Xie Wanying got up, changed her clothes, and, suppressing her wildly beating heart, went to the compound first.
The Xie family's gate was locked, and it was impossible to tell that anyone had been there.
Xie Wanying sneered, "So impatient? You just got the money from me and you can't wait to send it to Shu Ying. She's lived such a luxurious life for so many years, do you think she'd even care about this pittance you have?"
It was just that the old couple were trying to get the cold shoulder from others.
She hid behind the big tree again and glanced at Shu Ying's yard. Song Zhaodi was watering the plants, and everything was quiet as if nothing had happened.
"Wanying, what are you doing here?"
Zhao Chunjuan stood in her yard and saw a familiar figure outside. After confirming that it was Xie Wanying, she came out with a cucumber in her hand.
Li Chunyan from the next courtyard was crocheting shoes for her child. She was holding a crochet hook in her hand and had a bag of yarn slung over her arm. She followed along.
Seeing that everything was normal, Xie Wanying felt somewhat relieved for the time being.
"It's nothing. My parents came to my place this morning, but they only exchanged a few words before they had to rush to the hospital to see Zhiyan. I thought it wasn't easy for them to come back, so I bought some fruit to visit them. I didn't expect them to still be here."
Li Chunyan and Zhao Lijuan exchanged a glance, their expressions somewhat subtle.
"Your parents left at noon, didn't you know?"
Xie Wanying felt a surge of excitement.
They've left?
So they didn't see Song Zhaodi at all?
She suppressed the urge to smile and asked again to confirm, "My parents are gone? Didn't they just get back yesterday? Could you two have made a mistake?"
Zhao Lijuan took a bite of cucumber and said firmly, "How could that be? They only had one day off. They were picked up from the hospital after lunch. Many people saw it."
Li Chunyan was also somewhat suspicious, "You didn't know about this? Didn't you just say that your parents went to your house this morning? Didn't they tell you?"
Xie Wanying shook her head. "Perhaps they forgot because they were in such a rush."
Zhao Lijuan still remembered her strange expression last time, and asked with concern, "By the way, Wanying, you seemed very uncomfortable after hearing Song Zhaodi's name last time. Do you two have some kind of grudge?"
Song Wanying's smile was somewhat forced, but she quickly covered it up. "We've never met before, so how could we have any grudges? I just thought the name was strange, and I was thinking about my parents, who might be coming back soon, so I was in a hurry to prepare gifts for them and forgot to say goodbye before leaving."
