Bab 587: Chapter 587: She is Narrow-Minded

"Every family has its own demons," Shopkeeper Zhou said, forcing a smile.

He was both surprised and frustrated by what he heard.

Qiao Xiaomai, a gold mine, had to endure all these things. Tsk.

"Shall we make milk candy now?" Xiaomai didn't care about what Shopkeeper Zhou thought. Her previous pleasant remark was mere politeness. After fighting with her useless dad and stepmother for so many years, the notion of not airing one's dirty laundry had long been trampled beneath her.

What could not be shared? She preferred frankness anyway.

Shopkeeper Zhou merely sighed. Upon hearing her words, he discarded his stray thoughts and said with a smile, "Okay, what ingredients do we need? I'll have someone prepare them."

So, thereafter, Xiaomai stayed in Zuixian Building to make milk candies, and Tong Sanlang went in pursuit of Zhu Hongyun.

An hour later, Tong Sanlang returned.

Xiaomai was waiting for him in the main hall of the Zuixian Building, toting a basket on her back.
