Before leaving, the two agreed upon the next time they would meet up, as well as to keep in touch in case anything came up.
Nan Fei watched as Huo Beijiang's car disappeared from sight, her expression growing more serious.
She knew Bei Jiang was a proud person. He often refrained from sharing many things with her, and currently, she was powerless to help him. It seemed she was still too weak; indeed, compared to those who wielded real power, the difference was like heaven and earth.
As she walked home lost in thought, she encountered neighbors from the village who greeted her warmly. Many showed surprise at her sudden return, but since the Jiang Family was now markedly different from before, no one gossiped or disparaged them like they used to.
The door to her own home was locked, so Nan Fei went to her grandmother's house.
