Xiao Yu pressed her ear to the bedroom door. When she heard the silence outside, she finally opened it and stepped out.
"Mom."
Gu Yuwei looked at Xiao Yu and smiled, a smile tinged with relief.
Xiao Yu walked over and saw the money on the floor. She crouched down and picked it all up.
"Mom, is this your money?"
Gu Yuwei nodded.
Xiao Yu handed the money to Gu Yuwei, who glanced at it. It looked to be a few hundred yuan.
Gu Yuwei pulled Xiao Yu into her arms.
"Mom, who was that man just now?"
Gu Yuwei paused for a moment before saying softly, "He was an old friend of Mom's. But not anymore."
"Why not?"
"Because he owed Mom money and didn't pay it back. So, I'm not going to be friends with him anymore."
"Oh."
