Although I don't want to cause the current embarrassing situation, it has already happened, and it would seem guilty to try to avoid it.
After all, we were all neighbors from now on. We would meet each other sooner or later, and there was no way we could hide from each other, so she simply stood where she was.
When the two of them approached, Meng Jiao took the initiative to say hello, as if she were a neighbor, "You're leaving so soon?"
Sophie answered, "Well, it's almost done."
"What about you, do you need any help? Let Zhao Dong go over and help."
After Sophie signaled, Zhao Dong looked at Meng Jiao, "Is everything done?"
Meng Jiao could clearly feel that Zhao Dong had been deliberately keeping the distance between the two.
She didn't say too much, and her tone didn't even fluctuate at all, "Well, it's done."
In a slightly awkward atmosphere, Sophie signaled: "Zhao Dong, you go and put your things in the car first, and I'll chat with Miss Meng for a while."
It wasn't until Zhao Dong walked away that Sophie turned around and said, "What a fate. We will be neighbors again in the future."
Meng Jiao also sighed, "We are quite destined. I can't even hide from you."
Sophie smiled and said, "I am not feeling well during this period, so I have to stay at my mother-in-law's house temporarily. When I move back later, you can come to my house often."
"Zhao Dong is usually busy, and sometimes I am alone at home, which is quite boring."
Meng Jiao turned her head for the first time, "Is it convenient?"
Sophie also turned around, "What's the inconvenience?"
Invisibly, the two women looked at each other!
Meng Jiao smiled, "Aren't you worried about attracting wolves into your house?"
Sophie shrugged and said, "It's useless to worry about some things. For example, right now, I don't want to see you, but didn't you still move here?"
"Besides, a man's heart cannot be tied down. If it can be picked up by a wolf casually, there is nothing surprising about it."
"Ms. Meng, do you think this is true?"
Meng Jiao nodded, "I agree!"
Sophie looked at the time and said, "Next time I go home to chat, Zhao Dong is still waiting, so I'll leave first."
Meng Jiao waved, "Bye, see you next time."
The moment Sophie turned around, Zhang Tong happened to come out.
Seeing Sophie was about to leave, she asked in surprise, "Miss Su, why don't you go in and sit down?"
Sophie refused, "It's too late, let's do it next time."
Halfway through, Sophie turned her head again and said, "By the way, Miss Zhang, there is a group of property owners in our community. Why didn't I see you?"
Zhang Tong explained with a normal expression, "I'm usually busy with work and don't have time."
Sophie nodded with a stunned expression, "Oh, I thought you were not the owner, so let's do this for now, and I'll add you to the group another day."
"The owners' committee will organize a group activity in a few days. I just moved here not long ago and I don't know anyone well. It's a bit awkward to participate alone."
"I'll call you when the time comes. If Miss Meng is at home, come with us. It's crowded and we can have some company."
"That's it for now, you guys are busy, see you another day."
By the time Sophie got in the car, the car quickly left the community.
Zhang Tong stood there and sighed, "No wonder you can tie Zhao Dong tightly, Jiaojiao, this woman is not simple."
"If she is unwilling to let go, I dare say that no woman can snatch Zhao Dong away. I am afraid that even you are not her opponent."
Meng Jiao sighed, "Yes, I lost to her from the very beginning."
"I don't have her courage or her courage. To put it bluntly, I have the pretentiousness of a literary youth."
"Tell me, two people obviously have feelings for each other, but I have to pursue some kind of pure love. Isn't this asking for trouble?"
"So I admire Sophie very much. If I lose to her, I am convinced that I lost."
At this point, Meng Jiao changed the subject, "What about you? Sister Tong, do you know how powerful she is after living here for so long?"
Zhang Tong smiled bitterly, "I met her a few times when I sent my daughter to kindergarten. We had a brief chat with her, but we didn't have much contact."
"As you know, I used to work as a lobby manager in a hotel, and he is the president of the company. We are not on the same level and have nothing to talk about."
There should have been some words of inferiority, but when they came out of Zhang Tong's mouth, they were extremely dull.
Meng Jiao had a vague illusion that Zhang Tong must have an extraordinary past. Otherwise, how could she take it all lightly?
And after Sophie's reminder, Meng Jiao suddenly realized something was wrong.
Although this community is not the top in Tianzhou, it is still one of the best. If nothing else, the property fee alone is not a small sum!
With Zhang Tong's salary as a lobby manager, he not only has to maintain a car, but also such a big house. Is this possible for a single mother?
Zhang Tong seemed to notice Meng Jiao's confusion and took the initiative to explain: "Sophie is right, I am not the owner. Although I live in the house, my name is not written on it, and the same is true for the car."
"I don't have to worry about the property fees, water and electricity bills here, including various car expenses, my daughter's living expenses, and tuition fees. Someone will come here every month to settle the bills."
"Don't worry too much, I'm not a poor princess, and I don't have any secret life experience."
"These are all things my daughter's father repaid to me. To put it bluntly, it was because he took pity on me."
"If it weren't for my daughter, I probably wouldn't even be qualified to live here."
"When my daughter comes of age, these things will be passed on to my daughter, so I've been muddle along all these years."
"Meeting you today has made me see myself back then and given me some hope for life."
"I want to help you, and I want to help myself too!"
"How's it going? Is there anything else you want to ask?"
Meng Jiao was touched, "Sister Tong, I'm sorry..."
Zhang Tong held her hand and said, "I have nothing to apologize for. I didn't want to say it before because I felt I had nothing to say."
"Since Sophie mentioned it, I'll tell you."
Meng Jiao said, "Sister Tong, actually you don't have to..."
Zhang Tong smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Since we are going to work together in the future, trust is the foundation. Besides, I didn't intend to hide it from you."
While talking, the two of them returned to the room.
After his daughter fell asleep, Zhang Tong poured two cups of coffee over and spoke in a quiet tone, as if he was telling someone else's story.
"I come from an ordinary working-class family. I grew up with a halo. I have heard of countless names like school beauty or talented girl."
"Of course, I can live up to my family's expectations. I graduated from a prestigious university and entered the top domestic company as an intern as an outstanding graduate."
"That's when Nannan's father and I met. We fell in love at first sight and fell in love not long after."
"He told me that he was a student from a poor family, and I admired his talent. He broke through the boundaries every time he went back and forth."
"I didn't know until later that he was a poor student? He was fake!"
"He is actually the son of the heir to the group, one of the heirs to a fortune worth tens of billions. The real master is a man that I, Zhang Tong, can't even reach with my feet!"
"What about me? I jumped from an intern to a young lady from a wealthy family in the future. My originally ordinary life has been pushed to the forefront."
"Can you understand my state of mind at that time?"
