"Recently, because of some issues, she's been pissed at me. But I didn't expect her to skip school," Chen Xu's Third Uncle said over the phone with a hint of helplessness in his voice, "I've already bought a plane ticket for tomorrow morning. At the earliest, I can only return tomorrow afternoon. Chen Xu, I have to trouble you again."
"No trouble," Chen Xu could tell he didn't want to talk about it and didn't ask further.
After hanging up, he called Secretary Guo to ask for leave. Fortunately, he had almost finished all his tasks for the day, with only one store left to visit, which could be postponed until tomorrow.
Having taken the day off, he ordered a car online and headed to his Third Uncle's home.
His Third Uncle lived in a different district of the same city, quite far away—it took over two hours by car to get there.
