Chapter 32: Bad Friends
The cook was fired, but Sun Xiafang and Lin Pinyan had no qualms at all. After all, they were both the de facto hostess of the Lin family, so what was the big deal about firing an old maid?
"If you don't want to eat, then don't eat. My Yan'er, tell me quickly, did someone make you unhappy today?" Sun Xiafang held her daughter's arm and they both sat on the sofa.
Lin Pinyan told Sun Xiafang what happened to her early this morning. The two of them cursed each other for a long time before Lin Yilan stopped.
Lin Yilan, who was the center of the topic, ate her lunch happily. She rubbed her slightly protruding belly and looked as satisfied as a little hamster.
After packing up, Lin Yilan poured Huo Juncheng a glass of water and said, "I think you're almost recovered. When are we going back?"
People who practice martial arts for a long time are more sensitive to the human body. Lin Yilan judged based on her own experience that Huo Juncheng's physique is actually quite good, and his recovery speed should be much faster than that of ordinary people. At this level, there is no need for him to stay in the ward any longer.
Huo Juncheng has slender fingers. Since he has lived in a relatively affluent environment since he was a child, it is not an exaggeration to use them to play the piano. He holds an apple in one hand and a fruit knife in the other, and he peels the fruit seriously as if he is doing some very noble handicraft.
"Isn't it more fun here at the hospital? You were the hero who saved the damsel in distress before."
The thin apple skin rolled out in strands, just like taking off the apple's thin clothes. It was completely different from the painful scene when I peeled the apple before.
Lin Yilan was so stunned that she didn't even notice Huo Juncheng was insulting her: "Ah, what did you just say?"
Huo Juncheng didn't have the patience to repeat himself. He put the peeled apple into Lin Yilan's hands before changing the subject: "If you find it boring here, I can leave the hospital anytime."
If you have difficulty walking, there is actually not much difference between staying in the hospital to recuperate and going home to recuperate.
"It's different now that I have a fiancée. Her preferences have become the key to whether I can be discharged from the hospital."
"The security of this hospital really needs to be reorganized." Without even raising his head, Huo Juncheng knew that the person who spoke was his bad friend Zheng Ronglan.
Lin Yilan had met him before, so it wasn't strange for him to come visit her: "You're here."
After greeting Zheng Ronglan, he turned to look at Huo Juncheng and said, "You can peel an apple for him too."
His sister-in-law actually... actually asked Huo Juncheng to peel an apple for her? Zheng Ronglan's mouth opened in surprise. Looking at his brother Huo Juncheng, who was even more pleasing to the eye than usual around Lin Yilan, Zheng Ronglan felt that this world was a little unreal.
"Sister-in-law, do you know that Huo Juncheng has never done anything for others in his life?" Zheng Ronglan felt that it was absolutely necessary for her to educate her future sister-in-law.
"You're the only one who talks too much!"
Lin Yilan glanced at the apple in her hand with some confusion: "Do you have any misunderstandings about your friend? Has he done a lot of good things for me, or does he just not do anything for you?"
Zheng Ronglan, who was standing next to her, felt offended. "Sister-in-law, you really hit the nail on the head. I'm a little tired, what should I do?"
Huo Juncheng was quite satisfied with Zheng Ronglan's frustrated look, and he didn't mind chiming in: "You're absolutely right, I just don't want to work for him!"
"Huo Juncheng, you've got a wife and you've forgotten your mother! Oh no, you got a wife and you've forgotten your brothers. The two of you actually teamed up to oppress me. It's a shame I came all the way here to see you!"
Then Zheng Ronglan started to sob, and Huo Juncheng couldn't stand it anymore and almost threw the fruit knife in his hand at her to make her shut up.
After making a fuss for a while, Zheng Ronglan started to talk serious matters with Huo Juncheng, but before that he turned to look at Lin Yilan.
"Sister-in-law, would you like to pour me a glass of water?" Zheng Ronglan looked at Lin Yilan with a smile. He didn't really insist on asking Lin Yilan to pour him water. The key point was that some of the content of this conversation was relatively private.
Lin Yilan is an honest person. Since Zheng Ronglan feels thirsty, there is nothing wrong with helping to pour water. It’s just that Huo Juncheng reacted first.
"If you want to drink water, pour it yourself. It's okay for her to stay here."
Huo Juncheng already treated Lin Yilan as his own. Since they were all family, there was no reason for Lin Yilan to avoid him no matter what he said.
Zheng Ronglan had nothing to refute about his friend's decision. Since Huo Juncheng thought it was okay, then it didn't matter to him either.
"You haven't noticed these past few days in the hospital, but those old guards at the Huo family are getting restless, and some have even made some small moves. Do you want to go back and scare them?"
Because Huo Juncheng was in the hospital and had not shown up for such a long time, some voices on the board of directors inevitably began to make noises. It seemed that some of them had had ulterior motives for a long time.
Huo Juncheng nodded in understanding. These changes and movements were all within Huo Juncheng's expectations.
"That's fine, let them be. They won't cause much of a wave."
Who wouldn't be jealous of the Huo family's immense wealth? But why has the Huo family remained in this city for so long, with their family business growing ever larger? Could they possibly have subdued these evildoers without some real skills?
Zheng Ronglan did not doubt his brother's ability, but he was well-informed. When he heard it, he hurried over to inform Huo Juncheng so that he could be prepared.
"Since you've said that, I'll just leave it alone. I came here in such a hurry that I didn't even get a bite to eat!"
"Crack!" The sound of Lin Yilan biting the apple sounded unusually crisp in the room.
“…”
"Huo Juncheng, are you really not going to peel an apple for your brother?" Zheng Ronglan suddenly felt a pang of jealousy. What was going on? Was he jealous of his sister-in-law?
Huo Juncheng, who was sitting on the bed, still had a cold expression, with a hint of disdain in his eyes: "No!"
"Crack!" Lin Yilan bit off the last piece of flesh from the apple. Seeing Zheng Ronglan's angry expression, she had no choice but to say, "If you don't mind, I'll peel the apple for you!"
An apple soon? Here she comes!
"I mind!"
"Huo Juncheng, that's enough. You don't want to peel an apple for me, and you don't let others do it?" Zheng Ronglan's face was full of rich expressions.
Huo Juncheng still had a cold expression on his face: "Why would my fiancée peel an apple for you? If you want to eat an apple, just come and eat it yourself. Don't you know that you can have enough food and clothing by doing it yourself?"
Why does this sentence sound familiar? Lin Yilan continued to maintain her character as a spectator, silently withdrawing from the vortex.
"Oh, you're the kind of person who abandons his brothers for beauty!"
