"However, I have never had the intention to hurt anyone, because I know that you are just like me, and life is not easy for anyone. Life is already difficult enough, why should we make things harder for people who are just as unfortunate as us!"
After speaking with a compassionate tone, Zhao Huanhuan sighed and waved her hand, "Go back to work. I just hope that you can straighten your minds in the future and not do things that you will regret."
Hu Doudou and Wei Pingping exchanged a glance, lowered their heads, and turned to leave.
Qiu Yi gave Zhao Huanhuan a deep look before continuing to weed.
