After Transmigrating as a Scumbag Alpha, I Ended Up with the Movie Queen - Chapter 4
The private doctor came to Gu Nan’s room carrying a medical kit.
The doctor was a very ethical female Beta who had served the Gu family for nearly thirty years.
At this moment, when she saw Gu Nan sitting pale-faced on the chair farthest from the bed, while another pale-faced woman leaned against the pillows and half-lay on Gu Nan’s bed, she was not surprised.
She first smiled at Gu Nan, set down the medical kit she was carrying, and said, “Miss Gu, who should I examine first?”
“Please examine Miss Shen first. I’m fine.”
“All right. Miss Shen, please relax. I’ll examine you now.”
The doctor moved very quickly. She took all kinds of medical equipment out of the kit and began examining Shen Zhibei.
Shen Zhibei shrank back slightly, but after seeing that everything being taken out was proper medical equipment, she still forced herself to relax.
In the Gu family’s home, she really had no sense of security.
“Miss Shen was given an inducer, and the inducer has not been completely expelled from her system yet. She also did not get proper rest last night, and her nerves have been tense the whole time, which has caused some disorder in her pheromones. Physically, there aren’t any major problems, only some stomach trouble,” the doctor said with a frown.
After saying that, she took an ampoule filled with medicine from the medical kit and spoke gently to Shen Zhibei. “Miss Shen, next I’ll give you an injection of a soothing agent to help you expel the inducer. The soothing agent needs to be administered for seven consecutive days. During this period, it would be best not to come into contact with any Alpha pheromones, because even a little pheromone could easily induce your heat.”
Shen Zhibei lowered her eyes and said softly, “Does it have to be an injection?”
“This is also for the sake of your health,” the doctor coaxed gently.
Shen Zhibei weighed it for a moment and felt that, with her skills as a film empress, she should still be able to pretend she was not afraid. Only then did she nod in agreement.
“Relax, Miss Shen. My technique is very good. Miss Gu knows this. At first, she was also afraid of injections, but because she couldn’t feel any pain when I gave them, she slowly stopped being afraid.”
The doctor spoke softly, distracting Shen Zhibei’s attention.
“I’m not afraid,” Shen Zhibei said stubbornly.
But the tremor in her voice still exposed the fact that she was afraid of injections.
Gu Nan never would have expected Shen Zhibei to be afraid of needles.
Seeing Shen Zhibei staring fixedly at the needle in order to prove she was not afraid, looking as if she was about to faint at any moment, Gu Nan could not help saying, “There’s nothing wrong with being afraid. Stop looking at the needle.”
With that one sentence, Shen Zhibei finally had an excuse not to look. She immediately retorted at Gu Nan, “I’m not afraid. The doctor clearly said just now that you’re the one who’s afraid of injections.”
Gu Nan’s original intention had been to make Shen Zhibei stop looking at the needle. Now that Shen Zhibei had shifted her attention onto her and was arguing with her, the goal had been achieved.
So she replied very perfunctorily, “Ah, yes, yes, yes. You’re beautiful, so you’re right.”
Shen Zhibei: “…”
For some reason, she felt as though she had been subtly mocked.
With Gu Nan holding Shen Zhibei’s attention for that brief moment, the doctor successfully completed the venipuncture.
After hanging up the bottle of medicine, the doctor looked at Gu Nan and said, “Next, Miss Shen needs to recuperate properly. She must eat three meals a day on time. It would be best for her to eat easily digestible foods such as noodles, porridge, and vegetables.”
“Also, if possible, Miss Gu, please use a pheromone-suppressing patch for the next seven days. Do not release pheromones again and induce Miss Shen into heat. And please give Miss Shen one to use as well.”
Although everything she said was medical advice, Gu Nan somehow felt that every sentence seemed to carry an implied accusation that she had gone too far.
Gu Nan complained inwardly.
But who told the original owner to have gone so overboard before? Now that the original owner was gone, she, the person currently occupying this body, had to take the blame.
“I understand. Thank you, Doctor.”
Seeing Gu Nan’s obedient appearance, the doctor sighed inwardly.
“All right. Now I’ll help examine you as well.”
The examination for Gu Nan ended very quickly, because there was nothing wrong with her body at all.
Gu Nan trusted the doctor’s medical skills, but the checks that could be done at home were all only superficial physical examinations. It would still be best to find time to go to the hospital for a full-body scan or a brain CT.
After making that decision, Gu Nan stood up to see the doctor to the door. There, she saw an elderly man standing outside with a tray of food.
In those fragments of life, Gu Nan had seen this person more than once. He was the butler who had watched Gu Nan grow up since childhood.
Her tone was very natural and familiar as she said, “Uncle Quan, please bring the food into the room first.”
“All right, Miss.” Uncle Quan smiled kindly. “Miss Shen’s manager has already arrived. She’s sitting in the living room downstairs now. Madam accompanied her and spoke with her for a while just now, but she has already returned to her room.”
“I understand. I’ll go downstairs and bring her up to see Miss Shen.”
This time, Uncle Quan’s kind smile gained an added trace of pride. “Miss has finally grown up. Now you even know to go receive a guest.”
Gu Nan: “…”
No, exactly how low were your expectations for the original owner?
She was only going to receive someone. She had not done anything worth being proud of, right?
Gu Nan could not face Uncle Quan’s heartfelt pride, so she quickly went downstairs.
Ding Ziyan was a capable-looking woman dressed in a professional black suit. She was probably in her fifties, and her features gave off a rather stern, difficult-to-approach impression.
“Hello, Sister Yan. I’m Gu Nan.” She introduced herself, then extended her hand.
“Hello, Miss Gu.” Ding Ziyan stood up from the sofa and shook Gu Nan’s hand.
“I wonder if I can go see Zhibei now?”
“Please follow me. She’s resting upstairs.”
Gu Nan led the way, and Ding Ziyan followed behind her, secretly observing her.
Before seeing Gu Nan in person, she had thought she would meet a spoiled young lady who would be very difficult to deal with. In the end, this young lady was not actually bad at interacting with others.
Overall, Ding Ziyan’s first impression of Gu Nan was fairly good.
That fairly good impression lasted until she saw Shen Zhibei.
When she saw Shen Zhibei looking weak and haggard, with an IV drip still attached, Ding Ziyan thought for a moment that she had seen wrong.
“Zhibei!”
Hearing Ding Ziyan’s voice, Shen Zhibei hurriedly looked toward the sound.
When she saw the familiar figure, Shen Zhibei immediately called out in pleasant surprise, “Sister Yan.”
Ding Ziyan hurriedly rushed over, sat beside Shen Zhibei, and pulled her head into her arms. With heartache, she gently brushed away the strands of hair stuck to Shen Zhibei’s forehead with sweat.
Then she angrily questioned Gu Nan, “What is going on? Zhibei was perfectly fine yesterday. How did she become like this today?”
One of Shen Zhibei’s hands had the IV in it and could not be used, so she used her other hand to tightly clutch Ding Ziyan’s sleeve.
The arrival of someone familiar finally gave her a sliver of security.
“It’s all my fault. I’ll take responsibility,” Gu Nan promised.
“At dinner, my mother will come back. When the whole family is here, I’ll explain everything clearly to them and give Miss Shen an explanation.”
“Take responsibility?” Ding Ziyan was shocked and uncertain, then brushed aside the hair at the back of Shen Zhibei’s neck.
Seeing Ding Ziyan’s movement, Gu Nan said a little awkwardly, “There was no marking.”
“Then what responsibility are you taking?” Ding Ziyan asked.
“She used an inducer on me.”
Shen Zhibei’s words made Ding Ziyan’s anger explode instantly. Her face full of disgust, she pointed at Gu Nan’s nose and cursed, “Shameless! You despicable villain! Are you even human?”
“Yes, I’m shameless. I’m not human.”
Ever since Gu Nan had woken up, she had been disliked and scolded. Now she was actually a little used to it, and could even sincerely scold herself.
Taking advantage of the moment Ding Ziyan was choked silent by Gu Nan’s sincere self-scolding, Gu Nan hurriedly brought over the tray from the bedside table. “Sister Yan, Miss Shen hasn’t eaten since last night. Please feed her a little first.”
She had already noticed the tray Uncle Quan had placed on the bedside table. The food inside showed no signs of having been touched at all; even the water had not been touched. But she had not had a chance to mention it earlier. Now, she finally found an opportunity.
“Who is your Sister Yan?” Ding Ziyan glared fiercely at Gu Nan. “I’ll take care of Zhibei. There’s no need for you to act hypocritically here! Get out!”
Although this was her own room, Gu Nan still left dejectedly.
Thinking of Shen Zhibei’s condition, she probably could not leave for the next few days, so Gu Nan quickly had Uncle Quan tidy up a guest room.
Lying on the large bed in the cleaned-up guest room, Gu Nan sighed tiredly.
When would these days of being hated by everyone finally end?
The next time Gu Nan went out, it was because Uncle Quan came to inform her that the head of the Gu family, Gu Tiansheng, had returned and was waiting downstairs for her to eat.
“Uncle Quan, did you inform Miss Shen and her manager?” Gu Nan asked.
“They have already been informed. They have already started heading downstairs.”
“Ah!”
Gu Nan was startled and hurriedly rushed downstairs as well.
“You child, why are you still so reckless?”
Gu Tiansheng looked at Gu Nan running down from upstairs and reprimanded her with a stern face.
Although she was being reprimanded, Gu Nan felt no fear in her heart at all. Instead, she said, “Isn’t it because I wanted to see Mother sooner?”
This time, Gu Nan did not even feel that there was anything wrong with the words that had slipped out of her mouth. She simply sat down in her chair.
The four people sitting around the dining table had still been maintaining friendly conversation before she arrived. But as soon as she came downstairs, Shen Zhibei and Ding Ziyan both stopped speaking and lowered their heads to look at their plates.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Yin Yuehua instructed that the dishes be served.
Gu Nan looked at her mother and mom, who were both smiling brightly, then glanced at the expressionless Shen Zhibei and Ding Ziyan. She felt a lot of pressure.
Although her mother, Gu Tiansheng, and her mom, Yin Yuehua, had spoiled Gu Nan endlessly since childhood, when it came to educating Gu Nan, they were not only very principled but also very violent.
In the original novel, the original owner never told the two of them the truth at all. She even forced Shen Zhibei to lie together with her, only then avoiding a beating.
Now, in order to fulfill her promise to give Shen Zhibei an explanation, and also to rebuild her image, she was going to tell the truth.
Looking at the increasing number of utensils being set out, she felt as though all of them would become part of her tragedy.
Gu Nan stopped delaying. She cleared her throat and said, “Mother, Mom, I have something to tell you.”
