Chapter 399: Chapter 399

"Mom, wait, mom, wait a minute! Let me finish speaking."

Jiang Xiaoxiao could tell from her mom’s expression that Fan Xiuying had misunderstood.

Dealing with such a protective Fan Xiuying, she must have thought Mr. Feng had bad intentions toward her.

How could Fan Xiuying know that her daughter is now the heir to the lost ancient recipes!

Fan Xiuying glared, "Stop talking, this matter is none of your concern. Yes, the child is pitiful; I know that. As a mother, I also hope for that child’s survival, but that’s not for you to handle!

Mr. Feng, are you going to leave yourself or should I throw you out? Let me tell you, my daughter’s future is bright, she has a long way ahead. Even if you are looking for a scapegoat, don’t even think about laying a finger on my daughter.

Otherwise, I’ll fight you with everything I’ve got! Do you hear me? Now get out!"

Fan Xiuying was really angry, not showing any courtesy as she chased the person out.

She slammed the door shut.

She stood with her whole body blocking the door, pointing at Jiang Xiaoxiao, then pointing at the bed.

"Go lie down for me."

Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled wryly and sulked back to the bed.

Right now, there’s no way to explain things clearly to her mom, even if she brags about how capable she is now.

Her mom just wouldn’t believe it.

After all, nobody has ever leaked the slightest bit about performing surgery on Third Brother.

Her mom had always thought it was Mr. Feng who operated on Jiang Lei.

"Mom, isn’t it enough if I just don’t go? Mr. Feng really is something, trying to make me take the fall, no way! How could I fall for it? Mom, don’t worry, I’m smart. I won’t go."

She patted her chest with a face that showed she was craving assurance.

This is a time when she must definitely not upset her own mom.

Otherwise, there would be no end to it.

Fan Xiuying cast a doubtful glance at Jiang Xiaoxiao, "You’re thinking the same?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded her head forcefully, blinking her eyes with utmost sincerity.

"Mom, I was thinking the same, Dean Feng definitely has no one to treat the case, so he wanted me to be the scapegoat. I won’t go, you can trust that! Your daughter is clever. How could I fall for something ?

I’m not going anywhere, just staying here, eating well and sleeping well."

Lying on the pillow, she covered herself with the quilt and closed her eyes.

Fan Xiuying finally sat next to her daughter with relief.

"Xiao Xiao, you haven’t really become a doctor yet. Treating and saving people is not something I don’t want you to do, but you have to wait until you’ve truly learned the skills. You rest well now, mom will keep watch here; no one will disturb my daughter’s rest!"

She gently tidied Jiang Xiaoxiao’s hair and looked at her affectionately.

Jiang Xiaoxiao rubbed her stomach with a pitiful face, full of craving.

Fan Xiuying lovingly caressed Jiang Xiaoxiao’s face, which had grown thinner.

"You do need a little nourishment! Look how much weight you’ve lost these past few days! What do you want to eat? Tell me, and I’ll come up with a way to get it for you! Or I’ll cook it for you when I get home."

The chicken porridge just now couldn’t fill you up.

The kid’s been hungry for three days, it’s definitely not sustainable.

Better have something substantial.

Jiang Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, "Mom, I want to eat your small wontons, the kind made with chicken broth as the base. Just thinking about it makes me so hungry, mom, I want to eat that!"

Clinging to Fan Xiuying’s arm, acting spoiled.

Fan Xiuying paused for a moment; making these small wontons isn’t hard, the tough part is the broth, needing to simmer a hen for several hours.

It’s already eleven o’clock in the afternoon; if you want to eat it, you’d have to wait until at least five or six in the evening.

"How about you eat something else first? And then mom will make it for you when we get home."

"Mom, I don’t want anything else, I just crave small wontons! Mom, I want small wontons."

Jiang Xiaoxiao unleashed her charm as the little rascal of the family, best known for her unreasonable pleading.

"Alright, alright, my dear ancestor, you’ve grown up, you’re already married and someone’s wife. Yet still so childish? What if Xiao Song sees it, won’t that be something? Knowing you want to eat it, I’ll go home and make it for you, okay?

I’m telling you, just this once, you can’t act again especially not in front of the old lady. If she sees it, she’d think I haven’t taught my daughter well."

While chiding her daughter, Fan Xiuying was already in a hurry packing things, gathering the thermal boxes to take home.

"Mom, you’re the best to me! I’m not foolish, would I ever behave in front of the old lady? Mom, no matter my age, whether married or with kids, I’m still your youngest daughter before you.

If I don’t act spoiled to my own mom, who else would I act spoiled to? I wouldn’t dare act with outsiders; who’d pity me then? It’s just that you’re my mom, you’re the one who feels sorry for me."

Jiang Xiaoxiao grinned cheekily.

Fan Xiuying poked her forehead with a finger.

"You, you, I must owe you from a past life."

Jiang Xiaoxiao smacked a kiss on Fan Xiuying.

With a craving face, smiling shamelessly.

Fan Xiuying was both angry and amused.

"I’ll go get you some food first; you’ll have to make do with something for lunch. I’ll buy an old hen and start stewing the chicken soup. I’ll bring the small wontons in the evening, and if you want anything else, just tell me, I’ll bring it all for you tonight.

I’ll make a little extra, your brother has to eat too."

Jiang Xiaoxiao shook her head, "Mom, there’s no need to bother for lunch! Don’t need to go buy food; it’s a hospital, there’s a patient’s meal here. I’ll just order a patient’s meal. Besides, look at me now, lively as ever, do I look like someone who needs care?

No need for anyone to worry; just focus on making the small wontons for me, I really don’t crave anything else, just your small wontons."

Jiang Xiaoxiao was secretly anxious.

Fan Xiuying pondered for a moment, still uneasy.

"No, I still must get your meal, otherwise, you won’t eat properly. How will your body recover if you out-of-the-blue sleep for three days and nights thinking it’s okay? Your body must be frail, otherwise, you’d get worn out so easily."

Without further ado, Fan Xiuying took the lunchbox and went out the door, coming back in less than half an hour.

She bought a lunchbox for Jiang Xiaoxiao filled with tomato and egg soup, plus two fluffy Baozi.

"Quick, it’s still hot, eat while it’s warm, and when you’re done, I’ll tidy up before leaving."

Fan Xiuying also bought some for Jiang Lei and his father.

Jiang Xiaoxiao had no choice but to gobble it down.

Patting her belly, "Mom! I’m full, see, nothing’s left."

Only then did Fan Xiuying pack up her things, carrying the lunchbox and net bag as she left.

Jiang Xiaoxiao stayed by the window watching as Fan Xiuying exited the hospital, boarded a bus at the station, finally feeling relieved.

She turned around to find Mr. Feng.

The nurses at the nurse station, upon seeing her come out, hurried over to ask, knowing that Jiang Xiaoxiao was looking for Dean Feng, they told her to wait in the ward.

They called Dean Feng on the phone, saying he’d be coming down shortly.

Who doesn’t know Dean Feng drops by over a dozen times a day.

Everyone thinks she’s Mr. Feng’s illegitimate daughter.
