As she spoke, Mrs. Chen took out her wallet.
Jiayi stopped her, "That's enough. Just repay me exactly what I gave you, no more, no less. I won't take advantage of you, and you shouldn't try to take advantage of me. Also, I hope you won't go around talking about what happened at the kindergarten that day. I am a single mother, and I've never denied it, but I don't want my mom to hear any rumors or to have any misunderstandings."
Mrs. Chen's hand stopped mid-air, awkwardly retracting her wallet, wishing she could swear to the heavens, "Ah, my big mouth—alright, I won't say it again! If anyone else talks, I'll give them a piece of my mind, as long as Zaizai's mom isn't angry."
Jiayi's eyes flickered for a moment, "Mrs. Chen is so eager to apologize today and even to repay the debt willingly. Is it because someone asked you to do this, or is there something else going on?"
She certainly didn't believe Mrs. Chen would suddenly become a do-gooder.
