Chapter 588: Chapter 577: The Unreasonable Auntie

Nanqing "Hmm"ed and, seizing the moment while Old Master Chi was on the phone and wouldn’t interrupt her, quickened her pace and left Chi Yuhang’s house.

"I’ve delivered it. I also said everything you wrote to Chi Yuhang. I’m preparing to head back now."

As she spoke, she had already returned to her car and opened the door.

Just as she was about to get in, Qiao Jing called out to stop her.

"Wait, hold up your phone so I can see how Old Master Chi’s face looks now."

Upon hearing Qiao Jing’s words, Nanqing’s expression immediately stiffened.

"What? I finally managed to get out, and now you want me to go back?"

She was all set to make her getaway, and now Qiao Jing wanted her to return?

What if Old Master Chi insists on having her stay for dinner again?!

Seeing the dark look on Nanqing’s face on the screen, Qiao Jing slightly lifted her eyebrows.

"Finally got out? Were they not letting you leave?"

Nanqing looked towards Chi Yuhang’s house as if resigned to her fate and nodded vigorously.

"Yes! Grandpa Chi insisted that I stay for dinner. How could I have the nerve to keep freeloading at his place? Asking me to go back now is really putting me in a difficult position, isn’t it?"

Qiao Jing furrowed her brows, deep in thought for a moment.

"Staying for a meal is indeed not quite appropriate, especially since their family isn’t well-off, but seeing the doctor is most important. So, go to Grandpa Chi first, and don’t hang up the phone."

Nanqing’s chest heaved dramatically, and she sighed towards the sky.

"Ah—fine, fine, I’m heading back now."

By the time she returned to Chi Yuhang’s house with her phone, she saw Chi Yuhang was wiping Chi Chenyun’s hands and feet.

Upon seeing this, Nanqing pursed her lips and muttered inwardly:

It seems Chi Yuhang does have his merits, at least he is very filial.

When Chi Chenyun saw Nanqing, he said enthusiastically:

"Ah, Miss Zhan, you’ve come back? Changed your mind? Going to stay for dinner with us?"

Chi Yuhang paused, then placed the towel back into the bucket.

"Miss Zhan."

Nanqing put on an awkward smile and, holding up her phone, approached Chi Chenyun’s bed.

"Grandpa Chi, my sister-in-law wanted to see if you’ve gotten any better, so I came back with the phone."

Chi Chenyun, who had originally wanted to keep Nanqing for dinner, immediately took the phone upon hearing her words.

"Hello Doctor Qiao!"

Qiao Jing responded, staring at Chi Chenyun’s face for a long while. Once she confirmed the old man had improved, her tightly knitted brows finally relaxed.

"Hello, Grandpa Chi. I just wanted to see if you were getting better. But now, looking at your complexion, your recovery seems quite good; just next time, you can’t stop Chi Yuhang from getting the medicine."

Upon hearing Qiao Jing’s words, Chi Chenyun’s expression turned stern.

"Doctor Qiao, how did you know? I just didn’t want to always take your things."

Qiao Jing pursed her lips seriously and said:

"That’s not taking, and Chi Yuhang will also pay for the medicine, albeit a bit late."

Chi Chenyun looked at Qiao Jing on the screen and asked:

"Doctor Qiao, when will you be free to come to my house next time? I’ll have Xiao Hang cook a full table of dishes to properly thank you!"

Qiao Jing, half laughing and half crying at Chi Chenyun’s enthusiasm and hospitality, sighed helplessly but didn’t forget to save Nanqing from her predicament.

"I’ll come over for the next follow-up visit, so you don’t have to come to Wonderful Hall. Let’s skip dinner, and one more thing, please send Nanqing back to my place. She’s rather shy and feels embarrassed to stay for dinner at your place."

The named Nanqing immediately nodded in agreement.

"That’s right, Grandpa Chi, I really don’t want to trouble you."

Chi Chenyun glanced at Chi Yuhang beside him.

"It’s no trouble. My Xiao Hang’s cooking is really good. Are you sure you don’t want to try it?"

Nanqing inexplicably felt from Chi Chenyun’s words that the old man was promoting his grandson.

Before she could think of a way to refuse, she heard someone calling Qiao Jing on the phone, probably a patient coming in for a consult.

Nanqing took the phone back from Chi Chenyun and spoke to Qiao Jing:

"I can handle the next part myself. You go ahead, I’m hanging up now."

After hanging up the phone, she turned to Chi Chenyun.

"Grandpa Chi, really, it’s not necessary. I have some things to take care of and need to go back now."

Chi Yuhang also noticed that Nanqing truly did not want to stay and spoke up to ease the situation.

"Grandpa, Miss Zhan is busy and needs to leave. Let’s invite her for dinner some other time."

Upon hearing Chi Yuhang’s words, the awkward smile on Nanqing’s face stiffened even more, but she knew he was helping her out and responded:

"Yes, Grandpa Chi, I will definitely eat at your house next time!"

How could there possibly be a next time?

There will definitely not be a second visit!

Only then did Chi Chenyun let it go.

"Alright, Miss Zhan, you go take care of your matters."

Only then did Nanqing breathe a sigh of relief and started walking towards the door.

As soon as she reached the door, she ran into a fiercely charging woman. Before Nanqing could step aside, the woman bumped into her!

At that moment, Nanqing cursed in her mind, frowning and looking displeased at the woman.

Just when she was about to say something, the woman walked straight into Chi Yuhang’s backyard.

Seeing this, Chi Yuhang frowned deeply and glanced at Chi Chenyun on the bed.

"Grandpa, rest here. I’ll handle this situation."

After seeing the woman march directly to the backyard, Chi Chenyun also frowned, looking somewhat unsure as he watched Chi Yuhang.

"Xiao Hang, we should still be polite, after all, she has helped us before."

Nanqing, who had not yet left, stopped in her tracks when she heard the conversation between the grandfather and grandson.

She curiously stared at the backyard, wondering who this woman could be.

As far as she knew, Chi Yuhang’s mother had remarried, and this mysterious woman who had barged in without a greeting was unknown to her.

What was more important was why the grandfather and grandson seemed to act as if they were used to this?

Before Nanqing could figure it out, there came a commotion of chickens and ducks from the backyard.

Suddenly, the woman came out with a chicken in her left hand and a duck in her right, also carrying some vegetables, wearing a satisfied smile.

As the woman passed by Chi Yuhang and his grandfather, she greeted them.

"Xiao Hang, Uncle Chi, I’ll just take these chickens and ducks for now. I’ll return them next time."

Chi Yuhang’s expression darkened as he stared intently at the chickens, ducks, and vegetables in the woman’s hands.

Those were the chickens and ducks they never wanted to eat, along with the vegetables he had painstakingly grown.

Previously, the woman would often come to their backyard to pick some vegetables and take some handy tools, which was tolerated, but now she even wanted to take the chickens and ducks. Could he still endure this?
