoe. Don’t wait for me; it would be bad if the driver can’t wait for us. I’ll catch up with you later.”

Du Shuang suspected nothing, nodded her head, and continued walking.

She was also anxious, cursing her soft heart for complicating an originally simple plan of splitting up.

Hoping they wouldn’t keep the logistics department’s driver waiting for long.

Choo Lan glanced at Gu Qiaoqiao squatting down and pursed her lips, then followed Du Shuang around the street corner.

Without hesitation, Gu Qiaoqiao pinched a stone, and with a thought, hurled it at Liang Mao’s knee from a hundred meters away.

The distance was considerable, and Gu Qiaoqiao was not even facing him directly.

She wasn’t sure.

But she wanted to give it a try.

To her surprise, the stone, carried by a fierce force, accurately hit Liang Mao’s knee.

He cried out in pain and collapsed to his knees with a thud.

Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t hear the sound; as she turned around the corner, she looked back and saw from a distance that Liang Mao at the guest house door had dropped a notch.

It turned out he had knelt down in her direction.

Gu Qiaoqiao curled her lips upward, he deserved it!

A man who follows Choo Lan’s words to harm an innocent girl is nothing but scum!

She briskly walked toward Du Shuang with a cheerful step.

As for Choo Lan, that would come later.

Meanwhile, Liang Mao was kneeling on the ground, the pain in his knees causing him to collapse with a thud.

The sudden turn of events startled the nearby waiter, who quickly rushed to help Liang Mao, only to see blood streaming from under his nose.

He hurried inside to get him some tissues.

Liang Mao sat on the ground, rubbing his knee, looking around the empty surroundings, no one was nearby.

But he had just felt a sharp pain in his knee, which made him unable to resist falling.

It couldn’t have been someone hitting him.

Could it be that he had developed arthritis?

Thinking this, he stood up, covered his nose, and limped with the waiter’s help to the hospital.

By this time, Gu Qiaoqiao and the others were already on their way back.

On the return trip, the truck’s bed was loaded with a lot of stuff.

Choo Lan directly entered the driver’s cabin of the truck, which only had two seats.

Gu Qiaoqiao, sitting in the bed of the truck, watched Choo Lan’s arrogant demeanor and coldly smiled, “I’ll let you jump around for a while first.”

Du Shuang and Gu Qiaoqiao were quietly talking and laughing, and they arrived at their destination quite quickly.

Gu Qiaoqiao straddled the railing, ready to step off using the truck’s tire.

Choo Lan also pushed open the door of the driver’s cabin.

As one of her legs touched the ground and the other was just about to lower, Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes shifted slightly, and the stone in her hand accurately hit Choo Lan’s knee.

Just like Liang Mao, Choo Lan screamed and collapsed directly onto the ground.

Du Shuang was the first to jump down from the truck. She reached out to help Gu Qiaoqiao but was caught off guard by Choo Lan’s scream.

Gu Qiaoqiao quickly said, “Sister-in-law, go and see what happened to Choo Lan, don’t let her get hurt.”

Saying this, Gu Qiaoqiao stepped on the tire and lightly leaped to the ground.

At that moment, Choo Lan had already been helped up by the driver and Du Shuang.

Du Shuang complained, “Did you numb your leg sitting inside? The driver’s cabin is not as comfortable as the back of the truck. Be more careful when getting out. Look, your face is all scraped up. Go quickly to your medical room and apply some medicine…”

Choo Lan was taken aback and hurriedly endured the pain in her knee to pull out a small mirror. A beauty always cherishes her own face, and seeing it scratched and bleeding, she no longer cared about the pain and said with a pained expression, “Sister-in-law, I’m going back to the hospital.”

“Choo Lan, can you walk?” Du Shuang hadn’t let go and asked with some concern.

“Sister-in-law, you go back and cook for Xiao Bao. I will take Choo Lan to the base hospital,” Gu Qiaoqiao came over and said to the visibly conflicted Du Shuang.

After thinking for a moment, Du Shuang let go and hurriedly gave a few instructions before heading towards her home.

Once Du Shuang left, Choo Lan abruptly shook off Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand.

Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t mind and simply arched an eyebrow, knowing it would be like this.

In front of her, Choo Lan always maintained a sense of superiority.

How could she let her assist such a disheveled self?

Choo Lan gritted her teeth, wanting to lash out but finding no reason to do so since the driver, Xiao Wu, was still nearby.

“No need, I can go by myself,” Choo Lan said, then limped toward the direction of the base hospital.

The driver Xiao Wu quickly caught up, “Doctor Choo, let me take you.”

“Will it delay your work?” Choo Lan asked with rare gentleness.

This was the flower of the base, and Xiao Wu was naturally willing to help, and it really wouldn’t delay his work.

Thus, Xiao Wu and Gu Qiaoqiao helped her into the truck, and it headed toward the base hospital.

Gu Qiaoqiao stood still, her expression calm. Compared to the humiliation she suffered in her past life, this mere physical pain was nothing.
