Bab 80: Girl’s Time
"He's really meddlesome," Lin San complained, yet there was a smile hanging on her lips. Feng Mian rolled her eyes when she saw her mother. Her mother just couldn't say the truth to Lin Hong's face.
Feng Mian walked closer to her mother and checked the latter's complexion. It didn't look like there should be any other complications this time.
Lin San seemed to notice Feng Mian's concern as she flashed a smile. "You're such a worrywart. I'll be fine, Little Lass."
"I'm just making sure."
"As long as I can keep taking care of myself like this, nothing should go wrong," Lin San replied. She leaned back and enjoyed the pillow. "By the way, did you move house?"
Move house?
Feng Mian's mind blanked a bit. It was then she recalled that her mother was close with Madam Su who lived next door. For the past few weeks, she hadn't been going to the motel at all. Madam Su might have already called her mother to tell her that she moved.
She had completely forgotten about it.
"Yeah, I moved because my new work is in the capital city," Feng Mian decided to just say it as such.
Lin San's eyes widened. He knew how hard it was to find a job, much more jobs that were from the capital city. She looked at Feng Mian suspiciously. "You didn't take any illegal jobs, right?"
"No, Mom! I didn't."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes." Feng Mian nodded her head repeatedly.
"What's the job?"
"Uh, I can't say. There's confidentiality agreement."
Lin San looked at her daughter worriedly. Jobs that required confidentiality agreement were usually important. Did she get into an accident lately or something like that? She felt worried.
Lin San stretched out her hand. "Show me your bank transaction."
Feng Mian sighed and took out her phone. She hadn't used the money she had at all if she had to be honest. There was barely any transaction made in her bank. Probably, she would need to withdraw some money later to avoid suspiciousness from her mother.
Lin San checked the transactions' list and frowned. "There's no incoming payment aside from your work in Zhang Company?"
"It's directly to pay for your medical fees, Mom."
"…You're taking the job for the medical fee?"
Seeing her mother's glare, Feng Mian could only helplessly nod her head. In the first place, the only reason why she accepted the offer from Zhang Liang was because it could help her mother's medical fee. As for the excess money, she didn't think too much for now.
It could be for later.
Lin San sighed. She raised her hand and knocked her daughter's forehead. "You shouldn't have been so rash."
"Mom…"
"Fine. I won't say anything else."
Feng Mian hugged her mother while Lin San patted her head a bit. It was then the door was knocked.
Knock! Knock!
"Excuse me. It's Yu Yan."
"Yu Yan! Come in," Feng Mian sprang from her chair and walked to the door. She could see Yu Yan standing in front of the door with a smile on her face. Her hand was holding a small bag filled with some food she bought not long ago.
Yu Yan grinned. "You look healthier."
"Hehe, thank you. Come in."
Yu Yan walked in and greeted Lin San politely. She had visited Lin San and Feng Mian a few times, which was the reason why she had been quite familiar with this hospital now.
Feng Mian pulled a chair as Yu Yan gave Lin San the gifts that she had prepared earlier.
"You really don't have to bring anything," Lin San said helplessly.
Yu Yan shook her head and smiled. "I want to, so I prepare the gifts for you, Madam."
"Then I can only accept it. Thank you very much, Yu Yan."
"It's nothing." Yu Yan turned her head to Feng Mian, who sat down beside her. "I nearly forgot, congratulations for being promoted to be a team leader."
"Ah, right!" Feng Mian smiled. "Have you gotten a new member?"
"Not yet. They're still selecting the applicants."
"The selection is tight this time?"
Yu Yan shrugged. The company certainly wouldn't want to hire new graduate students because her team would be assigned a few important projects in the future. It was because of this that they have trouble picking the new designers to fill in the spot that Feng Mian left.
"Wait," Lin San cut their conversation. "Mian'er, you get promoted?"
"Yes, not long ago," Feng Mian replied with a smile.
"In that case, we need to celebrate it. I might not be able to eat a lot, but you two should go to eat and celebrate it."
Yu Yan laughed. "Of course, I'll drag Mian'er to eat later. If you want, we can also celebrate here with you, Madam."
"No need. I'm not planning to be an eyesore in your two lovelies' celebration."
"No way, you're not an eyesore, Mom."
"It's fine to join us."
"Yes!"
In the end, the three of them just chatted about anything they could think. Feng Mian and Yu Yan compromised by having two celebrations. One with Lin San and the other one was their personal celebration. For the celebration with Lin San, it was nothing more than eating together in this room.
After all, Lin San didn't really have much interest to move. She still needed to have a walk every day, but she was too lazy to move around.
When the time showed evening time, Lin San lied back on her bed and drifted to sleep.
Yu Yan looked at Feng Mian and whispered. "Did she need more sleep now?"
"Well yeah, more or less. Anyway, I don't want to bother my Mom. Let's go to the restaurant across the hospital."
"Got it."
As they stood up, they heard the sound of the door knocked.
Knock! Knock!
"Who is it?" Feng Mian asked as she pushed the door open. Her head lifted up. It was then she could see Zhang Liang's face. In that very moment, color drained out of her face.
"What are you doing here?"
