The strategy failed, she came back holding the bottle

Chapter 259 Neighbor or Murderer

"Xiaobao, what's wrong with you? Did your mother drink milk?"

Zhao Ziwen leaned against the door frame with his arms around his shoulders, looking at them leisurely: "Oh, the child is growing, so I gave him some to drink."

The old lady was devastated: "What? You gave him that bottle of milk? He is your own son! You...you..."

Zhao Ziwen yelled, "What? What's wrong with me feeding my son a glass of milk? Or is there something wrong with that glass of milk? Are you planning to poison me?"

The old lady suddenly reacted, wiped her tears and collapsed: "No, maybe Xiaobao has an upset stomach. I'll go and take a look."

Zhao Ziwen glanced at the people in the living room below, shrank his neck and didn't dare to look at her, and returned to the room bored.

.........

On the other side, Man Yue has already gone to school.

She moved out of the dormitory and when she wanted to go back to her room after class in the afternoon, she saw Xie Xiao's mother at the door. As soon as she saw her, she immediately came to greet her.

"Manyue, are you done with class?"

Man Yue's impression of her was that of a strong woman, and she had always respected her. She nodded when she heard that.

Xie Xiao's mother smiled and said, "Auntie has no other intention in coming here this time. I just want to apologize to you for what Xie Xiao did wrong. He has been sick these past two days and has been lying in the hospital..."

Man Yue looked over and immediately explained:

"Of course, I'm not asking you to forgive him. I just want to apologize to you on her behalf. His father wasn't with him when he was young, and I neglected to educate him. He looks gentle, but he actually has low self-esteem."

"I told him about the gap between you two before, and he came to the company right away to learn how to handle things from me. He wants to become better and more worthy of you."

"He lacks confidence in front of you, so when he encounters a problem, he dares not ask. He can only waste time on it, and he will make mistakes if he is not careful."

"Auntie doesn't want to quibble about his faults, I just want to explain to him that he is really not the kind of person with low character or who is fickle. You must not hate him."

Man Yue knew what she meant and said calmly, "I don't hate him, and I won't use the Jiang family to cause you trouble in the future. Please rest assured."

She was just angry at being betrayed.

Xie Xiao's mother said so much, as if she was waiting for her to say this, and nodded with relief: "Okay, Auntie knows, I will definitely take good care of him in the future and not let him bother you again."

"Ah."

Watching the car leave, Man Yue looked at the time and decided to go have a meal first.

A force pulled her arm, causing it to sway. Zheng Shu suddenly grabbed her wrist from behind, "Man Yue, why did you suddenly move out of the dormitory? You didn't even say hello when you returned from get out of class. He Nuan must have been worried about you, right?"

Looking back, He Nuan and Wang Yi were following behind, and someone silently looked away.

Zheng Shu and Wang Yi looked at each other and immediately realized that they were having a quarrel.

Zheng Shu: "By the way, you're going to eat now! Our restaurant has opened and business is pretty good right now. Let's find a place to chat!"

Having said that, he pulled Man Yue away.

The days are particularly short in winter, and it is already dark at five o'clock.

The group went to a noodle shop near the school and ordered a bowl of hot beef noodles. Zheng Shu and Wang Yi were acquaintances, so the boss greeted them with a smile and even gave them two extra slices of beef.

Zheng Shu: "Man Yue, you haven't been here for the past two months and I didn't know. Last time, we said we were causing trouble for those people. When our restaurant opened, they even went to give gifts and apologize. They didn't have the arrogance they had before at all."

"The customer flow has been quite stable recently. As a major shareholder, do you want to go and have a look over the weekend?"

Man Yue swallowed the beef in her mouth and said: "No need, you guys can take care of it, whether it's a loss or a profit is fine."

Wang Yi lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Indeed, there's no need. Although college offers a lot of freedom, you've missed classes for so long that you can't guarantee you won't fail the final exam. You should focus on reviewing."

Zheng Shu sighed, "It's almost the end of the semester. If I fail the same course twice in a row, I'll be asked to drop out!"

Wang Yi looked at him coldly and said, "You don't know whether you learned it or not. If you want to just muddle through, I think you should drop out of school and work!"

Zheng Shu felt guilty: "When you go back later, you can make up for it for me."

Wang Yi: "Let's talk about it later. I still need to review myself!"

He Nuan, who had been silent the whole time, also spoke up: "I think they'll give us the key points in a few days!"

Zheng Shu: "What are you thinking! Not all teachers mark key points. The professor of Mao Zedong Thought is notoriously strict, so he doesn't do that."

When working, I am afraid of losing my job; when in college, I am afraid of failing a course.

Not wanting to exchange pleasantries anymore, Man Yue ignored He Nuan's hesitant look.

After finishing the noodles, I said goodbye to them.

Back to the house near the university, it is a community with two households per floor.

After entering the community, she always felt a chill on her back, as if someone was following her.

The elevator door opened and he walked in. There was a tall man about 180cm tall coming in with him, who also didn't press the floor button.

He was wearing a black sweatshirt and a baseball cap, so his face couldn't be seen clearly. He stood behind her without making any movement.

Man Yue hoped she was overthinking it. Fortunately, this person got off the elevator earlier than her and opened the door opposite her by pressing the password.

It turned out to be the neighbor!

Man Yue felt relieved and opened the door and went in.

It’s so nice to live alone. Man Yue stays in the living room playing games until midnight.

While I was playing, I suddenly heard the sound of sharpening a knife. The sound insulation in this community is good, and the sound came from the open window next door.

But the game was at a critical moment and she didn't pay attention to it for the time being. After the game was over and the noise stopped, she didn't care anymore.

When Man Yue was alone, besides eating and sleeping, she still had some hobbies, such as puzzles and games. She didn't want to play today, so she curled up on the sofa and turned on the big TV.

After a while, the doorbell rang.

She raised her eyebrows. She didn't order takeout or buy anything. Who would come at this time?

She slowly got off the sofa, walked to the door and turned on the electronic screen of the video doorbell. She saw a man dressed in black and wearing a baseball cap, so her face could not be seen. She thought for a while before recognizing that it was the neighbor across the street who took the elevator with her.

What's this for? She seemed to hear the sound of someone sharpening a knife next door, and her mind raced. What did she think of? Could it be a murderer?

No, that shouldn't be the case! When she was buying the house, the agent said that the student across the street was a student at Peking University, just like her. If she had known this, she would have bought a one-bedroom apartment.

Seeing that she didn't open the door for such a long time, the man rang the doorbell twice. During this action, Man Yue caught a glimpse of the folding knife in his coat pocket and narrowed her eyes. This bastard, he had found the right person to cause trouble.

She immediately went to the kitchen, took out a kitchen knife that could be used to chop her brother, and opened the door.
