The situation was too critical just now, and since it was already late, no lights were turned on.

Su Mingyue couldn't even see who it was.

But looking at him, it seems like there's only one person.

It shouldn't be the Chu family members; they're all one family.

If there had been one more person, Su Mingyue would probably have been caught red-handed.

Just as Su Mingyue was trying to calm herself down and think about what to do next.

Meng Sufang and Bai Xiaofei have already said goodbye and left the Bai family.

"That's strange. Why hasn't Su, the educated youth, returned home after being away for so long? Where has she been wandering off to?"

Although Meng Sufang didn't want to pay attention to this woman who made her feel strange, she couldn't help but wonder what Su Mingyue had been doing since she left and Bai Yuxiao had gone to look for her.

"Alright, honey, stop thinking about Su Zhiqing. Let's just live our lives well."

Bai Xiaofei was genuinely afraid of this woman and what negative impact she might have on his wife.

Before Su Mingyue came to the brigade, his wife had always been fine.

Meng Sufang knew her husband was right, but she still had a bad feeling.

Even if she stayed far away from Su Mingyue, this matter was still difficult to resolve, so she sighed helplessly.

"I'm afraid things aren't as simple as we think..."

"Huh? That person in front... doesn't that look like Su Zhiqing?"

As she was talking, Meng Sufang caught a glimpse of a familiar figure leaning against a large tree not far ahead.

Seriously? Speak of the devil and he appears.

Bai Xiaofei confirmed: "It really is her."

After all, Su Mingyue was quite pretty. Before Ye Nian'an came to the brigade, she was recognized as a top-tier beauty.

Even with injuries and minor flaws, coupled with the fact that she's a woman his own wife is wary of, it's no wonder she leaves a deep impression!

"Why is she leaning against this big tree all alone? She looks so tired. Did something happen?"

If it were anyone else, Bai Xiaofei would probably have already stepped forward to ask if something had happened.

But Su Mingyue... really didn't want to get too close.

Meng Sufang had the same idea and tugged at Bai Xiaofei's arm, suggesting they just pretend they didn't see it.

She had a premonition that anything good would happen if she got involved with Su Mingyue.

At this moment, Bai Yuxiao rushed over, her face full of anxiety, and said, "Big brother, sister-in-law, have you seen Mingyue? She's been gone for so long and hasn't come back. I've searched the neighborhood all over but haven't found her. I'm a little worried..."

Having learned from the previous experience, Bai Yuxiao was afraid that Su Mingyue might accidentally fall into some ditch and faint again.

"Hey little brother, look, isn't that Su Zhiqing?"

Bai Xiaofei felt that Bai Yuxiao had arrived at the perfect time, and quickly pointed out Su Mingyue's location to him.

Bai Yuxiao glanced at it only once and said with absolute certainty, "It's her!"

As he spoke, he quickened his pace and hurried toward Su Mingyue.

"Bright moon!"

Upon hearing Bai Yuxiao's voice, Su Mingyue's heart skipped a beat.

Having been a modern person and having died once before, Su Mingyue quickly calmed down after preparing herself mentally: "Yu Xiao, what's wrong?"

"I should be asking you, Mingyue. You've been gone for so long, I thought something had happened to you again!"

After Bai Yuxiao looked Su Mingyue up and down and found that apart from being a little dirtier than before she left, she was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief.

“Yu Xiao, I don’t want to go back for now. I’ll just stay nearby. I had a fight with my second and third sisters-in-law and we had a falling out. I don’t want to see them, but I don’t regret it. On the contrary, I feel relieved.”

"They've really gone too far. If I keep putting up with this, I'm afraid I'll get sick..."

Su Mingyue nestled into Bai Yuxiao's arms, not daring to let him see her current expression, lest she reveal any unnecessary flaws.

"I know, Mingyue. It's true that my second and third sisters-in-law went too far. Dad just reprimanded them, so you don't need to be too angry."

"It's getting late, let's head back now."

"kindness……"

Seeing Bai Yuxiao leave with Su Mingyue by the hand, Meng Sufang remained standing, watching their departing figures.

“Wife, they’ve all left, what are you still watching for? I’ll go check on Su Zhiqing. She’s alright, there won’t be any problems.”

"I just have a feeling... this won't end so easily."

Meng Sufang didn't say anything even harsher.

She felt that Su Mingyue was lying.

It's really strange. Why do I harbor such hostility towards Su Mingyue? And yet I can sense her every move?

At this moment, the Chu family returned from the Red Flag Brigade.

Upon seeing the two, Ye Nian'an took the initiative to greet them: "Oh? Comrade Bai Xiaofei, Comrade Meng Sufang, what a coincidence!"

Upon seeing Ye Nian'an, Meng Sufang felt much more at ease and took the initiative to step forward: "Yes, what a coincidence, Dr. Ye."

"We went back to the Bai family home for the festival and are on our way back now. By the way, a lot happened today. Would it be convenient for us to talk in private?"

The only reason Meng Sufang would whisper to Ye Nian'an, after much thought, is Su Mingyue.

She happened to be quite interested in what had happened to Su Mingyue, so she nodded and said, "Of course."

So, after walking to the side, Meng Sufang told Ye Nian'an what had happened that day.

For some reason, she always felt that Ye Nian'an could understand her thoughts.

Perhaps it was because Ye Nian'an had saved his life that he felt a greater sense of reliance and trust.

"oh?"

Ye Nian'an raised an eyebrow: "So, this Su Zhiqing has really gotten herself into a lot of trouble today."

"And Dr. Ye, I don't know if you can believe me, but I have a feeling that Su Zhiqing was lying just now. She must have done something else, but I have no proof..."

"Could it be that I've developed hostility towards Su Zhiqing, and I'm overthinking things? I know it's wrong to think like this, but I just can't help it..."

Ye Nian'an lowered her voice: "To be honest, I also think this Su Zhiqing is indeed very mysterious, and I am quite wary of her."

"However, Comrade Meng Sufang, we have no evidence. Don't say these things to others, or it will only give others cause for gossip."

Ye Nian'an always believed in this strange sixth sense, thinking it was better to be on the safe side than to disbelieve it. She figured it was better to be more cautious about Su Mingyue to avoid trouble, and this idea was definitely correct.

Meng Sufang felt a warmth in her heart and nodded emphatically: "I knew Dr. Ye would understand my feelings. After you said that, I feel like I have finally found a kindred spirit and been recognized. Thank you so much."

After Meng Sufang and Bai Xiaofei left, Chu Xin'er approached Ye Nian'an and asked, "Sister-in-law, what was Comrade Meng Sufang saying to you just now? She was being so secretive."

Ye Nian'an winked at her: "We'll talk about it when we get back."

"good."

When everyone returned to the Chu family home, they suddenly felt something was amiss.

"Someone has been in here!"
