Chapter 54

Less than two minutes later, Shu Xia, who had gone into the bedroom, came out.

In her hand, she held a convenience store bag.

Qiao Muting did not understand what she was doing for a moment.

"There are a few bags of tea inside. I blended them myself according to an ancient recipe; they are good for sleep. I didn't blend many, so you can drink these first."

Shu Xia handed the bag over.

She had read many books at Zhong Nainai's house, so she was capable of blending some ancient recipes. The medicine Qiao Nainai used for foot baths before was also blended by her, and it was very beneficial to the body.

"It's also tea?" Qiao Muting took it, and a faint medicinal fragrance drifted out from the bag.

She had stopped him just to give him tea?

"Tea and tea are different. The tea I blended helps with sleep; you probably can't buy it outside. It's too late, so I'm going to sleep first. Goodnight, Mr. Qiao." After Shu Xia finished speaking, she returned to her bedroom.

She was truly a bit sleepy.

Of course, what she said was not an exaggeration. Zhong Nainai had said that those ancient books were almost one-of-a-kind; since they couldn't be bought outside, naturally, no one else would have seen them.

Qiao Muting's gaze darkened. She still hadn't opened her mouth to ask him for help. Could it be that she was too embarrassed to ask?

So she gave him some things first?

Carrying the bag, he also went into his own bedroom.

Half an hour later, Qiao Muting walked out of his bedroom, went downstairs with a tea bag in his hand, and brewed a cup of tea again.

A scent with a medicinal fragrance quickly drifted out. The smell was not strong; it was not like those Chinese medicine decoctions that made one frown just by smelling them.

"Can it be useful?" Qiao Muting said softly and skeptically.

He recalled her massage technique and hoped that, like her massage technique, it wouldn't just be a claim of being useful for sleep while actually having the negligible effect of any other health tea.

If it really was useful, for the sake of these tea bags and his grandmother, he would help her this one time.

The cup of hot tea slowly reached the bottom.

Qiao Muting went back upstairs and returned to his bedroom.

The moment he lay on the bed, he didn't know if it was psychological, but the irritability of his insomnia had actually decreased by a lot.

So, it counted as useful?

——

At six o'clock the next morning, Shu Xia woke up.

She took a look at the comments online regarding her matter.

After a night of fermentation, coupled with the push from the Lin Family's public relations, the trend had completely changed, and everyone was urging her to make a public apology.

Just as she was about to edit a video to post on her Weibo and other accounts, a voice message from Gu Cheng popped up on her phone.

"Shu Xia, Shu Xia, have you seen Weibo? It seems the Lin Family's public relations have taken action against you! Lin Miao is actually a member of the Lin Family."

"This matter has blown up. Shu Xia, don't be afraid first; I'll help you think of a way! These two shameless people, they are not only being unreasonable and refusing to admit it, but they are also trying to smear you!"

After listening to Gu Cheng's voice message, Shu Xia replied that she wasn't afraid, and then she began to edit the video and text to post.

As for Gu Cheng, after sending the voice message, he cursed several times in a row.

Slap, slap, slap!

The back of his head was patted several times in a row.

Gu Cheng let out an 'ow' and turned to look at his grandfather who had hit him, "Grandfather!"

"Your mouth is filthy early in the morning. Your parents aren't in Jing City right now, so I, your grandfather, will discipline you properly!" Gu Lao snorted and put on a very stern face as he spoke.

Gu Cheng cried out in pain repeatedly, "I am your only eldest grandson. If you hit me until I'm stupid, you'll be the one who feels sorry! I wasn't cursing on purpose; someone is bullying Shu Xia, and I couldn't take it."

"Shu Xia? Is that the little girl who knows how to restore ancient artifacts that you told me about two days ago?" Gu Lao was used to Gu Cheng's posturing and didn't take it too seriously.
