Chapter 280 You Didn't Think Much
"Master He, let's just eat and not talk about Li Xiangyi anymore. Come on, eat your food."
Wu You found the right angle and picked up a piece of ginger and potato with his chopsticks, placing it in He Xiaohui's bowl. However, that chopsticks contained very little potato; it was almost entirely ginger.
When Li Lianhua saw this, the corners of her mouth turned up, and she unconsciously felt a surge of happiness.
Fang Duobing noticed it too, glanced at Wu You, then at his mother, and said nothing, perhaps he was just overthinking it.
Wu You: You didn't think much of it.
He Xiaohui saw it too, but since they had already put the food in her bowl, she pretended to eat it as if nothing had happened, even though several people were staring at her.
He Xiaohui: Next time the kitchen makes this dish, let them add ginger. This old ginger is really spicy.
After calmly drinking a cup of tea, He Xiaohui didn't bring up the topic again, but instead changed the subject.
Fang Duobing: Am I right? Old ginger is spicier, humph.
"Young Master Li, you don't know this, but since he was a child, our Xiao Bao has swallowed these huge bitter pills by hand in order to become Li Xiangyi's apprentice." As he spoke, he made a ball gesture with his hand.
"To be able to stand up, he had acupuncture needles inserted into twelve major acupoints every day. The pain was so intense that he fainted many times, but he refused to cry out, all because of Li Xiangyi's words that he would take him as his disciple if he could lift a sword. Don't you think this kid is stupid?"
"Mother, please stop talking, okay?" Fang Duobing felt utterly humiliated by his mother exposing his past in front of Li Lianhua, and hurriedly tried his best to stop her.
However, Li Lianhua thought that she should teach him more martial arts in the future so as not to let down his hard work.
“Not stupid,” Li Lianhua said confidently.
"Isn't that stupid? Then..."
"Master He, if it weren't for Li Xiangyi's encouragement back then, would Fang Duobing have been so motivated? Would he be the outstanding Fang Duobing he is today?"
"Madam, the doctor has brought the medicine he prescribed."
When the group had almost finished eating, Li'er came in carrying a medicine packet.
"Okay, just leave it there."
"Yes."
"Mother, are you feeling unwell? Why do you need to take medicine?" Fang Duobing asked with some concern.
"I heard the groundwater around here is unclean and can't be drunk. Li'er and I are new here, so we didn't know that. That's why we've had some diarrhea these past two days. It's nothing serious, nothing serious."
Seeing the worry in Fang Duobing's eyes, He Xiaohui quickly assured him that she was fine.
"Then hurry back and take your medicine, and please... please stop talking so much, okay?"
Fang Duobing was somewhat impressed with his mother. Despite being unwell, she still had the energy to say so many "bad" things about him, especially in front of Li Lianhua.
“Master He, there’s no need for such formalities. Your health is the most important thing,” Li Lianhua advised, adding that it wouldn’t be appropriate for her ailing master to accompany her.
“Yes, Master He, you should go and rest first. Fang Duo is sick here. We know him well, so we won’t stand on ceremony,” Wu You added.
“Who’s familiar with you?” Fang Duobing retorted.
"Fang Xiaobao." He Xiaohui glared at Fang Duobing: "Young Master Li and Miss Wu have come all this way, please entertain them well for me."
Fang Duobing did not object further, but simply turned his head to the side.
“Young Master Li, Miss Wu, then I won’t keep you company any longer. Oh, by the way, you haven’t seen this villa yet, have you?”
"Li'er, take Young Master Li, Miss Wu, and the young master around for a visit later."
"Yes," Li'er replied softly.
After He Xiaohui finished speaking, she left the scene, leaving the three people at the dinner table staring at each other.
