"Yes . . . Yes . . . She"s safe and sound now . . . " Feng Xiao Qing tried to comfort herself as well . "She"s safe and sound now . . . " It was like she was reciting a mantra just for the sake of calming herself down .
Lu Yi Feng wanted to hug her, but he knew that he had to respect her because they weren"t in a relations.h.i.+p --- yet .
"One day, one of my other neighbors casually talked to me after a lot of hesitancy . I saw her walk back and forth before she finally came to me and said that she wanted to have a talk . I nodded my head and wondered what kind of important thing that made the woman look so agitated . After a little while, she told me to pay more attention to Xiao Xi Xi and be a good mother . . . " Feng Xiao Qing explained sadly .
The woman deliberately stopped her when she was running to her second job . She worked pretty near where she was living so she could walk to those stores without wasting transportation money . The transportation money could be used for Xiao Xi Xi"s milk and snack money . Because she wanted the little girl to grow up healthy, she was willing to save up money .
Her neighbor knew where she worked so that was the reason why it was easy for her neighbor to find her in between her s.h.i.+fts .
At first, Feng Xiao Qing was irritated by her words . After all, she had worked so hard every day for her daughter and yet, a neighbor dared to say that about her . Despite how poor she was, she still had her own pride ah~! Before she could refute those annoying words, the woman already ran away and told her not to tell Xiao Xi Xi"s caretaker that she was the one who was telling her .

What was the connection between her being a good mother and Xiao Xi Xi"s caretaker?
Feng Xiao Qing was taken aback by her neighbor"s last sentence . . . She was frozen on the spot . "Don"t let the caretaker know? Does this have something to do with that kind neighbor?" She thought to herself . She had tried to connect the dots but she couldn"t . . .
She put the words away at the back of her mind when she found that she was late for her next job . Once she started to busy working, she didn"t bother to think about that matter . However, once she had time to rest, she couldn"t put those words out of her mind .
When she thought of it, it seemed like the neighbor was warning her about Xiao Xi Xi"s caretaker, otherwise, why would she look so scared? She didn"t think there was a benefit for her if the latter was spouting nonsense ah~!
Feng Xiao Qing looked at the time and it was almost lunchtime . She felt her heart was beating erratically for some unknown reason, making her feel uncomfortable and couldn"t concentrate on her work . She made several mistakes here and there . She wondered if she should ask for an early leave and go back to pick up Xiao Xi Xi .
Fortunately, her second job"s owner was the best employers among her three bosses and she was the kindest one . She could relate to Xiao Xi Xi because she was a single mother --- her daughter was also born out of wedlock . That was also the reason why she could get a job at this store .
The lady boss saw how Feng Xiao Qing looked so pale and distracted, thus, she called her worriedly, "Is there something wrong? Why do you look so out of it today?"
Feng Xiao Qing opened and closed her mouth hesitantly, not knowing whether she should ask for the lady boss" advice or not . She was too embarra.s.sed ah~! However, she really had a bad feeling about it .
The lady boss looked more concerned and asked, "Do you need to borrow money?" Feng Xiao Qing had never borrowed money to her, but maybe she had her difficulties this time .
"No . . . no . . . " Feng Xiao Qing quickly denied it . "I . . . I have something on my mind . "
"If you have no one to talk to, you can talk to me . Besides, we don"t have anything to do at the moment," The lady boss said softly .
After contemplating for a little while, she finally told what her neighbor said truthfully . She needed a piece of sound advice and she hoped that her boss would help her understand the neighbor"s cryptic words .
When the lady boss heard what Feng Xiao Qing said, she was surprised ah~! How could Feng Xiao Qing not understand such a blunt statement?! She thought that Feng Xiao Qing must have been too innocent to think that the caretaker might be a bad woman . The lady boss quickly told her to go home and took a rest for the day .
"Why?" Feng Xiao Qing asked in confusion . Indeed, at that time, she really didn"t think that far ahead . After all, the caretaker looked so kind ah~!Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
The lady boss told her about her guess carefully and when Feng Xiao Qing heard that, her expression changed for the worse and her face seemed to turn paler even more .
"How . . . how could it be?!" Feng Xiao Qing stuttered .
The lady boss answered softly, "It"s just a possibility --- maybe . . . the neighbor who gave you a warning just did that out of envy, but it will be better if you check on it . " However, she still looked sympathetically at Feng Xiao Qing which made the latter feel uncomfortable .
She remembered the abnormality of Xiao Xi Xi for the past weeks and she almost fainted . Feng Xiao Qing felt so guilty for missing out those signs!
Feng Xiao Qing quickly threw away her ap.r.o.n after taking it off and politely asked for the lady boss permission to go home . She didn"t forget to thank her for being kind to her . When Feng Xiao Qing was out from her sight, the lady boss sighed and thought to herself, "I hope the child is okay . . . " If not, she couldn"t imagine how Feng Xiao Qing would feel . . .
Feng Xiao Qing knew that the best way to find out about what happened was by going there unannounced . That way, the caretaker couldn"t pretend to be nice and Feng Xiao Qing could really see that the caretaker had done to Xiao Xi Xi whenever Xiao Xi Xi was in her house . Even though she felt beyond worried, she still had a clear mind and tried not to be rash .
She quickly ran back home the moment she stepped out of her working place .
The caretaker lived in the same apartment as her but located on a different floor . They knew each other by chance and the caretaker always upheld a nice image in front of her . Thus, she had a good impression of her from the beginning and because of that, she let her guard down . Once she got her offer to take care of Xiao Xi Xi, she felt so grateful .
Feng Xiao Qing carefully went there and squatted in front of the woman"s apartment . She found a safe corner that allowed her to see what happened inside the apartment .
