Chapter 411: Chapter 411: Distrust

Xiao Yifei saw Zhou Meifeng’s father struggling to get up and hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

"Mom, the boss I was talking about is him, Xiao Yifei. I work at his place, and the clothes were bought by him," Zhou Meifeng said to her mother.

The old grandmother turned her head drastically and looked at Xiao Yifei with caution upon hearing Zhou Meifeng’s words.

"He does look decent, but you tell me, what do you intend to do by buying such clothes for my daughter!"

Although the old grandmother had been scolding Zhou Meifeng, she was very worried about her at this moment, "Fengfeng, you tell me, this man hasn’t laid a finger on you, has he? Don’t be fooled by his good looks!"

"Auntie, where did your mind go? The clothes were from a sale at the mall. I noticed Zhou Meifeng didn’t have any decent clothes, so I bought them for her. I hadn’t even looked at them closely when I brought them back," Xiao Yifei touched his nose awkwardly and had no choice but to lie.

Zhou Meifeng couldn’t help but smile upon hearing Xiao Yifei’s words.

"Really? You better not be lying to me!"

The old lady looked at Xiao Yifei suspiciously, lifting her head, "Tall and handsome, he really doesn’t seem like a bad person."

"Mom, stop worrying so much. Xiao Yifei used to be a doctor, and now he’s a university teacher. How could he possibly do anything bad!" Zhou Meifeng said, smiling at her mother.

"Oh, a teacher! Nice to meet you, teacher!"

Upon hearing Zhou Meifeng’s words, the old grandmother felt a bit more trust towards Xiao Yifei. In their kind of village, teachers were highly respected.

Just then, Zhou Meifeng’s father, who had been lying in bed, suddenly began to cough violently, accompanied by intense convulsions.

"Dad!"

Zhou Meifeng exclaimed in shock.

Whether it was because of the excitement of seeing Zhou Meifeng or because his mood was impacted by hearing from Zhou Meifeng’s mother that Zhou Meifeng wasn’t doing well at work, the old man’s already frail body couldn’t catch his breath and he started convulsing.

"Dad!"

Zhou Meifeng cried out in a high-pitched voice, quickly rushing to the bedridden old man, turning her head frantically to her mother, "Mom, get the medicine quickly, Dad’s atrial fibrillation is acting up again!"

It turned out that Zhou Meifeng’s father not only had very poor health and was bedridden, but he also had a serious heart condition.

Upon witnessing this scene, Zhou Meifeng’s mother frantically searched through the bottles and containers piled up beside the bed.

"Fengfeng, your dad’s medicine is finished!"

The old lady exclaimed, slapping her thigh fiercely, her face filled with both annoyance and despair, "We were supposed to buy medicine in town today. How could his illness act up at such a time!"

Upon hearing her mother’s words, Zhou Meifeng’s expression changed, she grabbed her bag, twisted her body, and rushed to go out and buy medicine.

Meanwhile, the convulsions of Zhou Meifeng’s father on the bed had gradually subsided. This was not because his condition had improved, but because his frail body could not withstand such violent convulsions. Just a short bout of convulsions had exhausted the energy of Zhou Meifeng’s father.

As the convulsions eased, Zhou Meifeng’s father’s eyes rolled back, and saliva slowly dribbled from the corner of his mouth involuntarily.

"Old man! You have to hang in there! Fengfeng has gone to buy medicine for you! You must hold on! If something happens to you, I wouldn’t want to live either!"

The foolish Zhou Meifeng’s mother helplessly sprawled beside the bed, her eyes filled with deep despair as she watched the old man. Though it was common for the old man to fall ill, it had never been as severe as today. For the impoverished family of Zhou Meifeng, there was no chance of getting good treatment at a major hospital.

Just as Zhou Meifeng was about to rush out of the room, she was stopped by Xiao Yifei standing behind her.

"Xiao Yifei, what are you doing! Move aside! I need to find a doctor! I need to buy medicine!"

Zhou Meifeng said angrily to Xiao Yifei, who was blocking her way.

Xiao Yifei looked at Zhou Meifeng, whose face was filled with anger, and smiled softly. It was clear that Zhou Meifeng was genuinely worried about her father’s safety, as she had never dared to raise her voice at Xiao Yifei before, but now she was actually yelling at him.

However, not to mention whether it was too late to buy medicine, with Xiao Yifei here, was there really a more miraculous doctor in the world than him?

"Don’t worry, panicking now won’t help. Let me take a look at the situation first."

Xiao Yifei said unhurriedly to Zhou Meifeng with a faint smile on his face.

Zhou Meifeng, seeing Xiao Yifei’s completely unconcerned expression, a trace of urgency flashed in her eyes. She looked at Xiao Yifei with an eager gaze.

"Where are you going to find a doctor now? I see there’s not even a decent pharmacy near your village. It’s definitely too late now. Have you forgotten what I do for a living?"

Xiao Yifei said to Zhou Meifeng with a light smile, "So don’t rush out. Let me have a look first, and if there’s anything needed, you can run out then."

Upon hearing Xiao Yifei’s words, Zhou Meifeng remembered that Xiao Yifei had a background as a doctor. She had been too panicked and frantic earlier. Zhou Meifeng lifted her head to look at the serene Xiao Yifei and said anxiously, "Xiao Yifei, please, it’s a lot of trouble, but hurry and check on my father!"

By the time Zhou Meifeng had spoken these words to Xiao Yifei, he had already reached the bedside.

"Auntie, please make some room for me. Let me see how uncle is doing."

Because Zhou Meifeng’s mother was still leaning on the bed wiping tears, Xiao Yifei spoke kindly to Zhou Meifeng’s mother.

When Zhou Meifeng’s mother saw Xiao Yifei’s figure and heard his words, a hint of wariness flickered in her eyes: "What are you going to do!"

"Haven’t I told Zhou Mei that I’m a doctor? The best thing to do now is to let me check on uncle’s condition," Xiao Yifei said, smiling at Zhou Meifeng’s mother.

Zhou Meifeng’s mother turned to look at Zhou Meifeng, and upon seeing Zhou Meifeng nod at her, she finally got up from the bedside and stepped aside.

But even as Zhou Meifeng’s mother made way, her eyes still fixed intently on Xiao Yifei, filled entirely with skepticism. It was evident that if the old man’s condition hadn’t been so critical, Zhou Meifeng’s mother would not have made room.

"Fengfeng said he was a teacher, right? How did he become a doctor now? Besides, can a young doctor like him be reliable? Fengfeng is naive and kind. She mustn’t trust this guy just because he looks upright and honest."

Zhou Meifeng’s mother kept her gaze on Xiao Yifei while walking over to Zhou Meifeng.

At that moment, Xiao Yifei had also reached the bedside. Without showing any disgust, he sat on the already darkened bed. He first took out some tissues and gently wiped away the saliva that had unintentionally dribbled from Zhou Meifeng’s father’s mouth. Then he looked thoughtfully at the man lying on the bed, and in an instant, a sharp gleam flashed in Xiao Yifei’s eyes as his Clairvoyance superpower activated.

Seeing Xiao Yifei’s compassionate actions on the side, a warm glow couldn’t help but pass through Zhou Meifeng’s mother’s eyes, slightly changing her initial skepticism. Though Xiao Yifei hadn’t done much sitting beside the bed, his previous actions had been revealing.

"Fengfeng, is this young man really your employer? A teacher? Has he done anything inappropriate to you?"

Zhou Meifeng’s mother turned her head, looking seriously at Zhou Meifeng.

"Mother, you can trust me. Don’t you believe in your daughter? I don’t lie, I wouldn’t deceive you. He really hasn’t done anything inappropriate to me; I haven’t done a bad job. I’m truly working as a nanny in Xiao Yifei’s house. Mother, moreover, you don’t know, Xiao Yifei is a teacher at the medical college in the city, his family is quite wealthy. The house in the city is much bigger than our rural home. With his wealth, why would he be interested in me!"
