She watched helplessly as Jiang Yuzhu's figure disappeared deep into the neighborhood, a surge of despair welling up inside her.
A flicker of confusion emerged in Jiang Yuzhu's heart. She had never caused any harm to Shen Nian, nor had she ever bullied her.
Although she didn't want to be involved in any trouble, Shen Nian's crying grew louder and louder, gradually touching her heart.
At the entrance of the neighborhood, Shen Nian's sobs became even more sorrowful, filled with desperation.
Her body trembled slightly, as if she were enduring indescribable pain.
Jiang Yuzhu stopped in her tracks, took a deep breath, and her heart filled with conflict.
On one hand, she did not want to get herself involved in a complicated situation, but on the other hand, she could not completely ignore someone on the brink of despair.
"What's the matter, tell me," Jiang Yuzhu's voice carried a hint of hesitation as she turned around to look towards Shen Nian at the entrance of the neighborhood.
