Chapter 484: Scumbag Behavior
Xie Zheng reminded her, and Gu Xiaoyue hurriedly stood up, looking at Bai Zhi and sincerely pleading, "Dr. Bai, I would like to ask you to take my mother's pulse before you leave and prescribe another medicine, would you please? My mother is currently taking the medicine that Doctor Ye prescribed before, and her condition has improved. Doctor Ye is not in Nancheng now, and I would like you to see if she needs to make any adjustments."
Gu Xiaoyue explained apologetically, "I'm so sorry, you're leaving tomorrow, so you must be very busy today. This is a bit too rushed. The main reason is that I hadn't heard that you were leaving Nancheng, and I was thinking of contacting you later."
Bai Zhi readily agreed, "Take your mother to my place this afternoon, and I'll take a look at her."
"Okay, okay, thank you, Sister Baizhi." When Gu Xiaoyue heard that Baizhi was willing to treat her mother, her pretty and lively face instantly lit up with joy, and her tone was filled with excitement.
Then she obediently sat down in the chair.
Bai Zhi looked at Shen Qian, who was sitting there with an indifferent expression and hadn't said a word, and asked, "Dr. Shen, what about you? When are you going back to work?"
She hadn't seen Shen Qian for the past few days and assumed she had already returned to her workplace.
I never expected to see her here today.
Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, Shen Qian looked up at her and replied, "No rush."
She didn't specify the exact time, and Bai Zhi didn't ask any further questions.
It was clear that Shen Qian was preoccupied.
Whenever Xie Zheng is around, her emotions are affected.
Bai Zhi glanced at the woman with a hint of disappointment, her eyes glazed over.
She's a capable and strong woman when she's working, so why does she turn into this when she's with a man?
Xie Zheng asked the waiter to bring the menu, and let Bai Zhi order first. He said very generously that he was rich and that they could order whatever they wanted without worrying that he couldn't afford it.
Bai Zhi realized that after knowing each other for so long, Xie Zheng had never actually treated her to a meal.
After her rebirth, although she didn't change Xie Zheng's fate, she at least healed his arm injury, enabling him to play instruments and sing, and giving him the opportunity to become an all-around band member in the future.
So she took the menu and said, "In that case, we won't stand on ceremony."
Bai Zhi brought over a roast duck and then pushed the menu in front of Shen Qian.
Shen Qian said indifferently, "I'm easy to please, you guys order."
She gave the menu to Gu Xiaoyue.
Then he chatted with Bai Zhi, completely ignoring Xie Zheng and the others.
Gu Xiaoyue was quite honest; she looked at the menu again and again before ordering only one vegetarian dish.
Seeing this, Xie Zheng said disdainfully, "Who do you think you are? We have to have something special today."
So he ordered all the signature main dishes on the menu.
Chicken stew with mushrooms, prawns, braised fish, etc.
Shen Qian only talked to Bai Zhi. Gu Xiaoyue couldn't get a word in edgewise, so she just sat there and listened to them talk.
Bai Zhi felt that the atmosphere at the dinner table was very subtle, especially between Xie Zheng and the two girls.
Both girls were suitors of Xie Zheng, and he rejected them both.
She really couldn't understand why Xie Zheng would bring both of them along if that was the case.
If you're going to reject a jerk, at least don't reject him completely.
This is undoubtedly giving them hope again.
Xie Zheng seemed to sense that the atmosphere was not right, and he broke the awkward silence.
She started gossiping about the Lu family to Bai Zhi, "Bai, has Lu Ya gone home yet? Did she break up with that jerk?"
Bai Zhi replied, "It seems they broke up, but she hasn't gone home and is looking for work outside."
Shen Qian was also surprised when Bai Zhi said this.
She followed up by asking, "Did she find a job?"
I stayed at Baizhi's place a few nights ago.
Bai Zhi smiled and said, "Yes, I found her. She didn't come back to stay at my place. Come to think of it, what you said that day had some effect. Was she also provoked? She's a person who cares about her pride."
"What kind of job did you find?" Shen Qian asked curiously.
A girl who has been pampered will probably be neither too picky nor too easy to find a suitable partner.
"Working as a waiter in a nightclub."
Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, the people at the dinner table all looked at her with subtle expressions.
I never expected Lu Ya to look for this kind of job.
Bai Zhi could tell at a glance that they had a prejudice against working in a nightclub.
"Why are you all making those faces? It's just that the waitresses have a tough job, it's good for her to get some experience," Bai Zhi said. "It's pretty safe over there, the job is similar to that of a restaurant waitress, except she's working the night shift."
Xie Zheng smiled knowingly, "It's safe, but if the Lu family finds out about this, they probably won't agree, right?"
Bai Zhi sighed, "So please keep it a secret for now."
She hadn't originally planned to tell anyone, but then felt there was no need to hide it.
That wasn't a shameful job to begin with.
The dance halls of this era were so pure.
We should break down occupational prejudices in people's minds.
When Lu Ya was mentioned, Xie Zheng shook his head with disappointment on his handsome face. "If you ask me, Lu Ya is just a bit slow on the uptake. She's been too well protected by her family since she was little, and she's love-struck."
"To sever ties with family for a man, how could she even think of that? If it were a really great man, it would be one thing, but what kind of jerk did she pick?"
Xie Zheng looked at Shen Qian and Gu Xiaoyue and solemnly advised, "Girls must keep their eyes open when looking for a partner. They must never just go after any guy. There aren't many good men out there."
"Does that include you too?" Shen Qian glanced at him sideways.
Meeting Shen Qian's cool gaze, Xie Zheng awkwardly touched his nose.
Then, with an air of utter indifference, he crossed his legs and said, "Including me, I'm no good either. I'm cold-hearted by nature."
Bai Zhi, "..."
At this point, the waiters began to serve the dishes one after another.
Xie Zheng handed the chopsticks to them one by one, saying, "The food is served, eat up."
Shen Qian did not answer.
She got herself a new pair.
Xie Zheng didn't care; if they didn't want it, so be it.
He originally planned to order a bottle of wine, since how could a farewell party not involve drinking?
However, considering that Gu Xiaoyue would be taking her mother to Bai Zhi's place for medical treatment after the meal, he gave up the idea of drinking.
We asked the waiter to bring us a few bottles of drinks.
Bai Zhi noticed that Shen Qian's attitude towards Xie Zheng was always cold, and she basically didn't communicate with him.
It's clear that Shen Qian hasn't truly let go.
Otherwise, things wouldn't be so complicated.
That's true. How can you just let go of someone you've liked for so many years?
Since ancient times, infatuation has been the most agonizing thing.
No one could imagine that a cold-blooded military doctor would like a carefree, pretty boy like Xie Zheng.
Feelings are a complicated thing; they're hard to explain.
Gu Xiaoyue doesn't seem as demanding as before.
In their previous meetings, she had been very clingy to Xie Zheng.
Now that they know to keep their distance when sitting, they seem to have restrained themselves a lot, but I don't know if they've restrained their thoughts.
The restaurant Xie Zheng brought them to had roast duck as its signature dish.
The taste is quite authentic.
While pondering the complex love-hate relationship between these people, Bai Zhi showed off her roast duck.
