Of course, Xu Changqing never brought up the question, just as she had intentionally avoided asking about her dad's future plans on this holiday. But the answer was self-evident all the same.

However, while her mother was out of the room, Xu Changqing didn't hide the fact that she and Shen Weimin were collecting, repairing, and planning to sell watches. She quickly reported it to her dad.
