Chapter 144: Cold



Yu Jiao secretly laughed, but she didn't show it on her face. She said calmly, "Since Master Shen is the young master of Huichun Hall, he should know medical skills, right?"

Although the Shen family managed Huichuntang successfully, they were not medical professionals. The ancestors of the Shen family were able to identify hundreds of herbs, but when it came to Shen Yu's generation, no one was willing to study medicine. After all, Huichuntang was famous, and it was the same even if they invited doctors to see patients. Shen Yu studied business management, so how could he understand medicine?

The eldest son of the Shen family, who never thought of himself as unlearned, felt a little ashamed when asked this by Yu Jiao.

"Shen doesn't know how to treat a disease." Facing Yu Jiao's clear almond eyes, Shen Yu didn't want to brag and replied frankly.

"So Master Shen doesn't know how to treat a disease." Yu Jiao was not surprised at all and said calmly, "Then I'll just say a few more words of caution."

The servant brought in tea, and Chen Yu personally poured tea for Yu Jiao and the other two. Seeing Yu Jiao's serious tone, he pretended to listen attentively, "Miss Meng, just keep talking."

"There are many causes of gynecological diseases. It is not only married women who will suffer from these obscure diseases. Chastity cannot be judged by gynecological diseases." Yu Jiao stopped there and did not mention Miss Zhang.

When Chen Yu heard this, he already knew what she was talking about, but he didn't like Zhang Xiu Yue at all. When his father arranged this marriage for him, he was dissatisfied in his heart. He used the fact that Zhang Xiu Yue had a gynecological disease to imply that her body was not clean, which was just a good excuse to cancel the engagement.

Even though he didn't know how to treat a disease, Chen Yu knew very well that the Zhang family would never dare to marry their daughter who had lost her virginity to him.

"I understand what Miss Meng said." Chen Yu smiled faintly, took a sip of tea leisurely, and then continued, "Speaking of this, I should thank Miss Meng. I was not happy with the marriage arranged by my family, but it was my parents' order and the matchmaker's words. I couldn't cancel the engagement without a reason. Fortunately, Miss Meng went to see Miss Zhang and left a handle for me to know, so I just pushed the marriage off!"

He laughed heartily, "Miss Meng, we are really destined to be together. You are not only Dayong's benefactor, but also my Chen Yu's benefactor."

Seeing that he made it so clear that he was not worried that Miss Zhang had contracted a gynecological disease and was not clean, but was just using the gynecological disease as an excuse, Yu Jiao's expression became even colder, "I don't mean to meddle in other people's business, but now the Zhang family thinks that it was from me that spread the news that Miss Zhang had contracted a gynecological disease. Since you are determined to cancel the engagement, you should have made it clear to Miss Zhang and not slander her innocence."

Seeing that she was unhappy, Chen Yu pondered for a moment and said, "It was my fault for not thinking carefully enough. I didn't expect that the cancellation of the engagement would cause trouble for Miss Meng. I'm very sorry, but I can't say anything about the Zhang family now, so I can't help Miss Meng."

He had finally gotten rid of the Zhang family's marriage arrangement, and now the Zhang family was angry, so there was no need for him to go to their house to explain for Meng Yujiao.

Yu Jiao stood up, her expression indifferent, "If that's the case, I said too much."

Yu Qizhe and Yu Fuling also stood up, and the three of them walked outside.

Unlike his previous enthusiasm, when he saw the three people were about to leave, he still sat on the stool and said lazily, "I'm sorry I can't see you off."

Jiang Qinghe knew something about Miss Zhang's affairs. He followed her out and said to her when they reached the front hall clinic, "Our young master has a peculiar temper. Miss Meng, please bear with me."

Yu Jiao smiled. She was not the type to vent her anger on others. The actions of the young master of the Shen family naturally had nothing to do with Jiang Qinghe. She said, "Doctor Jiang, there is no need to see me off. Please be busy first. We will take our leave first."

Jiang Qinghe still sent Yu Jiao to the door before turning back to see patients.

Yu Fuling had previously accompanied Yu Jiao to see Miss Zhang, and couldn't help but say, "This Young Master Shen is handsome, but he is really not a good match. If the engagement hadn't been cancelled, Miss Zhang would probably not be happy even if she married into the Shen family."

Yu Jiao nodded, agreeing with what Yu Fuling said, but it was a pity that the Zhang family might not think so.

"Fuling, Fifth Brother, Miss Meng, are you going back to the village?" Seeing the three people coming out of Huichun Hall, Chen Rou, who had been waiting outside the clinic, walked forward and asked with a smile.

"Arou, you haven't left yet?" Seeing that Chen Rou had already grabbed the medicine, Yu Fuling said, "We still have to go buy some things and return to the village later. Did you come to the town alone?"

Chen Rou nodded, holding the medicine bag, and said with a bit of disappointment, "My family members are busy in the fields. I came here alone. I originally wanted to go back with you. What else do you want to buy?"

Seeing that she was alone, Yu Fuling felt a little sorry for her and said, "We just arrived in town not long ago, and we still need to walk around. If you are not in a hurry, if you are not in a hurry to go back, just walk around with us and we will go back together later."

Chen Rou was about to agree when Yu Qizhe said calmly, "Sister, we don't know when we will be back yet. It's not appropriate to have someone wait for us."

Yu Fuling saw through Yu Qizhe's attitude clearly and changed the topic, "I didn't think it through. Waiting for us delayed the preparation of medicine for Grandma Chen. Ah Rou, you should go back first."

Chen Rou had no choice but to swallow the words on her lips. She looked at Yu Qizhe tenderly with her charming eyes and said in a gentle voice, "I just saw that Miss Meng's handwriting is very good. I also want to practice calligraphy and write as good as Miss Meng's. I wonder if I can ask Fifth Brother for a copy of your calligraphy?"

Yu Qizhe refused without thinking, "I am not a famous teacher, my calligraphy is just passable, not good enough. Miss Chen wants to learn calligraphy, there are calligraphy works of scholars in the Wenzhai shop in town, you can copy them."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Chen Rou's eyes and she bit her lip. Her pretty face looked timid and endearing.

Yu Qizhe, however, pretended not to see it and his eyes did not even stay on Chen Rou.

Chen Rou felt sad and unwilling. She looked at Yu Qizhe's handsome face and wanted to say something but hesitated. The man who had always loved her was so cold now that she couldn't help but care.

"Then you guys go shopping. I'll go back first." Chen Rou looked at Yu Qizhe's face with a nostalgic look and said with a wry smile.

If Yu Qizhe was in good health, Chen Rou would be happy to marry him. With his talent, she would have no worries about her future. Although she was engaged to Liu Xiucai, that man was of ordinary appearance and short and fat. He could not compare with the handsome Yu Qizhe.

Chen Rou comforted herself in her heart that Yu Qizhe's broken body might be buried in the earth someday. A person who was going to die sooner or later, no matter how talented or good-looking he was, was not worth her care. Only in this way did she feel better.

After Chen Rou left, Yu Fuling gently nudged Yu Jiao's shoulder and whispered, "Look how cold Qi Zhe is to Chen Rou. He is only close to you. I think he has decided in his heart that you are his wife, otherwise he would not call you his wife in front of Master Shen."

"Sister Fuling, don't talk nonsense. You said that in front of Mr. Shen just to help me out." Yu Jiao glanced at Yu Qizhe and couldn't help feeling a little emotional. After all, Chen Rou was once his sweetheart, the girl he almost married. Now he was so cold and indifferent, which seemed a bit indifferent.
