989 Extremely Awkward 𝐍𝔬𝑣𝐄𝓛𝑢𝒮𝑩.𝚌𝑜𝐦

“Brother Zhou Lin hasn’t eaten yet, right? You must be hungry after such a long time.” Hu Guo deliberately walked around Yun Xi, not putting her in his eyes at all. She deliberately asked Zhou Lin, “We haven’t seen each other in a long time. Why don’t we have lunch together? ”

Hu Guo wanted to take the opportunity to stay with Zhou Lin for a while, hoping to leave a good impression.

However, she did not expect that the words she said just now would be directly rejected by Yun Xi. “I’m really sorry. We’ve already eaten on the way here, so we’re not hungry yet. ”

Yun Xi naturally knew what Hu Guo was thinking. However, everyone in the ward was an elder, so she could not say it directly. If it was in private, Yun Xi would not have said it so nicely.

Because of the presence of the two elders today, Yun Xi only smiled on the surface. Deep down, she was no longer willing to pretend.

However, although Yun Xi rejected Hu Guo this time, she also understood that Hu Guo was a guest.

Yun Xi looked at the anger on Hu Guo’s face and said with a smile, “I’m afraid we won’t have time for the next few days. Uncle still needs someone to take care of him, so Zhou Lin and I don’t have time to go out for dinner.”

As she spoke, Yun Xi caught a trace of hatred on Hu Guo’s face, but it was only for a moment before Hu Guo hid it. Yun Xi pretended not to see it and continued, “Otherwise, since you’re a guest, I’ll definitely invite you to my house for a meal.”

To Hu Guo, these words were nothing more than Yun Xi showing off her status in the Zhou family. However, when Old Master Hu heard it, he could not help but start to examine the woman in front of him.

Old Master Hu had lived for so long and had seen all kinds of people, but this was the first time he had seen a woman like Yun Xi.

Looking at Yun Xi’s confident manner and the words she said just now, Old Master Hu could not help but be extremely puzzled.

In Old Master Hu’s eyes, Yun Xi seemed to be a little different from her peers. She even thought far beyond her peers. She was too slick in dealing with matters.

Just as Old Master Hu was scrutinizing Yun Xi, the topic had already shifted to his side.

“Uncle Hu, I’m really sorry. If you come here next time, we will definitely treat you well.” Yun Xi’s generosity made it difficult for Old Master Hu to say anything else. If he continued to bicker, it would appear that he was too petty.

Hearing Yun Xi’s words, Old Master Hu could only nod in agreement.

As today’s food was especially suitable for Old Master Zhou’s appetite, it did not take long for the food on the small dining table to be empty.

After eating, Old Master Zhou also smiled and said, “It’s good to have Yun Xi around. She’s much more sensible than Zhou Lin, this blockhead.” Old Master Zhou’s eyebrows were almost flying to the sky. Anyone could tell that Old Master Zhou really liked Yunxi.

“If Uncle likes to eat it, you can prepare dishes like this in the future.” Yun Xi said as she walked forward to collect the food boxes on the small dining table.

At this moment, Old Master Zhou’s attending doctor walked in.

“The old man is in good condition!” As soon as he entered, the attending doctor looked at Old Master Zhou and could not help but praise him.

Yun Xi followed the doctor’s gaze and looked at Old Master Zhou. After a few days of care, Old Master Zhou’s face had become more and more rosy.

“Doctor, is it time for the checkup?” Zhou Lin stood up and greeted the doctor.

“Yes.” The doctor nodded and replied concisely, “Get ready. Old Master, come with me for a checkup.”

Although there were six people present in the ward, it seemed that only four of them were talking. Old Master Hu and Hu Guo were left feeling extremely awkward.

After all, they could not participate in these things. They were just old friends who came to visit, so they could not say much.

Perhaps feeling a little awkward, Old Master Hu quickly stood up.
