The person standing next to the car was none other than Meng Jiao.
Sophie was slightly stunned. It was not like usual. Perhaps it was because of this incident that she felt particularly insecure.
He held Zhao Dong's arm slightly tightly with his hand, put a calm smile on his face, and then took the initiative to say, "Miss Meng!"
Meng Jiao was also a little surprised, but she quickly returned to normal. She looked at Sophie first, and then at Zhao Dong.
Finally, he looked back and said, "Miss Su, do you live here too?"
Sophie smiled and asked, "Miss Meng, don't you know?"
Meng Jiao was about to explain when Zhang Tong's voice came from behind her, "Jiaojiao, I forgot to tell you just now that the house in front is Miss Su's house."
"I moved into this community earlier than Miss Su, and we are neighbors!"
As Zhang Tong finished speaking, Meng Jiao didn't know how to speak, and the atmosphere was a little strange.
Fortunately, the daughter in Zhang Tong's arms broke the embarrassment and greeted with a childlike face: "Uncle Zhao, beautiful sister!"
Sophie stepped forward and shook the girl's little hand, turned around with a smile and said, "Is Miss Meng planning to move in?"
Meng Jiao explained, "The apartment over there has been surrendered. Now I live with Sister Tong, and I can help Sister Tong take care of the child."
Sophie nodded, "The relationship is good, and we can be neighbors again."
"How's it going? Is there anything you're busy with?"
Meng Jiao smiled and said, "It's nothing. We hired a moving company and the move is almost done."
Sophie said enthusiastically: "Zhao Dong, you stay here to help and see if there is anything you need help with. I'll go up first."
Meng Jiao said hurriedly: "No need..."
Sophie waved her hand to interrupt and said generously: "It doesn't matter, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. If you have any questions, call Zhao Dong at any time. You know he is a warm-hearted person."
Without waiting for Zhao Dong to answer, Sophie walked away.
Meng Jiao lost her mind and opened her mouth, wanting to explain to Zhao Dong.
As a result, Zhao Dong didn't even look at her, turned around and followed Sophie away, while holding Sophie in his hand.
Meng Jiao's heart seemed to be clenched tightly, and even breathing became slightly labored!
When the two of them walked away, Zhang Tong put his daughter on the ground and told her, "Go and play by yourself, don't go too far."
Meng Jiao almost lost her mind and asked, "Sister Tong, why didn't you tell me before?"
Zhang Tong asked, "What did I tell you? Tell you that Sophie and I are neighbors, tell you that Zhao Dong and I live in the same community?"
"Or are I telling you, I can see their bedroom window from my bedroom?"
"Jiaojiao, since you don't want to lose to Sophie, you must first get your mentality right. Do you need Sophie's approval for you to live here?"
"You have to remember that this is my home. We are sisters now. You are living in my home at my invitation!"
"You, Meng Jiao, are just and righteous, you don't need to worry about anyone's opinion!"
Meng Jiao opened her mouth, "But..."
Zhang Tong waved his hand, "I know, you don't want Zhao Dong to misunderstand that you are approaching him on purpose."
"But have you ever discovered that you care too much about other people's feelings?"
"Have you ever noticed that no matter how frank you appear on the surface, you always have a natural fear of Sophie mentally?"
"You always feel that you are lower than Sophie, you always feel that your reputation is not justified, and even breathing in front of Sophie is wrong!"
"Jiaojiao, you have the wrong mentality!"
"If you keep this mentality, when will you be able to stand upright in front of Sophie?"
Seeing Meng Jiao deep in thought, Zhang Tong took her arm and said, "The reason why I don't tell you this is to help you adjust your mentality."
"As long as we live openly and have a clear conscience, does it matter what others think of us?"
"As I said before, the reason why I agreed to help you is not to help you fight for anything. I just want to give you a chance and give myself a chance."
"I don't want to bow down in front of men easily, and I don't want to give those men the opportunity to hurt myself easily!"
"I want to prove to everyone that we women can live openly and wonderfully without men!"
Meng Jiao turned around and said, "Sister Tong, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."
Zhang Tong smiled bitterly, "Sisters who share the same fate, why are you saying such unreasonable things?"
Meng Jiao tentatively said, "Sister Tong, you know a lot more about emotional issues than I do."
Zhang Tong sighed, "The more I experience and the more injuries I get, the more I understand. Sometimes I really wish I knew less."
Meng Jiao hesitated for a moment and then said in confusion, "Sister Tong, why do I feel like you don't like Sophie very much?"
Zhang Tong smiled and asked, "Why, are you afraid that I will fall in love with Zhao Dong?"
Meng Jiao laughed to herself, "How do I have the qualifications?"
Zhang Tong seemed to be lost in memories and was silent for a moment before speaking, "I can't say whether I like her or not. It's just that I was once stepped on so hard by a woman like Sophie that I couldn't lift my head up."
"That's why I can't be friendly with this type of woman. When I see you, it's like seeing me in the past, just as humble."
Meng Jiao seemed to understand something, "Sister Tong, you..."
Zhang Tong didn't say much, "I have a lot of stories. I'll tell you when I get the chance."
"Jiaojiao, I have a question for you?"
Meng Jiao nodded, "You say."
Zhang Tong asked seriously: "The reason why you got stuck between Zhao Dong and Sophie is because you can't let go of Zhao Dong and you like him in your heart? Or is it because you simply don't want to lose to Sophie and want to compete with her?"
Meng Jiao was surprised, "Sister Tong, why do you ask that?"
Zhang Tong didn't say much, "Answer me first, don't hide anything."
Meng Jiao thought seriously, then smiled bitterly, "I don't know, maybe they are all there, right?"
"It's definitely true that I like Zhao Dong. Otherwise, I wouldn't have done so much for him in the first place."
Zhang Tong's question was sharp again, "Even if he abandons you for Sophie, you still don't hate him?"
Meng Jiao smiled and said, "I hated him, but later I figured out that I didn't have the courage to express myself. What qualifications do I have to hate him?"
"What's more, for the things I did for Zhao Dong, I didn't expect him to give anything in return. I just hoped to help him."
Zhang Tong said thoughtfully: "So, everything you did today was also for Zhao Dong?"
Meng Jiao shook her head and said, "Yes, I want to become excellent. I want to live a shining life."
"But my purpose is not to snatch Zhao Dong from Sophie's hands."
"To destroy other people's families just because you like it? I'm not that shameless."
"I just hope that I can live a free and confident life like Sophie."
"I just hope that I can help Zhao Dong when he encounters trouble."
"Maybe I am a bit competitive. I want to prove to everyone that I, Meng Jiao, am no worse than Sophie. I can do what Sophie can do!"
Zhang Tong was even more puzzled, "So, you did all this without any purpose, just for psychological comfort?"
