Xiaojiao passed the phone to Su Yue, and she walked away to open her bag.
Su Yan sighed quietly to himself, and he was about to end the call.
Su Yue hesitantly pressed her lips and cut across. “Brother, I heard that…”
She paused since she didn’t know if she should pose such a question.
After a moment of hesitation, she asked, “I heard that Xin Yanting is in N City. Is that why you traveled here so often?”
She had wanted to ask Su Yan during his previous visit.
According to Third sister-in-law, Su Yan didn’t have to personally travel to N City to settle work-related matters for Flourish & Prosper.
He always claimed that it was because of work. But even visiting her and Xiaojiao couldn’t be the only reason, too.
If he wanted to visit them, why did he claim that he came only for work?
Su Yan’s face fell and he instantly denied it. “No, it’s not.”
He smiled immediately and raised his voice. “Xiaojiao, aren’t you talking to me anymore?”
“Bye, Uncle.” Su Xiaojiao didn’t even glance at Su Xiaojiao and merely said goodbye.
Su Yue grinned at Su Yan. “See! She doesn’t even care.”
Su Yan smiled.
…
“Aunty, what is inside that box?”
Her helper came back from the supermarket with a huge shopping bag in one hand and a paper box in the other. The box seemed really heavy.
Su Yue asked as she walked towards the helper.
She received the box from the helper and as expected, it was heavy.
Her helper panted and replied, “The neighbor staying at number 520 came back from a work trip and insisted on giving us some.
Su Yue frowned. “How can we constantly take their stuff?”
This neighbor lived next to them and only moved in a month ago. The owner wasn’t a local and traveled often. Only the helper was at home most of the time.
Her neighbor’s helper was close to Su Yue’s helper, and they always hang out together.
And gradually, the owner would regularly send them food products through Su Yue’s helper.
There were products from all over the world.
“I agree.” The helper frowned as though she was feeling bad too. “But the owner is very generous and warm. It’s hard to reject. We can return the favor by sharing some stuff as well.”
“Okay.” Su Yue nodded. She stared at the box and wondered where the owner traveled to this time.
She placed the box on the table and opened it. She could recognize all the products.
She raised her head and glanced at the helper. “Did the owner go to China?”
The lady nodded. “Seems like it.”
Su Yue didn’t probe further. She felt a sense of familiarity when she saw the labels with Chinese words.
She found ham and dried bean curd.
“Oh!” Su Yue discovered a bottle of the chili sauce inside the box, and she was pleasantly surprised. “This is the chili I wanted. And yesterday, I asked my brother to bring some for me.”
“Such a coincidence,” replied the helper.
Su Yue quipped, “I’ll call my brother to bring more food products with him. Help me hand them over to our neighbor.”
When Jiao Chen was still alive, they had a close relationship with their neighbors.
