Wei finally learned the hard way that having a crowd was alright as long as Lihua got a place to sit. He thought and thought and agreed that from a woman's point of view, anybody would hesitate a bit to climb into an empty bus with only the driver and conductor. Who were men, and she was a lone woman and pregnant at that.
Though Chang Fang was his underling, Lihua didn't know about it, so obviously, she wouldn't trust a stranger who was randomly acting so nice to her out of nowhere.
Wei felt disappointed in himself.
I screwed up.
He wanted to help her but scared her instead.
The next bus arrived in twenty minutes, and once again, it was Chang Fang as the conductor, albeit in a different disguise.
Lihua was finally satisfied to see people inside. "See? Those people were scammers! How come there is a crowd now?"
Wei cleared his throat.
Learning from the previous experience, Chang Fang acted normal and politely smiled at her rather than hyper-welcoming her.
