Xu Qiaoqiao stayed home after seeing off Xu Mushen.
Yesterday, Liu Yingxue had mentioned that a doctor would be coming to examine her mother at home today.
So she didn't go anywhere; rather, she came directly to the small courtyard where her mother was staying.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, she heard Sweet's shriek of surprise.
Xu Qiaoqiao furrowed her eyebrows, quickened her pace to the entrance, and saw Sweet and a boy about ten years old tangled up in a fight.
She frowned, but she didn't intervene right away.
Even though Sweet was losing to the boy, she gritted her teeth. Despite having a swollen face from being hit, she didn't cry or fuss. When the boy had her pinned to the ground, she kept a close watch, finally spotting a weakness. She landed a punch squarely on the boy's nose.
The boy seemed dazed and stopped in his tracks.
He stood there for a while, reaching out to touch his nose and finding it smeared with bright red blood.
