Chapter 377 Pretending to be sick
"Isn't that cute young lady over there our boss?"
Suddenly, the fat man's loud voice shattered the tranquil atmosphere of the garden.
"Fatty...you've gained some weight? You've been neglecting your workouts, huh?" Xi Yu's voice carried a dangerous undertone, and she even squinted her eyes.
The fat man stopped abruptly halfway toward her, stammering and scratching his head, "Um... this... isn't it because Auntie's cooking is so delicious? I eat a lot every day, that's why I've gotten a little chubby!"
"Boss, don't listen to his nonsense. He's just lazy about exercising. Crazy and I increase our exercise time every time, but he's still sticking to the same old schedule." Black Dog spat at Fatty without any politeness.
The fat man's small eyes darted around, and he stammered in defense, "I'm just balancing work and rest. Besides, if all three of us are exercising, who's going to keep Auntie company while she drinks tea and chats? Right, boss?"
"Then you really deserve all the credit." Xi Yu laughed in exasperation, casually pinched off a small fruit from the flower's stamen, imbued it with a wisp of spiritual energy, and launched it straight at the fat man's forehead.
The fat man cried out in pain; a small patch of skin on his forehead had turned red. He covered his forehead and pitifully hid behind the madman.
After a long silence, the madman spoke up for the fat man: "Actually, he has also increased his exercise time. Before, it was an average of three hours a day, but now it is an average of three hours and ten minutes a day."
“…If you don’t speak, no one will think you’re mute!” the fat man gritted his teeth and forced out the words, his hands gripping the madman’s neck.
"Alright, stop making a fuss. Where's Mom?" Xi Yu stopped them.
"Auntie knew my eldest son was coming, so she started preparing dinner two hours ago, cooking all your favorite dishes. Mr. Mu also prepared a room for us, so we didn't have to rent another place," Black Dog explained with a smile.
Xi Yu nodded. Black Dog was becoming more and more like a manager, and he was down-to-earth and unopportunistic, which Xi Yu appreciated.
Choosing the three black dogs as her underlings was just a matter of convenience, and she needed someone to do her bidding. Unexpectedly, she was quite lucky and picked the right people right away.
To be honest, she didn't know much about Black Dog's background. According to Fatty, Black Dog only came to live in City A more than ten years ago, but no one knew about what happened before that.
Perhaps she should find an opportunity to ask.
Xi Hua was busy preparing dinner, so Xi Yu didn't disturb her and asked the black dog to take her to see Mr. Mu first.
"Oh, isn't this the little girl? You've come to see this old man too." Old Mr. Mu was surprisingly energetic. Although he was leaning against the bed, he looked healthier than Mu Junze next to him.
Mu Junze had some dark circles under his eyes, which showed that he hadn't rested well because he was taking care of his elderly father.
"Xiaoyu is here. I'm so sorry that you had to take time off work to come. I didn't originally intend to trouble you, Mom, but..." Mu Junze apologized to her as soon as he saw her.
"What are you nagging about? The little girl came to visit me. Go help cook dinner and don't disturb my conversation with her!" Old Mr. Mu impatiently shooed his son away, and Mu Junze had no choice but to go downstairs to help Xi Hua prepare dinner.
Mr. Mu beckoned to Xi Yu, who then sat down beside him with a smile and said, "Old sir, you're clearly not sick, yet you're going to the trouble of pretending to be sick... It can't just be to torment Uncle Mu, can it?"
