Chapter 1932: Chapter 1927: Let It Slip
"Master Xiaobei, next time give me a bit more notice. I ran into traffic just now and almost didn’t make it in time!"
Huahua looked at Hu Xiaobei, feeling frustrated.
She was truly frustrated at this moment.
Earlier, she was sorting things in the office when she suddenly received a text from Hu Xiaobei requesting her to buy some items. In a hurry, she ran out to make the purchase, almost being late.
Knowing she was indeed a bit in the wrong, Hu Xiaobei quickly apologized, "This time it’s my fault. I didn’t remember to buy things until I was in the car. Thank you for the trouble."
While apologizing quickly, Hu Xiaobei took the cigarettes and white wine from her hand.
Hearing Hu Xiaobei’s sincere apology, she smiled and said, "Since you apologized, let’s forget it!"
Seeing her accept his apology, Hu Xiaobei quickly pointed towards the pedestrian street opposite, "Well, since you’re already out, why not go buy a pair of shoes too? Remember to keep the receipt for reimbursement. If you lose the receipt, I won’t care about it!"
"Master Xiaobei, you said it! I’ve had my eye on a pair of shoes for a long time. I just couldn’t bring myself to buy them before."
"Alright! No matter the price, you can buy them."
"Hooray!"
She cheered happily and ran off excitedly.
Seeing her happiness, Hu Xiaobei smiled gently.
...
"Why buy so many things? My mom is the patient and doesn’t use them. Besides, they are expensive."
Even though Feng Junjun doesn’t smoke or drink, she knows something about them, so she knows they are indeed not cheap.
Hu Xiaobei smiled mysteriously, "These are useful. You’ll find out what for in a bit."
Saying this mysteriously, Hu Xiaobei led her to the elevator, "Which floor is it?"
"Fifteenth floor!"
"Okay!"
As they spoke, they boarded the elevator...
...
"Don’t be nervous!"
In the elevator, sensing her anxiety, Hu Xiaobei smiled gently.
"Okay!"
Reassured by Hu Xiaobei, she bit her soft lip lightly.
Soon, the elevator reached the fifteenth floor, and after the doors opened, Hu Xiaobei and she walked out together.
"This hospital isn’t small!"
Not having been here before, Hu Xiaobei was a bit surprised at the size of the hospital with its hundreds of rooms.
"To the left!"
"Okay!"
Chatting as they walked, Hu Xiaobei and she stopped outside a ward.
Just as Feng Junjun was about to open the door, the door opened first.
"Why are you here?"
Surprised by this sudden question, Feng Junjun softly replied, "I came to see our mom. How is her health, brother?"
The man replied awkwardly, "Much better, much better! Just don’t rush to see us yet, transfer the money to my card first, the hospital has been urging us again."
Hearing this urgent prompt, Feng Junjun frowned slightly, "I’m right at the ward’s door, at least let me see her first."
"You can see her anytime! First, transfer the money to me."
"This so-called brother just wants money, huh! Definitely seems a bit off!"
Thinking this, Hu Xiaobei took a step forward and quickly spoke, "You must be my girlfriend’s brother! Junjun often talks about you. Now that I see you in person, you’re a really handsome young man."
His sudden comment left both of them stunned.
Feng Junjun was stunned because she didn’t expect Hu Xiaobei to say that. Her brother was stunned because he didn’t expect his sister to suddenly have a boyfriend.
After scrutinizing Hu Xiaobei, he turned to Feng Junjun and asked, "Sister, is this your boyfriend?"
Feng Junjun looked at Hu Xiaobei in shock, saw him wink at her, and nodded lightly, "Yes, he is my boyfriend. His name is Hu Xiaobei!"
Though puzzled by why Hu Xiaobei said this, she decided to play along, knowing he wouldn’t deceive her.
Feeling relieved that Feng Junjun recognized his identity, Hu Xiaobei relaxed a bit.
He was genuinely worried she might deny him, which would have been awkward.
After a sigh of relief, Hu Xiaobei looked at the young man and said, "I wasn’t around before, but now that I’m back, of course, I should come see our mom, right?"
"This..."
"What is it? Is our mom’s illness contagious?"
"No, it’s not!"
He quickly denied it.
Reluctant to let them in directly for two reasons: he wanted Feng Junjun to quickly transfer money to his account, and he knew his mom was in there consuming pig trotters.
If Junjun saw this scene, she’d surely realize her mom was feigning illness.
Hearing his denial, Hu Xiaobei continued, "Since it’s not contagious, let us in to see her! I really want to show my filial piety."
"Alright then!"
He realized he couldn’t block them any longer, so he quickly stepped aside...
He hoped the people inside heard what was being said, and had tidied up almost completely.
Thinking this, he quickly opened the door.
As the door opened, voices could be heard.
"Hurry and buy another pig knuckle; I still feel hungry. Pretending to be sick is really agonizing."
"You gotta be kidding me!"
Hearing that, the young man’s expression changed...
He quickly coughed and said, "Mom, my sister is here to see you!"
With those words still in the air, before entering the room, Hu Xiaobei and Feng Junjun heard the commotion inside.
Hu Xiaobei sensed there was indeed something wrong!
Sighing quietly, he and the expressionless Feng Junjun walked in together.
Just as they stepped in, Hu Xiaobei smelled the aroma of food, creating an illusion at that moment that he was not entering a hospital room, but rather a food court.
Soon, they both walked in together.
It was a single-bed ward...
In the center of the room was a large bed, on which a very well-fed-looking woman sat a bit awkwardly.
Seeing the grease on her lips, Hu Xiaobei knew she hadn’t eaten little just now.
"Junjun, you’re here!"
"Mom, what’s going on? Didn’t the doctor say before to avoid greasy food?"
"I didn’t eat it! Your brother and his wife were really exhausted, so they ordered a bit of food. I saw there were leftovers and nibbled just a little. In this condition, I can’t eat much after all."
Hearing such a vague explanation, Hu Xiaobei rubbed his nose. He really felt like giving her a slap!
Because she was blatantly lying!
She was full of energy now, looking nothing like a sick person...
As Hu Xiaobei was at a loss for words, Feng Junjun spoke again, "Is that so! Then how come I heard you asking my brother to buy more, saying something about pretending to be sick. What does that mean?"
