Family members' job issues were considered trivial matters to Fan Huang, and he usually didn't meddle in them.
However, since Suizi brought it up, Fan Huang took it to heart.
While he didn't promise anything to Suizi, when he got back, he still had someone check into Fan Lili's performance at her workplace.
Two days later, Chen Lijun was strolling around in Fan Huang's courtyard, and noticed him sitting alone under a tree, playing chess against himself.
"Feeling down?" Chen Lijun sat across from him, glanced at the chessboard. It was set up for a losing game—the kind he played when he was stressed.
This man rarely showed any extreme expression. If you wanted to guess his thoughts, you had to pay attention to the minute details.
Fan Huang said nothing but reset the pieces for another round, intending to play a game with her.
After walking a few steps, Fan's mother came in leading the sobbing Fan Lili. Upon seeing them, Chen Lijun finally understood why his mood was so low.
