Everything felt so surreal for Yu Gangan.
She had no idea what the brochure was all about, nor did she know that Su Jiushan and Xia Chengzhou were the original choices for the cover.
All she knew was, she was implicated by the rumors related to Su Jiushan’s confession to Xia Chengzhou, so she tried her best to distance herself from them.
As the day of the brochure shoot approached, Yu Gangan went to look for Xia Chengzhou during lunchtime to ask him about the time and location.
There weren’t many people in the cafeteria at that time, so Yu Gangan carried her tray over to Xia Chengzhou and sat down at his table. She heard that Xia Chengzhou had experience with photoshoots, so she wanted to get some advice from him, “What do we need to prepare for the shoot?”
Xia Chengzhou glanced at Yu Gangan and said indifferently, “As long as you’re there, that’s all that matters.”
Yu Gangan nodded her head, “What is the purpose of this brochure?”
“Why are you shooting it if you don’t know its purpose?” Xia Chengzhou said with ridicule as he lowered his gaze.
“Huh?” Yu Gangan furrowed her brows with confusion.
Without replying to Yu Gangan, Xia Chengzhou stood up indifferently. But, when he lifted his tray, he accidentally knocked it against Yu Gangan’s soup bowl.
Some soup tipped and got on Xia Chengzhou’s sleeve, so Yu Gangan subconsciously grabbed some tissues to wipe his sleeve.
But, Xia Chengzhou slapped her hand away and yelled, “Enough!”
It seemed, he really disliked Yu Gangan.
Yu Gangan jumped in fright as the man’s anger overflowed. It appeared as though he wanted to pour the entire bowl of soup over her head.
Xia Chengzhou was wearing an expensive suit, he looked like a talented young man, and he was neat and tidy. Why was he acting so unreasonably arrogant like he was someone of extreme importance?
Was it because of the rumors?
Yu Gangan took a couple of deep breaths and tried to explain the situation, “Dr. Xia, that day when you and Dr. Su were in the corridor, I didn’t…”
But, Xia Chengzhou did not look pleased as he cut in, “Chinese medicine is for real doctors and these seminars are for the purpose of exchanging knowledge, not for people to boost their reputation and flirt.”
These words made Yu Gangan angry, “…”
If not for the brochure, she wouldn’t have spoken to him at all.
Who did he think he was?
How dare he insult and slander her character.
Yu Gangan laughed coldly and said in a dominantly icy tone, “My patients will be able to confirm whether I work to boost my reputation. As for flirting, even if I like to seduce men, and like to have multiple boyfriends, that is my own private matter. What does it have to do with you? Don’t tell me you thought I was trying to seduce you just because we exchanged a few words. I’d rather seduce a dog or a cat than seduce you.”
Yu Gangan threw her tissues on the table angrily and turned to leave.
She didn’t want to be so unfriendly, but Xia Chengzhou was much too nasty.
He was horrible.
During that encounter, Su Jiushan witnessed the entire scene from outside the cafeteria.
As Yu Gangan approached, she blocked her path with impatience and disgust. “Did you think you could attract Senior Xia’s attention with that trick?” she warned.
Yu Gangan’s lips twitched a little, “Dr. Su, do you have a misunderstanding?”
“I’m sure you know whether it’s a misunderstanding,” Su Jiushan sneered. “Let me remind you from the kindness of my heart: don’t assume that every man is interested in you just because you are young. Senior Xia is a man with substance, he would never like someone like you!!”
