"It's okay, District Chief Yao, I can wait outside."
"No problem, no problem."
Xia Xue couldn't refuse and had to sit down on the sofa. Even she could sense the eerie atmosphere here; this uncomfortable aura was emanating from the man opposite Yao Zheng. She fiddled with her phone and realized there was no signal, which was strange because this had never happened before. She glanced at Dan Qing beside her and decided not to say anything since she didn't react much.
Yao Zheng and the man barely had any conversation. Not sure if it was because of her presence, the man stood up shortly and walked past her.
The man was very aloof, walking lightly, and though he wore leather shoes, they made no sound on the wooden floor. Yao Zheng saw him to the door before returning to the sofa. "A friend who came back from abroad and brought some gifts."
"I must be intruding," Xia Xue maintained her usual gentle and kind smile.
