Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss - Chapter 615

Mrs. Fang saw her son sitting in the living room the moment she entered the house. “When did you get back? Why didn’t you give me a call?”

Fang Chen was on the phone. He merely raised his hand and waved when he heard her voice.

His mother promptly went quiet. She turned to take off her jacket and hung it on the coat rack.

After some time, Fang Chen finally finished the phone call. He raised his head to glance at his mother and little sister and replied unhurriedly. “I only just got back home.”

“Have you been busy lately? Your face looks a lot skinnier.” Mrs. Fang could not help feeling sad seeing how skinny her son’s face was.

Fang Ting walked up to Fang Chen and sat down beside him. She held him by the chin and scrutinized him. “She’s right. Why have you lost so much weight? Are you sick or something?”

He was completely skin and bones.

Fang Chen answered with a straight face, “I have been traveling around a lot, so it is normal that I lost some weight.”

Since Mrs. Fang knew what a workaholic her son was, she could only sigh.

The Fang family had a history in politics. After having generations of politicians in their family, Fang Chen was particularly accomplished. He became the city mayor at a young age, so he was naturally busy.

“Have you eaten yet?” asked Mrs. Fang.

Fang Chen shook his head. “I didn’t have the time to eat.”

Mrs. Fang felt heartbroken. She hurriedly stood up. “Let me make you some noodles.”

Mrs. Fang quickly went into the kitchen.

Fang Chen turned to look at Fang Ting with his brows raised. “Did you go for a matchmaking session?”

Fang Ting did not anticipate her serious-looking brother to tease her. She waved her hand and curled up on the couch. “Don’t even talk about it. It was absolutely embarrassing.”

If even their mother showed great respect for the family, they must be a powerful family. Hence, Fang Ting kept a surprisingly low profile while they were at the Huo residence.

Fang Chen smiled. “You are still young, so you don’t have to be in a hurry to get married.”

“I’m not the desperate one. It’s all her!” Fang Ting pointed at the kitchen. “I finally realized why she gives me such a hard time. If you were home, she would have forced you to get married. Now I’m suffering two-fold.”

Fang Chen’s face twitched, but he stayed quiet.

He was not going to say anything about his mother forcing his little sister to go for matchmaking sessions.

Before long, Mrs. Fang placed a bowl of noodles on the table and told Fang Chen to eat.

Fang Chen was dressed in a loose-fitting down coat, so it was impossible to see his body other than his face.

Shortly after he sat down and picked up his chopsticks, Mrs. Fang came next to him. “It’s not like the temperature is cold indoors. It’s inconvenient for you to eat noodles with that thick coat on. Take it off so that I can hang it up for you.”

Fang Chen’s hand froze before he said, “No thanks. I am suffering from a slight cold, so I would prefer to have it on.”

Mrs. Fang pulled her hands back and pulled out a chair and joined him. “Go on and eat.”

Fang Chen acknowledged his mother. He pulled down the sleeves a little to ensure they covered the back of his hands.

Mrs. Fang frowned when she noticed his surreptitious actions. She suddenly grabbed his hand and pulled up his sleeve.

The moment she saw the sinister-looking veins on his arm, Mrs. Fang went ghastly pale. Her voice trembled as she said, “W-when did this start?”

Fang Chen did not expect his mother to suddenly pull his sleeves up, so he was caught by surprise. He pulled his hand back. “I am recovering well, so don’t worry.”

Mrs. Fang looked at Fang Chen and her hands trembled on the table. “I am asking when did it start?”
