Chapter 298 Is My Shield Useful?



The jeep drove out of Bingjiao Hutong. Lu Baiwei told Gu Min in the car, "Sister-in-law, go back and crush the herbs in the bag with my aunt."

"In the future, we should also try to collect the used sauce packets in the store, so that others will not pick them up and study the herbs and spices used in our braised dishes."

You even thought of this?

Gu Min was amazed.

The old man nodded repeatedly and said that this made sense.

He Hua praised: "Sister-in-law, I have to admire your brain."

"No wonder so many girls liked Ating before. He looked down on everyone but fell in love with you at first sight when he went to the countryside as an educated youth."

How can you say such nonsense?

The old man glared at him, He Yunqi looked at his father as if he was a fool, and even Xiao Ranzi rolled his eyes at him in dissatisfaction.

Gu Min was so anxious that she poked He Hua's head with her finger: "Shut up, I told you not to talk nonsense."

"It's okay, sister-in-law."

Lu Baiwei smiled: "A Ting is indeed very good-looking. You don't know that I married him in the first place because I wanted to find such a good-looking man. I would not suffer any loss if I just looked at him without doing anything."

"Brother, look, if I marry A-Ting, will the child I give birth to be good-looking too?"

“Hahaha, it looks good.”

Mr. He also laughed: "My great-grandson and great-granddaughter are the most beautiful."

"He is the most handsome kid in the compound."

"A-Ting is a good-looking boy."

He Hua praised Lu Baiwei: "Sister-in-law, you are so generous."

"It's his blessing that A-Ting found you."

It actually takes about twenty minutes to walk from the school to the pharmacy where Gu Chuanbai works, but Lu Baiwei took a ride with He Hua this time, and the car arrived at the door of the pharmacy in just a few minutes from Bingjiao Hutong.

After getting off the car, Lu Baiwei carried a bag of braised dishes into the store, but she didn't know that she came at the wrong time.

While still at the door of the pharmacy, she heard a man and a woman arguing inside.

"Gu Chuanbai, you really won't forgive me?"

The slightly sharp female voice sounded very familiar to Lu Baiwei.

The man said angrily: "My mother introduced me to a blind date. The other party is the son of my mother's boss. If you refuse to forgive me, then I agree to go on a blind date with him."

The angry female voice fell, followed by Gu Chuanbai's calm and cold voice.

"Then I wish you and your blind date a happy marriage, Miss Yu, and a long and happy marriage."

Gu Chuanbai spoke calmly as if he was talking to a stranger: "Please come in. My small, shabby pharmacy can't accommodate a big Buddha like you, Miss Yu."

Gu Chuanbai tried to chase them away, but the woman inside had no intention of leaving.

She pestered, "Gu Chuanbai, why are you so stubborn?"

"I've already said it before. It wasn't me who wanted to separate from you. It was my family who forced me to do it. Your family was in trouble at the time, and the pharmacy was taken back. You were also labeled like that. My family forced me to do it for my future. What could I do?"

"Now your shop and pharmacy have been returned to you, and you are still working at Kyoto University. My family agrees that we can be together again."

"In that case, why are you still dwelling on the past?"

There was silence inside for a while.

Gu Chuanbai suddenly sneered: "I understand, Miss Yu can share wealth, but not adversity."

"Since you keep pestering me, you are still my student, so there must be some entanglement. I will make it clear for the last time today that you and I are a thing of the past, and there is no such possibility between us."

"Yu Jing, you go your way, and I'll go mine!"

What?

Is the person inside Yu Jing?

Yu Jing who shares the same dormitory with her?

Were she and Gu Chuanbai lovers in the past?

Because Gu Chuanbai's family suffered a disaster, Yu Jing's family did not agree with them being together, and then Yu Jing broke up with Gu Chuanbai?

What a shocking piece of news!

Yu Jing herself has a shrewd personality. If she knew that she had seen her being rejected in such a shameful way, she would not know how much she would hate her.

Lu Baiwei felt that she had come at a wrong time and wanted to turn around and leave quickly, but she underestimated Gu Chuanbai, who had inherited the medical skills from his ancestors and had also learned to identify the location of a person by listening to sounds since childhood. As soon as she quietly moved her steps to retreat from the door, she had already alarmed Gu Chuanbai inside.

Gu Chuanbai also didn't want to get entangled with Yu Jing anymore, so when he saw Lu Baiwei appear, he spoke in a gentle voice.

"Come in, Mr. Lu."

Lu Baiwei: “…”

Since she had already been discovered, she had no choice but to step into the drugstore.

Sure enough, she met Yu Jing's angry eyes.

Gu Chuanbai clearly wanted to use her as a shield and didn't even look at Yu Jing. He asked Lu Baiwei in a gentle voice.

"Student Lu, what are you holding in your hand?"

"Braised, braised food."

Gu Chuanbai's stern face rarely broke into a smile.

He asked Lu Baiwei: "Did I make those stewed dishes made of herbs and spices for you?"

At this point, even if she backed down, Yu Jing would still hold a grudge against her.

What's more, she did nothing, and Yu Jing kept saying behind her back that she was a country bumpkin and looked down on her.

Since people were naturally hostile to her, Lu Baiwei felt that it was useless for her to have more concerns.

She admitted it openly in front of Gu Chuanbai and nodded.

"Well, the stewed food is ready. I'll bring it over for Teacher Gu to taste."

"That's great. I'm hungry and it's a good opportunity for me to try your cooking."

When Lu Baiwei brought the braised dishes, she took into consideration that Gu Chuanbai probably hadn't eaten yet, so in addition to a box of braised dishes, she also gave him some white flour steamed buns.

The bowl of braised food was opened. Gu Chuanbai, who usually did not show his emotions, swallowed his saliva when he smelled the fragrance, and his Adam's apple rolled.

"I just smelled this fragrance and wanted to try it."

Seeing Yu Jing standing aside unwilling to move, Lu Baiwei quickly said, "Then Mr. Gu, hurry up and eat. I'll go get busy first."

"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I would like to take this opportunity to discuss with you the two pharmacology questions you raised last time."

Gu Chuanbai left Lu Baiwei behind and asked Yu Jing, who was standing nearby, "Student Yu, what other medicine do you want to pick up?"

"If I don't pick up the medicine, I have to eat first."

This was a clear order to expel the guest in front of Lu Baiwei.

Yu Jing stomped her feet, glared at Lu Baiwei and ran out of the pharmacy.

Lu Baiwei was helpless. Meeting Gu Chuanbai's eyes, she complained, "Teacher Gu, is my shield useful?"

"You act as my shield, so return the favor I gave you for getting you the spices for the stew."

Gu Chuanbai picked up a piece of braised dish with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, his eyes lit up. Lu Baiwei reached out to grab the bowl of braised dish.

Gu Chuanbai quickly pressed down the bowl: "Student Lu, what are you doing?"

"I've already repaid all the favors by being a shield, so don't eat this stewed dish, Mr. Gu."

After hearing this, Gu Chuanbai was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

A cold person, when he smiles, it's like the melting snow and the blooming spring, making people unable to take their eyes off.

If she hadn't married someone as attractive as He Ting, Lu Baiwei admitted that she might have lost her mind facing such a Gu Chuanbai.

Gu Chuanbai promised her: "I will buy all the herbs and spices for your braised food shop in the future. If the quantity is large, I will help you lower the price."
