After exchanging pleasantries with Tiger for a while, Claire Prescott turned her head and returned to her office, yawning continuously.
She reached for her phone, opened WeChat, and immediately saw a message from Finn Prescott: [The Lancaster family invited us to visit them this weekend]
Without a second thought, Claire Prescott replied: [Not going]
The response came quickly from the other side: [Please give some face, it's mutual courtesy]
[I don't want to have any dealings with their family...] Before finishing editing, Claire deleted this sentence and replied: [Not going]
Afterwards, she exited WeChat.
After a bout of contemplation, as if making up her mind, she dialed her uncle's phone number.
...
After work that day, she saw her aunt sitting in the courtyard, teasing a child with a rattle drum, her bread coin jar placed on the table.
Seeing her return, her aunt greeted her with a fake smile: "Claire, you're back from work."
As if nothing had happened.
