Chapter 229: Chapter 229

This made Su Li even more nervous.

According to the TV drama plot, Feng Huaijin’s mother probably wouldn’t like a girl from a humble family like her, might even throw five million at her: "Leave my son, and the five million is yours!" Dıscover more novels at novelFɪre.net

Su Li walked forward with the flower basket, sighing inwardly.

If Feng Huaijin’s mother said that, she wouldn’t be lacking those five million.

Su Li sneaked a glance at Feng Huaijin’s profile, feeling a bit embarrassed.

This melodramatic script clearly didn’t fit them, as the two of them weren’t a couple.

Madam Feng didn’t need to worry about anything happening between them.

Su Li followed Feng Huaijin to the third floor of the north building. This part of the north building was completely different from where Su Li had been before; it turned out to be a high-end ward area, with one or two guards always seen at the door.

As they stepped into ward 302, everyone in the large room turned to look at Su Li.

A woman sat hunched on the broad hospital bed, with striking features and a calm demeanor. Though wearing a hospital gown, it was still evident that she was extraordinary, surely a beauty in her youth!

The woman’s face slightly changed as she saw Su Li follow Feng Huaijin in; her hand unconsciously gripped the quilt tighter.

Who in the Feng Family isn’t a sharp one?

Though seemingly unperturbed, they took note of Madam Feng’s subtle expression and quickly conjured various thoughts.

Su Li vaguely sensed the odd atmosphere, yet smiled, placing the flower basket aside, and proactively said, "Auntie, how are you feeling? Wishing you a speedy recovery."

The bedridden Madam Feng hadn’t spoken yet when a long-faced woman adorned in gold and silver, wearing four rings on her fingers, sarcastically said, "Indeed, a woman from a humble household. Calling ’Auntie,’ yet doesn’t know how to address Madam properly?"

Su Li’s face darkened, a surge of anger rising in her heart, feeling inexplicably irritated.

She didn’t even know who this woman was, why was she jumping out like a mad dog to bite her?

Su Li glanced at Feng Huaijin, but instead of waiting for him to speak, she said peculiarly, "I’m Mr. Qi’s close friend. What’s wrong with calling ’Auntie’? May I ask who this lady is? A member of the Feng Family, perhaps Feng Huaijin’s aunt or aunt-in-law?"

Feng Huaijin’s mouth turned up, glancing at Su Li’s feigned confusion, and couldn’t help feeling satisfied.

Seemingly foolish before him, now not so silly after all.

Feng Huaijin’s eyes darkened, silently cursing.

Damn it, who wants to be close friends with her!!!

The long-faced woman almost jumped up like a rat with its tail stepped on!

Her face turned bright red, extremely awkward in the room.

She was neither Feng Huaijin’s aunt nor aunt-in-law.

To be precise, she was the birth mother of the half-siblings sharing the same father as Feng Huaijin...

She was just an insignificant mistress.

This was the women’s greatest vulnerable point, and this young girl had hit it hard upon arrival.

Where’s the gentle and docile lamb? Clearly a rose with thorns!

Su Li snorted coldly in her heart, having gleaned some inside information from Xiao Heng about the Feng Family’s affairs.

As soon as she stepped in and saw that middle-aged woman adorned in gold and silver, eager to show off her wealth, she guessed what kind of person she was.

Provoke her, and she’d step right on her sore spot!

Did they really think she was easy to bully?
