Lin Fengying replied while clearing up the dishes, "Lijuan hasn’t returned from her tailoring apprenticeship, so she’s probably at Xiulan’s place. They’ve grown up together since childhood. They’re very close, so there’s no need to worry."
Tong Yao felt apprehensive, "Xiaohui went to Xiulan’s place?"

Tong Yao exchanged a glance with Si Chen, who apparently had thought of the same possibility. Si Chen sternly stood up, "I’m going to call Xiaohui back for dinner."
With that said, he strode towards the door.
