Before Qiao Nan was married to Zhai Sheng, the old neighbors in the northern quad had nothing good to say about her. Everyone was using her as a negative example to discipline their children.
Although Qiao Nan didn't mind them gossiping about her, she didn't accept everyone's 'apology.' She only picked a few families in the neighborhood.
Those that spoke badly about Qiao Nan knew that her return had nothing to do with them.
Therefore, when they heard about Qiao Nan's return, there was only jealousy and envy.
On the other hand, those that were on good terms with her were looking forward to her return.
As she expected, these families welcomed her with all they had when Qiao Nan showed up with gifts. It was as if Qiao Nan was marrying into their families, and some even invited Zhai Sheng to visit next time.
Of course, Qiao Nan didn't agree to those requests as she simply left after dropping off her presents.
