Chapter 70 Sending a Birthday Gift

Mo Anlin drove and soon arrived at the palace-like mansion of the Mo family. This was Gu Xinling's second time, and she had seen the world in her previous life, so she would not lose her composure. Gu Shaoyang was a child and was so excited. "Sister, it turns out that this is Brother Lin's home? It's so big! It's even bigger than the school I took when I was taking the elementary school exam!"

"Xiaoyang, we are here to visit today, so you can't be naughty. This place is so big, if you run around, your elder sister won't be able to find you." Gu Xinling took Gu Shaoyang out of the car, "And, you have to be polite when you are a guest. Do you understand?"

"Yeah!" Gu Shaoyang nodded, "Sister, I won't be embarrassed."

"Xiaoyang, it doesn't matter if you really want to be naughty for a while. Brother Lin is protecting you, and no one dares to blame you. Although Brother Lin's house is big, don't worry, you will definitely not be able to escape. If you enter this courtyard, it will be absolutely safe." Mo Anlin picked up Gu Shaoyang again.

Gu Xinling said, "Hey, you have an injury on your arm and you can't always exert force. If the wound collapses, I won't care about you anymore."

"You just say it, and every time you say you won't care about me, but you won't really ignore me." Mo Anlin smiled, "Xiaoyang, do you think if Brother Lin is injured, will your elder sister ignore me?"

"No!" Gu Shaoyang replied cooperatively, "This morning, my father and grandma were still talking secretly. They said that the eldest sister's medical skills are bizarre and they didn't know where the eldest sister learned them. Anyway, it's just exaggerating that my sister's medical skills are good. In the future, if you get sick or injured, I will ask my eldest sister to treat you."

Gu Xinling was speechless. He didn't expect Gu Yiming and the old lady would talk about her medical skills behind their backs. However, it is understandable. After all, her medical skills are outstanding. Mrs. Mo's words yesterday will definitely make the Gu family think more.

Mo Anlin first took Gu Xinling and Gu Shaoyang to the main hall. At this time, Mo Chengde and Mrs. Mo were sitting on the sofa drinking tea. After all, it was too early and no guests came over yet! The rest of the Mo family were also in the living room. After all, it was Mrs. Mo's birthday, which was a big deal.

"Dad, mom, I'll take Xinling and her younger brother Xiaoyang first." Mo Anlin held Gu Shaoyang with one hand and held Gu Xinling with the other. If he was someone he didn't know, he would think that this was a family of three!

"Okay! Xinling is here, come in and sit in!" Mo Chengde was very enthusiastic, "This little guy is the young master of the Gu family! The little guy is quite energetic!"

"Uncle Mo, Mrs. Mo, hello!" Gu Xinling greeted.

"Uncle Mo, Mrs. Mo, hello!" Gu Shaoyang also learned the same words as Gu Xinling.

"Sit down! Don't be polite when you come." Mo Chengde touched the wife beside him with his elbow. Although he knew that his wife didn't like Gu Xinling, he hoped that she could give her face.

Gu Xinling knew that she could not go directly to see Mrs. Lin when she came. She had to say hello to the host in the living room first, or at least give her a polite greeting for a while.

Gu Xinling and Gu Shaoyang were both sitting on the sofa, everyone was looking at the two siblings, while Mo Zihui sat next to Gu Xinling excitedly, "You... are you the eldest lady of the Gu family? Gu Xinling? Is the one written in the newspaper?"

"Hui'er, don't be so rude." Mo Chengde gave Mo Zihui a wink.

Mo Zihui completely ignored her father, but continued to say to Gu Xinling: "My name is Mo Zihui. I am the only girl in the Mo family, and I am the youngest. Everyone in the Mo family pampers me! You can follow me today! If someone causes trouble for you, I will help you."

"Miss Mo, does it seem like I, Gu Xinling, are you bullied?" Gu Xinling smiled and said, "You are so interesting to speak! But, you are generous enough, you deserve to be a girl from a military family."

"Is that so? Am I generous? I like others to praise me for being generous the most. Unfortunately, others used to like me to be cute or beautiful. You are the first person to praise me like this." Mo Zihui looked very happy, and she immediately grabbed Gu Xinling's arm, "I'm reading the newspaper. My second brother likes you. When will you marry my second brother? When will you live here, we can chat often."

Mo Zihui's straightforwardness directly embarrassed Gu Xinling, while Mo Anlin said bluntly: "Mo Zihui, if you hope you can have a second sister-in-law as soon as possible, try to match your second brother and this Gu lady!"

"Second brother, she is more beautiful than Sister Siying of the Ye family. You did not choose the wrong choice!" Mo Zihui's words embarrassed everyone present.

Gu Xinling didn't know what Ye Siying was, but everyone in the Mo family knew that Ye Siying had liked Mo Anlin since she was a child. Ye Siying's father Ye Minghan was Mo Chengde's former mentor and the president of Normal University. Ye Siying's aunt was Mo Chengde's confidante Ye Jinxi, and more importantly, Ye Siying's father Ye Minghan was also a favorite student of Mo Anlin's grandfather. This relationship is complicated, and many people think that Mo Anlin and Ye Siying are the perfect match.

When Mo Anlin heard Ye Siying's name, he felt a little unhappy, "Hui'er, don't compare irrelevant people with your sister Xinling."

"Oh!" Mo Zihui nodded. Seeing that Mo Anlin was unhappy, she couldn't continue to say anything.

Mrs. Mo was very dissatisfied with Mo Anlin's attitude. Although she didn't like the young lady of the Ye family, she didn't like Gu Xinling even more. She simply asked Gu Xinling: "Miss Gu, I personally sent out dresses and accessories yesterday. I hope you can wear them today. I didn't expect that you actually looked down on the gifts I gave. It seems that I was abrupt yesterday!"

Gu Xinling knew that Mrs. Mo should have received a report from her family's spy, and now she was just unhappy and deliberately criticized her.

"Mrs. Mo, I'm sorry, it's because I didn't keep the clothes and accessories. I don't know if I've been ruined by some ignorant one. If I deliberately wear them, I'm afraid I'll lose my etiquette. However, my father had already checked last night, and it was afraid that the new maid Luo Yue was making trouble. Recently, only this maid has been added in the mansion, and there seems to be some evidence. If Mrs. Mo wants to pursue it, Xinling is willing to be punished with this maid Luo Yue." Gu Xinling deliberately emphasized Luo Yue. As soon as she mentioned this name, Mrs. Mo's expression was a little embarrassed.

"It's just a set of clothes! Mom, don't pursue it. Moreover, Xinling is wearing so beautifully and generously today. I think it's good, and there is no rudeness." Mo Anlin also helped to smooth things over.

What else can Mrs. Mo have? Gu Xinling has exposed Luo Yue. If she insists on pursuing the investigation, the eyeliner that she finally put in is probably kicked out of the Gu family.

"Well! It's just a set of clothes. If it's broken, it's broken! I'll send someone to give it to you another day!" Mrs. Mo could only find a way out and no longer pursue the issue of clothing.

Mo Anlin wanted to continue to smooth things over and help Gu Xinling please his mother, so he deliberately said, "Xinling, you have been holding this gift box all the way. I guess it was a gift to my mother, right?"

"Yes!" Gu Xinling handed the gift box with both hands, "Madam Mo, this is a gift made by Xinling himself. Please don't dislike it."

Mrs. Mo waved her hand and a servant took it over. However, Mrs. Mo did not mean to open it and check it out, but said lightly, "Miss Gu, please be polite."

Mo Zihui was curious, "Mother, take a look! I want to know what Miss Gu has made with her own hands? Did she eat it?"

"You know how to eat!" Mo Anlin poked Mo Zihui's forehead.

"It's not something to eat, what is that? Purse? Embroidery? Or doll?" Mo Zihui continued to guess.

Mo Chengde smiled, "Madam, just take it apart and take a look! It also satisfy Huier's curiosity. Actually, I really want to see it."

Mo Chengde spoke, but Mrs. Mo could only agree, "A Xiang, take a look!"

"Mother, I'll demolish it!" Mo Zihui volunteered.

Everyone looked at Mo Zihui with great anticipation, and even Gu Shaoyang opened his eyes wide because he didn't know what Gu Xinling gave him.

When Mo Zihui took out an exquisite bamboo sculpture, Mo Anlin was immediately happy, "This is so exquisite! Xinling, didn't expect you to have this skill?"

"It's just a few broken bamboo tubes tied together! It's too shabby!" Aunt Zhao said sourly.

Mo Ancheng also laughed, "This thing is worthless!"

"Transatisfaction and far-reaching! This word is engraved so beautifully!" Mo Zihui read the words on the bamboo carving and smelled them again, "It smells like Chinese medicine!"

"Yes! Miss Mo, I know that Mrs. Mo doesn't have a good sleep, so I put Chinese herbal medicines to calm the mind and help sleep. Putting this ornament on the head of the bed can help Mrs. Mo improve her sleep." Gu Xinling said, "The few small holes in the bamboo carving can emit the smell of herbs."

"How did Miss Gu know that I have a bad sleep?" Mrs. Mo couldn't help asking. If she put aside her prejudices towards Gu Xinling, she would like this gift quite well. "I seem to have never asked you to take a pulse!"

"Yes! Xinling, how did you know?" Mo Anlin also asked curiously.

"You will know by looking at your complexion." Gu Xinling said, "I am a doctor, and I am a basic skill in looking, listening, asking and touching!"

"Okay, this gift is not vulgar, it is much more elegant than those who give gold, silver or silk and satin." Mo Chengde smiled and said, "Xinling! That silly boy Mo Anlin always says that you have excellent medical skills, so please help me... help me see! See how I am in good health?"

Mo Chengde originally wanted Gu Xinling to try to take Mrs. Mo's pulse, but was afraid that Mrs. Mo would be unhappy and would make the atmosphere awkward, so he simply changed it to himself, "Come on, Xinling, don't you mind taking the uncle's pulse for free, right?"

Mo Ancheng and Aunt Zhao looked at each other, and both of them were unhappy. Gu Xinru had not come yet, but Gu Xinling was making the limelight in front of Mo Chengde. They thought that after Gu Xinru came, they would also let Gu Xinru show off.

"Yes!" Gu Xinling nodded, "Then Xinling will give you a safety pulse."

After Gu Xinling took the pulse, she found that Mo Dashuai had a strong body. "Uncle Mo's health is pretty good. I guess he pays great attention to exercise and health care on weekdays, right?"

"Yes! You're pretty accurate!" Mo Chengde smiled, still looking very gentle.

"However, there is one thing that Uncle Mo should pay attention to." Gu Xinling paused, "You may not have a particularly good stomach and intestines. Now there are only some signs. It is recommended that you drink less strong tea."

"Do you know I like drinking strong tea?" Mo Chengde's face was full of surprise.

"The caffein in tea will promote gastric acid secretion, increase gastric acid concentration, induce ulcers and even perforations. Your pulse is stable now, and your body is indeed good, but I still find that there are some minor problems with your stomach and intestines. Although you don't need to take medicine, you should also pay attention. Drinking tea is a health preservation, and drinking it right is very good for the body. But if you drink too strong, it is still not very good." Gu Xinling explained.
