Miao Zhentao said, surprised, "Jingjing, why are you outside? Where's your mom?"
"I came back late, and mom wouldn't let me in," Miao Yajing replied.
Upon hearing this, Miao Zhentao frowned imperceptibly.
His wife did the same.
Coming back late should be addressed through proper education, he thought, but how could you lock a child outside?
The sensitivity of a teenager's disposition is at its peak, what if...
Thinking of a colleague's teenaged child who had leaped off a building after arguing with adults, Miao Zhentao felt a jolt in his heart, and immediately said, "Come back home with me."
As he spoke, Miao Zhentao helped Miao Yajing pick up her textbooks that were scattered on the ground.
Soon enough, Miao Zhentao took Miao Yajing back into the house.
Seeing her husband return with their daughter, Zhou Mei was slightly angry, but didn't say much else. After all, the girl was her own flesh and blood; she couldn't really lock her out forever!
