Chapter 1055: 139, President Bo and Yaya’s cinema date [First update]

It was around 10 a.m. when the door to the hospital room was suddenly knocked.

At that time, Xu Fenglai was lying on the bed watching TV, “Who is it?”

Jiang Yaoya hurriedly got up.

“I’ll go.” Bo Jinlan got up, and before leaving, he gave a certain person a glance.

Xu Fenglai was so smug inside.

How could he ever have a day when he could boss Bo Jinlan around in the past?

You too have today!

Indeed, what goes around comes around, who is spared by heaven…

But very soon, he couldn’t laugh anymore.

After a series of hurried footsteps, a middle-aged man walked in, and as soon as he entered, he started yelling, “You little rascal! Such a big thing happened, and you didn’t tell me? You think you’ve grown wings, don’t you? Planning to hide it from me, are you?”

Xu Fenglai was shocked, “Dad? How did you get here?”

“All thanks to the sensible Jinlan. He told me you were food poisoned, alone and unattended here, so I rushed over immediately.”

Xu Fenglai’s expression stiffened, “You came to take care of me?”

Why didn’t he believe it?

A man who could leave his only son at home as a child was now flying all the way to Haicheng to look after him just because of a minor food poisoning?

“How is it?” Xu’s father had already approached, “What did the doctor say? Do you have any discomforts? When can you be discharged?”

“Dad, just speak your mind,” Xu Fenglai said bluntly.

Xu’s father coughed twice, his expression fleeting, “You really want me to say it?”

Xu Fenglai was silent for two seconds, then hurriedly said, “Big brother, sister-in-law, aren’t you guys going out for fun this afternoon? Hurry up, don’t waste time.”

Jiang Yaoya’s eyes were wide open.

Was he really spot on?

Meanwhile, Bo Jinlan stood up smiling, “Uncle Xu, since you’re here, I’ll leave Fenglai to you.”

“Jinlan, it’s really thanks to you these past few days.”

Bo Jinlan was all politeness, “Fenglai is my friend, it’s only right to look after him.”

Xu Fenglai’s mouth twitched fiercely.

Who despised him so much?

Not even willing to help him to the toilet?

Now he speaks so nicely!

Hypocritical!

Xu’s father always appreciated that rascal, smiling particularly happily, “This kid must have caused you a lot of trouble, right?”

“It’s okay,” Bo Jinlan kept his tone modest.

“Alright, no one knows my son better than I do, I know what he’s really like clearly,” said Xu’s father patting Bo Jinlan on the shoulder. “You’ve really had it tough!”

Xu Fenglai really wanted to complain.

But thinking of the consequences…

Forget it.

He didn’t want people to see that at his age he was still being lectured by his father…

“By the way, this is…” Xu’s father turned to look at Jiang Yaoya.

Bo Jinlan calmly stated, “My girlfriend.”

“Oh wow,” Xu’s father’s eyes immediately lit up, “Jinlan, when did you get a girlfriend? Why hasn’t Fenglai mentioned it? You moved so quietly…”

“Just a few months,” Bo Jinlan slightly curved his thin lips, “Fenglai didn’t mention it, probably because he was afraid you’d rush him into marriage.”

Jiang Yaoya: “…”

Xu Fenglai was even more: “???”

That bastard, always touching on sensitive topics, wasn’t he?

Sure enough Xu’s father immediately glared at his own son, “Jinlan has a girlfriend now, when are you going to chase Rong Mu successfully?”

“Dad, what’s the rush…”

“Didn’t you say this trip was going to settle the marriage? What happened? Where is Rong Mu?”

“She has to shoot a film,” Xu Fenglai hurriedly signaled with his eyes.

Bo Jinlan spoke at the right moment, “Uncle Xu, we should take our leave now.”

“Of course,” Xu’s father said smilingly, “When you return to the Capital City, I’ll treat you to dinner.”

“There’s no need to be so formal, Uncle Xu.”

“Of course, of course.”

…

After exchanging pleasantries, Bo Jinlan finally took his girlfriend and left the hospital room.

After closing the door, Jiang Yaoya curiously asked, “When did you make the call?”

“Last night,” said Bo Jinlan, “I didn’t expect Uncle Xu to really come.”

He had originally just called the Xu Family, thinking that with the Xu family’s connections, entrusting someone in Haicheng to take care of the ailing Xu Fenglai would be no issue. Unexpectedly, Xu’s father had flown over himself…

Jian Yaoya nodded, “Mr. Xu’s family really cares about him.”

Bo Jinlan smiled, “Is that so?”

The two of them made their way along the corridor toward the nurses’ station outside, where a waiting area with a couch was situated. A woman was sitting there, looking at her phone.

Dressed in a light purple waist-tightened coat, her posture elegant, her style exquisite, her skin fair and beautiful, and her gently made-up face looked somewhat familiar…

As Jian Yaoya stared, her brow gradually furrowed.

Upon approaching her, she stopped, “Aunt Xie?”

The woman was slightly startled and looked up, still not recognizing her, “You are…?”

“It’s Yaya.” Jian Yaoya quickly stepped forward with a smile, “Aunt Xie, what brings you here?”

Aunt Xie really maintains herself well. She hasn’t changed a bit in three or four years!

Bo Jinlan slightly raised her eyebrows, “This is…?”

Jian Yaoya hurriedly introduced, “Aunt Xie is Niaoniao’s mother.”

Bo Jinlan nodded slightly, “Hello.”

“Yaya, what a coincidence, how are you here? This must be your boyfriend?” Xie Qin looked them over, “Your boyfriend is really handsome, quite the talent! And his temperament too!”

Jian Yaoya smiled awkwardly, “Aunt Xie, didn’t Niaoniao say she was going back to accompany you? Why are you here in Haicheng by yourself?”

Xie Qin, puzzled, “She was accompanying me?”

“Yes, it’s what Niaoniao told me. She said you just divorced…”

“I’ve been divorced for over half a year now. That child… probably didn’t dare to tell you the truth.” Xie Qin laughed, not at all embarrassed, “But I didn’t tell her about coming to Haicheng either. Yaya, can you keep it a secret for Auntie for now?”

“Oh.” Jian Yaoya, confused, “Aunt Xie, are you here for a trip in Haicheng?”

“Sort of.” Xie Qin replied ambiguously, “I came with some friends that Niaoniao doesn’t know.”

“Oh.” Jian Yaoya still didn’t quite understand.

At that moment, Bo Jinlan spoke, “Then we won’t disturb Aunt Xie any longer.”

“Alright, alright, Yaya, I’ll treat you to a meal when you come back to the Capital City!” Xie Qin smiled brightly.

Jian Yaoya was then pulled into the elevator by her boyfriend.

“It’s so strange. Niaoniao told me her mom got divorced and was feeling down, that’s why she suddenly flew back. How come Aunt Xie came to Haicheng on her own?”

Jian Yaoya was at a loss and immediately took out her phone as soon as the elevator arrived.

Bo Jinlan timely grabbed her hand, “What are you doing?”

“I’m going to call Niaoniao…”

“She just told you not to say anything, wouldn’t it be inappropriate to ask now?”

“But…” Jian Yaoya was torn, “I find it a bit strange.”

“Maybe there are reasons she can’t say.” Bo Jinlan changed the topic, “Where do you want to go this afternoon?”

Jian Yaoya, not in the mood, “You decide.”

“Really want me to decide?” Bo Jinlan squinted, “You’re not feeling well, why don’t we go back to the hotel, just lie down in the room…”

“No, no, no.” Jian Yaoya quickly refused, “I’m feeling very well. Let’s go out and have fun.”

Bo Jinlan smiled meaningfully, “Why so nervous?”

“No, I just think it’s a waste for you to come all the way to Haicheng and not go out.” Jian Yaoya explained.

Bo Jinlan nodded, “I was thinking since you’re not feeling well, we could go back to the hotel and lie down to watch a movie. But since you want to go out, let’s have a movie date at the cinema.”

Jian Yaoya: “…”

Upstairs.

Xie Qin received a WeChat message, got up, and knocked on the hospital room door.

Xu’s father opened the door and held her hand as they entered the sickroom, “Qinqin, this is my son Fenglai.”

Xie Qin looked at the young man sitting on the hospital bed.

The room was filled with ample warmth from the heater, and he wore only a loose blue and white striped hospital gown, which accentuated his gaunt, pale features. His face was delicate and beautiful, his brows slightly furrowed, looking somewhat unhappy.

It was said he was already twenty-nine this year, but he looked barely past twenty…

Xu’s father continued, “Fenglai, this is Aunt Xie. She’s now my girlfriend, and if things go well, we plan to get married next month…”

“What?” Xu Fenglai’s volume suddenly spiked, “Dad, I don’t object to you having a girlfriend, you haven’t had few over the years anyway, but marrying… isn’t that too rash? You’re over fifty already, can’t you stop spoiling young girls?”

Xie Qin: “…”

“Nonsense! What are you shouting about?” Xu’s father scowled, “Your Aunt Xie is forty-one this year, what young girl? What are you looking at?”

Xu Fenglai: “…”

He now took a closer look at Xie Qin.

Okay, upon closer inspection, indeed, you could see the fine lines around her eyes…

Medical beauty harms people these days; one can’t tell a woman’s age, and men can’t even tell genders, blaming him, huh?

“Because you are my son, that’s why I specifically brought Qinqin to see you, but I’m just informing you. You have no say in the marriage!” Xu’s father said forcefully.

Which left Xu Fenglai feeling very depressed, “Dad, did you come to see me or to officially announce your romance?”
