Chapter 1933: Chapter 1928: Threatening Me?
Hearing such a blunt question, the woman on the bed rubbed her nose awkwardly.
Very quickly, she exchanged a glance with her daughter-in-law.
After that, she coughed and said quickly, "You heard wrong, what ’pretending to be sick’? I said ’being sick’ just now! Let’s not talk about that. The money, have you got it ready? The doctor has already notified us, we really can’t drag this on any longer, we have to pay today. If we don’t, they’re going to kick us out of here."
She knew she couldn’t continue on this topic now, so after a random explanation she swiftly changed the subject.
Feng Junjun gave her a deep look and said, "Mom, I brought my boyfriend with me today!"
With Feng Junjun’s words, everyone shifted their gaze to Hu Xiaobei.
Knowing it was his cue, Hu Xiaobei smiled lightly and said, "Hello, auntie! I’m Hu Xiaobei. I’m Junjun’s boyfriend, you can call me Xiaobei."
As he spoke, Hu Xiaobei put the cigarettes and liquor he’d brought down on the small cabinet by her bed.
The woman was a bit stunned by Feng Junjun’s introduction.
It took her quite a while to come back to her senses from that daze.
Glancing at what Hu Xiaobei had brought, she said with a cold sneer, "You even brought liquor? What’s that supposed to mean! Who brings liquor when visiting a patient?"
Before Hu Xiaobei could respond to this sneer, Junjun’s younger brother’s expression had already changed.
He glared at her fiercely, hurried over to the woman, and whispered, "If you don’t understand, then don’t talk nonsense here. This is top-shelf liquor, outside it’s close to twenty thousand a bottle! That cigarette is also top-shelf, all this stuff adds up to nearly a hundred thousand."
"This..."
She stared wide-eyed in shock.
"Mom, you’re right! I was in a rush when I came before, so I just grabbed this casually. Now that I think about it, it really isn’t appropriate, I’ll go with Junjun to buy some fruit or something instead."
As he spoke, Hu Xiaobei reached out, ready to take the items back.
Seeing his movement, Junjun’s younger brother and sister-in-law glared at her fiercely again.
In their eyes, she should have just kept her mouth shut.
After being glared at again, she realized she really had messed up.
She coughed and quickly said, "Well... since you’ve already brought it, then don’t take it back. It’s your token of goodwill, after all!"
"Alright then."
Giving her a long look, Hu Xiaobei spoke calmly.
After that, he sat down by the bed. "Auntie, I studied Chinese Medicine for a while before, let me take your pulse and see whether your condition is really that serious."
Hearing this, she quickly waved her hand, "No need to bother, my son already had someone come check me thoroughly before!"
He glanced at her and smiled faintly. "It’s no bother, really, it’s no bother at all!"
Hearing him say that, she didn’t know what to say anymore!
...
Seeing the atmosphere turn a bit awkward, Junjun’s younger brother quickly spoke up, "Brother-in-law Xiaobei, right! I’ve already had someone look at Mom’s problem, she really doesn’t need you to look again."
At this point, he turned to Feng Junjun and urged, "Sis, don’t waste time, hurry up and give me the money so I can go pay it, then we can hurry up and arrange a treatment plan. If we keep dragging this out, her condition is really going to get worse and worse."
"Exactly!"
Hearing his urging, Feng Junjun glanced at Hu Xiaobei.
Thinking that he wouldn’t harm her, she looked at her mother and said, "Mom, let Xiaobei take a look at you, his Medical Skill is really good."
...
"You’ve got to be kidding me!"
As soon as Junjun spoke, they all cursed viciously in their hearts.
Before this, they’d sweet-talked and hoodwinked Feng Junjun more than once, and every time they’d succeeded.
This time they figured it should go just as smoothly, but the result was not what they’d hoped.
"Sis, you know I brought in an expert from the hospital this time. If he finds out someone else is also poking around while he’s treating her, he’ll definitely be pissed."
"Exactly, let’s not stir up any extra trouble at a time like this."
As they spoke, they were hoping that friend would show up soon, because once he appeared, the awkwardness in the room could be eased.
Maybe their prayers were heard.
Right after they finished speaking, a young man in a white lab coat pushed the door open and walked in.
...
"Heaven really is on my side, heaven is on my side!"
Murmuring in excitement, Junjun’s younger brother rushed over immediately.
At the same time, he quickly winked at his friend.
The guy in the white coat instantly understood what he meant.
Seeing that he’d gotten the hint, Junjun’s younger brother quickly said, "Doctor, I know you’re here to urge us to pay again, we’ll go pay right away."
The doctor swept a look over everyone and said impatiently, "Mm! Hurry up! We’re all waiting! If you still don’t pay, then stop hogging this single room."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"That’s right, I only arranged such a nice room for you because we know each other, and what happened? You still haven’t paid all this time, what are you people thinking?"
"We were in the wrong before! We’ll pay right away, right away."
After saying that, he turned to Feng Junjun and said, "Sis, he’s urging us, hurry up and pay! Otherwise Mom’s really going to be in trouble."
Hearing this, Feng Junjun looked at Hu Xiaobei.
He smiled and walked up to the doctor. "Hello, doctor, I’d like to ask what exactly the patient’s condition is."
"Who are you, why should I be talking to you?"
At this impatient response, Hu Xiaobei said calmly, "I’m the patient’s future son-in-law, and I’m the one paying that three hundred thousand. I think I’m entitled to know what’s going on, don’t you?"
Hu Xiaobei wasn’t an idiot; he’d noticed the eye contact between the doctor and Junjun’s younger brother.
So he knew this guy wasn’t anything good, and because of that, he didn’t bother with politeness and shot back directly.
Stung by Hu Xiaobei’s comeback, the doctor’s eyelid twitched.
He was about to lose his temper when he saw Feng Yan, Junjun’s younger brother, wink at him.
Knowing he couldn’t blow up right now, he took a deep breath and said, "You wouldn’t understand medical stuff even if I told you. All you need to know is that her condition is very serious. So for her sake, you’d better hurry up and pay."
"Whether I understand or not is my business. Right now I just want to know her specific condition. Is that supposed to be some kind of secret? If that’s how it is, then I’m not paying a cent!"
"What do you mean by that? Threatening me? I’m telling you, don’t go looking for trouble, or I’ll have her thrown out of here in minutes."
"Do as you please."
Hu Xiaobei let out a cold laugh and stopped talking...
