The entire therapy session proceeded as expected.
Gu Guotai treated her as amicably as ever, even increasing her bonus and presenting her with tea leaves.
Qiao Yin had figured it out; the elderly Guotai seemed to show favor to those who were humble and had a steady character. As long as they were respectful and dutiful in his presence, he would generously reward them.
Gu Guotai found people like Gu Jing, who were impatient and impetuous, unfavorable.
Gu Chengqiao also praised her, but Qiao Yin was indifferent to him. No matter what he said, she felt his whole demeanor to be insincere.
Even with his intrinsic elegance and politeness, Qiao Yin couldn't compare him to the often grumpy but wheelchair-bound Gu Guotai.
Besides, Gu Jing hadn't been present during the therapy session that day. This alone was enough to confirm that he had learned something distasteful from Gu Chengqiao and thus started avoiding her.
