Chapter 606 Under the Wisteria Flowers
Chapter 606 Under the Wisteria Flowers
Mrs. Sivers thought it was funny. If it were in the past, she would definitely make a joke or two, but now she has a daughter, and her best friend has expressed that intention, so she doesn't want to continue the topic.
Mrs. Wolfhard knew what was going on, and everyone just laughed it off and the topic was over.
"Hey? Do you know what's going on? Did the Marins find it themselves or was it some kind of coincidence?" Mrs. Wolfhard leaned forward, a gossipy glint in her eyes.
"I haven't asked. I'm curious, too. It's been so many years, I never thought this day would come."
"That's right! I thought she was gone then." Mrs. Wolfhard quickly changed her tone. "Did you see Gina when you came in? She looks much more normal now. She doesn't look like she's been crazy for over a decade."
"Isn't that amazing? How does that phrase go? Heart disease... What does heart disease mean?"
"Heart disease needs heart medicine to cure it."
"Yes, yes, yes! That's it!"...
Xu Weiwei listened, hesitating whether to tell the truth. She went over it in her mind, and it seemed like there was nothing worth hiding. And soon, it would no longer be a secret.
So he spoke out to attract everyone's attention: "That—I know her, her daughter."
"Huh?!" Mrs. Wolfhard's eyes widened immediately, and she was extremely excited. "Really? Tell me! How did you meet?!"
"Actually, she is my roommate, Su Mang. She was also injured in an accident some time ago. During the rescue, it was discovered that there was a problem with her blood type. I guess this is the reason." Xu Weiwei said slowly.
Hearing this name, Mrs. Seaforth frowned subconsciously: "Is it her?"
"Wow! What a coincidence?! It's really..." Noticing her best friend's expression, Mrs. Wolfhard instantly understood, restrained her expression, and asked, "Is there something wrong with her? Is there something wrong with her character?"
Xu Weiwei didn't expect Mrs. Wolfhard to be so blunt. She was a little stumped for a moment. "Um...she...I don't know her very well. Although we were roommates, I didn't live in the dormitory much, so we didn't spend much time together."
Xu Weiwei chose a safer approach.
Wufard turned to look at his best friend. Since she had that attitude, there must be a reason.
"She came here on Wei'er's birthday and seemed thoughtful." Mrs. Sivers said coldly.
"Tsk..."
Mrs. Wolfhard was eager to gossip with her bestie, but she felt a little embarrassed to do so in front of her two children, so she sent her away. "Hey, when you came in, I saw the wisteria in the yard was blooming beautifully. You two should go out and take a walk. It's boring just sitting here."
"Finn, take good care of your sister. Don't leave her alone."
The two of them didn't care where to go, so they stood up after the adult said that.
Watching the two children walk away, Mrs. Wolfhard opened her mouth excitedly, but then noticed Seaforth and held it back.
Siphos pointed at himself in surprise: "Even me?"
"No need, my bestie~ I want to listen too~~ Take me with you~~~"
The two of them shuddered as they watched Siphos pinch his throat and act artificially...
Xu Weiwei and Finn went outside and saw the wisteria flowers Mrs. Wolfhard had mentioned. They climbed the top of the winding corridor, their leaves lush and green, their clusters of flowers some dense and some sparse, looking neglected.
Finn has taken flower arrangement classes, which is not just for girls, but also a part of the education of aristocratic gentlemen.
He was an excellent student no matter what he studied. When he saw wisteria, knowledge related to it automatically popped up in his mind.
I remember the teacher who taught him said that this is the first choice for lazy people. It belongs to the leguminous family and is much easier to grow than the flowers of the rose family. It does not require manual pulling and little maintenance, and the flowering period can last up to three months.
But it was precisely because of this that it was eliminated by the upper class. Because at some point there was a saying that went around: "You can tell a person's level by looking at the flowers he grows in his yard."
After finishing his recollection, Finn tilted his head and saw Xu Weiwei staring at the flowers intently, her profile half hidden under the gauze hat, with a sea of purple flowers behind her as the background, so beautiful that it made people's breath hold.
"Do you like it?" Finn asked softly.
"Hmm?" Xu blinked slightly and looked at him.
"No, I just suddenly remembered that its skin can be peeled and dried to make a decoction for medicinal use. It can detoxify, stop diarrhea, and repel parasites."
Finn was silent: "..."
"Hehe, there are so many types of Chinese medicine. Sometimes I can't remember them unless I see them. I have to write them down quickly." Xu Weiwei pulled out the laser keyboard from the light brain and started typing away.
"By the way, the first batch of Chinese herbal medicine we're cultivating on Planet 9527 is expected to mature by the end of July, with another batch expected in early September. We'll be in great need of manpower by then. Do you have any suggestions?"
Finn's breath hitched in his chest, and he felt very depressed. Why, in such an environment, could she just open her mouth and talk about work? It was obviously not like that just now in the house.
Sighing, he said helplessly, "Recruit from the society and find short-term workers."
"Hmm." Xu Weiwei thought about it and nodded in approval.
"Are you willing to go on a business trip? I'm not saying you have to go, but depending on how far the research center has progressed, I might not be able to leave for some key nodes. I need a reliable and trustworthy person to help me keep an eye on it. You are my employee and my partner, and you're earning two salaries. You'd feel bad if you didn't help, right, brother?" Xu blinked his big eyes slightly and gave a fake smile.
Finn was speechless for a moment, then slowly stretched out his hand, bent his middle finger under Xu Weiwei's puzzled gaze, and flicked her forehead.
Xu Weiwei realized it belatedly and raised her hand to cover it up: "If you hit the boss, 200 yuan will be deducted from your salary this month."
"What's that look in your eyes? Do you think deducting 200 is looking down on you? Then deduct 2000."
Finn laughed angrily: "Unscrupulous and black-hearted boss, I'm going to apply for labor arbitration."
"I find you're a very serious person..."
Under the wisteria, the scene of the two of them together was as beautiful as an oil painting. Even strangers passing by would smile knowingly.
However, on the third floor of the villa, there was a resentful gaze, staring at this scene intently.
Su Mang's hands were clenched tightly around the curtains, and she wanted to tear them apart. She had only wanted to stand up and go to the window to get some fresh air, but she was caught off guard by what she saw.
She had never seen such a gentle look in him, such a relaxed posture.
Jealousy once again spread from Su Mang's heart and grew wildly.
