Mrs. Qin sat in the back of the car holding Qi Qi, her face beaming with joy at the thought of soon meeting her daughter and her little grandson.
Lin Chuxia was driving the jeep. Just as she left the village entrance, she saw a figure squatting by the roadside from afar.
It was just 8:30, and she wondered how long this guy had been squatting there.
Pressing the brake, Lin Chuxia rolled down the window and stuck her head out to call, "Get in."
As the car slowed down, Mrs. Qin saw the man by the roadside.
Upon hearing Lin Chuxia tell him to get in, she quietly reminded, "Xiaxia, who is this person? He's not from our village."
The implication was that they shouldn't let strangers hitch a ride without knowing them.
Lin Chuxia smiled at her and said, "Mom, he's an employee from my company, like Tianyu, coming with us to the city today."
Gu Peng opened the passenger seat door and got in the car.
Mrs. Qin kept observing the man from the back seat.
