"Do you know the way?"
"I remember now," Mu Anxiao lied.
Uncle Chen picked up his wine glass and said, "You child, it's already dark. How can I possibly let you go home by yourself? Come, sit down and eat before you go."
"No need," Mu Anxiao refused.
Uncle Chen was not an irresponsible person. After Mu Anxiao refused again, he put down his wine glass. "Then I'll take you." As he spoke, he stood up.
"I can go by myself..."
"How can you walk if you have no money? I'll take you," Uncle Chen said, smiling at Feng Dad and winking. "Sorry, we're leaving first."
"Alright, be careful on the road," Feng Dad said with a smile.
"Okay!" Uncle Chen agreed and quickly walked to Mu Anxiao's side, saying, "Let's go."
Mu Anxiao looked at Uncle Chen like this and reluctantly agreed. "Okay." As she spoke, she glanced at the people present, turned around, and walked ahead.
Feng Mother felt resentful at Mu Anxiao's appearance, clenched her fists, and said angrily, "This girl is here just to stir up trouble. It's too much."
Feng Dad looked at Feng Mother's actions and said, "We're just here for dinner today. Let's all be more open-minded. Aren't they all children?"
"Yes, they are all children," Mother Shi chimed in, cooperating with Feng Dad.
Seeing that Mother Shi had spoken, Feng Mother felt too embarrassed to say anything more.
Uncle Chen followed behind Mu Anxiao and asked, "Did you come to help Qi Shi?"
Mu Anxiao stopped and half-turned to look at Uncle Chen. "Yes, but as it turns out, I made things worse."
"Anyone who overheard that phone call would have misunderstood, but the facts prove that Feng Qi Shi's mother is indeed his biological mother."
"Then why did that woman speak like that?" Mu Anxiao was confused.
"Every family has its own troubles. It's not appropriate for us to ask about their family matters, but his father treats him very well."
"That's good," Mu Anxiao said with relief.
"Let's go, I'll take you..."
"I don't know the address," Mu Anxiao interrupted Uncle Chen.
"Didn't you just say you knew?" Uncle Chen was surprised.
"It was just a casual remark."
"You child," Uncle Chen pointed at Mu Anxiao and pursed his lips into a smile. "But speaking of which, you only met Qi Shi today. Why are you so concerned about him?"
"I..." Mu Anxiao thought for a moment and said, "He helped me today, and I can't owe him a favor, so I wanted to return the favor. I just didn't expect that I would touch his bottom line and end up being meddlesome."
"You're quite self-aware for a child," Uncle Chen chuckled.
Mu Anxiao nodded. Just as she was about to speak, Uncle Chen's phone rang.
"I have to take a call," he said, pulling out his phone from his pocket.
Mu Anxiao lowered her head.
Uncle Chen answered the call, "Hello."
"Hello, did you call me?"
Uncle Chen listened to the old man's voice and couldn't help but look at Mu Anxiao, then exclaimed excitedly, "Yes, yes, yes, um, is your granddaughter named Mu Anxiao?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Zhang Yan replied without hesitation.
"Oh, um, your granddaughter doesn't know how to get home. Could you send me the address? I'll take her home."
"Who are you?" Zhang Yan asked guardedly.
"I'm a biology teacher. To be honest, your granddaughter came to our school today," Uncle Chen explained carefully.
