Chapter 231: Annoying Problems
Today, Si Chen was working and wouldn’t be home until the evening, so Tong Yao wasn’t in a hurry to return home either. She took the group of four to the local market to buy supplies for the shop. They spent the whole afternoon shopping and bought most of what they temporarily needed for the shop.
As they were leaving the market, they unexpectedly ran into Liu Qing, who had brought her child to go shopping. Seeing Tong Yao out shopping with four men, she thought her eyes were deceiving her. As she stepped closer, she confirmed it was indeed Tong Yao and couldn’t help but give a sardonic glance at the men behind her.
"Oh, weren’t you looking for a job? Why are you here shopping and with four bodyguards to boot? Did Dr. Si arrange this for you?"
Gu Hongwei didn’t know Liu Qing, but hearing her words, he couldn’t help but frown. The tone of her voice and the glance she gave painted an uncomfortable picture. He wasn’t sure of Liu Qing’s relationship with Tong Yao, so he didn’t intervene.
The rest of the three men also kept their discontent faces silent.
"They are students at Kyoto University. I have something to do, so I’ll go first." Tong Yao didn’t want to say more to Liu Qing, she lifted her foot and walked away directly.
Long after Tong Yao and the others were out of sight, Liu Qing finally retract her gaze. Like discovering a piece of grand news, she lost interest in walking around the market. After buying a few more snacks for her child, she hurriedly returned to the living area.
After delivering the supplies to the store, Tong Yao took the group to eat. When they returned home, they saw Liu Qing and a few other sisters-in-law whispering in the corridor. Their faces were full of incredulity. They would stop to snicker while their eyes frequently wandered towards Tong Yao’s door.
