The Magnificent Son-in-law

Chapter 221: Too Few Listeners


To young miss, Xiao Feng was a bit puzzled. Sometimes she seemed clueless, but when really questioned, she spoke logically.

Is this pretending to be dumb?

Xiao Feng wasn't sure, but he was comforted that she understood these things.

Carrying the buns back to the hospital, Qingyue was shocked: "Why did you two buy so many buns? When will you finish eating them?"

"We don't need to finish them. Lone Wolf will take care of them all." Xiao Feng laughed, leaving a bag of buns and tossing the other to Lone Wolf in the next room, who was just waking up from being drunk.

"Sister Qingyue, can you guess how much we spent on these two large bags of buns?" The young miss said mysteriously.

Qingyue thought for a moment and tentatively asked, "Didn't spend any money?"

"Ugh, that's no fun at all." The young miss said displeased: "Sister Qingyue, even if you guessed it right, you should cooperate with me and start with two wrong answers first. You said the correct answer right away, I've lost all my sense of achievement."

Qingyue was bemused: "Alright, alright, then let me guess how you got the buns for free?"

"Okay, okay!" The young miss nodded excitedly, "Go ahead, guess."

"Did you two rob someone?" Qingyue asked very cooperatively.

The young miss shook her head, "No."

"Then were you selected as lucky customers and got free buns?"

"No."

"The shopkeeper is an acquaintance, so they felt awkward asking for money?"

"Still no."

Qingyue spread her hands, "Then I can't guess, you tell me."

The young miss instantly became excited: "This is quite a story. Early in the morning, just at dawn, Brother Xiao Feng asked me to go jogging with him..."

At this point, the young miss suddenly paused, her eyes began scanning the room.

"What's wrong?" Qingyue was a bit confused.

"Feels like something's missing..." The young miss pondered, touching her chin, then suddenly clapped her hand on her forehead: "Oh right, during such a 'highlight moment', there are too few listeners. Wait a minute, I'll call Fat Bo and Sister Xiuxiu to join and share my joy."

Xiao Feng and Qingyue exchanged a look, both feeling a bit helpless. This zeal of the young miss, no one knew who she learned it from.

But it was fine when it was on others, but in the young miss, it only felt innocent and adorable.

In some ways, the young miss and Wang Lubo were two extremes, the former no matter what she did, you couldn't dislike her, while the latter often made people want to slap him to death.

Xiao Feng still remembered vividly, Wang Lubo in heavy makeup, holding an orchid-patched hand, catwalking into the police station, that scene was unforgettable for anyone who saw it!

About an hour later, Wang Lubo, with Chen Xiuxiu, hurriedly came out of the elevator.

They were the only two in the elevator, Xiao Feng suspected it was because other patients' families and medical staff feared it would be overweight or break down mid-way, so they didn't dare to ride with them.

"Brother Feng, you're really not being fair!" Wang Lubo complained as soon as he saw Xiao Feng, frowning from afar.

Xiao Feng was somewhat unresponsive, how was he not being fair?

"Sister-in-law had such a major incident, and you didn't even tell me. If Shihan hadn't called me, I wouldn't have known about it even now." Wang Lubo scolded him head on: "Brother Feng, you and I are brothers. Brothers should share blessings and difficulties together. You shouldn't carry everything yourself."

Xiao Feng's heart warmed, and he didn't mind Wang Lubo's tone, explaining: "It's not that I didn't tell you, even if I did, it would only add another person to worry. You're not some miracle doctor who can solve the key issue."

"How come I can't solve the key issue?" Wang Lubo said unhappily, then picked up his phone and made a call: "Hurry and bring up the stuff, be quick, don't dawdle."

Just as he finished speaking, the elevator at the end of the hallway opened, and it was packed with high-end gift boxes, stacked so high they reached the top of the elevator.

There was tonic wine, ginseng chicken soup, and many other things no one could name, all without exception were tonic items.

Seven or eight people spent a full five minutes moving everything over, then wiped the sweat off their faces and asked breathlessly: "Boss, everything... everything's been brought up."

Wang Lubo pointed to Qingyue's hospital room: "Move them inside."

The seven or eight people exchanged glances; they had seen rich and extravagant people, but this level of extravagance was a first.

So many tonic items, are you sure they won't supplement her to death?

Inside the hospital room, Qingyue was also dumbfounded: "What are you guys doing?"

"Boss Wang asked us to deliver these. We just deliver, we're not supposed to worry about other matters." One person said in a business-like tone.

"Boss Wang?" Qingyue frowned slightly. Among the rich people she knew, quite a few had the surname Wang, but who could have sent these?

Just then, the massive figure of Wang Lubo walked in, bowing deeply as he entered: "Hello sister-in-law, I heard you got hurt, so I specially brought a small token."

"..." Qingyue looked at the gift boxes nearly blocking the window, honestly not knowing what to say. This was a small token?

At this moment, Chen Xiuxiu, who was behind Wang Lubo, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Hello sister-in-law, I'm Chen Xiuxiu, I am Wang Lubo's..."

Here, Chen Xiuxiu looked at Wang Lubo, seemingly uncertain how to define their relation.

Calling friends, they were closer than that, but calling a couple was still off.

The young miss quickly interjected: "Let me introduce, she's Fat Bo's girlfriend. Sister Xiuxiu is really nice, she took me to eat many delicious foods."

Chen Xiuxiu gratefully glanced at the young miss. With her around, a lot of awkwardness could indeed be avoided.

And Wang Lubo didn't say much, not that he really recognized Chen Xiuxiu, he just didn't want to embarrass her in front of everyone.

"Hello, I'm Qingyue." Qingyue smiled and extended her hand to Chen Xiuxiu, nodding sincerely: "You two indeed suit each other."

Chen Xiuxiu also extended her hand and shook Qingyue's hand. They exchanged smiles, both finding each other agreeable.

After the delivery people left, Xiao Feng came in, addressing Wang Lubo without much humor: "Do you really have no other way to spend your money? What are you doing with all this useless stuff, trying to get me to open a shop?"

In Xiao Feng's eyes, these so-called tonic health products were honestly no different from trash.

Don't expect these things to have any effect. Not having any bad effects is already a blessing!

The kind of thing that seems a waste to discard, yet tasteless to consume.

Qingyue spoke, "Actually, you two visiting me already makes me very happy. Just based on the relationship between you and Xiao Feng, there's no need to bring so much stuff. But since you've brought it, thank you!"

This was undoubtedly smoothing things over for Xiao Feng. And Wang Lubo, as if unaware of the underlying meaning, said nonchalantly: "This is nothing. The real good stuff hasn't even been brought out yet."

Saying this, he clapped his hands, and the staff who'd been waiting came in, carrying an item.

The item was covered with a red cloth, externally appearing to be a long object, unveiled to reveal a box made of sandalwood.

Xiao Feng's eyes lit up. The saying goes that a good horse deserves a well-made saddle, and the box was made of top-quality sandalwood, so the item inside must be even more precious.

Wang Lubo carefully handed the box to Xiao Feng: "This is a thousand-year-old ginseng I stole from my grandfather before coming to Jiangcheng. I was thinking of auctioning it if I ever hit rock bottom, but I think sister-in-law could use it."

Everyone present couldn't help feeling speechless. Talking so righteously about something he stole, how thick-skinned was Wang Lubo?

But this act showed, plainly, that Wang Lubo truly considered Xiao Feng a brother. No need for hiding; it is what it is, no need for embarrassment.
