However, what Shu Jiaying didn't know was that she had not only met this man, but she had also been stabbed in the back by him.
She looked at the man calmly.
"I'm here... Is there something wrong?"
Kang Ningxia waved her hands quickly.
"No, no, no! Of course you can stay here, but where are you going?"
Shu Jiaying smiled.
"You're such a weird person. I don't even know you, so where I go is none of your business!"
"Miss Shu..."
Xiao Zhong gave Shu Jiaying a wink. He was worried that she would offend Kang Ningxia and affect her future herbal medicine sales, so he quickly interrupted the two of them.
Xiao Zhong bowed deeply at the counter and called out sweetly to Kang Ningxia, "Hello, boss!"
Oh... Shu Jiaying immediately understood, but she was not so infatuated as to think that the "boss" in front of her fell in love with her at first sight, so he asked her this question.
Putting away her slightly annoyed mood, she appeared calm as she waited for Kang Ningxia's answer.
Kang Ningxia symbolically replied to Xiao Zhong with an "OK." He then said nervously to Shu Jiaying, "Girl, you're not planning on going back to Guangming Village right now, are you? Don't go back, you'll get into trouble!"
"Trouble?" Shu Jiaying asked with a complicated expression, squinting her eyes. "Do you know something? Sir, with all due respect, we don't know each other, but you seem to know me very well."
"this……"
Kang Ningxia lowered her eyelids guiltily and rubbed her nose embarrassedly.
"Actually, I don't know much, but that's not the point."
“Isn’t this the key point?”
Shu Jiaying almost jumped up.
"Being noticed by a stranger, and I knew nothing about it, if that's not the key, then I really don't know what is."
Kang Ningxia immediately comforted Shu Jiaying.
"Don't get excited, little girl. Xiaozhong, pour me a glass of water."
“Yes, boss!”
Watching Xiaozhong's departing figure, Kang Ningxia explained, "To be honest, I don't know how to start this conversation. I'll tell you when I get a chance, okay? Girl... I won't hurt you anyway, but before that, I have one more question I want to ask you, okay?"
His attitude was very sincere. Considering that Kang Ningxia was the boss of Zhenghetang, Shu Jiaying nodded.
"If you have any questions, just ask!"
Finally skipping the topic, Kang Ningxia wiped the sweat off his face. He then asked, "Miss, did you encounter a young man entangled by a snake in the back mountains of Guangming Village yesterday?"
"You mean the one dressed as a man?"
Thinking of that ungrateful woman, if it weren't for the half mask covering Shu Jiaying's face, Kang Ningxia would have noticed her face full of contempt.
But Kang Ningxia didn't see it after all. He asked in surprise, "So you've already discovered Miss Zhao's identity. Then, could what Miss Zhao said about the poison be true?"
"you……"
Suddenly catching a glimpse of Kang Ningxia's sparkling eyes, Shu Jiaying had a sudden illusion. She felt that this man seemed willing to believe that she had cast a spell on him, but she was unwilling to take the blame for this inexplicable act.
She clarified, "I have no grudge against the Miss Zhao you mentioned. Why would I cast a spell on her when she was fine?"
"No, Miss Zhao said you watched her kill the snake that was wrapped around her, and then after she left, you buried the snake's body and the ten cents she gave you in the ground?"
