Fang Qiao initially thought it was Jin Xin, but upon hearing that he looked quite refined, she ruled him out. Then, upon hearing that he wore glasses, she realized it definitely wasn't him.
She thought of someone, Wu Tianyou, Sun Shuyi's boyfriend, but then felt it was impossible.
After all, she had a grudge against Sun Shuyi, and she had only met Wu Tianyou once.
They don't even know each other, so why is he looking for her?
baffling.
Fang Qiao washed her face and changed her cloth shoes into sandals for home wear.
Since the beginning of June, the weather has been getting hotter and hotter, and you'll be covered in sweat with the slightest movement.
It was a bit stuffy in the courtyard, but there was a cool breeze under the big poplar tree outside the gate.
Fang Qiao and Xiao Jing simply moved two small stools and went outside to cool off under the shade of the trees.
Chen Guizhi thought the same way, and she came over with her youngest son, Qian Xiaowu.
The two children squatted on the ground watching ants move their nest, while Fang Qiao sat on a small stool, holding one child in one arm and fanning herself with the other, chatting with Chen Guizhi.
We had only been talking for a short while when we saw someone walking towards us from the front.
It was Li Dan.
But it's not even 10 o'clock yet, it's not time to get off work at all.
Fang Qiao guessed that she either left early or didn't go to work at all.
"Sister Dan, why are you leaving get off work so early today?" Fang Qiao asked deliberately. "Where's Lai'er? Why didn't she come back with you?"
As Li Dan drew closer, Fang Qiao noticed that she was carrying three square packets of traditional Chinese medicine wrapped in oil paper.
She explained with a smile, "I took the day off today and didn't go to work. I figured I'd only be gone for a little while, so I left Lay to play at home by herself."
"You didn't go to work? Oh dear, that's terrible!" Chen Guizhi exclaimed. "Director Zhang just took your son, Lai'er, to the daycare center to look for you."
Li Dan's breath hitched. She and Director Zhang had never gotten along. When she married Liu Dongliang, it was because Director Zhang said she was a bad person that they almost couldn't even get their marriage application done.
So her voice unconsciously carried a hint of temper: "This Liu Lai'er, instead of staying home and playing, she's always causing me trouble."
She couldn't help but ask, "I locked the outer door properly, how did she get out? And why did she go to see Director Zhang?"
“I took her there,” Fang Qiao said expressionlessly.
Li Dan's expression was somewhat unpleasant, and she inwardly resented Fang Qiao for meddling.
"I'll only lock her up for a little while, I'll be right back. Why are you taking her to see Director Zhang?"
“You left without a word, without even giving the child breakfast, and locked her in the house, leaving her screaming from hunger. You knew you'd be back soon, but I didn't. What if you didn't come back until the afternoon? Who else could I turn to if not Director Zhang?”
Fang Qiao ignored Li Dan's sour face. Anyway, their relationship had already deteriorated because of Tian Tian's matter. The reason they hadn't officially broken off relations was simply because adults tacitly maintained a superficial relationship.
She waved her hand and said, "Sister Dan, you don't need to give me that look. If it weren't for the child being pitiful, I wouldn't bother with other people's business. Instead of arguing with me, why don't you go to Director Zhang's place and pick up the child?"
Just then, an angry female voice came from behind: "No need to answer, I'm coming myself."
Hearing Director Zhang's voice, Li Dan's heart tightened.
