Chapter 67 Cha Cha's Tea
It was said that Jiang Cha invited Zhang Keda to dinner, but the dishes Zhang Keda ordered were all Jiang Cha's favorites.
After ordering the food, the two of them found an empty table and sat down.
Jiang Cha handed Zhang Keda a piece of white paper with several medicinal herbs written on it.
"Please help me keep an eye out for anyone who wants to sell these herbs. If so, please buy some back for me. I can use them."
Zhang Keda leaned over to take a look.
Cycad leaves, aconite root, peucedanum chinense and lotus seeds.
"What are these used for?"
On the high-legged square table, Jiang Cha and Zhang Keda's heads were almost touching, and Jiang Cha was explaining the effects of the medicine to Zhang Keda.
Bai Shuyao stood outside and secretly watched, and saw Jiang Cha standing very close to a man.
"She's truly a vixen. Not only did she charm the Huo brothers in the family compound, but she even tried to hook up with other people outside!"
Bai Shuyao stamped her feet, her mind racing.
She must find a way to ruin Jiang Cha's reputation.
The corner of Zhang Keda's eyes kept falling on Bai Shuyao.
"An unusual tail, is it leaving now?"
Jiang Cha turned his head to look, and Bai Shuyao's figure had indeed disappeared.
"Why rush? She will come back."
Zhang Keda folded the list of medicinal herbs and put it in his pocket. "Are you so sure she will come back?"
Of course!
She raised her hand to support her chin, "Zhang Keda, you don't have anything else to do today, right?"
He has lost his job, what else can he do?
Zhang Keda said "hmm" and before the food was served, he picked up the cup and took a sip of water.
"Then you stay with me for the whole day."
“Puff… hehe…”
Zhang Keda choked himself and crossed his arms, "You don't have any improper thoughts about me, do you?"
Jiang Cha hit him, "What are you thinking? I'm just inviting you into a trap."
She thought about it and realized that she couldn't always be led by Bai Shuyao, nor could she rely on Huo Jingchuan to protect her all her life. She still had to stand on her own feet.
"Hey, Miss, I haven't seen you for a few days. You've become braver!"
Zhang Keda and Jiang Cha both held their cheeks in the same position, looking at each other with a playful look in their eyes.
"Before, you were bullied by Jiang Cheng like that. I said I would take you to beat him up, but you refused to do it. Now... you've become so brave?"
People who have secrets in their hearts are always afraid of revealing any clues.
Zhang Keda's simple guess was enough to make Jiang Cha panic.
Her courage was dragged out of her tortoise shell bit by bit by Huo Jingchuan.
And her love for Huo Jingchuan can only be buried in her shell forever, never seeing the light of day.
Jiang Cha held the cup tightly, his brows furrowed.
Zhang Keda burst out laughing. "I was just saying it casually. Why are you so nervous?"
"Table number three, the food is ready!"
"Go get the food now, you can't stop eating!"
As soon as Zhang Keda left the table, Jiang Cha took a big sip.
Jiang Cha guessed correctly, Bai Shuyao would come back.
Not only did she come back, she also brought a few girls from the art troupe with her.
As soon as this group of people entered the door, someone came up to greet her.
"Doctor Jiang, are you eating here too?"
The girl who was speaking was named Li Mei. She had dysmenorrhea two days ago and was almost fainted due to the pain. She was sent to the infirmary.
Jiang Cha gave her acupuncture and prescribed a prescription for treating uterine cold and dysmenorrhea, and told her to go back and get the medicine herself.
Li Mei was originally skeptical about Jiang Cha's medical skills. After all, she had never seen such a young and beautiful female doctor.
However, after Jiang Cha's treatment with silver needles, she really didn't feel any pain anymore.
This made her believe that this menstrual period was the easiest one she had ever had in her life.
She had already made plans. If she took the medicine according to Jiang Cha's prescription for a month and her period was not as painful next month, she would make a banner for Jiang Cha and print the four big words "Miraculous Doctor Bringing Back Spring" on it to promote her medical skills.
Unexpectedly, she had just finished her period and was about to go to get medicine today when Bai Shuyao dragged her from home to the state-owned restaurant and met Jiang Cha.
"Yes, I'm on vacation today, so I came out for a walk."
Jiang Cha suddenly became aloof, and Zhang Keda was a little uncomfortable with it.
This girl... has really changed a lot!
"Meimei, don't you see Dr. Jiang is on a date? Let's not disturb them, right?"
Bai Shuyao jokingly glanced between Jiang Cha and Zhang Keda.
"Doctor Jiang, is this your...subject?"
Li's surprised eyes jumped back and forth between Jiang Cha and Zhang Keda. "You are so good-looking, and even the partner you choose is so handsome. How can ordinary people like us live like this?"
"He's my friend. Sorry, we have something else to do after dinner and don't want to be disturbed."
The ginger tea was still cold, and there was a sense of strangeness in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
Li Mei chuckled, "Then I won't bother you anymore!"
She sat back at the table chosen by Bai Shuyao, while the other two sisters huddled together and whispered.
"What friend? I think that man is Dr. Jiang's boyfriend."
"I think so too. Otherwise, who would come out and have dinner with a grown man?"
Bai Shuyao lowered her eyes and said softly, "Ah, let's not speculate on things without basis. Have you forgotten that a few days ago, the male comrades in the dance troupe were collectively punished by Director Yang?"
"Why don't you remember? Tell me, why does Captain Yang help her with everything?"
The same thing happened with Chi Jun last time. After the news spread, people found out that even Captain Yang’s aunt was on Jiang Cha’s side.
Naturally, these people did not dare to say these things in front of Captain Yang and Aunt Tian, but when these two things were linked together so smoothly, people could not help but think more.
"Who knows? She looks just..."
"Bang!"
Li Mei slammed the table.
"Are you done yet?"
The state-owned restaurant is so small. Do these two really think others are deaf?
Zhang Keda had already clenched his fists when the two women started to gossip about Jiang Cha. If Jiang Cha hadn't quickly restrained him, he would have given each of the two women a big iron fist and beaten them to a pulp!
Ginger tea is calming.
However, she didn't expect that Li Mei would have a seizure on the spot.
"Dr. Jiang is a very nice person. She's young, beautiful, and a skilled doctor. Even if you're dating, so what? Do you really have to belittle her like that?"
"Li Mei, are you crazy?"
One of the girls glanced at Jiang Cha in panic and met Jiang Cha's leisurely gaze.
She quickly pulled Li Mei down.
"Keep your voice down. What we say is none of your business."
Li Mei looked at Bai Shuyao and said, "If you called me here to have dinner just to hear you say bad things about Dr. Jiang, then I won't be joining you."
She stood up and was about to leave. When she passed by Jiang Cha, she glanced meaningfully at Bai Shuyao's table.
"Doctor Jiang, they are just jealous that you are better than them. Don't take those words to heart."
Jiang Cha looked at her and smiled, "Thank you for your concern. I will."
Li Mei was overjoyed to receive Jiang Cha's sincere smile.
The corners of her mouth curled up uncontrollably, and she couldn't suppress it.
How could there be someone so good looking, so skilled in medicine, and so kind in character?
He's not even angry when being slandered like this.
Ginger tea is her role model.
"Doctor Jiang, you are truly an excellent, excellent, excellent person."
Li Mei was clearly praising ginger tea, but in the end, she felt embarrassed.
"I have something else to do, I'm leaving first!"
She disappeared in a flash.
"This girl is so cute!"
Zhang Keda glanced at the three remaining girls at the table over there. They all looked like human beings, but unfortunately, they didn't have a human mouth.
"really."
"first!"
"Um?"
"This is the first time I've heard you praise someone else."
Zhang Keda: “…”
Jiang Cha took out a handkerchief from her bag, wiped her mouth, then stood up and sat at another table, in the seat vacated by Li Mei.
"Finish what you just said. What do I look like?"
The two girls looked at each other, and for the first time, they felt oppression from Jiang Cha.
"Why did Captain Yang help me? Didn't Bai Shuyao tell you?"
Bai Shuyao, who was suddenly named, immediately denied it, "What does this have to do with me? I didn't gossip about you."
"Oh, you didn't gossip about me." Jiang Cha didn't even glance at Bai Shuyao, staring straight at the two girls. "She didn't gossip about me, so why did you have to fabricate charges and put them on me?"
"Doctor Jiang, I apologize to you on their behalf. Please don't embarrass them. They didn't mean to gossip about you."
Jiang Cha was waiting for Bai Shuyao to say this.
"You're apologizing for them. Did you treat them to dinner today? Otherwise, what right do you have to apologize for them?"
"Today is a day off. I just asked the sisters to get together privately. Why did Dr. Jiang say such sarcastic things? It's not friendly at all."
The smile on Bai Shuyao's face remained unchanged.
"No, I'm just curious. After all, we happened to take the same bus to the state-owned restaurant. How come in the blink of an eye, you called a bunch of friends over for dinner?"
"What Dr. Jiang said is ridiculous. The state-owned restaurant is not your private property. You can bring friends here, but I can't?"
"That's not the case. I just think you're so charming. You always find people to fight for you. I just can't understand why you always seem so innocent."
Jiang Cha's words had a double meaning, and Bai Shuyao almost couldn't hold back her smile.
"Jiang Cha, stop slandering me with empty words."
"What? You're allowed to slander me, but I'm not allowed to slander you?"
Jiang Cha's face turned stern. "Besides, Bai Shuyao, did I really slander you?"
Although she was talking to Bai Shuyao, she was actually saying this to the other two people.
After all, no one is a fool. If you think carefully about the twists and turns in this, you can understand them all.
"I was wondering why you were so kind today, saying you'd treat us to a meal. So this is what you were planning? We're the ones who got offended, and you're the one who's the most innocent."
