Lu Xiaoqiao left Hongfa and took the bus directly back to the community where she rented a house.

When I was about to get off the bus, I suddenly wanted to eat fried skewers, so I walked to the fried skewers shop on the night market pedestrian street and bought two big bags of fried skewers to take home.

As soon as I opened the door with the key, Tuanzi came to greet me. I sent it to take a bath yesterday. I originally wanted to send it to the old house, but Zhao Jia and Momo both said that they missed Tuanzi, so I sent it back here to stay for two days.

Zhao Jia and Qin Momo would not be back for a while, so Lu Xiaoqiao put the fried skewers on the table, thinking of eating them together when they both came back.

I went back to the room, changed the sheets and pillowcases, then lay on the bed and checked my phone. I fell asleep in a moment.

After Zhao Jia and Qin Momo came back, they called her several times before she woke up.

Lu Xiaoqiao got up from the bed and rubbed her eyes: "Jia Jie, when did you come back? Is Momo back too?"

"We just got home. You're going to sleep at this hour. Are you going to sleep later in the evening?"

"I just fell asleep. I bought a lot of fried skewers, so I don't have to cook in the evening."

After heating the fried skewers in the microwave, the three of them sat around the table and ate.

Zhao Jia asked Lu Xiaoqiao: "Lin Lin said you went to Hongfa this afternoon. How was your run?"

Lu Xiaoqiao ate a bite of fried mushrooms and told what happened in the afternoon.

"I always felt that the woman had hatred towards me, otherwise how could she be like this the first time we met?"

Zhao Jia couldn't help but make a joke: "What are you afraid of her doing? May Day is coming soon. When Mr. Zhou comes to your house to propose marriage, it will be made public! She will be scared to death by then. She dares to yell at the boss lady."

Lu Xiaoqiao sighed: "I can't tell Zhou Qizhen about this yet, how embarrassing! He said he wouldn't use a backdoor, but he ended up using one today."

It seems like this matter cannot be done without using a back door.

Qin Momo, who had been looking down at her phone, suddenly looked up and said to Lu Xiaoqiao, "Xiaoqiao, doesn't Mr. Zhou usually not allow you to eat these fried skewers?"

Lu Xiaoqiao was stunned by the question: "What do you mean?"

Qin Momo hesitated for a moment and whispered, "It was Shen Yi who sent me a message. He said that his good friend was on a business trip and his friend's wife ate junk food. He also said that he had evidence."

Qin Momo handed her the phone after she finished speaking.

Lu Xiaoqiao took the phone and looked at the chat history between the two. The last message was what Momo had just said.

Below is a high-definition picture of Lu Xiaoqiao holding two large bags of fried skewers and using a key to open the door. It appears to have been edited from a surveillance video.

Zhao Jia glanced at him and said speechlessly, "Is he sick? Is he childish or not? What is he trying to do?"

Lu Xiaoqiao returned the phone to Momo: "What does he mean? Is Zhou Qi looking at me?"

When Qin Momo took the phone, Shen Yi sent another message.

"He said he wanted to eat fried skewers, too. If you let him eat, he won't tell Mr. Zhou about it."

Lu Xiaoqiao was furious when she heard this: "Who are you trying to scare? Tell him that I would dare to eat even if Zhou Qizhen came."

In fact, she felt a little guilty after saying this. She wanted to eat something strong-flavored a few days ago, but ended up making her stomach uncomfortable.

Before Zhou Qizhen went on a business trip, he told her to eat well, and if she didn't obey, he would not show mercy when he came back.

Zhao Jia sneered at the side: "Don't I know him? He just wanted to come in and give Momo some delicious soup."

Lu Xiaoqiao ate another bite of fried eggplant and said, "I'm speechless. If he wants to give me soup, he can just give it to me. Why does he have to bring me along?" She glanced at Qin Momo and asked, "Momo, is he still pestering you every day?"

Qin Momo thought for a moment and said, "Not every day, but I told him that we can only be friends."

Lu Xiaoqiao did not ask any more questions. As a bystander, one can only watch from afar when it comes to emotional matters. No one can get involved.

In the end, whether Qin Momo accepts it or not, she can only give her support as a friend.

Before going to bed, Zhao Jia asked Lu Xiaoqiao to take Tuanzi away with her tomorrow.

Lu Xiaoqiao was a little surprised: "Why?"

Zhao Jiaman looked helpless: "Your dog has rebelled. When it was delivered to me the day before yesterday, it didn't take anything. I thought it should eat the previous dog food, but your Tuanzi refused to eat a single bite! In the end, I had no choice but to feed it snacks to fill its stomach, and it reluctantly ate a few bites."

Lu Xiaoqiao was surprised: "Didn't eat a single bite? That's it. Zhou Qizheng has spoiled his mouth. He opens cans of food for Tuanzi every day behind my back. Look how fat he is."

Qin Momo covered her mouth and laughed: "Jia Jie, let's not talk about Tuanzi now. Look, Xiao Qiao has become fatter than when she lived here because of the care she received from Boss Zhou."

Lu Xiaoqiao was shocked when she heard this: "Am I really fat?" After saying this, she lowered her head to look at her figure.

Zhao Jia pretended to be lecherous and looked at Lu Xiaoqiao: "I dare not say anything about other parts, but considering your current state, your original underwear must be a little small!"

Qin Momo also laughed.

Lu Xiaoqiao's cheeks turned red as they were teased by the two of them, because what Zhao Jia said was right, she did feel that her bra was a little tight.

…

The next day.

Lu Xiaoqiao got up, packed her things, and was about to go downstairs with Zhao Jia when she received a call from Zhou Qizhen.

"Hello? What's up?"

Zhou Qizhen's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Wife, the driver was stuck in traffic on the way here, and I don't know when he can arrive. Can you and your roommate take Shen Yi's car to work today? It happens that he hasn't left yet."

Lu Xiaoqiao frowned when she heard this: "Then Sister Jia and I will go by ourselves. I don't want to take his car."

Zhou Qizheng asked curiously, "Why? How did he offend my wife again?"

Lu Xiaoqiao pursed her lips and said as if she was complaining, "How could he not provoke me? He saw me buying a fried skewers yesterday and took a photo as evidence and said he would send it to you."

Zhou Qizheng raised his eyebrows on the other end of the phone: "Oh? So, what did you promise me when I left that you ate that night when I was not at home, huh?"

Lu Xiaoqiao: “…”

Lu Xiaoqiao was a little stuck: "Did I say that?"

Zhou Qizheng reminded her, "I told you, I have a recording of the first fifteen seconds on my phone. Do you want me to play it for you?"

Being caught, Lu Xiaoqiao didn't dare to say anything: "I only ate a little bit."

Zhou Qizhen hummed: "If your stomach is uncomfortable, don't eat those irritating foods. Be obedient."

"Okay, got it."

"Shen Yi is already in the car downstairs. You and your roommate will be able to see him when you go downstairs."

"good."

After they hung up the phone, Lu Xiaoqiao and Zhao Jia went downstairs.

As soon as they got downstairs, they saw a black car parked under the apartment building. They opened the back door and two people got in.

"Good morning, sister-in-law!" Shen Yi, who was sitting in the front row, greeted Lu Xiaoqiao.

Lu Xiaoqiao glanced at him and politely replied, "Good morning."

Along the way, Shen Yi racked his brains to pry something out about Momo from the two people in the back row, but the two of them seemed to have colluded in advance and remained silent one after another...
