“Hey, don’t be like this.”

i Jing still couldn’t stand seeing girls cry, quickly grabbed a tissue and handed it over, “Actually, we just wanted to try sothing new. But Uncle Chen’s skills are good, he will surely find a decent job soon. You can rest assured. He’s a man in his forties; how could he not support himself?”

Chen Guo continued to cry, “But, for my father, he actually considered this place as his own ho. Leaving like this, he feels extrely sad. 1 couldn’t bear it, that’s why 1 ca here on my own. Ah Jing, please don’t think I’m clinging to you. I’m doing all this for the sake of my father.”

“I understand. Please don’t cry for now, okay?” i Jing tried to comfort her, but it seed to have the opposite effect, as Chen Guo cried even harder.

i Shu, who had been silently observing, finally spoke.

Her voice was cold and clear, sending a shiver down one’s spine, “Miss Chen, you can sit down and talk. If you keep crying like this, others might misunderstand that our whole family is bullying you together.”

Chen Guo’s crying abruptly stopped, and she timidly glanced at i Jing, then nodded hesitantly, “Okay, 1 just don’t want All Jing to misunderstand. In my heart, I’ve always valued our friendship.”

She sat in the sa position i Jing had just occupied, and the chair still retained i Jing’s warmth.

Chen Guo’s face turned slightly red.

i Jing felt a bit guilty after hearing her words. “Actually, I’m also reluctant to see Uncle Chen leave. Don’t worry, I can discuss it with my sister.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Guo’s eyes lit up, “Really? All Jing, that’s truly too kind of you! You can rest assured, as long as you can help my father return to work and avoid suffering outside, 1 won’t pester you anymore. We can just be ordinary classmates!”

Hearing this, i Jing’s heart imdiately softened. He then shifted his gaze to i Shu, who sat across with an enigmatic expression, and said, “Sister, considering the current situation, why not let Uncle Chen co back? He is a good person, and we can’t just watch him struggle.”

“In that case,” i Shu, who had been silent all along, finally spoke, “let be straightforward.”

The first half of her sentence gave Chen Guo a glimr of hope, but the latter half made her heart sink again.

“In fact, the reason 1 insisted on Uncle Chen leaving is because he crossed my bottom line. He did sothing that betrayed the i family. But don’t ask for details. I promised Uncle Chen to preserve a shred of dignity for him and not expose what he did to the public.”

i Shu’s words were resolute, indicating that she wouldn’t change her mind.

Chen Guo couldn’t believe it, “This can’t be true! My dad didn’t say that!”

“Then you should go ask Uncle Chen yourself.” i Shu calmly picked up her chopsticks and continued eating. “Xiao Jing, sit down and eat.”

i Jing complied, bringing another chair and taking his plate away from Chen Guo. He continued to eat, head down.

The dining room was filled with the sounds of chewing and utensils clinking.

Embarrassed, Chen Guo sat still. The aroma of the food kept drifting into her nose, and her stomach couldn’t help but growl uncontrollably.

She wished she could find a hole to crawl into, “I’m sorry, 1 haven’t had dinner yet, so…”

Since she had spoken up to this point, they probably wouldn’t realize they should give her a bowl and chopsticks to share this dinner with her!

“Oh, does Miss Chen want to stay and eat with us?” i Shu nonchalantly raised her head.

Chen Guo’s eyes flashed with a look of triumph, “Well, since it’s Sister’s invitation, I can only comply. However, I need to inform my mother first to avoid her worrying about coming back too late.”

Understandingly, i Shu smiled, “It seems 1 didn’t consider it thoroughly. Miss Chen hasn’t gone ho for several days; your family must be worried. I won’t keep you for dinner then.”

i Feng chuckled with a hidden smile. He had figured it out; his sister deliberately wanted to provoke Chen Guo!

Chen Guo’s face turned pale and then flushed. Her expression almost twisted with a mixture of hatred and helplessness. She stamred, “I… I didn’t an that, Sister. In fact, my family knows that 1 ca to Ah Jing’s place. They trust Ah Jing very much.”

Saying this, she shyly glanced at i Jing.

This made i Jing feel uncomfortable. “Don’t say that. It’s getting late today, and we’re almost done eating. You should go ho for dinner.”

Chen Guo, full of resentnt, gritted her teeth. Angry at i Jing’s lack of insight, she had no choice but to stomp her foot and say, “Alright, Ah Jing, just take to the door. Isn’t that too much to ask? I’m a girl in an unfamiliar place; I’m afraid of getting lost..”
