However, her husband and son were engaged in charity work in this community, so Chen Yu and Lin Lele did not see them in the dormitory before.
Zhang Yun led Chen Yu and Lin Lele through the bustling crowd to the cafeteria area.
As lunch was drawing to a close, there weren't many people in the cafeteria; only about a hundred people were queuing up.
