New Sister-in-law, as Zhao Guoying was called, felt happy inside and out, but he had to conceal it from Meng Xiao.
"Stop your blabbering, you guys go get the stuff for dinner ready. Make space in that unused interrogation room in the station. I'm going to meet someone." After he finished speaking, he got up and left. The remaining few quickly grabbed their bowls and chopsticks and started preparing for the meal. Two of them went to the canteen and brought back a big tub of porridge.
Meng Xiao hesitated at the door, the police station brought back unsettling memories. She didn't dare to go inside alone.
Zhao Guoying came to meet her. Meng Xiao greeted him: "Hello, Officer Zhao."
"Let's go." Zhao Guoying nodded. He picked up the basket packed with Meng Xiao's steamed buns and proceeded to the main gate. He pointed at Meng Xiao, then at himself.
Meng Xiao thought, the gesture probably meant, "She's here to see me, there's no need to log it." Right?
