Chapter 1963: Chapter 1958: Refusing to Leave?
As Hu Xiaobei was waiting expectantly, Feng Junjun, who was standing beside him, also heard the increasingly close sound of hurried footsteps.
She knew that obviously someone was approaching.
"Could it be Mengmeng?"
Thinking this, Feng Junjun looked ahead with particular seriousness.
Very soon, Feng Junjun realized she was right!
It really was Mengmeng.
But at this moment, it wasn’t just Mengmeng walking over by herself.
Beside Mengmeng, there was also a woman with a face as cold as water.
The woman’s expression was grim, looking especially terrifying...
"Truly frightening!"
Muttering this, Feng Junjun again looked towards Mengmeng, and she noticed Mengmeng had her head lowered, seeming a bit downcast.
"What’s wrong?"
Surprised, Feng Junjun scrutinized more carefully and discovered that Mengmeng’s face and eyes were red, evidently from crying earlier.
"What exactly happened? When she left earlier, wasn’t she fine?"
Frowning, Feng Junjun murmured with some distress.
For Mengmeng, she had a particular fondness, so seeing her aggrieved, she felt especially heartbroken.
...
At this time, Mengmeng, who was walking with her head down, saw her mother stop.
"What’s wrong?"
Mengmeng lifted her head in surprise and saw Hu Xiaobei and Feng Junjun standing not far away, looking at her.
At that moment, she excitedly exclaimed, "You came so quickly? Has it already been revived?"
After saying this, Mengmeng looked enthusiastically at the woman with the grim expression and explained earnestly, "Mom, let me introduce you, these are the people I sought help from this time. Now that they’re here, that must mean it has been revived."
"Is that so?"
With a nonchalant and eerie smile, the woman turned to look at Hu Xiaobei, who was about her daughter’s age.
For some reason, she felt a particularly dangerous aura emanating from Hu Xiaobei.
Honestly, young people like Hu Xiaobei she generally wouldn’t pay much attention to because they’re just too young.
But now, she had to take him seriously because she realized this young man was completely different from others she had met before.
Hu Xiaobei glanced at Mengmeng and smiled lightly, "As for it, I’ve almost finished treating it!"
He said this and then looked at the woman, "You’re Mengmeng’s mother? The cultivator of that pot of plants, right? I’d like to have a chat with you. Do you mind finding a place to talk with me?"
"To be honest, I do mind! You are not welcome here, please leave immediately."
She gave Hu Xiaobei a glance and spoke coldly.
She couldn’t see through Hu Xiaobei at all...
For this reason, she didn’t intend to continue interacting with him.
In her view, if she continued her interactions with him, it would only bring trouble to herself.
Hu Xiaobei heard her words and smiled faintly, "We’re friends of Mengmeng too, isn’t it a bit rude to just drive us away like that?"
"Are you refusing to leave?"
Seeing her frown, Hu Xiaobei shrugged, "I wouldn’t say that! It’s just that it’s hard to come across a peer, so of course, I want to have a good conversation."
"Peer? You’re a Chinese Medicine practitioner too?"
"Yes, if I weren’t, I couldn’t have diagnosed the issue with that pot of plants, right?"
"That’s indeed the case!"
She remained silent for a second, her gaze beginning to flicker...
Hu Xiaobei knew she was hesitating...
But he wasn’t worried at all...
Because everything was within Hu Xiaobei’s control.
Seeing Hu Xiaobei constantly smile at her, she knew he was obviously full of confidence.
"I must see if you really have some skills!"
Thinking that she also had quite a few cards up her sleeve, she gradually regained her composure.
Soon, she said, "So young and capable, since you want to chat, I naturally won’t refuse!"
Having said that, she looked at Mengmeng, "Mengmeng, I’m going to have a chat with him, you stay here and make sure to take good care of this young lady. Make her feel at home, don’t be reserved."
"Okay, I will!"
Mengmeng nodded lightly...
Hu Xiaobei gave Mengmeng a deep look, then withdrew his gaze.
At this time, a slightly mocking voice reached Hu Xiaobei’s ears, "Let’s go, let’s have a good chat over there."
"Alright!"
Hu Xiaobei readily agreed...
...
"Little brother Xiaobei..."
Feng Junjun seemed slightly concerned at this moment.
Because she sensed something particularly evil about that woman.
She knew this was her sixth sense...
This didn’t mean anything, but it did suggest that she was really dangerous.
"Junjun, no need to worry. Although my mom seems scary, she’s really nice."
Hearing Mengmeng’s words, Feng Junjun glanced at Mengmeng with some concern, "Really? Then why did she hit you earlier?"
"It was because I told you about this place, my mom really wants to live in seclusion and doesn’t like others coming here."
"I see!"
Feng Junjun was half-convinced.
"That’s how it is. Alright, let’s go to my room."
"Sure!"
...
On the other side, Hu Xiaobei and the woman arrived at a gazebo...
"So, how do you find my place?"
Seeing Hu Xiaobei’s composure, she asked with a beaming smile.
She had an abstract look, and now when she smiled, it looked truly terrifying.
Hu Xiaobei looked at her expressionlessly and hoarsely said, "It’s all mishmash, looks strange."
"Mishmash? What do you mean?"
"What do I mean? You can’t see for yourself?"
Mocking like this, Hu Xiaobei pointed towards the nearby Medicinal Garden.
Seeing her look over, Hu Xiaobei said coldly, "Those herbs over there are really good, but later they’ve been artificially modified, unfortunately, the one who modified them still thinks they did well. In reality, it’s all rubbish, totally superfluous and unnecessary."
At first, the woman’s face was fine.
After hearing Hu Xiaobei’s words, her expression grew increasingly ugly.
Soon, she coldly said, "You’re talking nonsense, for so many years I’ve specialized in modifying herbs professionally, and now I have extraordinary achievements. And you say I’m superfluous? Do you have the authority to say that? Do you?"
"Oh, I just barely started sharing my thoughts, and you’re annoyed already! You can’t afford to be so touchy! When people arrive, you should maintain poise."
Hearing this taunt, her face darkened as she eyed Hu Xiaobei for a few moments. Soon, she laughed.
"Indeed! I’ve become a bit uneasy, that’s my fault. I have some fine tea here, would you care to try it?"
"Of course, just chatting would be no good, having something to drink is definitely a pleasure."
"Since you’re interested, I’ll surely bring out my best collection, so when the time comes, make sure to savor it."
Laughing like this, she quickly started preparing, while Hu Xiaobei watched calmly, saying nothing, just observing her.
Hu Xiaobei wanted to see how she planned to proceed with this act.
