Chapter 76 Unlucky Cai Jiahao
There's a saying that circulated in the capital in my past life: "If Yama wants you to die at midnight, Ximing will keep you alive until dawn."
This statement alone reveals the depth of Cai Ximing's expertise in the medical field.
I think I once heard someone say that this old man had a grandson who died young.
Could this be it?
Jiang Xixi immediately stopped reading and stared intently at Cai Jiahao's face, so much so that the child forgot to cry and just stood there at a loss.
Why are you staring at me?
"Your grandfather is Cai Ximing? Cai Ximing from the Cai Family Medical Clinic in Beijing?"
"Ah, hiccup~ Do you know my grandfather? But our Cai family clinic is gone. Are you going there for treatment?" Cai Jiahao was quite shocked. After hiccuping, he answered Jiang Xixi's question.
Cai Family Medical Clinic was shut down during the turmoil; yes, that's the one.
Jiang Xixi's eyes gleamed as she looked at Cai Jiahao.
She has a very shallow understanding of traditional Chinese medicine and has been feeling down these past few days, which is why she sent me this opportunity to take advantage of her.
"Wei Laicheng, bring the meat sauce over here."
"daughter in law?"
Wei Laicheng was puzzled, but he still walked over with his jar of meat sauce.
Seeing that his wife hadn't left him any, she gave all the meat sauce, along with the jar, to that man.
Wei Laicheng stared at his wife in disbelief, his face showing an expression of betrayal.
His meat sauce, just like that, gone? Gone?
Jiang Xixi ruthlessly covered his aggrieved face with her hand, then turned around and adopted the demeanor of a gentle older sister.
"You can have this. If it's not enough, I'll make some more and mail it to you later."
What a joke! This is a crucial bridge for her to get close to a powerful patron; she has to protect it well.
Cai Jiahao looked at Jiang Xixi, who had a "gentle" expression, and then at Wei Laicheng, whose cheeks were being pressed down by Jiang Xixi's hand, making him look particularly ferocious and staring at the meat sauce in his hand with a longing expression. He paused for a few seconds.
Then, to Wei Laicheng's incredulous look, he put the meat sauce into the white film and began to eat it with relish.
After he finished eating, despite Wei Laicheng's murderous expression, he thanked Jiang Xixi without changing his expression.
No one knew that at that moment, he was internally screaming like a groundhog.
How can something be so delicious? Waaah~
"Are you and that girl from earlier married?"
How could this young master marry a country girl?
Thinking about what he had just said about losing his innocence, Jiang Xixi had some guesses.
This child, could it be that someone...
Immediately, her gaze towards Cai Jiahao was filled with sympathy.
Cai Jiahao, who was standing next to her, did not see Jiang Xixi's expression.
At this moment, he began to recount, with a fierce hatred of evil, the series of unpleasant things he had encountered since coming to the countryside.
After hearing his story, even Wei Laicheng, who was hostile towards him, gave him a look of sympathy.
This kid is so pitiful.
"You mean that ever since you went to the countryside, after Qian Huahua took a liking to you, you've been constantly harassed by the people in the brigade, and they were all acting under the orders of Qian Huahua's father, who was the brigade leader?"
And a few days ago, when you weren't looking, Qian Huahua did something inappropriate to you, and you lost your innocence?"
"Yes, that's right. It seems like Qian Huahua can't get married. She follows me around all day. Once she even fell into the river, and the villagers next door all asked me to save her."
Hmph, do you think I don't know what they're up to? I ran away right then and there, besides, I'm a complete landlubber and can't swim! I might end up getting caught too.
After that, the people at the educated youth settlement stopped talking to me. This time, they were the ones who put the money in my room.
Once he started talking about his sad stories, Cai Jiahao seemed to have a floodgate opened, and he kept talking non-stop.
While listening to him speak, Jiang Xixi, who was standing next to him, began to think about what she had heard in her previous life.
How exactly did Cai Ximing, the only grandson of this powerful figure, die?
Oh right, I remember now.
It seems that he was dissatisfied with his marriage, that no one in his family was on his side, that he had no expectations for marriage, and that his marriage to this rural girl had apparently caused the death of his mother. In the end, he died in despair by lying on the railway tracks.
Jiang Xixi glanced at Cai Jiahao again, her gaze filled with disappointment and frustration.
Silly child! If someone provokes you, why don't you just get revenge?
Why would someone do something that would cause pain to their loved ones and joy to their enemies?
Next, in order to gain the trust of this only son of a renowned traditional Chinese medicine master, Jiang Xixi used every trick in the book.
They taught him various methods for dealing with difficult people, and even created a special "A/B Plan" for him to solve his money problems.
As she was getting off the train, she kept giving her instructions.
"Remember what I said, you must remember it. When you get to your doorstep, just do it."
Also, when your grandfather asks, you absolutely mustn't worry about saving face; you must honestly tell him everything, and remember the art of language I taught you.”
Cai Jiahao's mind was spinning; what Jiang Xixi had taught him had completely overturned his worldview.
So that's how it can be done!
He understood.
...
"Wife, he's gone, why are you still looking for him!"
Wei Laicheng stood in front of Jiang Xixi, his tall figure blocking her view.
Looking at the tall man's pitiful expression, Jiang Xixi felt guilty and exhausted.
Quickly, try to laugh it off.
"I'll make you meat sauce as soon as I get to your wife's house, so don't worry about it. I just couldn't help but feel sorry for that child because he was in such a pitiful state."
Wei Laicheng maintained a stern face, but inwardly he was overjoyed.
You know what, seeing his wife's guilty little face is actually kind of interesting.
Cai Ximing, a bigwig in the Chinese medicine industry, could probably guess what his wife was up to.
But how did his wife, a young girl, find out about this?
As soon as the two stepped out of the train station, they saw a huge sign with their names on it.
Looking over, they saw a man who looked very much like their teacher's wife. He was leaning against a car parked next to him. After making eye contact with them, he walked towards them.
"Are you Xixi?"
"Are you here in Cheng?"
"Yes, we are. May I ask who you are?"
Liu Chengxin smiled. Early this morning, his dear sister had been waiting behind him, constantly bothering her older brother.
She told me to go and pick up her good apprentices.
“I am your teacher’s wife’s brother, Liu Chengxin. Little girl, thank you for the medicine last time.”
The teacher's wife's brother?
Isn't that the person in power in the Liu family?
Jiang Xixi tried her best to keep her expression straight. How could she possibly deserve to have a super big shot in the capital's officialdom come to pick her up?
"Hello Uncle Liu, no need to thank me. I just happened to come across a hundred-year-old ginseng. You must be very lucky, Uncle."
"Haha, you little girl, you're really interesting!"
As the car drove into the Liu family mansion, Jiang Xixi and her companion got out of the car and heard a commotion coming from inside the house.
"Madam Wang, haven't we made ourselves clear? Your repeated actions seem inappropriate!"
