Chapter 412: Chapter 412: Resolving Doubts

Zhou Meifeng looked at her mother and said with a smile. After she finished speaking, Zhou Meifeng’s cheeks reddened slightly, she indeed had not lied to her mother, it was just that she hadn’t finished speaking. Xiao Yifei had not done anything inappropriate to her, he had just bought her a lot of sexy clothes, that was all.

"Fengfeng, don’t think like that. You’re so beautiful; surely some men have ill intentions towards you. I’m telling you, you must be cautious!"

The old woman looked at Zhou Meifeng with a warning in her voice.

Just as Zhou Meifeng and her mother were speaking, the coughing from Zhou Meifeng’s father in bed suddenly ceased, and at the same time, the bed went still, which instantly filled the hearts of Zhou Meifeng and her mother with dread, and the thought that something bad might have happened suddenly sprung to mind.

"What have you done!"

The old woman shrieked at Xiao Yifei.

"What have you done!"

The old woman cried out in alarm toward Xiao Yifei, and with surprising quickness for her frail frame, she dashed straight at Xiao Yifei. It was hard to imagine such speed from a thin old woman, reflecting the deep love between Zhou Meifeng’s impoverished parents.

At the same time, Zhou Meifeng also rushed toward the bedside.

"Hm?"

Xiao Yifei first made a silencing gesture toward Zhou Meifeng’s mother, then softly asked, "Big Sister, what’s wrong?"

"You! You! You bastard..."

Upon reaching the bedside, Zhou Meifeng’s mother’s face was filled with loathing as she pointed a trembling finger directly at Xiao Yifei.

"Mother, look at Father, he’s alright!"

Zhou Meifeng immediately followed up, she knew Xiao Yifei and was aware that he wasn’t rash. First looking at her father lying on the bed, joy appeared on her face as she hurriedly called out to her mother.

After hearing Zhou Meifeng’s shout, her mother turned her head to look at the old man lying on the bed, a flash of confusion crossing her eyes.

At that moment, Zhou Meifeng’s father lay tightly in bed, his breathing smooth and his face peaceful, the wrinkles on his face now smoothed out. Ever since Zhou Meifeng’s father fell ill in bed due to overworking while away from home, they never saw him sleep so peacefully and comfortably.

Upon seeing this scene, Zhou Meifeng’s mother’s expression suddenly calmed, she stared intently at the old man lying on the bed, a look of solace flashing in her eyes. It had been so long since the old man fell ill after working away from home; she hadn’t seen him sleep so soundly in a long time.

At this moment, the room in Zhou Meifeng’s home also seemed to quiet down with her father’s peaceful slumber.

"Thank you, Mr. Xiao! I’m sorry, I misunderstood you earlier?"

Zhou Meifeng’s mother gratefully said to Xiao Yifei, "Really, I’m sorry. All of a sudden there was no movement here, and I thought something had happened. Now it seems I’ve misunderstood you."

"Fengfeng was right, you’re a good person, worthy of respect."

Zhou Meifeng’s mother said to Xiao Yifei with respect, within moments, Xiao Yifei not only turned the crisis into a safe situation but also managed to put the old man into such a peaceful sleep—it was simply miraculous, especially considering that the many doctors she had sought and the many medicines taken had never had such an amazing effect.

"Fengfeng, aren’t you going to thank Mr. Xiao?"

Zhou Meifeng’s mother turned her head and hurriedly said to Zhou Meifeng, Xiao Yifei’s prompt assistance had finally eased their hearts, which had been caught in their throats.

"Xiao Yifei, I... I thank you."

Zhou Meifeng gratefully said to Xiao Yifei, recalling how she had shouted at Xiao Yifei in her panic, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

"It’s nothing, it’s nothing, what’s our relationship? No need to be so polite."

Xiao Yifei gestured dismissively, speaking without concern.

Zhou Meifeng’s cheeks faintly reddened when she heard Xiao Yifei say "What’s our relationship?" as if something had come to mind.

Zhou Meifeng’s mother gave her daughter a somewhat strange look, then turned to gaze at Xiao Yifei. At this moment, there was no longer any doubt in Zhou Meifeng’s mother’s eyes, only respect and restraint. Upon hearing Zhou Meifeng’s introduction earlier, her mother felt a bit embarrassed for having Xiao Yifei in their shabby home.

"Mr. Xiao, please, have a seat," she said.

Zhou Meifeng’s mother, hunched over, fetched the most intact chair for Xiao Yifei and offered it to him with utmost politeness.

"Thank you, Auntie."

At that moment, Xiao Yifei finally changed his address for Zhou Meifeng’s mother from "Madam" to "Auntie": "Auntie, please take a seat yourself, I’m not tired, it’s okay."

"I brought Zhou Meifeng back this time because there wasn’t really anything pressing. She often talked about home matters, so I suggested we drop by today for a visit."

Of course, Xiao Yifei wouldn’t say it was because he was worried about their safety due to the retaliation from Big Eyes; such words would only cause unnecessary worry for Zhou Meifeng’s parents. So Xiao Yifei casually made up an excuse.

"As for Uncle, I just took a look at his condition, and it isn’t anything serious. It’s just the accumulation of minor ailments due to overwork, compounded by a long period of poor circumstances and lack of proper treatment, that has gradually become worse."

Xiao Yifei had been startled by the old man’s condition inside his body when he used his X-ray vision earlier. Although the organs were still functioning normally, the body’s condition was extremely poor, and the atrial fibrillation had occurred very abruptly. If it weren’t for Xiao Yifei being there today, Zhou Meifeng’s father might have faced a grim fate.

Fortunately, Xiao Yifei was able to stabilize the atrial fibrillation in time with his consciousness thread and calmed the old man’s emotions, allowing him to have a good night’s sleep.

"Uh... ha ha."

Zhou Meifeng’s mother laughed awkwardly, "We understand."

In fact, Zhou Meifeng’s mother was aware of her husband’s condition, but she felt helpless due to their poverty. They could barely afford basic food and warmth. It was only because Zhou Meifeng had been sending more money home lately that they were able to afford medication for her father. Otherwise, they couldn’t have even managed that.

Zhou Mei’s heart ached at the sight of her family’s sorry state; her nose turned red, and tears began to well up in her eyes. She wished she could work even more to earn money, and this was why she worked so diligently at Xiao Yifei’s place; the money he paid her was indeed not little for someone with Zhou Mei’s educational background.

Moreover, Zhou Mei didn’t want to take any crooked paths, so she cherished the opportunity Xiao Yifei had given her.

Xiao Yifei’s eyes flickered as he looked at Zhou Meifeng’s family, about to say something, when his sharp senses suddenly detected someone peering in through the window from outside.

"Who’s there!"

Xiao Yifei whirled around, but the shadow at the window had vanished. Frowning, he quickly followed the trail, but by the time he got outside, the figure had disappeared.

Zhou Meifeng and her mother followed closely behind Xiao Yifei.

"Mr. Xiao, what happened?"

Zhou Meifeng’s mother asked, looking puzzled.

Xiao Yifei shook his head without answering. But who would be peering into Zhou Meifeng’s house from outside?

While Xiao Yifei pondered this, suddenly, he noticed two figures slowly approaching the door of Zhou Meifeng’s home.

"Zhou Jun! Zhou Jun!"

Luo Baoyan walked while calling out towards the direction of Zhou Meifeng’s house, shouting the name of Zhou Meifeng’s father, "A Hummer just drove toward your place; did you see it?"

Luo Baoyan either truly did not know or pretended not to know that Zhou Meifeng’s father was bedridden and unable to get up.

Xiao Yifei had parked his car behind and to the side of the house, so it wouldn’t be visible from the front.
