The meal left Ye Qinglian feeling very displeased, as Li Xiaoyao seemed to purposely bring up the least welcome subjects.
Although Team Leader Zhang had looked after her for a whole year, Ye Qinglian didn't think it was something worth mentioning.
After finishing the meal, the two of them walked out, and once they were in the car, Li Xiaoyao asked, "Where do you live?"
Ye Qinglian casually mentioned a residential community, and Li Xiaoyao turned on the navigation to find a route, only to discover that Ye Qinglian lived on the outskirts of town.
Li Xiaoyao asked, "Why do you live so far away?"
"Poor," she said simply.
Li Xiaoyao was left speechless and drove on dutifully.
After driving for about forty minutes, the car stopped outside an old residential community.
From afar, the community looked utterly like a ghost town.
Despite it being late at night, there were no street lights.
The community did have people, mostly migrant workers; it was a mixed bag, all sorts of people.
